10.11 西方统治穆斯林世界的战略
10.11 The Western Strategy For Dominating The Muslim World
据泄露的一份备忘录显示,特朗普政府曾收到国务院的建议,要在穆斯林占多数的世界推动一场“伊斯兰改革”,并让该地区的女性和年轻人站在台前推动这一进程。[……]将赋权女性作为伊斯兰影响地区信息传播的主要目标,将使美国能够为其国力保留一层道义成分,并维持其“解放”叙事。42
“A leaked memo shows that the Trump White House was advised by the State Department to promote an ‘Islamic Reformation’ and to use women and young people in the Muslim majority world to front it. [...] Focusing on female-empowerment as the primary information messaging goal within the Islamic-influenced world will allow the United States to maintain a moral component for American power and its liberation narrative.”42
这种以妇女和青年为重点来控制穆斯林世界、扭曲伊斯兰的做法并不新鲜。过去几百年间,它一直是殖民者的核心策略,不仅用于穆斯林世界,也用于美洲原住民、澳大利亚原住民、中国等地。
Focusing on women and youth to control the Muslim world and distort Islam is not new. It has always been the central strategy of colonizers, not only in the Muslim world, but also Native America, aboriginal Australia, China, etc. for the past few hundred years.
殖民者如克罗默勋爵等人特别强调一种说法:欧洲的价值观和欧洲男性来到这里是为了赋予穆斯林女性权力,而伊斯兰的价值观和穆斯林男性则把女性关押、虐待、奴役。他们主张伊斯兰法需要改革,以便容纳女性的权利。首先,穆斯林女性必须摘下希贾布,穿得像欧洲女性一样,才能算得上"自由"。其次,女性必须拒绝和抵制一切男性权威,无论是丈夫的、父亲的,还是男性学者的。此外,"野蛮"的一夫多妻制必须废除。穆斯林女性必须坚持离开"家务的苦役",投入职场,而这恰恰方便了殖民者,使她们成为廉价、可随时替换的劳动力。还有许多内容,在大量学术著作中已有细致的记录。这一多管齐下的攻击,最终目的在于摧毁穆斯林家庭。殖民者意在摧毁伊斯兰和乌玛那一核心、关键的制度,即团结稳固的穆斯林家庭,让妻子与丈夫对立,女儿与父亲对立,姐妹与兄弟对立,从而逐步而确定地完全掌控并支配穆斯林大众。这一直是他们的计划。
Colonizers like Lord Cromer and others specifically focused on the claim that European values and European men came to empower Muslim women while Islamic values and Muslim men imprisoned women, abused them, subjugated them. They argued that Islamic law needs reform in order to accommodate women’s rights. First and foremost, Muslim women must take off hijab and dress like European women to be “free.” Second, women have to refuse and resist any and all male authority, whether the husband’s’, the father’s, or the male scholar’s. Furthermore, the “barbaric” institution of polygyny must be abolished. Muslim women must insist on leaving “domestic drudgery” and joining the workforce, which conveniently meantbecoming cheap, dispensable laborers for the colonizers. And much more that has been meticulously documented in many academic works. The ultimate purpose of this multi-pronged attack was to destroy the Muslim family. The colonizers aimed to destroy that critical, central institution of Islam and the Ummah, which is the strong, cohesive Muslim family, pitting wives against husbands, daughters against fathers, sisters against brothers, to slowly but surely gain complete control of and authority over the Muslim masses. This has always been the plan.
这一切都是打着“女性赋权”的旗号进行的,过去几个世纪以来一直是这样包装推销的。正因如此,穆斯林女权主义者呼吁推翻传统、改革沙里亚,就等于在推进殖民者和帝国主义者的事业。也正因如此,一个人既是女权主义者,同时又主张“去殖民化”或“反帝国主义”,这在概念上是自相矛盾的。
All this was done under the mantra of “female empowerment.” That’s how it was marketed for the last couple of centuries. This is why Muslim feminists with their calls to upturn the tradition and reform the Sharia are simply advancing the work of colonizers and imperialists. This is why it is a contradiction in terms to be a feminist and “decolonial” or “anti-imperialist” at the same time.
我经常被批评者指责“痴迷”于女权主义及其活动。但这并非我的错:正如特朗普政府国务院的泄露备忘录所明确的那样,攻击伊斯兰教的主要途径正是妇女问题。我绝不会袖手旁观,任由敌人在没有阻碍的情况下侵蚀乌玛。我常常详细揭露美国穆斯林改革团体的恶劣活动,以及它们如何从美国政府获得数十万美元,用于推进“穆斯林女性赋权”。许多人不明白,美国政府为什么要向穆斯林小型组织投入如此巨额的资金。答案就在这里:这是按照帝国主义者的构想改革伊斯兰教的总体计划的一部分。这些改革派和女权组织不过是他们热心的代理人,正积极地试图渗透我们的清真寺、伊斯兰学校等场所。
I am often accused by detractors of being “obsessed” with feminism and its activism. Well, it’s not my fault that the main path of attack on Islam is through women’s issues, as good ol Trump’s State Department made clear in the leaked memo. I, for one, am not going to sit back and ignore this critical issue and let enemies feast on the Ummah unimpeded. I have often detailed the nefarious activities of Muslim reformist group in the US and how they are receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from the US government to advance “Muslim women’s empowerment.” Many wonder why the US government would pump so much money to help out small Muslim orginizations. Well, here is your answer. It is all part of the overarching plan to reform Islam according to the vision of imperialists. These reformist and feminist orgs are simply their enthusiastic agents aggressively trying to infiltrate our masjids, Islamic schools, etc.
