I document here an example of the homophobic mania that drives already in the "moderate" Islamist groups on the loose. This is the translation of an article on islamonline.net, the largest Islamic web portal (the Muslim Brotherhood related parties, led by televangelist al-Qaradawi). The article is very much not out of line - he is just an arbitrarily chosen example. Such rhetoric works on the virtue terrorism and threatened daily lives!
Ahmad al-Masri (Journalist, Saudi Arabia)
victims of abuse ... the deviants * tomorrow in Saudi Arabia!
homosexuality is the cancer of modern times. It permeates our ancient Arab society. Their existence is obvious. It requires coordinated efforts to counter their roots and to eradicate it. We must not bury our heads in the sand like the ostrich. We can not escape us in the homes and hope for better times.
Homosexuality throbs with violence to the doors of Saudi society - giving notice sociological reports and studies. The causes are many. They stress the exposure youth against sexual abuse. Sinful places to stay and look rampant satellite channels accompanied by only weak control by the parents. The alarm bells should be ringing violently. Resistance is required of us before it's too late.
Ongoing effort
The tireless efforts in the resistance against the phenomenon of homosexuality in the Saudi society are serious and lasting. She has made the Innnenministerium the imputed Research Centre for crimes against having a first field study on homosexuality in Saudi Arabia in late 2003. She had the goal of the central causes and supporting Factors of homosexuality in society is important to reveal, to remedy the situation. These efforts were accompanied by invitations to writers and experts to discuss this subject, from its creation to its treatment. Even the writer Thamir as-Sichan called in a to his articles in the newspaper "Al-Hayya" to a discussion about homosexuality.
In the same context, the sociology professor Dr. Yussuf Abdallah warned in a working paper to a charity of the Saudi Society for feminist renewal on 04.03.2006 organized symposium from sexual harassment in the milieu of pubescent girls and boys. He founded this warning with a statistics of the Ministry of Education and Education, which proposes that, in males, customs violations by 19 percent, the second most common offense for theft. The same statistics show that lesbian relationships on girls' schools in 46 percent of cases in which girls were convicted, the reason was.
Sexual Revolution
Dr. Nura ash-Sharim, a psychologist at the Faculty of Education at the King Saud University, told islamonline.net: the world is experiencing today a sexual revolution that ignores all borders. This situation, which brought us to this topic to address at this time, requires a stop, think and care in order to ensure that our children receive an education and rightly guided Islamic sex education. It would be our worthy to organize the sex drive so that it operates according to the commandments, without deviating from it.
Nura ash-Sharim referred in this context to the study "abuse of children and young people in the Saudi society" by Dr. Ali al-Zahrani, who teaches at the same university. Then were approximately 22.7 percent of children are sexual abuse and 62.1 percent refused to name the person they have abused. She stated that she did a research study performed, they completed their move down to a hundred girls 23rd She found that in 75 percent of the abuse perpetrators were strangers, acquaintances and in 15 percent to 10 percent relative.
Dr. ash-Sharim points out that the bad mental side effects of sexual abuse, the tendency to homosexuality belong. The rape of children possibly new releases in the gay community, which contributes to a worsening of the phenomenon. This means that the victims of today will be the gays of tomorrow.
reasons for the spread
The reasons for the spread of homosexuality the journalist of Al-Hayya, "explains Professor islamonline.net Thamir as-Sichan, compared with the following:.." General said that homosexuality was hereditary Second, they say, it was a matter of education Third, they say, there are links with the conviction of gays by the logic, only his fellow males could his feelings and desires to understand. Fourth, it is said that lying problem in the desire of gays to attract attention, to discuss something difficult, and the like. This is known as a fifth point, which is a little different from the other. It is important that the sexually abused refuge in homosexuality in my opinion, a the four previously mentioned factors apply to the abuse, so he becomes a gay man. The abuse we can not regard as the main reason for the problem. As-Sichan points out that most cases of homosexuality in the Kingdom on the first four reasons are due.
As-Sichan expresses that he rejects the view according to homosexuality in the Gulf societies because of the absence of dealing with the opposite sex increasing. He points out that those countries have the highest proportion of gay men, in which what is offered with regard to the gender confusion with a will "do what you like" attitude to transgress. The leave homosexuality increase.
