\u0026lt;/ p> \u0026lt;div id="infobox"> \u0026lt;h1> , Cultural Diversity \u0026lt;/ h1>
While decades of migration have meant that multiculturalism has long been a de facto element of western European society, multiculturalism as social policy has been heavily challenged. Read articles on the debate here. \u0026lt;a href="http://www.eurozine.com/comp/focalpoints/culturaldiv.html" linkindex="19"> [more] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ div> Greeley with his trimmed appears in front yards while Qutb as "so beautiful that one might think that one is in paradise". But the metaphysical Mittelwestler are homeless: "It's important for these people to gardening, they operate as a merchant his shop in order holds, and a factory owner his factory. It puts no sense of beauty or artistic taste behind this activity. It is the machinery of the organization and ordering, deprived of all spirituality and all the aesthetic pleasures "Another time he writes." Smile is everywhere and everywhere there are 'fun', and at every corner hugs and kisses . But never seen real satisfaction on the faces "
In a tone that does not remind of about the same time resulting observations of another unhappy intellectuals -. Adorno's Minima Moralia \u0026lt;i> \u0026lt;/ i> -, Characterized as impoverished America Qutb also uninhibited and joyless, materially rich and emotionally, and mentally disturbed flat, democratic, and yet conformist. Qutb, who was executed by Nasser in 1966, was one of the most influential intellectuals of the last century. After his return he became the chief ideologue of the Muslim Brotherhood. His work \u0026lt;i> Milestones \u0026lt;/ i> was the manifesto of Islamism, in which the fight against the West and its influence in the Islamic world is summoned. To date, it must read every young jihadist intellectual claim. And since Qutb's image of the West was shaped largely in Colorado, it is not just a quip speak of Al Qaeda's roots in Greeley. Qutb was a temporary visitor who stayed only six months and never again set foot on Western soil. The image of the decadent West's popularity today among those who have long been no more guests, and yet remain strangers.
Earlier this year, the results of a first comprehensive survey \u0026lt;i> Living Apart Together \u0026lt;/ i> became known among British Muslims. \u0026lt;sup> \u0026lt;A class = "footnote" href = "http:// www.eurozine.com/articles/article_2007-11-23-lau-de.html # footNoteNUM1 "name =" footNote1 " link index = "20"> [1] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ sup> They show a deep ambivalence toward the West, made great by moralizing cultural criticism air. The young Muslims feel to live in a decadent country that has forgotten its own values, calling its liberties too high a price fall and whose manners rapidly. Mind you, not the older people complain here, as usual, the decadence of the society in the light of an intact ancient times. These are the boys who curse the present.
Is this something new in the history of migration: the dream instead of the parents of advancement and recognition implement, apply the second and third generation of moral indignation of the majority, and cultivated feelings of superiority. Rather than take the battle for recognition with the established majority, they deprive the majority of their society, the recognition in the character's religious identities. How should the European societies deal with the fact that a significant - and growing - part of the immigrants and their descendants, they reject them as decadent and the salvation it looks to isolate herself from them? This is the British company hits the mark and leads to resentment against Europe over Muslim immigrants.
It is almost impossible to convey that the Muslim residents at the beginning of modernity was a positive figure occupied. At the beginning of the European cultural criticism, the self-relativization stood by the Muslim. \u0026lt;i> Montesquieu Persian Letters \u0026lt;/ i> establish a pattern of Western self-criticism. In the fictitious letters of all the Persian envoy is brought to light mercilessly, which is in the blind spot of the locals. The scourge of our Muslim obscurantism, the superficiality of our fashions, our immorality and false pomp of our institutions. The stranger is no longer here the Barbarian, the backwardness of our self-flattering size. It is a challenge to our reason. Montesquieu developed a rational-dialogical Vision of universal reason: his Persian study in Paris to look at the thinking and practices of their homeland with fresh eyes and to doubt the traditional. The Montesquieu's letters give rise to the rationality of the mutual relativization of East and West. Relativism, irony and self-alienation in the eyes of the others are from then on the foundations of Western Enlightenment.
But how should we read the Persian Letters, which present the modern sociologists us in the form of opinion polls among European Muslims? 86 percent of British Muslims between 16 and 24 say that religion is for them "the most important in life." 36 percent think apostasy should be with death will be punished. 37 percent want to send their children rather than in a purely Islamic in a mixed school. 37 percent would rather live under Sharia law than the common law. 74 per cent Definition field, that women wear the headscarf. 13 percent "admire organizations like Al Qaeda that are prepared to fight against the West." For British Muslims, religion has an increasing importance - and for the young generation, even more than the first two generations of immigrants. Young Muslims feel less in common with non-Muslims than their parents. They prefer a greater extent than the older separate Islamic schools and sharia law.
The new religiosity of the young is not necessarily a return to the traditional lifestyle of their parents. The religion of the boys is highly politicized. It has become a medium of identity politics. Where the elderly tried to assimilation, the boys deliberately accentuate their differences in public by strict Islamic dress. If one in three British Muslim in the survey, the law pertaining to the Shariah and it expresses, apostasy punishable by death, then that is a dramatic finding - especially for a country like Great Britain, which emphasizes traditional casual with questions of national identity bypasses. They were accustomed to the attractiveness the "Britishness" simply assumed. But now we see in front of a growing population that is turning away from both the lifestyle of their parents and from the mainstream and its norms.
The affirmation of Islamic identity - as the young people they know - is a religious garb coming act of dissidence. The emotional core of the new Islamic identity politics, as documented in the surveys is cultural critique of the decadent Western society. They claimed in the language of cultural relativism, the "right to cultural difference." Is this right only fought, without prejudice to the moral Absolutism of a superior culture, whose essence is to recover from the west. That the corrupt and corrupt West has no values for which it pays to enter, is the lowest common denominator of the statements collected by the British researchers to young Muslims.
