Attacking feminists has become the number one tactic of Islamists

The news-medias have been busy discussing Turkey’s Erdogan’s latest remark directed against the feminists. What he said was very trivial and boring, in my opinion, but apparently it was offensive enough to get many folks on cyber world riled up.

Not many women identify themselves with the feminist movement, not even when they want to be appreciated for their contribution or be treated as equal. If a girl/woman wants an opportunity to go to school/college/university or work for wealth then she is not a feminist. It just makes a good sense for everyone (male and female) to be educated as much as possible and have good jobs for the betterment of the whole family and the society in general.

He is also wrong about women and motherhood. Most women do not reject motherhood. In fact more women accept motherhood than most men, otherwise how do you explain deadbeat husbands/fathers and children who are being raised by single mothers?

Generalizing that all women are bad is just as bad as generalizing that all men are bad. You’ll find good and bad among both genders, religious and also non-religious. Religions do not have a monopoly on morality. Religious people can be motivated to do great things or they can also be driven to commit heinous barbaric acts.

I don’t believe for a single sec that Erdogan’s latest remark is sudden or was not pre-planned. It came at a very convenient time, when people were just starting to pay attention about his luxurious grand palace. You would think that someone like Erdogan who is so very much in love with Islam would prefer a modest accommodation (you know what Islam says about your house: “Your hut in dunya/world will be replaced by grand palaces in akhira (after life) if you were virtuous”).

Not long ago we had a buddy of Erdogan who was attacking ‘slutty’ women for abandoning their husband and going with their boyfriend.
