A Muslim Convert's Take on US Women & Society

by "Anon"

(for Henrymakow.com)





One of my female friends phoned and asked:


"Did you see the new Sex and the City movie? This show is crap. Can't believe they made it into a full length movie. As a female, I resent they make women so stupid and shallow."

Thank God for this friend. Because I work in an office with six women who are:

Career driven women without any emotions and compassion and love and respect.

Stressful women who can be very very angry and hateful

Women who look like women from the outside but there is a beast in them.

Women who are always accusing men of being the reason they are like that -- "you figure!"

Women who are liars and malicious and have nothing to do but to save as much money and try to step on everything you can imagine to keep their jobs.

Should I go on? I know one thing, these women if they were to get married "I doubt that" they will be A DISASTER!!!! They will be real bad mothers of the west!


I am a proud Muslim covert and I watch TV, movies, listen to my iPod but I know that Allah (God) is aware of everything that I do. I just use good judgment in how I live my life and how I use those technologies that He has given us all.

However, people totally lose all sight and remembrance of our Creator.


People in western society are oversexed, overworked, overweight, everything is in excess- alcohol, food, sex---EVERYTHING!


More and more people are watching pornography, committing rape and other crimes, cheating on their partners; being promiscuous... should I go on?

Islam really solves all the ills of modern society. We are taught to turn away from immoral actions and gain the pleasure of our Lord Allah. We are forbidden from drinking alcohol, gambling, and sexual intercourse outside of a marriage. We are taught to lower our gaze and not look at the opposite sex. That guidance is a blessing from Allah to heal all the sicknesses of the heart such as lust and depravity.

And as far as Western culture transforming women into objects of sex and lust, walk down the streets in the summertime. Take a look at any one of the fashion magazines; it's obvious that women are extremely objectified and looked at as pieces of meat. They're judged by this society by what they look like, not their personality and intelligence, and that's very sad.

This is why Allah commanded women to follow the guidelines of hijab and to cover their bodies. They were given their dignity and respect because men view them as strong women instead of conquests.

As Muslims, we should not reject any society or any technologies, but embrace them while still staying modest and true to our faith and in remembrance of Allah, the Creator of everything.


P.S.: True Christians and Jews don't even do those things. Unfortunately, we are under attack!

it's henry makow he posts and says some good things about muslims and sometimes he says incorrect things....

I agree with much of what has been said. To a large extent, the media has had a destructive effect on Western societal values. Endeavours to harvest and seed corporate bottom lines are always the prime motivators and everyone knows the masses are susceptible to their most carnal urges.

While surfing banal Internet sites, observe obscene ads that hope to lure semi-comatose individuals to clicking URLs leading to products that have absolutely nothing to do with enticing imagery. The sad fact of the matter is that when anonymous persons are given a choice between tuning into something racy versus something pedestrian, they will statistically choose the former. Marketers who ignore the stats don't last very long in the field. Naturally, there are consequences to all this seductive attention-grabbing media and, more generally, the colossal abundance of choices people are exposed to. It seems to me that attention spans have shrunken, quality has been superseded by garishness and there's not a lot of self-reflection these days.

To be fair, Western society is extremely diverse and there's a very large segment of the population who abhor such mainstream trends. These critics include not only the religious, who see an abomination in light of God, but also the non-religious, who favour family values and a happy functioning society. I, for one, cringe at the prospect of more freewheeling "Sex and the City" type shows. It's concerning, to say the least, that values like commitment, modesty and chastity have been buried under mountains of dollars.

Yet they think they are liberated.. Praise be to Allah who taught us the true meaning and beauty of modesty.