There are signs that a representative study in Germany (why it is missing so far?) Would come to similar conclusions. The recent survey of a group of women wearing headscarves on behalf of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung points in that direction. The women showed, similar to British Muslims, with a detachment toward Germany. Few have ever contact with non-Muslims. The higher the educational level, the lower the bond to Germany, the stronger the belief that superior to Islam from Christianity and "the people of different faith before God is not" are. For the women wearing headscarves is their Islamic identity - the better educated, more so - a feature of their moral superiority over the non-Islamic environment. The higher the graduation, the more often support the women into a theocracy.
\u0026lt;i> this point of the investigation, the headscarf - unveiling of a symbol \u0026lt;/ i> has been played down deliberately. It does not fit into the picture you wanted to see the commentators like. The women wearing headscarves are represented as victims of a prejudiced society. The women write, the authors felt right "by the German company rejected and discriminated against". For this reason, because they understandably little interest in German citizenship. The German company had to adjust to the fact that this includes the headscarf women and enable them to "equal participation". With a "pure anti-attitude" nothing to be won. \u0026lt;sup> \u0026lt;A class = "footnote" href = "# http://www.eurozine.com/articles/article_2007-11-23-lau-de.html footNoteNUM2" name = "Footnote2" link index = "21"> [2] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ sup> In the media presented the study as a warning to leave the tiresome headscarf issue finally to rest in the sake of peace.
We see here an example of the refusal of parts of the Western public to accept no for an answer. The retreat in the parallel society is appended at the end of the receiving society. It is explained by a social discrimination that simply no other Choice. If the headscarf women turn away from the German company, the logic, this can only mean that they were forced to do so. That they consciously decide against integration and for "cultural difference" is simply not. The politically correct paternalism of the headscarf study is symptomatic of the integration debate: an act of self-exclusion is reinterpreted in a debt at the end of the majority society.
victimological The way of dealing with the Muslim criticism of the West is fatal, because it deprives the opposite end. It is basically narcissistic: It refers to the integration problem always failures the majority and refuses to Islamic culture criticism of the West and their desire to take difference seriously. The fierce debate over the headscarf ban has created a false choice: Those who oppose the ban, must explain the headscarf for safe, who is holding the scarf for a problematic signal must be for a ban. But you can very well be the basis of liberal principles against the headscarf ban, without at the same time to ignore the anti-liberal attitude or play down to the neo-Islamic identity politics is based.
The headscarf is only one element - albeit a particularly important - the symbol of Islamist politics. It develops a comprehensive Pop Culture with Islamic, Islamic mufti and Tele-fashionable jilbab (coat dress with pants), niqab (face veil), "Burkinis" (full-body swimsuit with built-head covering). On relevant websites requests for exemption from sex education classes and school trips are available for download. Islamic transactions are correct to recognize by Halal certificates. Internet fatwas offer from online-Sheikh in the Diaspora orientation. In short, in all areas of life, the cultural difference will be redrawn. Internally, the group heard from the law very quickly, the obligation to rise up in the smallest everyday issues into the scholars put their expertise available, such as the Muslim had to distance themselves from the unbelieving majority.
On the popular site Islam Online about the offer of famous sheikhs of the Arab world and the Diaspora to Fatwa-chat for all occasions. Can a Muslim to send his people into April, in order to make a joke? No. Imitation of the West. - Can a student contact a Christian girl by e-mail in order to convert them to Islam? No. Could lead to illicit contacts. - Can I eat bacon as a Muslim man who was prepared only from halal ingredients? No. Could make on real bacon taste. - Can Muslims from their loved ones for Valentine's Day Giving Gifts? No. Imitation of the West. - Can I use a lipstick that contains alcohol? Twice, no. - Can a Muslim as a taxi driver drop his passengers at a bar or a casino? Only if he loses the job otherwise. - Can a Muslim celebrate the Mother's Day? No. Imitation of the West.
A real Fatwaindustrie dedicated to the Islamization of modernity to the smallest detail and absurd. Most intimate things thoroughly declined. All of life can be divided neatly into permitted and forbidden. There is always an episode from the Life of the Prophet, can be derived from a solution. It leaves no questions, any ambivalence is disposed of completely. Who is the rigid rule of the sheikhs subjects will be rewarded with the good sense to separate itself clearly from the corrupt world of the infidels.
who sends his daughter to the school trip to the sex education or co-ed swimming lessons, so a stand against the moral reprehensibility of such events. The headscarf can be inside a symbol of orthodoxy, to the outside, it is practiced cultural criticism the West and its lax morals. Even so it is causing so great impetus to our debates. It not only oppresses women and girls. The sexualization of any contact between the sexes by the headscarf is also anti-male. By wrapping the girls and women to sexual objects, makes the intimacy of the man is injured. The veil is placed under the male gaze uncontrollable instinct. There is undoubtedly racism and xenophobia in our societies. However, it is foolish, the anger that accompanies the symbolic dispute over the Islamic segregation practices as "Islamophobia" to dismiss. The reservations of a majority of non-Muslims against this practice can be read as a sign that the Islamic Dekadenzkritik understood and its moral presumption is dismissed.
