19 March 2013: Amina represents me
****
19 year old Tunisian Amina who posted a topless photo of herself bearing the slogan “my body belongs to me, and is not the source of anyone’s honour” has been threatened with death.
Islamist cleric Adel Almi, president of Al-Jamia Al-Li-Wassatia Tawia Wal-Islah, has called for Amina’s flogging and stoning to death saying Amina’s actions will bring misfortune by causing “epidemics and disasters” and “could be contagious and give ideas to other women…”
We, the undersigned, unequivocally defend Amina, and demand that her life and liberty be protected and that those who have threatened her be immediately prosecuted.
On 4 April 2013, we call for an International Day to Defend Amina.
Amina represents us all.
On the day and beyond, groups and individuals can join in by highlighting her case, posting topless photos of themselves and their activism on social media sites, signing a petition, Tweeting #Amina, writing letters in her defence, and more.
On 4 April, we will remind the Islamists and the world that the real epidemic and disaster that must be challenged is misogyny – Islamic or otherwise.

Why are these ‘moral’ men looking at naked pictures of women on the net?!
Her own family have ‘siezed’ her and put her in a phyciatric hospital. Amina’s mum, IF you helped to do this then you have betrayed not only womankind but your own flesh and blood too! (I hope to God you had nothing to do with this!)
The women of the west need to wake up and re embrace feminism and help all the other women around the world from this persecution and slavery. Increasing amount of gang rapes in India, beheading and stoning in Saudi Arabia, lashes and imprisonment in Tunisia. Baby girls aborted/abandoned/murdered, pre-pubescent girls married off, sold into prostitution/slavery, denied education, denied health care, freedom of movement, chioce of dress, choice of husband, just choice in general!! When is this barbaric treatment of half the human race going to stop? Amina is a brave woman, we need more like her!

Will it take someone like Amina to reawaken real feminism in the West? Where are the Hollywood celebrities now? Where are the university students? All I see are pampered entitled brats so consumed by the abortion question they can’t see anything else. Like Amina. How many western women would dare confront the Islamists at the risk of torture, floggings and stoning? How many Hollywood women have bared their breasts for money and adulation and will be sipping their champagne right this minute not knowing or caring about Amina. FREE AMINA.

Why, actually? Why do you hope her government will punish her? What harm has she caused to anyone else that would deserve punishment?
If you think that what she has done should be a crime, you’d better be able to come up with some darn good reasons, because as far as I can tell, she hasn’t caused any injury to anyone, stolen or destroyed anyone’s property, defrauded anyone, put anyone else’s life at risk, or any of the other victim-creating behaviours that we normally think of as crimes. Explain your rationale please.

I think the majority of true believers among Muslim men are, in fact, merely four and five year-old boys, little spoiled brats, trapped in the bodies of adult males.
A “whore” has little or no autonomy, whereas Amina has stepped forward and declared her independance.

How did the idea that “a man has no control of himself if he see the skin of a woman” ever get started? By men who want to blame everything on someone else! The idea that men have no self control is stupid and has led to this plight of hyper-masculinity in the world. It is time we have gender equality in all cultures in all parts of the globe!!! Stop blaming your lack of dick control on someone else!!! That makes you just a “dick!”

March 24, 2013 at 11:08 pm (UTC 1) Link to this comment
Arabo/muslim males often don’t have much self-control. Respect for women can only occur in socieities where women have both the power AND the authority to discipline their male offspring.
When I was a small boy, I touhed my mother’s breast in front of my two sisters and grandmother and said “titty”. The first three times my mother removed my hand and told me to stop.
When I did it a fourth time she took my hand, slapped it and told me how very, very disappointed she was with me.
For an hour or so afterwards she witheld her affection from me, and I can remember, even though I couldn’t have been more than 3 or 4, being on my best behavior and working like hell to regain that affection.
For the very first time in my life I felt sorry and ashammed for what I’d done.
With regards to respect for women and for women’s bodies, certain boundries had been established.
But in order to do that, women need a minimum of power and authority over their male children.

This is a very real example of misogyny, unlike the juvenile tirade made by our current P.M. here in Australia which was posted on youtube and had so many hits. Her expose was nothing more than a political stunt against her opponent who is most definitely NOT a misogynist as she would like people to believe.
HOWEVER, this young woman is truly a victim of misogyny which is too culturally embedded in so many countries and is unacceptable fundamentally and certainly in the 21st century.
The fact that she may be flogged or put to death for such a benign act is reprehensible and totally indefensible. How dare her family have commit her to an institution for this? How primitive and most definitely does not demonstrate an act or response by “educated and open-minded” people, as her mother claims their family is.

Good on you Amina and good on all you journalists who are highlighting her plight. If I were a woman I would follow Amina’s example and if I were a journalist I would regularly write articles to expose the injustices woman face around the world. Since I’m a male I’ll support by spreading the message and by buying the publications that expose those prejudices. I’m just so fed up with all the barbaric men around the world who treat woman as second class citizens. It is the men who are the intellectually inferior sex and this needs to be shown in a peaceful way. Well done and good luck

It is a clash of two opposing paradigms. The people who live in and abide by the society of fundamentalist sharia law cannot and never will see or understand anything different from … retribution to those who transgress that sharia law. Nothing more to say really other than nothing less than a monumental ground swell of people (read people power) to change this situation.
I support Amina and wish her every chance to survive unscathed but I fear she played her trump card and is now merely a passenger and that the only hope for the cause is for other people from her country to step in and take up the mantle.

