Viva nuesta sociedad occidental "decadente"

Publicado en Apuntes Urbanos

Cuando se critica a la sociedad occidental por su promiscuidad y "decadencia", ¿de qué están hablando? De cosas "terribles" que tenemos como la libertad sexual:

Extractos de un reportaje sobre una británica musulmana de 20 años saliendo del closet (en inglés, vía Mick Hartley, que lo levantó de la BBC.

"Estaba dañando el honor familiar. Estaba haciendo ver a la familia como una familia modernizada, occidentalizada, sucia".

Far from accepting the situation, Reviva's parents set up weekly meetings with eligible bachelors - and reacted with violence when their teenage daughter refused to play along.

"The worst thing they tried was burning my hand on the stove. Anything they could grab, they'd hit you until you'd sort of pass out.

"They always tried to hit me where it couldn't be seen, to hide the scars. Because don't forget I was meant to get married, so I was meant to have skin that isn't damaged."...

In a desperate attempt to force the situation, her father even signed her away in an Islamic marriage to a man in another country, who she had never met.

Reviva, who was still at school, used her impending exams as a delaying tactic to ensure the relationship was never consummated and it was ultimately annulled....

Far from ending, her ordeal intensified. The troubled teenager was taken to her grandmother's house in the Middle East where, as she recalls with a chilling lack of emotion, her parents tried persuading her to take her own life.

"I was damaging the family honour. I was making the family looking like a modernised, westernised, filthy family. So what they wanted to do is get rid of what is damaging the honour.

"They put you in a room on your own, I don't get any food, or any water, and I have to just sit there and wait to die or kill myself."

To aid the process, a gun, a knife, and pills were left in the room, along with a can of petrol and a box of matches. In her view, Reviva says it would have amounted to murder, not suicide, should she have decided to kill herself....

"They tried a few exorcisms" she deadpans, as if having evil spirits cast out was nothing more extreme than a routine dental check up.

This intense young woman briefly lightens up and punctures her solemn tale with a vivacious smile:

"It isn't like The Omen, it isn't as dramatic. You lay on a prayer mat, and somebody who is very religious, will read several verses from the Koran.

"It's very frightening because everyone is scared of being possessed by something, and then you think 'maybe I am?' because I have desires and thoughts that my parents think are wrong."...

She contacted the Albert Kennedy Trust - a charity which helps vulnerable LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender] teenagers seek refuge...

The Albert Kennedy Trust contacted the police and put them in touch with Reviva. Fearing for her safety, they gave her 15 minutes to gather her belongings and flee the family home.

Even then, there was a final dramatic twist as the young woman was taken hostage by her mother and brother, leaving the police to force their way in.

"They had to break the door and come in, because nobody was opening the door for them. And they went in, and my mother and my brother cornered me in the kitchen.

"My brother broke a glass to make sure I didn't leave the house alive. And they had to wrestle my mother and my brother, and… I was gone."

Al mismo tiempo, un idiota como el pastor Wayne Sapp sostiene que estar "a favor de los homosexuales" es parte de "los valores del islam":

¿Por qué un 25% de los estadounidenses cree que Obama es musulmán? Obama no sabe qué es. El no cree en nada. Si no es musulmán, los apoya bastante. El presidente estáa a favor del aborto, los homosexuales, la desmoralización del ejército: el prefiere los valores del islam. Obama es, sobre todo, anticristiano.

Fundamentalistas...