Western intellectuals to the Muslim cultural criticism very receptive, but it is partly or wholly in line with our self-criticism. The Persian Letters scheme can become a trap. Timothy Garton Ash commented on the alienation of British Muslims in \u0026lt;i> Guardian \u0026lt;/ i> (August 10, 2006): "One possible reason is that Britain now has one of the most libertarian societies in Europe. Particularly among young people in the cities, where most Muslims live, is more alcohol consumed and herumgevögelt, there are fewer intact families and prayed less than anywhere in the world. From the testimony of British Muslims is clear that part of their reaction to is against this secular, hedonistic, anomic lifestyle. If women are reduced to sex objects, young Muslim women say, then I cover myself better. They maintain such a thing as a conservative feminism. It is a socially conservative critique of some aspects of British society, which are particularly evident in her generation [...] The idea that these young British Muslims, in fact, put his finger on some things that are wrong in our modern progressive, liberal, secular society, the idea that reasonable persons could freely choose a different, outwardly more restricted way to live - this is in our everyday progressive discourses hardly before. But if it is. "
Breathtaking, as here, the" progressive discourse ", anomie, binge drinking, liberalism, sexism and hedonism are blended into a single large context of delusion. The following 11 September often asked question - why do they hate us? - Would finally be answered: because we are hated. If yodelled under Dirndl, growing under the Veil of resistance. The veil is a bulwark against Western sexism. Timothy Garton Ash takes the tone of the liberal self-criticism, the arguments of the Islamists. The propaganda with which the Ayatollah Khomeini, the introduction of the compulsory headscarf in Iran after the revolution justified, has found its way to Oxford.
The Iranian-born author Chahdorrt Djavann experienced the archetype of the "feminist" justification of the headscarf in the post-revolutionary Iran in his own body. In her furious treatise what Allah thinks about Europe? she recalls the post-revolutionary Iran, "'Muslim Women', was heard there, can only develop thanks to the Islamic laws and emancipate protect them from the Western decadence. Muslim women find their self-respect, their dignity, their beliefs, their honor, their identity and their desire to by making themselves the Islamic values their own emancipation and to reject the model that has only led to the decadence of Western women. The woman is reduced in Western societies from advertising and pornography to a commodity ... . Our veil protects us, it confirms our Muslim identity and our Islamic faith, "The Shah is defeated, the battle for the moral regeneration continues - as in the Islamic world, today in the West.
The Pakistani-British writer Sarfraz Manzoor asked at the beginning of the year in the Guardian a reversal of the integration debate: If the country wondered "what is a culture of respect expansively counter has, then you should consider what would have to learn from Islamic values. Muslim children have a better chance to grow up in intact families than those in single-parent households that are in the UK more often. "Manzoor is a young secular intellectual who loves pop culture, which the Islamists is a symbol of Western decadence. And yet he plays into the hands of identity politics, speaking of "Muslim values" speaks. The British company, he asks, should be integrated into this sphere of values rather than vice versa. The "home-grown terrorists" of the 7th July 2005 were "So well integrated into white society, that they can assume their worst characteristics. Integration did not save them, they created them. "This is an elegant way of processing claims. Islamist terror is declared a consequence of the decadence of the West. The terror is in this perspective, a desperate form of cultural criticism.
The cultural scientist Christina von Braun explains the importance of the headscarf in the same way. In a comprehensive study, they count against the veiling of women in Islam against the unveiling of women in the West. Veils and headscarves as symbols of patriarchal oppression and an 'Islamic Fundamentalism to interpret, '"serve nothing other than the concealment of Western violence against the woman:" If we so often the oppression of women in Islam and directed against male violence is discussed, it seems that the function have to divert from the women in the West directed against potential violence. "The violence, von Braun, who believes the West is exposed to the veiled Muslim woman, is opposed by the violence of the Western voyeuristic gaze. And the violence of female circumcision, which is condemned in the West at right as a human rights violation is up against the west cosmetic surgery and self-injury, the young women (and increasingly men) cause her body. "\u0026lt;sup> \u0026lt;a class =" footnote "href =" http://www.eurozine.com/articles/article_2007- 11-23-lau-en.html # footNoteNUM3 "name =" footNote3 "link index =" 22 "> [3] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ sup> The latter is of course much worse, because more subtle form of violence, for the women to fit themselves. Honest, old-fashioned repression in the East stands against the insidious poisoning of Western women with false self-images.
The East has the veil, it assesses the culture of science, the West, sex tourism, "While there is prostitution there, but countries like Iran, Libya, Algeria or the very well developed tourist Egypt are not on the Map of the Western sex tourists. The one-sided indignation at the Muslim forced marriages may also be due to the refusal of trade. "Forced marriages are so scandalized at us because of the Orient in his chastity is the western sex tourists refused? This is the projection of the most bizarre yet inveterate hatred of the male gender theory to cultural studies the debate on Islam. The scheme propaganda of the Islamists - Islamic decency against Western depravity - is accepted by the culture of science as a pattern of interpretation of the cultural conflict over the veil. The veil is for Christina von Braun will resist the voyeuristic gaze to penetrate to the west of the East and deflower his innocence. He wants to rob the East its otherness, because capitalism, everything must move into the recovery system: the women from head to tear the hijab is a symbol of colonial conquest.
This is a paraphrase Frantz Fanon, the ideologists of the anti-colonial liberation force. Fanon wrote that the veil dropped open " the colonialists been closed horizons and shows them piece by piece, the Algerian bared flesh. " This in turn increases the aggressiveness of the occupier with any exposed face. " Each discarded veil, Fanon, "expresses a negative way, that Algeria is starting to deny themselves, and that it has accepted the rape by the colonizer." A remarkably misogynistic argument: A woman comes to light lends itself to the rape. The post-colonial thinkers Fanon put it, the Islamists take over. Originally, the terms of this argument, the French besetzte Algerien. Heute wird es von Predigern auch im Westen benutzt.
Der australische Großmufti Tadsch Al-Din al-Hillali sprach im letzten Herbst während des Ramadan über die Pflicht der Frau zur Bedeckung: "Unbedecktes Fleisch" ziehe die Katzen an, sagte der Mufti.

Die Empörung war weltweit groß, daß ein einflußreicher Prediger Frauen ohne Kopftuch damit de facto zur Vergewaltigung freigab.
