Womens Rights - Lest We Forget Them

Women in the West fought a long campaign for the freedoms they have now in sexuality, dress, working opportunities and lifestyles. Homosexuals have followed a very similar path.

Starting with the right to vote and moving into the feminist movements of the 1960's and 70's, and the current gender economic rights campaigns now, the lot of women in the West, and by extension women world wide improved.

In fact despite resistance in the Muslim world, the right to vote has been granted to women in most countries, always accepting that it's just as wasted as the men's, in places like North Korea, China, Egypt or Zimbabwe etc where dictatorships are in place.
 
There are a few hold outs:
  • Bhutan — One vote per house. Although this applies to both men and women, in practice it currently prevents many more women from voting than men. If the new proposed constitution is voted and ratified, then no restrictions will apply by 2008.
  • Lebanon — Partial suffrage. Proof of elementary education is required for women but not for men. Voting is compulsory for men but optional for women.
  • Brunei — No suffrage for women. Neither men nor women have had the right to vote or to stand for election since 1962 because the country is governed by an absolute monarchy.
  • Saudi Arabia — No suffrage for women. The first local elections ever held in the country occurred in 2005. Women were not given the right to vote or to stand for election.
  • United Arab Emirates — Limited, but will be fully expanded by 2010.

So far so good ..... however as we are discussing considerably more than just a right to vote, and on that front things for women world wide, and in the west don't look so good long term. The rise of Sharia Law, and its threatened adoption in western countries over the next thirty or forty years, is likely to reverse women's and homosexual rights everywhere it influences.

In Iran women are regularly sentenced to death and hung in the streets, on mobile gallows or cranes, for offences such as resisting a gang of rapists. Homosexuals are hung in Iran as well.

In Afghanistan under the Taliban regime, women were/are not allowed out on the streets or to work ... they were reduced to begging or prostitution, and then beaten or killed for being "whores or on the street". This Islamic paradise was operating under the purest of Sharia laws ever implemented, and yet not one Muslim country thought the treatment of women (the deaths, the suicides, the murders and starvation and beatings), was worthy of one word of condemnation. Human rights for women, rates so low in Muslim consciousness, that not one Muslim country ever steps in to criticise any other Muslim regime that treats women like chattels or slaves.

We have had two examples recently (The Saudi rape trial, and Sudan's religious laws), of what women can expect in the new world order, and yet where are the women on the streets campaigning for women's rights in the countries where they have none to be supervised or banned in the west?

As a man I would resist with violence if our government ever tried to impose non western rules or values in the UK, and I fear that some PC Multiculturalists in the current Labour party will propose it in the future (probably to get a few vote in Birmingham or Leicester - Leicester by the way holds the distinction of being the first city in the UK that will have a non white majority aka 'Muslim' by 2030).
 
But where are the women marching?

We may well be ultimately doomed to having some sort of Sharia Laws imposed (but not in my lifetime), unless actions are taken to halt the last twenty years of Muslim immigration, so I would have thought that women would be looking to get any PC obsessed government, to take some action now to ensure that sharia councils were not brought into places like Leicester, or Birmingham.

All women's rights gained over the last century, could be wiped out inside twenty year's by the "democratic imposition" of sharia laws in our inner cities.

Before anyone says "preposterous" ..... Here's a few links that may raise your eyebrows and depress your spirits.

There is some resistance to this by other Muslims (because the educated Muslims suffer almost as much as the non-Muslim under Sharia - which is the law of the illiterate, uneducated and ignorant). But there is nowhere on the planet where the 'educated and moderate' Muslims rule .... little democracy, its either a dictatorship (Egypt, Libya, Syria etc), or Religious/Theocracies (such as Saudi or Iran).

The two much vaunted Moderate Muslim Democracies, Malaya and Turkey are not exactly what they appear (as will be proved as they to radicalise over the next decade), and it's a relative kind of 'moderate' i.e moderate in comparison to the regimes that other Muslims live under.

Women need to start agitating now, to protect themselves against a reign of terror for their daughters or grand daughters, if sharia law is ever imposed - they can't claim ignorance of the danger as an excuse if it ever arrives, as its being sign posted all across the Internet, and even some elements of the mainstream media.

WOMEN in the media should be the flag carriers for resistance, but I fear that most are vacuous airheads, who parade their "PC liberalism" like a badge of honour, and bend over backward to accommodate all values as being equal and equivalent to a Western Liberals .... even when they clearly are nothing of the sort. They don't seem to care that they would be the very first to suffer if sharia laws and values get a grip, and prefer to rely on someone else to save them rather than risk being branded as 'racists' themselves.

It will take a Mary Whitehouse or a young Germaine Greer type character to stand up and agitate loudly, and ignore the death threats from the ignorant, to defend women's rights. A brave woman indeed, but is there one out there?

    1. Firstly, apologies for not acknowledging your comment. I am better mannered these days.

      Secondly. Having just reread the post ... damn I'm good. Look at Turkey eleven years later. It doesn't get waived around as an example of moderate Islam any more ... its more like Egypt these days.
