Preface
In the last decades of the 20th century,
humanity witnessed an Islamic holocaust; because of which millions have been
executed, decapitated, tortured, stoned to death, slaughtered and displaced by
Islamic states, political Islamic groups and Islamic terrorists in Iran, the
Sudan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Central Asia, and finally in New
York.
Parallel to the monsterousity committed by political
Islam based on the true substance of Islam, different forces ranging from
Western governments, (that nurtured and supported political Islamic groups),
mainstream media, and academic world in Western countries, majority of Eastern
and Western intellectuals and feminists came up with concepts, ideas and
theories such as fundamentalism, Islamic feminism, cultural relativism and
identity politics in order to justify the atrocities committed by Islamic
forces, and to apologize for Islam.
They try to divert people's righteous loathing for
Islam and political Islamic movement to 'fundamentalism'. They try to reduce
anti - Islamic struggle to an anti - fundamentalism. They keep telling us that
it is fundamentalism and not the 'true' and 'real' Islam. They pledge 'reform
in Islam', and the application of 'positive interpretation of the Koran' to
women's rights by "linguistic turn". They raised the idea of Islamic
feminism, and tried to attach a human face to the already ugly and monstrous
face of Islam against women.
They came up with the idea of cultural relativism and
Identity politics, and applied them to the rights of people; women and children
from Muslim origin. By applying this theories and concepts, they have harassed
and continue to harass not only people living in Islamic countries, but also
those who have been displaced or moved abroad. "Respect for other cultures
and religions" was and still is widespread across the political spectrum
in the West.
This "respect" is nothing but justifying the
brutal violation of women and children's basic human rights by Islam and
Islamic movements. This "respect for 'their' culture and religion" is
meant to justify honour killings, forced marriages, imposing the Islamic veil
on women and little girls, mutilation of children; little boys and girls, and
depriving women and children of their civil rights and individual freedom even
in Muslim inhabited communities in the heart of Europe in the 21st
century.
September 11 atrocity, another episode of this Islamic
Holocaust, exposed some of the realities of what happened to people living
under the constant terror of Islam in the final decades of the 20th
century. It exposed some of the truth of women's tragedy under Taliban. It
revealed, to some extent, the true substance of Islam. It became plain to see
that the carnage has been and is Islamic. It became evident that it is all
about Islam itself and its anti-human and anti- women philosophy and nature. It
has been and still is all about Islam's enmity with modernism, progress,
secularism, and human and women's rights.
The atrocities committed by Islamic movements and
Islamic terrorism has made it clear that there is nothing in Islamic doctrine,
philosophy, and culture to respect. The truth should be spoken. We shouldn't
let apologists for Islam play with people's live anymore. We should say clearly
and loudly that it is all about Islam, and political Islam is all based on
Islamic doctrine. We should join the fight of non - Islamic opposition against
political Islam, and people's just struggle for secularism, progress, women's
rights and egalitarianism in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.
This book documents aspects of my fight against Islam
and its advocates such as cultural relativists, proponents of Islamic feminism
and "anti - fundamentalists". This book reflects parts of my efforts
to enlighten people in the West about the true substance of Islam, and also
about the crimes that political Islam and Islamic states and movement have
committed against humanity in the final decades of the 20th century.
I hope that all freedom - lovers and secularist forces
around the world take part in a joint effort to combat political Islam, and to
promote secularism, egalitarianism and women's rights in Islam - ridden
countries.