Die Gendertheoretikerin von Braun sieht sich natürlich not an argument in line with the Mufti. And yet it is in when they transfigured with Fanon the veil for anti-colonial resistance symbol and the defense against the sexism. The intellectual self-hatred to a jump in both cases, outright: Fanon, the Western Enlightenment tradition, which he owed his own education, for Haßobjekt. He sat with colonialism. Decolonization had to mean according to the forcible extinction of the European Union. This was not just metaphorical. Sartre has brought the murderous consequences of Fanonschen thinking to the narrow formula, shoot a European to mean "kill two birds with one stone to destroy an oppressor and an oppressed one. Remain a dead man and a free man, "How the Enlightenment Fanon denounced feminism Christina von Braun, he operates the cause of the white man, the enforcement of the western lifestyle, and therefore cultural colonialism" is most problematic, "she said in a recent interview, "that such a certain western feminism sits down and says. You just have to become like us, then you're happy,"
Under the pretext of emancipation, said von Braun, to the Oriental woman still under the law of capitalism be forced. Long before Christina von Braun Sayyid Qutb has already exposed the promise of happiness of women's emancipation as corruption offer. Qutb describes in his famous work \u0026lt;i> Social Justice in Islam \u0026lt;/ i> the advance of women in Western society as "a form of slavery and exploitation." The employment of women is ultimately the "exploitation of the sex drive of the customer." If women in the economy where the government and the media in advance, it is that the aim to use the attractiveness of women. And we know suggests to Qutb with a knowing wink the men's world, "must be what they are to achieve their success." Even "if it must be nothing - which is unlikely - we know, to devour what passions hungry and greedy eyes her body threatens \u0026lt;sup> \u0026lt;a class =" footnote "href =" http:/. / # www.eurozine.com/articles/article_2007-11-23-lau-de.html footNoteNUM4 "name =" footNote4 "link index =" 23 "> [4] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ sup>
The founder of modern Islamism seen with a view of the pornographers and the Western public is increasingly self-conscious active women. For this view is the office or the store, working in the male and female employees with each other, conceivable only as a kind of brothel. This is a way to reverse the occidental view of the Orientalist harem fantasies.
are increasingly After all appeals against the fatal alliance between our native culture with criticism of the Islamic Dekadenzkritik collected. It is reported recently more and more voices which thwart this game. One among them is the journalist Akbar Ganji, a former bodyguard of the Ayatollah Khomeini, who has been Years in Iran, persecuted and harassed, because he represents the moral pretensions of the Islamists in question. Which society is more moral, asks Ganji, the Islamic society, women and segregates the regulated, or the Western, which gives them freedom: "Why do girls and women before the revolution could use public transport without problems? Why do they have such problems since the revolution that not even the forced segregation on the buses, they still protects? Women do not want to be seen as sex objects, but the Islamic Republic has reduced them to it. Women are everywhere the target devouring gaze. "
The Qutbsche Image of the degenerate West, which is documented in the above-cited surveys as a majority is found recently by a number of authors in question, who themselves have a so-called migration background. The German Green MP Ekin Deligöz belongs to the last year called on the Muslims: "Lay off the headscarf! Come in today to "Likewise, the Islamic scholar Necla Kelek, in the \u0026lt;i> taz called \u0026lt;/ i>:". Muslims who learns to love the freedom of the individual "
Or Emel Algan, the daughter of the founder! the Islamist organization Milli Görüs and even a former activist. Algan sets public witness, as Islamism, together with its symbol, the headscarf, leaves behind. "The departure of the headscarf has become a matter of course," said Algan \u0026lt;i> the world \u0026lt;/ i> (April 23, 2007), "was not easy because I had developed a self-image so that linked to moral values was. It took me two years of research and experimentation before I could part with it because I am someone who does not do things by halves. My life without the headscarf is now not become any better because it was always good before, it is rather quite different . Become more exciting and versatile "
These critical Muslims in the West know the freedom to appreciate more than the locals - and even if it turns out to be a freedom for self-made disaster. In France, an initiative founded, encouraged the girls and women in the suburbs, can be treated "as a subject neither whores nor". The Syrian living in America Wafa Sultan says it is misleading to speak of a clash of cultures: "It is a struggle between freedom and oppression, between democracy and dictatorship. It is a struggle between human rights and their violation. It is a struggle between those who treat women like beasts and those who treat them like human beings. "The Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy says the 11th September was "good for the Muslims" have been because they too now must face the question of why the Islamists hate us: "Whenever I hear this question put a TV presenter," says Eltahawy, "I cry, I hate they, too! "
The most hated these courageous women is originally from Somalia, Ayaan Hirsi Ali Dutch, who now lives in the United States. In her autobiography, Hirsi Ali her experience with the departure of the Headscarf described. She had been brought up very strictly and had been close temporarily in Africa itself, the Muslim Brotherhood. After their arrival in Holland it is being challenged by Christian-Ethiopian friends to take off the cloth. After long hesitation, she dares one morning: "Absolutely nothing happened. The gardeners continue to cut the hedges. No one had a fit. Well, these men were Dutch, so maybe not real men. I went to Ethiopia and by men from Zaire, but no one noticed me. So I went to the Bosnians. No one looked at me. In fact, I drew less attention to me as if I had my hair covered. Not one man turned through. "\u0026lt;sup> \u0026lt;a class =" footnote "href =" # http://www.eurozine.com/articles/article_2007-11-23-lau-de.html footNoteNUM5 "name =" ; footNote5 "link index =" 24 "> [5] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ sup>
Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Dutch Initiation is an apt counterpart to Sayyid Qutb's primal scene from Greeley. A bit disappointed with the beautiful young woman in her early on, that not even play the Muslim Bosnians crazy when she shows her hair. But then she gets to appreciate it: "With my hair walking around in the wind, I felt somehow bigger. "
can walk around free, they are long gone. Ayaan Hirsi Ali lives - as many of the above - under police protection. Only when Muslims learn to view this situation as a Dekadenzsymptom their faith, things will get better.

