BBC'ning yaqinda chiqqan hujjatli filmida, islom va ayollar haqida, hijob kiygan bir yosh musulmon ayoldan hijob zulmning bir shakli emasmi, deb so'rashdi.34 Uning javobi juda dahshatli edi.

In a recent BBC documentary about Islam and women, a young Muslim woman (who wears hijab) was asked whether hijab is a form of oppression.34 Her response was absolutely chilling:

“Agar kimdir menga hijob kiyishni buyursa, bu odam meni hijobni yechishga majbur qilsa, men hijobimni yechib tashlayman. Agar meni hijob kiyishga majburlasangiz, men uni yechib tashlayman. Men buni muhabbat bilan kiyaman, bu mening o‘zligim, men sevadigan narsa, va hatto buni xudoyim menga buyurgani uchun qilaman, deb ham aytmayman. Xudoyim menga buyurgan har bir narsada U menga tanlash imkonini beradi; men buni xohlaganim uchun va uni sevganim uchun qilaman. Bu mening dinimning bir qismi va men buni o‘zimniki deb bilaman.” Qo‘rqinchlisi shundaki, ko‘plab yosh musulmonlar bunday bayonot nega shunchalik ma’qul emasligini tushunmaydi. Ular bunday so‘zlarda ko‘zda tutilgan kufrni tan olmaydi. Bu liberalizmning odamlar buni sezmasdan ularga ta’sir qiladigan yashirin, emiruvchi kuchidir. Xudo biror narsani buyursa-yu, “Men uni qilmayman”, deb qanday o‘ylash mumkin? Agar inson mafkuralashtirilgan bo‘lsa, bu tushunarli bo‘lishi mumkin. Agar kimdir biror narsani qilishga majburlansa, bu uning “avtonomiyasini” kamaytiradi. Bu uning “erkin tanlash” qobiliyatini olib qo‘yadi. Erkinlik va ozodlikni shu tarzda kamaytiradigan har qanday narsa yomondir. Tanlash huquqini olish — bu sizning o‘zligingizni, kim ekanligingizni olib qo‘yish demakdir. “Bundan yomonroq nima bo‘lishi mumkin?” deb so‘raydi zamonaviy, ijtimoiy adolat va identifikatsiya siyosati bilan singdirilgan yosh musulmon, bu fikrlarni musulmonlar ham, musulmon bo‘lmaganlar ham targ‘ib qiladi.

“For someone to tell me I have to wear the hijab, if someone tells me to do that, I’m taking my hijab off. If you’re going to force me to wear the hijab, I’m taking it off. I wear this out of love, this is my identity, this is something that I love and I wouldn’t even say that I do it because my God tells me to do it. Everything that my God tells me to do, He gives me a choice, I’m doing it because [I] want to do it and I love it. It’s part of my religion and I own it.” The scary thing is, many younger Muslims will not understand why this is so objectionable. They will not recognize the kufr implied in a statement like this. This is the subtle corrosive power of liberalism that deeply affects people without them even realizing it. How could you think, “If God tells me to do something, I won’t do it”? Well, it makes sense if you have been indoctrinated. If you are forced to do something, then that takes away from your “autonomy.” It takes away from your ability to “freely choose.” And anything that reduces your freedom and liberty in this way is evil. To take away your ability to choose is to take away from your identity, from who you are. “And what could be worse than that?” asks the young Muslim who is steeped in the social-justice-warrior infused identity politics of the age, promoted by Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Tushunmovchilik shu yerda.

The sticking point is here:

Lekin Xudo bizga ba'zi ishlarni qilishni buyurmaydimi va ba'zi ishlardan qaytarmaydimi? Va Xudoga bo'ysunmaslik va itoat qilmaslik uchun og'ir oqibatlar yo'qmi? Aynan shu narsa majburlash va zo'rlashdir! Ana shu fikr yo'nalishi bilan liberalizm ta'siridagi musulmonlar ikki yo'ldan birini tanlashga majbur bo'lishadi. Birinchi variant: Xudo yovuzdir (va na'uzu billah), yoki ikkinchi variant: Xudo yovuz emas, lekin Xudo bizga hech narsani buyurmaydi va hech narsadan qaytarmaydi ham. Ikkala variant ham kufrdir.

But doesn’t God command us to do certain things and prohibit us from other things? And aren’t there steep consequences for not submitting and obeying to God? This is precisely what force and coercion are! It is through this line of reasoning that those Muslims affected by liberalism face two options. Option 1: God is evil (wa na`udhu billah) or, Option 2: God is not evil, but God doesn’t command us or prohibit us in anything either. Both options are kufr.

Bu dilemmadan chiqishning yo‘li liberalizmni tanqid qilish va erkinlik, avtonomiya, majburlash kabi tushunchalarni dekonstruksiya qilishdan iborat.

The way out of this dilemma is to critique liberalism and to deconstruct concepts like freedom, autonomy, coercion, etc.
