As much as it saddens me to admit it, the Anglosphere still holds a firm monopoly on SJW bats~~~ insanity, which I suspect is correlated with its colonial history. But every now and then Spain manages to produce a turd research of its own, and oh boy, this one is so glorious, it probably is the best feminist meltdown our country ever witnessed. Grab something strong to drink, or be ready to get cringed to death. Join me in my journey into madness.
So, you can imagine my curiosity when Google teases me with this headline: “The Jail of Feminism, a politically incorrect analysis on Islam and feminism”. Written by a muslim woman, no less. What could it be? Somebody is acknowledging that those two are incompatible? F~~~ing finall…
Islamic feminism is redundant, Islam is egalitarian.
So much for political incorrectness. But in top of being an islamic feminist, you can also tell she’s a vegan. Why, you might ask? Well, she loves her word salads:
This is exactly what Sibai’s [the author] book is all about: Why islamophobia is consubstantial to the coloniality of European thought, how the epistemological-existential eurocentric jail has caught the muslim, and where the exit to this labyrinth is.
All I understood from that paragraph is that we are trapping muslims in ethereal jails and that she’s trying to escape from a labyrinth she herself has built. Most of the article features meaningless drooling of that sort. But we must dig deeper, we must understand what’s truly going on. This is the author’s stated, personal philosophy:
“I’m striving for a decolonialist, anti-capitalist, anti-patriarchal, anti-sexist, anti-classist and anti-racist revolution from the nuclear position of Islamic faith“.
Clear as day folks. As I’m sure she has caught your attention with her stunning wit already, let’s read a few Q&A, shall we?
[…] Wassyla Tanzali, an Algerian feminist has said: “Being feminist is incompatible with wearing a Hiyab”.
In my opinion, Wassyla is deeply colonialist and her speeches are islamophobic. She, like other feminists, has mantained a thesis that says the Qur’an is incompatible with feminism. But anybody with a basic knowlegde of arabic and Islam knows otherwise.
You can’t deny that patriarchy exists in in arabic and muslim countries as well.
I don’t deny the existence of brutal patriarchal structures in arabic and muslim countries. But we must analyze the sociopolitic reality: you can’t say that chauvinist behaviour is intrinsic to muslim societies, because that’s racist.
And what do you think about the question of making Islam and democracy compatible?
I think we must leave those discussions behind, for they are born out of a cultural and epistemological racism.
There’s so much more to it but, honestly, just trying to translate this garbage is melting my brain. America, you are the f~~~ing kid that caught lice and instead of staying home, you came to class and infected the rest of the world. Next time you expand make sure it’s proper Lebensraum and not somebody else’s native land, so you won’t have to face this anti-colonialist crap years down the line.
