Over at The Belmont Club
Dissection of an ingrate moral relativist:
"A few threads back Alexis and myself disagreed on the nature of women's reaction to Sharia and the threat of Sharia in the West.
I cite Teresita as Exhibit A as to why women, in general, makes excuses for Sharia violence, including in this instance, honor killings.
Teresita's views are by no means atypical, indeed I would cite them as representative of a broad spectrum of women in the West.
For Teresita to view the crime as horrific, and preventable, and one indicative of Muslim religion and custom (one and the same), she would then have to consider what it would take to prevent that crime or similar ones from occurring.
Men, policemen, arresting the man for threatening his sister, and throwing him in jail. The entire "male" power structure. You will not find many feminist professors of English enforcing the law, physically handcuffing or shooting if necessary violent men like Ahmad, nor community activists either. Nor will you find them among jailers, bailiffs, etc.
In order for the poor woman's life to be saved, men had to intervene to stop the stabbing before it started.
Teresita would rather change the subject to: Christian Preachers say bad things, therefore no one is perfect, therefore all are equal.
That's the logic of petulant child, and she knows it. But like the vast majority of women she'll cling to the fantasy of denial. Denial that the death of a Muslim teenage girl will presage the limits of her own freedom. Denial that failure to protect the helpless will only encourage further predation outside the Muslim community. Denial that the bad men won't stop at the invisible "Muslim" line.
Because any threat to the feminist, female power of consensus, social disapproval, fashion, fads, and political correctness and multiculturalism (a gigantic, feminine fad or social order akin to the ladies of Jane Austen's day) cannot be tolerated. Like most women, Teresita is willing to deny the obvious threat rather than give up one jot of social power to men who do the protecting.
Naturally, the enemies of teenage Muslim girls are Muslim men like Ahmad allied with Western Women like Teresita. No other political conclusion can be drawn.
For men like Ahmad it is a means of violence to enact control and dominance over not just his Sister but others as well. For women like Teresita, it is not ceding the social power. This is the situation all across the Western World."