While decades of migration have meant that multiculturalism has long been a de facto element of western European society, multiculturalism as social policy has been heavily challenged. Read articles on the debate here. \u0026lt;a href="http://www.eurozine.com/comp/focalpoints/culturaldiv.html" linkindex="19"> [more] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ div> Greeley with his trimmed appears in front yards while Qutb as "so beautiful that one might think that one is in paradise". But the metaphysical Mittelwestler are homeless: "It's important for these people to gardening, they operate as a merchant his shop in order holds, and a factory owner his factory. It puts no sense of beauty or artistic taste behind this activity. It is the machinery of the organization and ordering, deprived of all spirituality and all the aesthetic pleasures "Another time he writes." Smile is everywhere and everywhere there are 'fun', and at every corner hugs and kisses . But never seen real satisfaction on the faces "
In a tone that does not remind of about the same time resulting observations of another unhappy intellectuals -. Adorno's Minima Moralia \u0026lt;i> \u0026lt;/ i> -, Characterized as impoverished America Qutb also uninhibited and joyless, materially rich and emotionally, and mentally disturbed flat, democratic, and yet conformist. Qutb, who was executed by Nasser in 1966, was one of the most influential intellectuals of the last century. After his return he became the chief ideologue of the Muslim Brotherhood. His work \u0026lt;i> Milestones \u0026lt;/ i> was the manifesto of Islamism, in which the fight against the West and its influence in the Islamic world is summoned. To date, it must read every young jihadist intellectual claim. And since Qutb's image of the West was shaped largely in Colorado, it is not just a quip speak of Al Qaeda's roots in Greeley. Qutb was a temporary visitor who stayed only six months and never again set foot on Western soil. The image of the decadent West's popularity today among those who have long been no more guests, and yet remain strangers.
Earlier this year, the results of a first comprehensive survey \u0026lt;i> Living Apart Together \u0026lt;/ i> became known among British Muslims. \u0026lt;sup> \u0026lt;A class = "footnote" href = "http:// www.eurozine.com/articles/article_2007-11-23-lau-de.html # footNoteNUM1 "name =" footNote1 " link index = "20"> [1] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ sup> They show a deep ambivalence toward the West, made great by moralizing cultural criticism air. The young Muslims feel to live in a decadent country that has forgotten its own values, calling its liberties too high a price fall and whose manners rapidly. Mind you, not the older people complain here, as usual, the decadence of the society in the light of an intact ancient times. These are the boys who curse the present.
Is this something new in the history of migration: the dream instead of the parents of advancement and recognition implement, apply the second and third generation of moral indignation of the majority, and cultivated feelings of superiority. Rather than take the battle for recognition with the established majority, they deprive the majority of their society, the recognition in the character's religious identities. How should the European societies deal with the fact that a significant - and growing - part of the immigrants and their descendants, they reject them as decadent and the salvation it looks to isolate herself from them? This is the British company hits the mark and leads to resentment against Europe over Muslim immigrants.
It is almost impossible to convey that the Muslim residents at the beginning of modernity was a positive figure occupied. At the beginning of the European cultural criticism, the self-relativization stood by the Muslim. \u0026lt;i> Montesquieu Persian Letters \u0026lt;/ i> establish a pattern of Western self-criticism. In the fictitious letters of all the Persian envoy is brought to light mercilessly, which is in the blind spot of the locals. The scourge of our Muslim obscurantism, the superficiality of our fashions, our immorality and false pomp of our institutions. The stranger is no longer here the Barbarian, the backwardness of our self-flattering size. It is a challenge to our reason. Montesquieu developed a rational-dialogical Vision of universal reason: his Persian study in Paris to look at the thinking and practices of their homeland with fresh eyes and to doubt the traditional. The Montesquieu's letters give rise to the rationality of the mutual relativization of East and West. Relativism, irony and self-alienation in the eyes of the others are from then on the foundations of Western Enlightenment.
But how should we read the Persian Letters, which present the modern sociologists us in the form of opinion polls among European Muslims? 86 percent of British Muslims between 16 and 24 say that religion is for them "the most important in life." 36 percent think apostasy should be with death will be punished. 37 percent want to send their children rather than in a purely Islamic in a mixed school. 37 percent would rather live under Sharia law than the common law. 74 per cent Definition field, that women wear the headscarf. 13 percent "admire organizations like Al Qaeda that are prepared to fight against the West." For British Muslims, religion has an increasing importance - and for the young generation, even more than the first two generations of immigrants. Young Muslims feel less in common with non-Muslims than their parents. They prefer a greater extent than the older separate Islamic schools and sharia law.
The new religiosity of the young is not necessarily a return to the traditional lifestyle of their parents. The religion of the boys is highly politicized. It has become a medium of identity politics. Where the elderly tried to assimilation, the boys deliberately accentuate their differences in public by strict Islamic dress. If one in three British Muslim in the survey, the law pertaining to the Shariah and it expresses, apostasy punishable by death, then that is a dramatic finding - especially for a country like Great Britain, which emphasizes traditional casual with questions of national identity bypasses. They were accustomed to the attractiveness the "Britishness" simply assumed. But now we see in front of a growing population that is turning away from both the lifestyle of their parents and from the mainstream and its norms.
The affirmation of Islamic identity - as the young people they know - is a religious garb coming act of dissidence. The emotional core of the new Islamic identity politics, as documented in the surveys is cultural critique of the decadent Western society. They claimed in the language of cultural relativism, the "right to cultural difference." Is this right only fought, without prejudice to the moral Absolutism of a superior culture, whose essence is to recover from the west. That the corrupt and corrupt West has no values for which it pays to enter, is the lowest common denominator of the statements collected by the British researchers to young Muslims.
