In the dealings with his Syrian guest a few days ago, Trump displayed the utmost contempt for the guest, asking him how many wives he hadو The guest replied, “One.” At this point, the host showed his delight at the answer, Before that, the host sprayed the guest with perfume as a way to mask his unpleasant odor, which he had brought with him from Tora Bora, In any case, the guest accepted all those insults with a smile, hoping to avoid a bigger problem, What if al-Julani had considered challenging Trump by asking him how many mistresses he had?!
All of Trump’s questions represent a kind of intrusiveness and curiosity that is unusual in political discussions, But it seems that Trump deliberately belittled his guest, who was stripped of the weapon of self-respect, The question about the number of wives was provocative and not meant as a joke, Trump wanted to hint at a problem related to his guest’s religious faith, The guest’s belief in a religious doctrine that legitimizes polygamy is a problem that must be addressed, as Tunisia and Turkey have addressed it, The doctrine does not limit the number to four wives only, as adding captives and slaves to the four wives makes the number open, especially when following the example of Ibn Abdullah, who advised four wives on the condition of justice between them, but he himself did not limit himself to four wives and did not treat them equally, meaning that he was not a good example to be followed!
Such practices and rulings, like the legalization of polygamy, demand sharp criticism, which is usually met with outright rejection and prohibition, and sometimes even with the application of brutal punishments against those who criticize and are thus deemed to be blasphemous, Despite these accusations and the problematic nature of the punishments for blasphemy, we practice contempt for whatever is contemptible, even if it is religion itself, Furthermore, those who claim to defend religion are schizophrenic, and their schizophrenia allows them to despise half of humanity, namely women, It is not morally logical to demand respect for religions and then practice contempt for women, Moreover, the scope of respect is not limited to religion alone, There are other types of respect that are more necessary than respecting religions, such as respect for elders, or respect for international relations, which means not violating borders, not committing atrocities, etc, We believe that imposing respect for religions was a euphemism for submission, and we do not see that taking a particular stance towards a person, religion, or any other system requires permission from the religion, the person, or the system, Respect is not negated by practicing criticism, and criticism is constructive when There are mistakes, and there are no mistakes greater than those of religion, its laws, its men, and their actions.
The terrifying aspect of the demand for respect for religion lies in the source of this demand, which is overwhelmingly the Muslim Brotherhood, who do not accept others or criticism, They even consider that the only true religion in God’s eyes is Islam, and all others are false. That is, they practice contempt for and belittle other religions, and then they try to silence critics, i.e., to disable the instinct for thinking and expression, These people represent religion, therefore religion is considered dictatorial like any human dictator, or even worse, We do not wish to elaborate on the subject of respect for religion, because the real name for the demand for respect for religion is blind obedience to the group of this religion, We will certainly not obey!!!!
Returning to Trump’s question regarding the number of wives of the interim leader, al-Julani, of course, Trump has no connection to al-Julani’s faith, but Trump does have a connection to women’s rights, and we also have a connection to human and animal rights, Women are human beings who must be respected before religions are respected, because tampering with women’s rights, children’s rights, and human rights in general affects all of humanity, Therefore, it is logical and necessary for the local and international community to have an opinion and a position regarding polygamy, It is the duty of the local and international community to ensure the dignity and rights of all its members, including women, The problems or consequences of polygamy are a matter that concerns human society locally and globally, Therefore, there are international resolutions regarding birth control, and there are international provisions regarding social guarantees, then the organization of inheritance and alimony, then the future of children, then education and work, and regarding the provision of aid, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights does not allow for the establishment of incubators for producing problems, nor does it allow turning the world into a jungle, Therefore, polygamy is prohibited in all societies of the world except for Arab societies, with the exception of Tunisia.
Perhaps Trump’s question was a kind of indication and warning about the Syrian birth rates that have exceeded 3.2%, which are no longer a burden on Syria only, but a burden on the rich countries that received the hungry Syrian refugees (economic asylum), The “rabbit” proliferation of refugees in the countries of asylum was a major reason for starting to deport them to the regions they came from, especially after the authorities of these countries discovered the practice of polygamy, which is prohibited on their lands, through fraud, i.e. one wife officially and two wives or even more than two wives through a marriage called “customary”, i.e., by the sheikh only, i.e., practicing a blatant violation of the law by means of legal fraud.
Since we have discussed polygamy as a social ill, we want to briefly address other such issues, Like polygamy, female genital mutilation (FGM) must be examined, While some consider it a personal freedom or obedience to divine religious commands, we do not consider the mutilation of a girl a personal freedom, Rather, it is a barbaric and criminal act that deprives a woman of sexual pleasure throughout her life , It lays the foundation for numerous problems that society must address, Egyptian law, at the urging and warning of UNESCO, tackles the issue of FGM,The penal code mandates imprisonment for varying terms for those who perform it, with sentences reaching up to 20 years, Those who promote or practice FGM are promoting a savage, jungle-like mentality, The psychology and ethics of the jungle are unsuitable for establishing a state governed by a social contract that applies equally to all, One of the clauses of this contract is the criminalization of FGM, as it is incompatible with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, The destruction of a woman’s sexual life represents a vital value far more significant than religious values, Humanity should respect women’s sexual aspirations more than it respects religions, Sex is the basis of existence for millions of years, unlike religions, which are considered very young in terms of age.
The issue of the hijab is no different from female genital mutilation and polygamy, Of course, a woman has the right to organize her dress and clothing as she wishes, but no one has the right to threaten or blackmail a woman with hellfire and to burn unveiled women in the fire. This is terrorism, blackmail, and a crime, The hijab is not limited to covering some parts of the body; the hijab is primarily a veiling of the mind,Threatening religious figures and others with hellfire is nothing but terrorism and an attack on the being and dignity of women, It is not the woman who should be put in the black cage, but rather religion that should be put in the black cage!
It seems that some people have not yet understood the generality of the social privacy of man,Some want a life of the wild jungle, and it cannot be said that this does not concern us, and that others have no relation to it, on the basis that it is an internal matter, The refuge of millions of believers in other countries and the costs of their stay in these countries is not an internal matter at all!
