Democracy tried to show women's rights and supports everything that is wrong
(Translated)
News:
The BBC reported that British MP Steve Reed expressed his strong anger after learning that women were excluded from a charity race in Victoria Park, East London. The race, which was five kilometers long and organized by the East London Mosque, attracted hundreds of participants, but restricted entry to men, boys and girls under the age of 12, despite being marketed as "inclusive."
MP Steve Reed condemned the gender restriction and described it as "completely unacceptable" during an interview with LBC radio, expressing his "horror and shock" at the exclusion. He pointed out that the Equality and Human Rights Commission would investigate the matter, with the possibility of subsequent penalties.
Reed stressed: "We don't want a situation in this country where men are allowed to do things that women are prevented from doing. We cannot tolerate this," specifically criticizing the use of public spaces for a gender-restricted event. Lutfur Rahman, the mayor of Tower Hamlets, was quoted on the mosque's website congratulating the participants, "especially the young, the elderly and the community as a whole for their participation today," without mentioning the gender restrictions. The mosque, which describes the annual fundraising event as a major event in East London's Islamic calendar to raise funds for youth projects and support refugees, did not directly respond to the criticism, but affirmed its commitment to supporting women in various sports activities. The council has requested urgent clarification.
Comment:
The duplicity in the minister's words is quite astonishing! Here we have a deep, fake concern about the inclusion of Muslim women in the UK, and outrage that they can't "run" in London.
Yet this same minister supports a government that has armed and condoned the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of Muslim women in Gaza.
These women and children are being forced to flee the injustice and massacres that have been going on for decades.
These sisters are forced to flee, carrying their children and some of their belongings.
These mothers have no choice but to flee their properties and wealth, leaving them behind to be plundered by the enemies of Islam.
Grandmothers are forced to flee their comfort and face unbearable fear and hardship.
The daughters of this nation are fleeing their education and degrees as universities and schools turn into mass graves.
Our religious daughters run alone, lonely, when all their male guardians are arrested, tortured or kidnapped.
Journalists have documented on social media young boys and girls carrying their infant brothers and sisters for miles when they are separated from their families. They don't know where to flee or who they can find to help them, and most of their lives will remain short due to disease or lack of medicine, food and water.
The added nonsense in these "empowerment" comments from secular politicians who worship capitalism is that they see no complaint from the Muslim women themselves because they are so happy to maintain their honor and dignity.
Yet when Muslim women do speak out about their rights, they are ignored by Western interests that only seek to value human rights on the basis of colonial loss and profit.
We must remember the words of God Almighty when He warns us of the hidden enemy; ﴿And when you see them, their bodies please you, and if they speak, you listen to their words. It is as if they were pieces of timber propped up - They think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah destroy them; how are they turned away?﴾.
We must certainly warn our young people and be vigilant against snake-like agendas that seem to work well but are only designed to distract and harm.