Arab Muslim society is so inherently backward that no amount of aid, education or democracy can pull this culture from the dark age. Even Arab Muslim communities in the West are unable to adopt modern humane values when living in the home of the Enlightenment. Even modern Turkey, founded by a Freemason, can’t produce a culture free of honour killings and labeling Western women whores.
I admire ‘Amina’s courage but the only realistic hope for Arab women wishing to flaunt an independent mind or body is to partake in the brain drain that always moves West, not East.

Yours is a very extreme comment @Rosie. So sad that such issues have to become so polarised. SOME men try to control women but not all. For example extremist Muslim men do and are fundamentally afraid of women but certainly not ALL Muslim men. However, it really isn’t a war between women and men. That is such a simplistic view; to try to demonise all men. As a mature woman I lament this resurgence with a vengeance of women’s rights. It really does the ‘sisterhood’ no good. And your reaction is no less extreme than that of the men you are accusing of being so sexist. Perhaps you are very young with a lot of misplaced anger and you think this is the place to put it. You are wrong.

I don’t find Rosie’s post so divisive, as you seem to find it, Becky. What is true is that men are steeped in sexism and male domination. Every man is a good person and every man is an agent of sexism. Men are also clearly affected by male domination; they experience it themselves and they act out in this way also. I don’t think of it as an us vs. them battle or women vs. men. I think of it more as all of us (women and men) vs. sexism/male domination. When women unite and say NO to sexism, things will change. When we all stand up together (whatever gender we have) and say NO to male domination, it will be a beautiful thing…

Becky,
I’m not a young woman hurt by a few men. I am 58 years old and have seen a lot of systemic injustices of men against women. Are you forgetting pornography? The inequality of pay checks for the same work? Domestic violence? Prostitution? Deadbeat dads? Yes, there are exceptions. And there are women who do these hurtful things too. But most of these horrible disrespectful acts are done by and because of men.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a man hater. I’m married to the best man I ever met. But the fact remains that men are born with a sense of entitlement and society encourages it.

I am curious, Rosie, as to what you mean by a “deadbeat Dad”. I would really like to know. But of course I am not forgetting pornography or prostitution or any of the other things you mentioned. Which by the way many men reject also find appalling. The worst crime, and not in your list, is pedophilia and I suppose that on balance that is largely perpetrated by men.
In all cultures we raise boys differently from girls and there are different expectations on them. Much has changed in western society but sometimes these old expectations get twisted and develop into extreme behaviour. However, we are all a product of acculturation, both males and females. Some of that has been wrong but it has ever been thus.
However, the important thing is to be able to recognise the problems created and address them. Sadly, extreme Muslim views (which are not ALL Muslims’ views) seem incapable of applying any enlightened thinking on any such problem and simply hark back to the views of some unenlightened prophet from so long ago. No room at all for change or improvement. And so it goes.

It is only a weak and/or inferior man or organization who would behave towards a female that way – not a strong and proud one!
Amina’s stance deserves to be respected, as an expression of a person’s rightful wish and demand for personal and others’ deserved freedom and entitlement, not least as a consequence of the United Nations’ (Universal Declaration of) Human Rights.

Amina has the courage to stand upfor her principles and should be supported by all of us who believe in freedom and gender equality.
It seems that in Islamic countries, all females are victims. To be victims there must be a crime or injustice. Islam is therefore a crime.

It saddens me to think that this young lady could die simply because of the male ego and corruption of religious thought, surely the Prophet did not have this in mind. It’s not the faith that is at fault but the morons who interpret it to suit their own ends.. And to the people who condone this treatment of this young lady, here’s a thought strap a bomb to your body go out in to the desert away from people and do the world a favour

This is nothing more than the continued oppression of women by men. What are these men afraid of? Do they think that they have nothing at all of value to women so they have to FORCE women into submission? A true man loves and respects women. Tunisian men (and women) need to speak up or be thought of as nothing more than pigs.

lets see now, isnt this really all about the Islamic Koranic laws, huh, and these writers seem to want to lay most of the blame and guilt on the western system, or to lay blame on western aystems as if they are responsable for the behaviour of Islamic misogeny. lets keep Islamic misogyny where it belongs – in Islamic country’s, IF WE ARE GOING TO ATTACK THE WESTERN SYSTEM LETS DO IT AS A SPECIFIC STRUGGLE.

But that is the current thinking, Rod, around the world. There is a burgeoning undercurrent/left wing mindset which underpins so much and the common thread is that the west is to blame for everything that is wrong in the world and they must pay, literally and figuratively. It expresses itself in all sorts of ways, large and small, and informs political party thought and governments and organisations, such as the UN. But how the west could possibly be responsible for an extreme retro attitude of males against women in the mindsets of some Muslim sects/countries beggars belief.

Do I understand, therefore, Raja, that you support the abuse and discrimination against women especially in its most extreme forms as seen in strict Muslim countries? Where is the humanity in the minds of those people who would, say, recommend stoning or even death for the really very benign act of this young woman?
Finally, you seem to deny the fact that only a very extreme response to an extreme attitude can make any impact or difference. That is how it is in human affairs.

May I just clarify my former comment regarding “extreme responses” such as how Amina’s showing her breasts is viewed by some.
In commenting that way I was IN NO WAY condoning or suggesting that extreme VIOLENCE is ever justified or warranted. I was viewing the baring of human flesh, such as in this case, rather like the over use of the same offensive 4 letter word. If such a word is over-used in the same conversation or, say, in a movie it loses impact. That is the ‘extremeness’ to which I was referring. So showing completely naked flesh can demonstrate to those who seem to have a phobia about the exposure of human flesh as something evil and taboo, even if not a private part, is really nothing to fear. Nor is it sinful especially in the wider context. Get real! It is just flesh of which we are all made.
But never is violence an appropriate response.
