Animosity of the West with the Islamic Veil

In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate

The French President Sarkozy told a gathering of policy-makers on June 20 that the Islamic veil was a symbol of slavery and humiliation. He told them that he was not going to tolerate Muslims women being kept in a net from now on. He went on to say that Muslim women in France should end wearing veil.

First of all, it is worth mentioning to say that the animosity of the West and, by extension of Mr. Sarkozy, is not originating from his amiable and benevolent emotions by thinking that the Muslim women feel uneasy in the Islamic veil. Never a Muslim women has felt nervous and disturbed by wearing the veil. They do not consider it as a burden, but they see it as a symbol of protection, respect and honour. That is why, these women are not ready to give up the Islamic veil.

We know that in some countries who ostensibly raise slogans of democracy more than the rest of the world and are apparently supporting women rights, are arrogantly bent on depriving the Muslim women of their rights to education, work and other inalienable rights under the so-called pretext of veil. Still these pious and determined women are defending their rights of liberty against all odds .

Marzia, a French Muslim woman told lslamonline that she would set fire to herself if she was forced to abandon wearing the veil. She said that she felt being safe and protected in the veil. She added that she believed, she can protect her decency and honour by wearing the veil.

It seems that it is one of Sarkosy’s anti-Islamic posturing that he wants to arrogantly force Muslim women to lose their identity by mingling in the lascivious Western culture. We think, he violates the Muslim women’s rights to freely keep their identity.

Mr. Sarkozy and supporters of his views want to drag the Muslim women to the miserable level of the Western women who have lost both their decency and personality by exposing their bodies naked. They have become a show piece for some fornicators especially in their time of youth. These licentious men hang naked photos of women everywhere even on some valueless items like shampoo, toothpaste etc. If one happens to see the coastal areas and sea sides of France, then one very easily reach the conclusion what kind of freedom, and personality Sarkozy wants for the Muslim women.

Women are forced in France and London and other European countries to turn to pornography. Thousands of women are smuggled from Russia and the Caucuses and young girls are surreptitiously brought to pander to the sexual desires of some unscrupulous lascivious persons. The question arises why they do not make any effort to save these miserable women from the humiliating life and to protect their personalities. But Mr. Sarkozy and some of his western supporters who are born and grown in a family environment where they are attached with such way of life, are now bent on jeopardizing the Muslim women personally.

The latest decision of Sarkozy is not his personal decision but it represent the ideas of all rulers of the West who want to usurp the Muslims rights of individual liberty and social rights and trample on their spiritual values. We know that none of the western rulers or human rights organizations showed any reaction against Sarkozy’s utterances. All showed a silence of affirmation.

The invading rulers of the West consider every value of the Muslims to be permissible for them to change it as they want under the callous slogans of democracy and dissemination of democracy. They want every thing of the Muslim society should be in accordance to their tastes and temperament. They want to hew out system of government, syllabus, civilization, culture, clothe and nominate even rulers for the Muslim societies.

The Muslim Ummah and their rulers should know that the West has chosen the way of antagonism against the Islamic Ummah. They not only are bent on invading and usurping the territorial integrity, and I independences of the Muslims but they are interfering in religion, ideas, traditions, culture, industry, trade, technology and social affairs of the Muslims. They want to frame all these as per the criteria of the West.

We hope the pioneers of this Ummah should see through this important matter and neutralize all their machinations, animosities, and aspirations of mastership through unity, cohesion, and sagacity.
