Womens Rights - Third World Style

.
This article is going to discuss a rather disturbing subject. When writing it I did consider that it could upset many people and even be construed as inciting racial hatred, because many of the facts I am about to describe are offensive to our basic Christian values. But then I thought we must face up to reality and look closely at who these third world people are who are coming in such large numbers to live in this country. What are their values and customs? What sort of societies have they created in their own countries?

Now the philosophy of multiculturalism states simply that all human cultures - the way of life, laws, values, customs and traditions, are equally valid throughout the world, from Europe to Africa, Asia to South America. It states that we, the white people of the Western world, have no right to claim that our culture is any better than any other culture - we are different but equal.

Well I say that there is one aspect of the modern world which shows that Western society is without a shadow of a doubt far superior to these third world societies – and by a clear mile. This is in the area of women’s rights and the treatment of the half of the human race that is female. I believe that by looking at this subject we get an insight into the minds of the third world immigrant, what type of people they are, and what effect their presence will have on our own society in Britain.

It may come as a surprise to the more naïve Western people amongst us but in much of the third world women are treated absolutely appallingly. They are seen, particularly in Muslim countries, but also in most other African, Asian, and South America countries, as having very low status, almost sub-human, with no rights or protection under the law whatsoever. Common practices include the infanticide of female babies, dowry murders, horrendous domestic violence, sex trafficking, ‘honour’ killings, female circumcision, and forced marriages. These are all practices which are now, in the 21st century, frequently taking place in the third world. In these countries women generally receive very little protection from the law, and also do not have the property and inheritance rights considered normal in our society.

But some people might object and say that it is poverty that is causing these people to act in this way. Well in the past many people in this country lived in desperate poverty but they didn’t murder their female babies, or circumcise their daughters. And we know that when these foreign people come to this country to live and set up their large communities amongst us, they continue with their barbaric practices – because our Government encourages them to.

I will just discuss a few of the barbaric practices that are common in the third world, and that are now being introduced to Britain by immigration. Although obviously not every third world person is guilty of these crimes, it is just indicative of the general contempt for the female sex, and disregard for their well-being, that these practices are allowed to continue unabated in their own countries.

1) Honour killings. As we know this is when a woman is murdered by her own family, her brothers, uncle, or even her own father, for her perceived immoral behaviour. This is supposed to restore ‘family honour’, although to my mind, and to any sane person, it would destroy it for ever. It happens in many countries throughout the world but especially in Muslim countries. Such immoral behaviour could take the form of starting a relationship with someone from another community, trying to arrange a divorce from a violent husband, wearing immodest clothing, even flirting with a man on the phone, and many women have been killed for ‘allowing’ themselves to be raped. It is a daily occurrence in countries like Pakistan and is semi approved of by the authorities, who turn a blind eye. It is estimated that worldwide there are 13 honour killings every day. And thanks to immigration it now happens in this country. Official figures say there were 12 honour killings last year in Britain, but it is highly likely that there were many more. Many women will be taken back to India or Pakistan or wherever to be killed. When it happens in this country in most cases the police cannot usually secure a conviction because the family will stick together and give the police no leads or evidence. She had an accident or committed suicide they will say - but the police know what really happened to her.

2) Female circumcision. This is common in Africa and also in Muslim countries. In some countries around 80% of females have this operation. Worldwide there are hundreds of millions of women who have had this operation and approximately two million girls per year are subjected to it. The operation is usually performed in unhygienic conditions causing infections and some girls die from shock and blood loss. And now it is becoming common in Britain thanks to the influx of large numbers of Africans and Asians. It is actually illegal in this country under an act passed in 1985 but no one has ever been convicted of it.

3) Dowry deaths. This is prevalent in India and other Asian countries where a husband who is dissatisfied with the size of the dowry from his bride’s parents will murder her. Often this takes the form of throwing petrol on her and burning her alive, a practice so common in India that it’s been given the epithet ‘burning bride’. Last year there were a reported 6200 dowry murders in India, but it is usually reported as an accident or suicide. Very rarely are the men brought to justice.

4) Acid attacks. This is a particularly disgusting practice which is now becoming widespread in African and Asian countries. When a man is spurned by a woman for sex he will take acid from a car battery and concentrate it by boiling. He then throws it in her face causing terrible burns and disfigurement, and consigning her to a life of misery. How long before this practice starts occurring in Britain?

5) Domestic violence. Under Islamic Sharia law it is actually perfectly LEGAL and ACCEPTABLE for a husband to beat his wife for the slightest misdemeanour. This can be for such minor offences as serving dinner five minutes late, or failing to clean the house to his satisfaction. Women are regarded as a man’s property and what he does to her is regarded as no-one else’s business; but she can’t leave him, call the police or go to a woman’s refuge. It is a sad fact that 1 in 30 Asian women actually commit suicide?

Many examples of this abuse are now happening in foreign communities in Britain, and the perpetrators are often getting away with it. The do-gooders amongst us can put their heads in the sand and pretend that it’s not true and that we’re lying, but they are simply deluded and wrong. I say that we cannot do anything about these horrendous practices taking place in far off lands but we should not allow these people to come to this country and continue doing what they do.

In this country we have a tradition of according a woman the same rights as a man. She has the right to life and the protection of the law – the right to marry the partner of her choice and be free from the threat of physical or mental violence. We should not sacrifice these hard won rights by allowing the third world to establish their inhuman practices in this country. The only sure way we can do this is by keeping these people out of our country. If this is an example of their cultural values, their mentality, and what kind of people they are then we don’t want them here.

Yet despite these terrible abuses of women’s rights in third world cultures there are in this country many deluded women who are in favour of immigration and multiculturalism. Government propaganda has clearly worked very well on them.
