Now Women Will Behead Those Who Insult Muhammad!

“Women are often more religious and
ritualistic. But they're also less fanatic than men. When a woman shows traits
of zealotry and religious cruelty, it's a dangerous trend. This shows the
violent streaks of a religion that needs to curb its fundamental zeal...."

This
pertains to the news in NAI that young girls in Pakistan’s Lal Masjid are being
taught how to behead people who insult Muhammad.
In a video
doing the rounds on social media, a teacher is seen demonstrating to young
girls wearing Burqa how to hold and use a sword to behead people.
Through
this exercise, the girls are being taught that those who ‘insult’ the Prophet
will have only one punishment, and that will be decapitation. Girls, dressed in
pink, can be heard raising slogans and glorifying decapitation.
There's a
famous Urdu adage, Kharbooze Ko Dekh Kar Kharbooza Rang Badalta Hai.
Seeing Muslim men's increasing zealotry and self-proclaimed ownership of
Muhammad, the fair sex in Islam is also following suit and behaving in a
ghastly manner.
What I've
observed having interacted with Muslim men and women of all hues is that Muslim
women (esp. Sunni Muslim women) are particularly fanatic. One everyday example
will illustrate this escalating fanaticism among Muslim females. A couple of
Muslim male friends of mine still say ' Khuda Hafiz ' instead of the most
nauseating Tableeghi benediction, Allah Hafiz. But all the Muslim women, even
'educated' ones, whom I know will make it a point to say Allah Hafiz. Just one
Dr Salma is an exception, but then, she's a nominal, non-Namazi Muslim.
An Arab
neurologist based in the US, whose name I can't recall at the moment, is of the
view that when a woman becomes religiously ultra-sensitive, she starts behaving
in an eccentric manner and surpasses even male fanatics in the intensity of her
religious zeal. This analysis holds water. An ex-Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali said
the same thing. When she was a Muslim and living in Somalia, Salman Rushdie's
book ' The Satanic Verses, ' hit the stands and the hell broke loose. She
(Ayaan Hirsi Ali) admitted that she herself wanted to decapitate Rushdie for
insulting Muhammad. Such was the overwhelming spell of Muhammad and Islam on a
young and religious woman's psyche who today feels terribly embarrassed to
recall those days of pathological sickness when she followed Islam without
applying her brains. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is now a Dutch citizen who condemns Islam,
Muhammad and all man-made religions.
This trend
of renewed religious indoctrination of Muslim women, using and urging them to
decollate anyone daring to cast a slur on Muhammad must be stopped. All the
Muslims shall have to understand that a man born more than 1400 years ago in
the desert of Arabia cannot and mustn't be so dear and infallible for any
follower as to kill anyone for criticising him.
This whole
theologically murky and manipulative business of Prophethood must also be
abolished. To quote Dr Bimal Krishna Matilal, the Spalding Professor of Eastern
Religions and Ethics at Oxford, “Prophethood is a sham and considering all
religious characters, belonging to various faiths, as greater and more divine
than humans is a primitive belief that belittles the basic dignity of every
individual." Are Muslims and followers of other faiths, sects and cults
listening and cogitating over this? Perhaps not, because human brain is
collectively mortgaged.