There are signs that a representative study in Germany (why it is missing so far?) Would come to similar conclusions. The recent survey of a group of women wearing headscarves on behalf of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung points in that direction. The women showed, similar to British Muslims, with a detachment toward Germany. Few have ever contact with non-Muslims. The higher the educational level, the lower the bond to Germany, the stronger the belief that superior to Islam from Christianity and "the people of different faith before God is not" are. For the women wearing headscarves is their Islamic identity - the better educated, more so - a feature of their moral superiority over the non-Islamic environment. The higher the graduation, the more often support the women into a theocracy.
\u0026lt;i> this point of the investigation, the headscarf - unveiling of a symbol \u0026lt;/ i> has been played down deliberately. It does not fit into the picture you wanted to see the commentators like. The women wearing headscarves are represented as victims of a prejudiced society. The women write, the authors felt right "by the German company rejected and discriminated against". For this reason, because they understandably little interest in German citizenship. The German company had to adjust to the fact that this includes the headscarf women and enable them to "equal participation". With a "pure anti-attitude" nothing to be won. \u0026lt;sup> \u0026lt;A class = "footnote" href = "# http://www.eurozine.com/articles/article_2007-11-23-lau-de.html footNoteNUM2" name = "Footnote2" link index = "21"> [2] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ sup> In the media presented the study as a warning to leave the tiresome headscarf issue finally to rest in the sake of peace.
We see here an example of the refusal of parts of the Western public to accept no for an answer. The retreat in the parallel society is appended at the end of the receiving society. It is explained by a social discrimination that simply no other Choice. If the headscarf women turn away from the German company, the logic, this can only mean that they were forced to do so. That they consciously decide against integration and for "cultural difference" is simply not. The politically correct paternalism of the headscarf study is symptomatic of the integration debate: an act of self-exclusion is reinterpreted in a debt at the end of the majority society.
victimological The way of dealing with the Muslim criticism of the West is fatal, because it deprives the opposite end. It is basically narcissistic: It refers to the integration problem always failures the majority and refuses to Islamic culture criticism of the West and their desire to take difference seriously. The fierce debate over the headscarf ban has created a false choice: Those who oppose the ban, must explain the headscarf for safe, who is holding the scarf for a problematic signal must be for a ban. But you can very well be the basis of liberal principles against the headscarf ban, without at the same time to ignore the anti-liberal attitude or play down to the neo-Islamic identity politics is based.
The headscarf is only one element - albeit a particularly important - the symbol of Islamist politics. It develops a comprehensive Pop Culture with Islamic, Islamic mufti and Tele-fashionable jilbab (coat dress with pants), niqab (face veil), "Burkinis" (full-body swimsuit with built-head covering). On relevant websites requests for exemption from sex education classes and school trips are available for download. Islamic transactions are correct to recognize by Halal certificates. Internet fatwas offer from online-Sheikh in the Diaspora orientation. In short, in all areas of life, the cultural difference will be redrawn. Internally, the group heard from the law very quickly, the obligation to rise up in the smallest everyday issues into the scholars put their expertise available, such as the Muslim had to distance themselves from the unbelieving majority.
On the popular site Islam Online about the offer of famous sheikhs of the Arab world and the Diaspora to Fatwa-chat for all occasions. Can a Muslim to send his people into April, in order to make a joke? No. Imitation of the West. - Can a student contact a Christian girl by e-mail in order to convert them to Islam? No. Could lead to illicit contacts. - Can I eat bacon as a Muslim man who was prepared only from halal ingredients? No. Could make on real bacon taste. - Can Muslims from their loved ones for Valentine's Day Giving Gifts? No. Imitation of the West. - Can I use a lipstick that contains alcohol? Twice, no. - Can a Muslim as a taxi driver drop his passengers at a bar or a casino? Only if he loses the job otherwise. - Can a Muslim celebrate the Mother's Day? No. Imitation of the West.
A real Fatwaindustrie dedicated to the Islamization of modernity to the smallest detail and absurd. Most intimate things thoroughly declined. All of life can be divided neatly into permitted and forbidden. There is always an episode from the Life of the Prophet, can be derived from a solution. It leaves no questions, any ambivalence is disposed of completely. Who is the rigid rule of the sheikhs subjects will be rewarded with the good sense to separate itself clearly from the corrupt world of the infidels.
who sends his daughter to the school trip to the sex education or co-ed swimming lessons, so a stand against the moral reprehensibility of such events. The headscarf can be inside a symbol of orthodoxy, to the outside, it is practiced cultural criticism the West and its lax morals. Even so it is causing so great impetus to our debates. It not only oppresses women and girls. The sexualization of any contact between the sexes by the headscarf is also anti-male. By wrapping the girls and women to sexual objects, makes the intimacy of the man is injured. The veil is placed under the male gaze uncontrollable instinct. There is undoubtedly racism and xenophobia in our societies. However, it is foolish, the anger that accompanies the symbolic dispute over the Islamic segregation practices as "Islamophobia" to dismiss. The reservations of a majority of non-Muslims against this practice can be read as a sign that the Islamic Dekadenzkritik understood and its moral presumption is dismissed.
