It’ s the
most polite and religiously grounded
analogy I can use, to describe those
whose who have propagated the
kidnapping, abuse, starvation and rape
of little boys for mere sport, without
being censored.
I am taking a rughksa (license ) this
Ramadan to indulge in feelings that are
not consistent with the spirit of this
holy month, feelings of rage and anger,
feelings which have obliged me to vent
in frustration and to invent
justifications for the foul language
which has defiled my fasting breath. And
because, for many of us, external
actions seldom represent of our more
noble internal motivations, I am taking
the license to motivate you to do the
same and follow my lead in the interest
of awakening your souls to a calling
higher then maintaining your pious and
restrained fasting temperament. I am
inviting you to get mad, to get really
mad, because patience in the face of an
egregious injustice, even during this
blessed month, cannot be a virtue.
This Ramadan while my despair has
descended into anger, my foul mouth has
ascended into these words, words that
have attached me to my lap top instead
of my prayer rug. While I have not been
motivated towards piety this month, I
have at least been inspired to exercise
a kind of honesty devoid of political
correctness. And In my hunger and
frustration I am now compelled to call a
spade a spade and to label a royal
sheikh a shaytan (devil). It’ s the most
polite and religiously grounded analogy
I can use, to describe those whose who
have propagated the kidnapping , abuse,
starvation and rape of little boys for
mere sport, without being censored.
Although the enslavement of these boys
is predominantly in the Arab world, you
will NOT be relieved to know that I have
not found any documented cases of the
enslavement of a single Arab boy. It
seems that only south Asians and
Africans, who are evidently dispensable
variations of human life, are being
traffic kited into slavery. Political
correctness is demanding I absolve the
Arab peoples, myself included, by saying
that the majority of us are NOT,
ethnocentric, xenophobic members of the
great tribe of the Saudi royal family,
whose leaders and sheiks have for the
last thirty some years been trafficking
young boys as old as one and a half to
work as camel jockeys in the camel
racing business. A sport where the
lighter the jockey, the faster the camel
can race. Consequently the younger and
more emaciated the child slave, the
better he can serve his master. These
masters are the Arab sheikhs of the Gulf
states and have become emissaries of the
shaytan to the state -- which is our
ummah! |
