What happened to Ms Tolouee is part and parcel of what happens to thousands of other women in Islamic countries, who are subject to degrading treatment, homicide, in the name of honour, and genital mutilation. These acts may happen elsewhere within other cultures, but the perpetrators in civilised societies are regarded as criminals and investigation follows. We do not hear of any investigations in the Islamic countries regarding abuse of power and violations against women. The Islamic regime of Iran has been known for using sexual abuse as a means of interrogation, yet no public enquiry has been conducted to investigate. The predicament of women should be expected as Islam allows no more than an inferior position for women.[1] More degradingly, Islam allows sexual acts with the womenfolk of conquered people. Ironically, “Allah the merciful” who seems to be obsessed with Mohammed’s sexuality, tells Mohammed that prisoners of war are lawful for him.[2] So all what a criminal needs in order to excuse sexual violation is to regard a helpless woman as non-Muslim. The fact that the Sunnis and Shiites can so easily deny that the other side being Muslims makes it very likely that Ms Tolouee was told that she is not Muslim. This is not in fact a one off incidence. Talaban committed the same acts against Hazara women. Moqtada Sadre’s thugs were doing the same in Southern Iraq. Iraqi army and Arab militia during Saddam did the same in South Kurdistan. Some Kurdish women were even sold to Egypt and Sudan. The same thing is still happening in Darfur.

One should have no illusion that women’s position in Islam is any better than sex objects, and vessels of recreation, although, at best, a private sex object which explains why they have to be hidden and veiled.[3]

Muslim apologists may deny this argument, but the verses in the endnotes below make that clear.[4] The situation of Muslims and Islam is also due to the fact that there is no concept of human rights in Islam. People are not allowed to doubt Islam, or convert away from Islam (read what the “revered” Muslim scholar, who was invited by Ken Livingston, Dr Yusuf Al-Qaradawi has to say). When violence is allowed the violent cunning psychopath individuals or groups prevail. This pattern is repeated in the history of Islam, communism where Stalin could prevail over Trotsky and Saddam over his other rivals who were to some degree less criminally-minded than himself.

Ms Tolouee’s ordeal is also a part of same pattern that the tribes and ethnicities have experienced and will experience who are subjected to Islam. For hundreds of years , the Kurds, their weakness stemming from the fact that their land-locked terrain does not allow massive concentration of population with concentration of power, where even a small band of men can defy the authorities, have been subjected to unending campaigns to destroy their autonomous political structure.

The evolutionary political theory suggests that the application of all ideologies can result in atrocities being committed. Simply, Islam and other ideologies have no built-in measures to ensure that the strong will not oppress and even annihilate the weak. Thus it is natural that the weak nation and the weak gender and even the weak section of society fall victim so easily to the strong and the manipulative.[5] However, Islam is particularly uncivilised. What else can we extrapolate from a religion that disdains art, and a religion whose prophet demands that the fifth of the spoils should be his, and that he allowed sex with female prisoners of war.[6] Would not disdaining arts breed a vulgar nation and would not such incentive fuel an army of thugs and criminals? Indeed, Muslims and Mohammed before other Islamic leaders, as historians know, used mercenaries.   

Now while I hope that Ms Tolouee finds strengths in herself to endure the trauma of her ordeal. She should only think that she has not been disgraced at all. She is a victim like all Kurds, whether Muslims or not. Indeed, she is a victim like all humanity, who are suffering or will be suffering because of this religion, and particularly because of some selfish interests of sociopaths like Ahmedinijad or Khomeini, and many other brainwashed individuals, trying to impose this uncivilised religion upon us. Such acts, which does not draw any protest at all from Muslims, should be a call for all people who care about morality and human decency to abandon this religion.
