Bikini vs. Burka: The Debauchery of Women

[Raheem]

I had to do a paper last semester for this article and I thought I could share it now.

Bikini Vs. Burka
By Henry Makow Ph.D.



On my wall, I have a picture of a Muslim woman shrouded in a burka.

Beside it is a picture of an American beauty contestant, wearing nothing but a bikini.

One woman is totally hidden from the public; the other is totally exposed. These two extremes say a great deal about the clash of so-called "civilizations."

The role of woman is at the heart of any culture. Apart from stealing Arab oil, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are about stripping Muslims of their religion and culture, exchanging the burka for a bikini.

I am not an expert on the condition of Muslim women and I love feminine beauty too much to advocate the burka here. But I am defending some of the values that the burka represents for me.

For me, the burka represents a woman's consecration to her husband and family. Only they see her.It affirms the privacy, exclusivity and importance of the domestic sphere.

The Muslim woman's focus is her home, the "nest" where her children are born and reared. She is the "home" maker, the taproot that sustains the spiritual life of the family, nurturing and training her children, providing refuge and support to her husband.

In contrast, the bikinied American beauty queen struts practically naked in front of millions on TV. A feminist, she belongs to herself. In practice, paradoxically, she is public property. She belongs to no one and everyone. She shops her body to the highest bidder. She is auctioning herself all of the time.

In America, the cultural measure of a woman's value is her sex appeal. (As this asset depreciates quickly, she is neurotically obsessed with appearance and plagued by weight problems.)

As an adolescent, her role model is Britney Spears, a singer whose act approximates a strip tease. From Britney, she learns that she will be loved only if she gives sex. Thus, she learns to "hook up" furtively rather than to demand patient courtship, love and marriage. As a result, dozens of males know her before her husband does. She loses her innocence, which is a part of her charm. She becomes hardened and calculating. Unable to love, she is unfit to receive her husband's seed.

The feminine personality is founded on the emotional relationship between mother and baby. It is based on nurturing and self-sacrifice. Masculine nature is founded on the relationship between hunter and prey. It is based on aggression and reason.

Feminism deceives women to believe femininity has resulted in "oppression" and they should adopt male behavior instead. The result: a confused and aggressive woman with a large chip on her shoulder, unfit to become a wife or mother.

This is the goal of the NWO social engineers: undermine sexual identity and destroy the family, create social and personal dysfunction, and reduce population. In the "brave new world," women are not supposed to be mothers and progenitors of the race. They are meant to be neutered, autonomous sex objects.

Liberating women is often given as an excuse for the war in Afghanistan. Liberating them to what? To Britney Spears? To low-rise "see-my-thong" pants? To the mutual masturbation that passes for sexuality in America? If they really cared about women, maybe they'd end the war.

Parenthood is the pinnacle of human development. It is the stage when we finally graduate from self-indulgence and become God's surrogates: creating and nurturing new life. The New World Order does not want us to reach this level of maturity. Pornography is the substitute for marriage. We are to remain single: stunted, sex-starved and self-obsessed.

We are not meant to have a permanent "private" life. We are meant to remain lonely and isolated, in a state of perpetual courtship, dependent on consumer products for our identity.

This is especially destructive for woman. Her sexual attraction is a function of her fertility. As fertility declines, so does her sex appeal. If a woman devotes her prime years to becoming "independent," she is not likely to find a permanent mate.

Her long-term personal fulfillment and happiness lies in making marriage and family her first priority.

Feminism is another cruel New World Order hoax that has debauched American women and despoiled Western civilization. It has ruined millions of lives and represents a lethal threat to Islam.

I am not advocating the burka but rather some of the values that it represents, specifically a woman's consecration to her future husband and family, and the modesty and dignity this entails.

The burka and the bikini represent two extremes. The answer lies somewhere in the middle.

just wear whatever the fuck you find comfortable and don't fall victim to sexual objectification or sexual repression.

[El Mono]

I don't think it's that simple, buddy.

The crazy thing about our current society is that we went from religious sexual repression not so long ago in America, to in your face plastic surgery and full frontal at every news stand. People tried to break out of the repressed shell but they merely went to another dangerous extreme.

lol, you don't liberate women by destroying their country, killing their families and enforcing your economic programs on them. Common sense that seems to elude the most serious commentators and "defenders" of women.

I'm sure these "values" or whatever that the burqa supposedly represents appeal to some people, but I can't complain when spring rolls around and the skirts start showin up everywhere. HAHA, at the end of the day, it's not my business. The only thing that is my business is whether people are coerced into shit, whether by advertising, culture or education. It's funny though...

[Introcluse]

the funny thing is the burka predates islam in saudi arabia. Many muslims have an anthema for pagan rituals yet they copy the pagan burka ritual lol

until the hadith were dropped 200 years after the quran burkas, veils, hijabs had nothing to do with islam. in hadith its mentioned that a few insecure arab men wanted there wives going around in bin-liners. This part of arab culture then became islamic theology.

Maybe there are many Muslim women who would not agree with that statement -get real - Muslim women who have careers also.One doesnt negate the other. Women can have careers and still maintain a focus on thos things you have mentioned. I know a Muslim woman who is studying to be a midwife, a good friend of my wife - infact she has gone to meet her this evening as I type this. My wife was raised as a catholic. Also its a statement that could equally apply to Christians, Hindus and non religious people.

frankie - I think your article is full of simplistic generalisations btw. Ultimately people should decide their own destinies without outside interferance - that goes for people not having their countries bombed and women having their right to decide for themselves what they wear.

Except burka is not freedom, it is forced on the woman by their family and specially their men. Once they take their burka on they can never take it off in public.
Burka is not something a women choose to wear. Of course in some cases it is.

Burka is illegal where I live, and I would call the police if I saw one, or throw some stones at her, seriously... it freaks the shit out of me.
The person wearing a burka is no longer a person but a object because you can not see the person.

Anyway IF burka were a choise like, hmm today Ill wear my burka and tomorrow a thong and bikini it would be a completely diffrent matter.

However burka as it is today represents prison or submissiong to her religion/man.
And yes, now I understand why muslim country stone their woman... :/
