Is feminism and Islam both leftist oriented ideas? Pamela Geller thinks so.?

Yes I think multiculturalism is a bad thing.

Pamela Geller is a fruitcake who'll tell any lie if it grabs an audience or creates a soundbite -- an information whore. She's the latest in Fox News's string of women whose function is to look good while making up outrageous and untruthful stories. (Feminists may not think men are sex-obsessed idiots, but Fox News evidently does.)

Looking at that quote from Pamela Geller: Feminism is not a phony movement; it is not rooted in Marxism-Leninism; it represents women and always has; it does not have anything resembling a unified and universally supported dogma; it is in favor of multiculturalism; and itembraces or is in conflict with shifts in leftist thought as is appropriate for the pursuit of its own agendas. And the cherry on top of the sundae: referring to Islam as "the leftist ideology du jour" is either so nutty, or reveals such profound contempt for the idea that words have actual meanings that refer to the real world we all share, that it cannot be parsed for meaning.

(Actually, I can tell you how that last phrase works. Geller is using leftist, ideology, du jour, and Islam as all-purpose scare words devoid of any real meaning. The words in between them are just there to give the appearance of grammatical connection and integration.)

Bottom line? Listening to Pamela Geller causes information to disappear from your brain. Also, she will never date you, and she isn't even as pretty as Ann Coulter.

Pamela Geller doesn't represent me or how I conduct my life. I don't know if this quote is correct or out of context as most of these quotes are.

Is multiculturalism a bad thing? Only the bush people are of one culture now. So the point is moot. However people like groups, and the will continue to form groups.

Islamists and nazis were allied in the second world war. And they still are.

I don't think she's saying that Islam is leftist-oriented, just that a lot of leftists promote and/or embrace it. You don't need to be anti-feminist to be anti-socialist, or anything of that sort. Some feminists are libertarians.

In an article entitled 'exposing feminism and the new world order' Henry Makow insists feminism is a JEWISH conspiracy - and Geller is Jewish!

So many conspiracy theories, so little time.

Theres nothing phoney about equal rights for women. And religious nuttiness is right-wing, not leftist.

Back to school with you!

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

This word – equality – which many thinkers in both the east and the west advocate in various fields of life is a word which is based on deviation and a lack of understanding, especially when the speaker attributes this idea of equality to the Qur’aan and to Islam.

One of the things that people misunderstand is when they say that “Islam is the religion of equality”. What they should say is that Islam is the religion of justice.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

“Here we should note that there are some people who speak of equality instead of justice, and this is a mistake. We should not say equality, because equality implies no differentiation between the two. Because of this unjust call for equality, they started to ask, what is the difference between male and female?’ So they made males and females the same, and then the communists said, ‘What difference is there between ruler and subject? No one has any authority over anyone else, not even fathers and sons; the father has no authority over his son,’ and so on.

But if we say justice, which means giving each one that to which he or she is entitled, this misunderstanding no longer applies, and the word used is correct. Hence it does not say in the Qur’aan that Allaah enjoins equality, rather it says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, Allaah enjoins Al‑‘Adl (i.e. justice)”

[al-Nahl 16:90]

“and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice”

[al-Nisa’ 4:58]

Those who say that Islam is the religion of equality are lying against Islam. Rather Islam is the religion of justice which means treating equally those who are equal and differentiating between those who are different.

No one who knows the religion of Islam would say that it is the religion of equality. Rather what shows you that this principle is false is the fact that most of what is mentioned in the Qur’aan denies equality, as in the following verses:

‘Say: Are those who know equal to those who know not?”

[al-Zumar 39:9]

‘Say: Is the blind equal to the one who sees? Or darkness equal to light?’

[al-Ra’d 13:16]

‘Not equal among you are those who spent and fought before the conquering (of Makkah, with those among you who did so later’

[al-Hadeed 57:10]

‘Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allaah with their wealth and their live’

[al-Nisa’ 4:95]

Not one single letter in the Qur’aan enjoins equality, rather it enjoins justice. You will also find that the word justice is acceptable to people, for I feel that if I am better than this man in terms of knowledge, or wealth, or piety, or in doing good, I would not like for him to be equal to me.

Every man knows that he find it unacceptable if we say that the male is equal to the female.”

Sharh al-‘Aqeedah al-Waasitah, 1/180-181

Based on this, Islam does not regard men and women as equal in matters where regarding them as equal would result in injustice to one of them, because equality that is inappropriate is a severe form of injustice.

The Qur’aan commands women to wear clothes that are different from those worn by men, because of the differences in the ways each sex is tempted by the other. The temptation posed by men is less than the temptation posed by women, so the clothes that women should wear are different than the clothes that men wear. It makes no sense to tell women to expose the parts of the body that men are allowed to expose, because of the differences in the temptation posed by a woman’s body and a man’s body – as we shall explain.
