Sharia Stinks!

I had a fight with my MALE MP because I wrote on my blog that Islam suppresses women. He thought I was being too harsh. I thought he was being blind to the problems of Sharia. We both decided to agree to disagree.

I don't think males understand the fear that females have about sharia. I do not want to have to bow down to Muslim males. I fought hard to achieve the career I have now, I think ALL women should have the same chance, but sharia will not allow Muslim females to achieve their goals. We are seeing sharia creep into our justice system with the ruling that a female can cover her face when testifying. It is a slow progression, but it is happening. Journalists are afraid to report about anything Muslim, we saw that with their refusal to show the cartoons depicting Mohammad. Now our MP's are doing the same thing, they are refusing to acknowledge that Islam is a danger to women. Maybe they should listen to a Muslim about the issue:



Wafa Sultan is a strong voice in support of Muslim women and ultimately all women. Funny how feminists ignore her and her message. I want my MP to come out of the dark and support those females who are brave enough to stand up against sharia. I do not want to wear a sack, I do not want to have to be accompanied by a male representative wherever I go. I do not want my female grandchildren mutilated, and I do not want them subjected to a harsh environment of suppression and servitude to males.  I do not want the government to follow political correctness, but I'm afraid that they have already been compromised.  It's time for the silent majority to get LOUD!

There Is No Honour In Murder!

Honour killings, where's the honour? Who's honour? Some 7th century immigrant male who thinks he is superior to any female? It is disgusting. It does not belong in Canada. You will all nod your heads in agreement, but many will fail to understand the deep fear women live with everyday.

I had the chance to talk with a beautiful young woman from Afghanistan. I mentioned sharia law and her eyes went wide with fear, she stood up and in a very soft voice stated that she hoped we would never have sharia in Canada. I could see her shivering with just the thought that Canada would allow sharia. She was lucky that when her parents immigrated they did it for all the right reasons, and one of those was to escape sharia laws. She is being allowed to integrate into Canadian culture, and understands that females are equal here. She went back to visit her grandma in Afghanistan and when I asked her if she would go back there to help her people, she shook her head no. She liked Canada because it was safe.

I know that males do not understand this issue. My own MP does not understand the fear that women live with because of Islam. In my last discussion with him, he was mad at me because of this blog post:

When a demographic becomes too overwhelming, will it mean changes forced on the minority, like sharia law? Females should be very scared of that happening. Feminists, who trumpeted womens rights should be worried about our female Muslims who are suffering from discrimination and a lack of education. They are considered slaves by Islam, only good for breeding. Well we all know that feminists don't like breeders, so maybe that is why they do so little to defend Muslim women.

He was listening to a Liberal board member, hiding herself as a Conservative (they do that a lot in Alberta, poor things, that's how we got stuck with Stelmach), who complained about my blog, who either spent hours going through every blog post I had ever made to discredit me, or I suspect listened to her Liberal/NDP friend Gayle (who has been suspiciously absent from my blog ever since...guilt???? HA, as if Liberals knew what that was.).

To his credit, my MP doesn't support sharia law, but he also doesn't appear have a clue about how strongly women really feel about the suppression of their rights because of sharia. Even if it is not legal in Canada, you have to suspect it is being practiced. Honour killings are a huge hint!!! DUH!!

Thankfully Rona is doing something about the issue:

@Truthjustice

You are right, which is why I did not single out Islam.

It is in the interest of ALL religious organizations, and they were quite good at it up until the last 100 years in this continent... it's still common practice in many parts of the world.

Not enough praise can be given to the real feminists of the early 20th century who proudly stood up and said NO MORE.

You would think the horrid oppression of women in other countries would be the main focus of modern feminists, however Western feminism today has more to do with socialism than actual feminism, the fema-nazi's you see today are concerned with equality in outcome rather than equality in opportunity.

Go haunt some other chick who is actually afraid of your Islamic supremacists' drivel. Of course I'm afraid of Islam, as a female I'd be property of men to despose of at will, killed on a whim, denied gender equality and forced to run around dressed in a body bag. What's to like Spioza, I'd rather be dead than forced to convert to the Religion of violence and hate.

Canadian females like SassieLassie have a huge advantage, they don't back down to any male. We have been raised as equal to our brothers, not as fodder for suicide bombs, or slaves to our fathers. Canadian males, including I suspect, my MP, do not understand what Sassy is saying, Islam scares us. It seeks to destroy all the strides we have made to be considered equal, not slaves to males. MP's of all stripes need to stop pandering for votes and start protecting ALL Canadians.

To Burka, Or Not To Burka, That Is The Question!

The burka issue that is bubbling in Quebec is a very interesting debate. Personally, I think as long as the women are not being forced to wear the burka, let them go ahead. I have wondered why they would continue to wear it in Canada. It is definitely an attention getter, and maybe that is why they wear it. In Afghanistan, all women wear the burka, so they do not stand out, but in Canada only a few wear it making them stand out. Funny how converts like the burka/hijab, it's a statement about who they are, it's a kind of preening, a look at me, see how different I am.



This is a good example of culture clash. I wouldn't be caught dead in either outfit. Most of us are in-between. I fully support the right of each woman to wear what they want, but seriously, they both look ridiculous. How many of you would walk into work in either garment?

As Canadians we need to help the women who come from different cultures to adjust. That doesn't mean they have to parade around in bikinis, but it does mean that we stand up against sharia laws being implemented in our country. We need to reach out our hands to women from other cultures, who have been oppressed. We need to let them know that they can remove those veils without fear. We also need to send a very strong message to the oppressors that we will not tolerate any form of sharia law in our country, and that women are equal, in all respects, and at all times.

I wonder why the feminists don't feel the same way?
