El Islam es paz (y feminismo radical)

Recuerdan el post sobre las dos hermanas condenadas a morir lapidadas por adulterio? Evidentemente el caso no ha pasado desapercibido en casi ningún sitio (excepto en los medios españoles, que no se ocupan -lógicamente, je- de lo «cotidiano») y las acciones de protesta no se han hecho esperar:

Their crime is non-existent, their trials a miscarriage of justice, and their sentencing a barbarity.

All those who believe in human rights and human dignity should protest against this sentence.

We call upon the Islamic Republic of Iran to drop all prosecution of Zohreh and Azar, and to end punishment by stoning.

We call upon the Islamic Republic of Iran to end the Sharia-inspired and institutionalized discrimination against women that results in their being treated as chattels of men.

We call upon the Islamic Republic of Iran to affirm the equality of dignity of women with men and the equality of rights of all people, women with men, non-Muslims with Muslims, and to implement these principles in their laws.

We call upon the United Nations and human rights organizations to redouble their pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran until it ends its war on the rights of women and human rights in general.

Pero siempre hay quien hace oídos sordos a estos llamamientos:

We call upon feminists, including the signers of the statement drafted by The Nation’s Katha Pollitt, to join us in protesting this outrage. We continue to be stunned but not surprised by the silence of these feminists who have questioned the authenticity of our concern for Muslim women oppressed by the laws of Islam. The feminists who recently complained that the media has falsely represented them as indifferent to the plight of Muslim women have so far been conspicuously indifferent to the plight of Zohreh and Azar. We call upon these feminists in particular to join us in protesting the violence already done to Zohreh and Azar and the death penalty they face. The Islamic Republic of Iran is an oppressor of women. So far American feminists have failed to support their Muslim sisters. We call on them to join us in doing so now.

Y las de casa? No hay prevista una mani? Un comunicado? Una entrega de premios de cine? Una sentada de apoyo? Un «vamos a quemar las mezquitas del país»?

Si conseguimos actuar, pensar, sentir y querer ser quien soñamos ser habremos dado el primer paso de nuestra personal “guerra de autodeterminación”. Por esto es importante ser uno mismo quien cuide y atienda las propias necesidades. No limitarse a sentir los beneficios de la libertad, sino llenar los días de gestos que nos permitan experimentarla con otras personas.

  1. [modo ironico on]Pero si yo pensaba que las manis modernas las convocan los obispos… Ya no se lleva eso de las manis entre las generaciones alternativas.[modo ironico off]

  2. No te preocupes, estarán ocupados montando la próxima mani contra el PP o el próximo espectáculo lamentable en los Goya
