A dilemma for feminists.

In today’s news, a Muslim fundamentalist from Dubai stopped lifeguards from saving a young girl from drowning. His name is Colonel Ahmed Burqibah and he's the chief of police in the area. In his view, it was better that she died rather than be touched by the male lifeguards and dishonored. He did this because of his religious beliefs. How do you react? [b]A. [/b]Condemn the atrocious behaviour of the father whose patriarchal religious beliefs caused him to allow his innocent daughter to die. [i]Warning: You will be criticizing Islam and a person of color for the sake of a woman.[/i] [b]B. [/b]Praise the father for staying true to his beliefs and his culture. [i]Warning: You will be undermining the life of a woman even though feminism is supposed to be about empowerment.[/i] [b]C. [/b]Remain completely silent about the issue and ignore it completely because the rules of social justice and political correctness conflict with themselves in here as they do in almost all situations. Hint: If you are a feminist, you will pick C because you are a ridiculous caricature of a human being.

  • I'm a feminist and I chose option A. If Islam says that it's dishonorable for a girl to be touched by a man when he's [i]saving her life[/i], then that's a fücking stupid facet of the religion. I may be a feminist, but I'm also an atheist and this is the major issue that I disagree with many of my fellow feminists about. Many of them are so quick to be apologetic when it comes to terrible things inspired by Islam, but yet will criticize Christianity all day long. In reality, all religions are stupid and dangerous, and Islam happens to be the [i]worst[/i] of them in modern times. Also criticizing his actions based on religious beliefs has nothing to do with him being a person of color. Being critical of religion has absolutely nothing to do with race. White Christians have refused medical treatment for their terminally ill children based on their religious beliefs, and that's murder as far as I'm concerned. So fück you with your "if you're a feminist you have to choose option C" bullshit.
