Muslim Feminisms vs White Feminist

Dear Anarcho-Feminist,

Nasreen (Vanessa) and I have written about multiple feminism in response to increase Islamophobia and xenophobia iin North America and Europe. We wanted to highlight the issues we face as anarcho-feminists and thus wanted to share it with you as part of submission. http://independent.academia.edu/VanessaRivera/Papers/1775858/Towards_a_Recognition_of_Multiple_feminism_The_Voice_of_Muslim_Women

Regards,
Ayesha & Nasreen

Interesting article submitted to me about islamophobia and what you could call feminationalism, or colonialist feminism. Read and learn!

When, as happened recently in France, an attempt is made to coerce women out of the burqa rather than creating a situation in which a woman can choose what she wishes to do, it’s not about liberating her, but about unclothing her. It becomes an act of humiliation and cultural imperialism. It’s not about the burqa. It’s about the coercion. Coercing a woman out of a burqa is as bad as coercing her into one. Viewing gender in this way, shorn of social, political and economic context, makes it an issue of identity, a battle of props and costumes. It is what allowed the US government to use western feminist groups as moral cover when it invaded Afghanistan in 2001. Afghan women were (and are) in terrible trouble under the Taliban. But dropping daisy-cutters on them was not going to solve their problems.

As a Muslim, I’m sick of people asking me how I feel about 9/11. What do you want me to say, seriously? Do you want me to say, “It was a great plan, mwahahaha!” before I fly off on a magic carpet?

I was born and raised in this country and was just as shocked as everyone else to learn there were people on this earth so vile as to commit such a horrific attack - or to even think about doing it. But I didn’t do it. Neither did 99.999999999 percent of the roughly 1.5 billion people in the world who also call themselves Muslims. So why should I or any other Muslim apologize for what happened?

Nickleback is planning on releasing another album. Should I ask white people to apologize for that?

Stop the Islamophobia! As a percentage of the total population, more Americans are members of neo-Nazi organizations than there are Muslims who are members of al-Qaeda.