Western intellectuals to the Muslim cultural criticism very receptive, but it is partly or wholly in line with our self-criticism. The Persian Letters scheme can become a trap. Timothy Garton Ash commented on the alienation of British Muslims in \u0026lt;i> Guardian \u0026lt;/ i> (August 10, 2006): "One possible reason is that Britain now has one of the most libertarian societies in Europe. Particularly among young people in the cities, where most Muslims live, is more alcohol consumed and herumgevögelt, there are fewer intact families and prayed less than anywhere in the world. From the testimony of British Muslims is clear that part of their reaction to is against this secular, hedonistic, anomic lifestyle. If women are reduced to sex objects, young Muslim women say, then I cover myself better. They maintain such a thing as a conservative feminism. It is a socially conservative critique of some aspects of British society, which are particularly evident in her generation [...] The idea that these young British Muslims, in fact, put his finger on some things that are wrong in our modern progressive, liberal, secular society, the idea that reasonable persons could freely choose a different, outwardly more restricted way to live - this is in our everyday progressive discourses hardly before. But if it is. "
Breathtaking, as here, the" progressive discourse ", anomie, binge drinking, liberalism, sexism and hedonism are blended into a single large context of delusion. The following 11 September often asked question - why do they hate us? - Would finally be answered: because we are hated. If yodelled under Dirndl, growing under the Veil of resistance. The veil is a bulwark against Western sexism. Timothy Garton Ash takes the tone of the liberal self-criticism, the arguments of the Islamists. The propaganda with which the Ayatollah Khomeini, the introduction of the compulsory headscarf in Iran after the revolution justified, has found its way to Oxford.
The Iranian-born author Chahdorrt Djavann experienced the archetype of the "feminist" justification of the headscarf in the post-revolutionary Iran in his own body. In her furious treatise what Allah thinks about Europe? she recalls the post-revolutionary Iran, "'Muslim Women', was heard there, can only develop thanks to the Islamic laws and emancipate protect them from the Western decadence. Muslim women find their self-respect, their dignity, their beliefs, their honor, their identity and their desire to by making themselves the Islamic values their own emancipation and to reject the model that has only led to the decadence of Western women. The woman is reduced in Western societies from advertising and pornography to a commodity ... . Our veil protects us, it confirms our Muslim identity and our Islamic faith, "The Shah is defeated, the battle for the moral regeneration continues - as in the Islamic world, today in the West.
The Pakistani-British writer Sarfraz Manzoor asked at the beginning of the year in the Guardian a reversal of the integration debate: If the country wondered "what is a culture of respect expansively counter has, then you should consider what would have to learn from Islamic values. Muslim children have a better chance to grow up in intact families than those in single-parent households that are in the UK more often. "Manzoor is a young secular intellectual who loves pop culture, which the Islamists is a symbol of Western decadence. And yet he plays into the hands of identity politics, speaking of "Muslim values" speaks. The British company, he asks, should be integrated into this sphere of values rather than vice versa. The "home-grown terrorists" of the 7th July 2005 were "So well integrated into white society, that they can assume their worst characteristics. Integration did not save them, they created them. "This is an elegant way of processing claims. Islamist terror is declared a consequence of the decadence of the West. The terror is in this perspective, a desperate form of cultural criticism.
The cultural scientist Christina von Braun explains the importance of the headscarf in the same way. In a comprehensive study, they count against the veiling of women in Islam against the unveiling of women in the West. Veils and headscarves as symbols of patriarchal oppression and an 'Islamic Fundamentalism to interpret, '"serve nothing other than the concealment of Western violence against the woman:" If we so often the oppression of women in Islam and directed against male violence is discussed, it seems that the function have to divert from the women in the West directed against potential violence. "The violence, von Braun, who believes the West is exposed to the veiled Muslim woman, is opposed by the violence of the Western voyeuristic gaze. And the violence of female circumcision, which is condemned in the West at right as a human rights violation is up against the west cosmetic surgery and self-injury, the young women (and increasingly men) cause her body. "\u0026lt;sup> \u0026lt;a class =" footnote "href =" http://www.eurozine.com/articles/article_2007- 11-23-lau-en.html # footNoteNUM3 "name =" footNote3 "link index =" 22 "> [3] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ sup> The latter is of course much worse, because more subtle form of violence, for the women to fit themselves. Honest, old-fashioned repression in the East stands against the insidious poisoning of Western women with false self-images.
The East has the veil, it assesses the culture of science, the West, sex tourism, "While there is prostitution there, but countries like Iran, Libya, Algeria or the very well developed tourist Egypt are not on the Map of the Western sex tourists. The one-sided indignation at the Muslim forced marriages may also be due to the refusal of trade. "Forced marriages are so scandalized at us because of the Orient in his chastity is the western sex tourists refused? This is the projection of the most bizarre yet inveterate hatred of the male gender theory to cultural studies the debate on Islam. The scheme propaganda of the Islamists - Islamic decency against Western depravity - is accepted by the culture of science as a pattern of interpretation of the cultural conflict over the veil. The veil is for Christina von Braun will resist the voyeuristic gaze to penetrate to the west of the East and deflower his innocence. He wants to rob the East its otherness, because capitalism, everything must move into the recovery system: the women from head to tear the hijab is a symbol of colonial conquest.
This is a paraphrase Frantz Fanon, the ideologists of the anti-colonial liberation force. Fanon wrote that the veil dropped open " the colonialists been closed horizons and shows them piece by piece, the Algerian bared flesh. " This in turn increases the aggressiveness of the occupier with any exposed face. " Each discarded veil, Fanon, "expresses a negative way, that Algeria is starting to deny themselves, and that it has accepted the rape by the colonizer." A remarkably misogynistic argument: A woman comes to light lends itself to the rape. The post-colonial thinkers Fanon put it, the Islamists take over. Originally, the terms of this argument, the French besetzte Algerien. Heute wird es von Predigern auch im Westen benutzt.
Der australische Großmufti Tadsch Al-Din al-Hillali sprach im letzten Herbst während des Ramadan über die Pflicht der Frau zur Bedeckung: "Unbedecktes Fleisch" ziehe die Katzen an, sagte der Mufti. Wird es "ohne Bedeckung draußen auf die Straße gelegt oder in den Garten oder in den Park, dann kommen die Katzen und essen es. Ist das nun die Schuld der Katzen oder des unbedeckten Fleisches?" Die Empörung war weltweit groß, daß ein einflußreicher Prediger Frauen ohne Kopftuch damit de facto zur Vergewaltigung freigab.
