Ignorant Scholars

Only yesterday I have decided to give up listening to Mid-eastern scholars for good (with all due respect to the very few exceptions,) for it has gone too far just yet. I couldn't help but notice the highly sexist fatwa. People who know me know that I adore the word sexist, because I'm so used to it, because it's everywhere! As long as there will be many 'scholars' who are men, there forever will be fatwas that allow them and their fellow men to enjoy all sorts of pleasures with females, like forced sex with your wive, or a man being able to beat her up freely if she refuses the sex (rape, ain't it?) or her not allowed to see God's great sun by not allowing her to leave the house, or having the 'right' to keep her from seeing relatives in the name of 'God gave me control over you'. If I practice MY ISLAM the way those scholars want me do, I'd just turn myself into a slave and go to my wedding with a chain and a metal ball tied to my foot, how about that?

All I hear is 'A man can, and a man can, and a man can!' Well, you know what? 'A man had to do this, and that, and that, and that, and he did nothing of those'.

There's nothing surprising with sexist fatwa in an equal religion. Doubtlessly, many 'scholars' are lustful and greedy and have the POWER, the AUTHORITY, and the LEGAL ABILITY to do what they like and change the standards of this society like long ago when the Jilbab fashion broke out, or when people were first introduced to Televisions and 'scholars' called them T.V's 'The Greater Devil' until only the creative scholars were able to spread a message through it by broadcasting Quran and religion shows. Thank you, dear 'scholars', you have successfully ruined the name of MY ISLAM. Arabs to this day use marriage as a tool to get rid of their children.

If you give up your 2-year-old to some man, how can you be sure he's not going to sexually molest her? If your father gave your 2-year-old sister to some man, why did you shut up and not say anything? Who's responsible for this is you and me.

Truth it is that too many fatwas tried to pull people back to the stone age. Even if Al Sayeda Aisha was married at the age of five (or six or seven) which I DOUBT with all my heart, even if it was true (in an era where women were both mentally and physically mature at the age of five and six and when marrying young women was widely spread!) would she be like a 21-century girl of age of five? And isn't that completely against the Quran where it says 'Marry WOMEN' and not CHILDREN.

Yes, I have my doubts about many Ahadith (Hadiths) narrated by Al Sayeda Aisha (may God bless her), and I even doubt they have been somehow either altered or else. Some of them are opposite to Quran, out of context, highly sexist, or abusive to women. The worst of them show Prophet Muhammed (peace and prayer be upon him) as the man he is not! Who truly validated those Ahadiths (Hadiths)? How is it possible for us to validate them? Isn't validation better than trying to explain them to suit the Arab mind? Even the early scholars explained Islam in a somewhat restarted and highly sexist way. Why? Well, with all respect to the wonderful gentlemen who sought this life in thought and wisdom, scholars were mostly men, too. A woman is not even allowed grab the microphone in the mosque and say what she has to say even if it's true and worth being spoken out. Why? I don't see anywhere in Quran when it says Women can't give speeches like men. How about the queen of Sheba? THE QUEEN OF SHEBA, people! A woman in POLITICS! Oh, don't seclude women from societies, dear 'scholars', because you can't handle them! So yes, most 'scholars' were men, and thus, sadly, even one man (high authority and wealth will help) can be sexist and drag the whole population down with him!

Only because you some of you parents failed to raise your children on the human Fitra (natural feeling) and good manners, it doesn't give you the right to make them marry young to protect them from Zinna (adultery). 

(Note: I have used the word scholars between two apostrophes to indicate the false ones. No names will be mentioned. (We're still Muslims and we like to keep scandals under a thick blanket.))