As-Sichan warns that new media is increasingly treated homosexuality as a fad, and he points out that the gays sooner had feared before the revelation of his inclination. He had to be afraid of the authority of the society. That is, the company approved at that time no fine clothes for Männnern and no rough for women, and so there was little gay and less accumulation of gays. Today we can for the fashion, no longer distinguish between a gay and a fashionably dressed.
Social change
contrast, said Dr. Salih bin Ramih ar-Ramih, Professor of sociology at King Saud University, across IslamOnline that the Islamic society - whether God's praise - reject such phenomena and fight. Islam - and thus the company - Form an insurmountable wall and enables the control of such phenomena.
He adds, if we follow the evolution of our society, we find that earlier in which phase before the jump of the Saudi Arabian kingdom ever did not know the Saudi society a case only of homosexuality, in whatever form, whether the practices of men with each other (gay men), women with each other (lesbians) or involved child sexual abuse. This was because the life of simplicity, love and tribal cohesion was marked. The company was in all her classes and denominations a producing company.
In the period after the jump there occurred a series of social, economic, cultural and political changes that affected the society in general and the Saudi family in particular. Despite the many positive things that took the leap with him, there are also a number of problems and negative phenomena that have emerged through this step, the civilized way of life and the violent change in society. Among the most serious problems in the Saudi society have emerged, one of the homosexuality and the abuse and rape of children.
Where's the family?
The factors and causes for the existence of these problems are varied, says al-Ramih. Among the most important:
- The insufficient control by the family. The family is no longer responsible for supervision and control of children and no longer care about their problems, as was still in the phase before the jump of the case. The family began to neglect their duty of supervision on the grounds that one must take care of the living and the everyday problems had increased.
- the domestic workers who have contributed greatly to the change of form and composition of the Saudi family. By the Saudi family left the maid, came to her a number of roles, tasks and responsibilities are lost, they held before. The family began to neglect their children. That was mainly bathing, sleeping and changing clothes, all of which characterizes a child very much.
- the contact with the child domestic workers leaving the child a lot of habits, behaviors and social and cultural values assume that the values, habits and traditions of Saudi society contrary. Without doubt, play and contact with the handling of domestic workers a significant and dangerous role in the spread of sexual abuse and homosexuality.
- the most serious causes that lead to homosexuality is also the contact of children with the neighborhood children whose culture and habits may differ from those of the family. Add to that the lack of parental control of children that parents listen to their children is not that they do not devote enough time and that the open exchange between parents and children no longer works. All these factors lead to an increase in such phenomena.
- The oldest child, the accompaniment, and the leads due to lack of parental control may then perhaps to her rape
culture of vice
also includes satellite television and the opening to the outside world as the main cause of homosexuality. The satellite television transported values, customs and traditions that differ from our noble social values. The children and adults are confronted with strange things that they did not before (ie spreading vicious culture). The mobile phone (Bluetooth) is considered one of the most modern communication devices, which much to the exchange of sexual Content contributed by young people, and that by mutual sex pictures and images of several same-sex positions - whether between men or between women - send (ie, spreading a culture of shamelessness and immorality).
Ar-Ramih points out that the major psychological and social impact is to be sought on the issue of homosexuality in a deficit original Community values and traditions. This goes hand in hand a normative deficit. In addition, get that change shape and character of the family will. That would an increase in the number of unmarried persons and the spread of homosexual offenses result in. It would be the spread of atrocities and pull [religious] prohibition and the increase in sexual crimes and the spread of alcohol and drug addiction to be. This will, generally considered to hinder the progress, development and production in society and lead to the backwardness of our original company.
awareness and prevention
Ar-Ramih calls on all leaders of the state and the representatives of all ministries (welfare, health, education, education, and citizen initiatives in the community) on to combat these phenomena and prevention. He urged the people aware of the causes and dangers and for clarification of the protection of our Muslim society from such evils. He points out that even the scientists who studied these and other immoral phenomena, bear responsibility. Their responsibility was in-depth scientific study of the phenomenon, its disposal and treatment methods at the individual, the family and in society as a whole.
As-Sichan believes the most effective treatment of this problem is given if the company is sincere in this phase with itself, recognize the existence of the problem and then openly discuss it. One must reach the gay and explore the causes of their change. The Experiment confirm that what is right for others, not necessarily for us would be right, especially on mental area.