Die Gendertheoretikerin von Braun sieht sich natürlich not an argument in line with the Mufti. And yet it is in when they transfigured with Fanon the veil for anti-colonial resistance symbol and the defense against the sexism. The intellectual self-hatred to a jump in both cases, outright: Fanon, the Western Enlightenment tradition, which he owed his own education, for Haßobjekt. He sat with colonialism. Decolonization had to mean according to the forcible extinction of the European Union. This was not just metaphorical. Sartre has brought the murderous consequences of Fanonschen thinking to the narrow formula, shoot a European to mean "kill two birds with one stone to destroy an oppressor and an oppressed one. Remain a dead man and a free man, "How the Enlightenment Fanon denounced feminism Christina von Braun, he operates the cause of the white man, the enforcement of the western lifestyle, and therefore cultural colonialism" is most problematic, "she said in a recent interview, "that such a certain western feminism sits down and says. You just have to become like us, then you're happy,"
Under the pretext of emancipation, said von Braun, to the Oriental woman still under the law of capitalism be forced. Long before Christina von Braun Sayyid Qutb has already exposed the promise of happiness of women's emancipation as corruption offer. Qutb describes in his famous work \u0026lt;i> Social Justice in Islam \u0026lt;/ i> the advance of women in Western society as "a form of slavery and exploitation." The employment of women is ultimately the "exploitation of the sex drive of the customer." If women in the economy where the government and the media in advance, it is that the aim to use the attractiveness of women. And we know suggests to Qutb with a knowing wink the men's world, "must be what they are to achieve their success." Even "if it must be nothing - which is unlikely - we know, to devour what passions hungry and greedy eyes her body threatens \u0026lt;sup> \u0026lt;a class =" footnote "href =" http:/. / # www.eurozine.com/articles/article_2007-11-23-lau-de.html footNoteNUM4 "name =" footNote4 "link index =" 23 "> [4] \u0026lt;/ a> \u0026lt;/ sup>
The founder of modern Islamism seen with a view of the pornographers and the Western public is increasingly self-conscious active women. For this view is the office or the store, working in the male and female employees with each other, conceivable only as a kind of brothel. This is a way to reverse the occidental view of the Orientalist harem fantasies.
are increasingly After all appeals against the fatal alliance between our native culture with criticism of the Islamic Dekadenzkritik collected. It is reported recently more and more voices which thwart this game. One among them is the journalist Akbar Ganji, a former bodyguard of the Ayatollah Khomeini, who has been Years in Iran, persecuted and harassed, because he represents the moral pretensions of the Islamists in question. Which society is more moral, asks Ganji, the Islamic society, women and segregates the regulated, or the Western, which gives them freedom: "Why do girls and women before the revolution could use public transport without problems? Why do they have such problems since the revolution that not even the forced segregation on the buses, they still protects? Women do not want to be seen as sex objects, but the Islamic Republic has reduced them to it. Women are everywhere the target devouring gaze. "
The Qutbsche Image of the degenerate West, which is documented in the above-cited surveys as a majority is found recently by a number of authors in question, who themselves have a so-called migration background. The German Green MP Ekin Deligöz belongs to the last year called on the Muslims: "Lay off the headscarf! Come in today to "Likewise, the Islamic scholar Necla Kelek, in the \u0026lt;i> taz called \u0026lt;/ i>:". Muslims who learns to love the freedom of the individual "
Or Emel Algan, the daughter of the founder! the Islamist organization Milli Görüs and even a former activist. Algan sets public witness, as Islamism, together with its symbol, the headscarf, leaves behind. "The departure of the headscarf has become a matter of course," said Algan \u0026lt;i> the world \u0026lt;/ i> (April 23, 2007), "was not easy because I had developed a self-image so that linked to moral values was. It took me two years of research and experimentation before I could part with it because I am someone who does not do things by halves. My life without the headscarf is now not become any better because it was always good before, it is rather quite different . Become more exciting and versatile "
These critical Muslims in the West know the freedom to appreciate more than the locals - and even if it turns out to be a freedom for self-made disaster. In France, an initiative founded, encouraged the girls and women in the suburbs, can be treated "as a subject neither whores nor". The Syrian living in America Wafa Sultan says it is misleading to speak of a clash of cultures: "It is a struggle between freedom and oppression, between democracy and dictatorship. It is a struggle between human rights and their violation. It is a struggle between those who treat women like beasts and those who treat them like human beings. "The Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy says the 11th September was "good for the Muslims" have been because they too now must face the question of why the Islamists hate us: "Whenever I hear this question put a TV presenter," says Eltahawy, "I cry, I hate they, too! "
The most hated these courageous women is originally from Somalia, Ayaan Hirsi Ali Dutch, who now lives in the United States. In her autobiography, Hirsi Ali her experience with the departure of the Headscarf described. She had been brought up very strictly and had been close temporarily in Africa itself, the Muslim Brotherhood. After their arrival in Holland it is being challenged by Christian-Ethiopian friends to take off the cloth. After long hesitation, she dares one morning: "Absolutely nothing happened. The gardeners continue to cut the hedges. No one had a fit. Well, these men were Dutch, so maybe not real men. I went to Ethiopia and by men from Zaire, but no one noticed me. So I went to the Bosnians. No one looked at me. In fact, I drew less attention to me as if I had my hair covered. Not one man turned through.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Dutch Initiation is an apt counterpart to Sayyid Qutb's primal scene from Greeley. A bit disappointed with the beautiful young woman in her early on, that not even play the Muslim Bosnians crazy when she shows her hair. But then she gets to appreciate it: "With my hair walking around in the wind, I felt somehow bigger. "
can walk around free, they are long gone. Ayaan Hirsi Ali lives - as many of the above - under police protection. Only when Muslims learn to view this situation as a Dekadenzsymptom their faith, things will get better.
