You may not believe it, but it is true.
The capitalist system desires the enslavement of nations for the production of a god—a god made of paper and gold.
Have you ever thought about why there is a constant bombardment of advertisements 24/7?
Different fashion trends—it’s not that fashion itself is bad, but drowning people in fashion is exactly what the capitalist system wants.
The production of money and its injection into large corporations that aim to enslave nations in the pursuit of an earthly paradise.
They know exactly which part of a person to target to control them.
Lust
Whether we like it or not, lust turns a person into a consumerist being. Wendy Shalit, in her book How Girls Return to Modesty, writes: “There are many young girls who, from a young age, desire to be seen through their sexual appeal.”This means we must teach girls from the very beginning that they should offer more allure on the streets.
In such a scenario, it is better for a woman to work herself so she is not dependent on her husband’s favor, and whatever she earns tomorrow will end up in the pockets of the world’s masters.
Just yesterday, I was sitting around this topic, drinking tea, and thinking to myself: If a person has only one master, they will sooner realize their own enslavement. But woe to the day when a person has more than one master—they won’t even realize they are enslaved at all.
Now imagine if these masters whisper “freedom” in their ear and give them drugs, like dance, disco, alcohol, and sex, to further control them. What will the end result be?
In the end, the body is put on display.
Men, whether they like it or not, become seekers of women’s bodies.
And among women, a competition begins over who is the sexiest.
Eventually, women are reduced to commodities—commodities that are bought and sold. Yes, you understood correctly, bought and sold.
President Nixon of the United States said in the year 1972: “Our income from trade through women exceeded one million dollars this year.
The truth is, more than anything, I fear words and deception.
My go-to example is always the Ice Age cartoon. In this cartoon, there was a famous bridge that, whenever an animal crossed it, they would immediately drop dead due to the presence of toxic gases.
The animals of the forest began crossing the bridge, but the rule was that no one was to breathe. Some managed to cross the bridge and make it to the end, but others got stuck and had no choice but to breathe. To everyone’s surprise, none of them died. Instead, they burst out in uncontrollable laughter—laughter that seemed fine at first, but gradually the animals on the other side noticed that their laughter never stopped. That’s when they saw the grinning skeletons. At that point, they did everything they could to make the others aware of their situation.
This story reflects the reality of our world. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell what is true freedom.
I’m reminded of a statement by a survivor of the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) who said:
“Because we were inside the organization, we had become accustomed to the disgusting words and behaviors, and we believed all of them were necessary for the freedom of humanity.”
Sometimes brainwashing reaches a point where women in the West, in order to escape the label of being “prudish,” feel compelled to engage in sexual relationships with boys at a young age, under the guise of being trendy and free.
But what is freedom really? Is freedom escaping the captivity of lust, or is it simply the freedom to dress and act however we want, which ultimately leads to suicide and emptiness?
It’s clear that the pursuit of lust doesn’t result in the kind of freedom our daughters think they will achieve. It would be good to look at the statistics from the West about sexual assaults.
Sometimes, I feel we should be afraid—afraid that we’ve become slaves without even realizing it, thinking we are free in our own enslavement.
Taking off the hijab is not freedom.
You might think that the hijab is to keep women at home for men, but I feel more strongly that the philosophy of the hijab is to allow women to go about their work with greater security, especially since hijab isn’t required among close relatives (mahrams).
Besides, my thinking about gender is quite different. The natural behavior of both men and women is exactly what the other desires. The idea that men desire women’s hijab doesn’t mean we should abolish the hijab based on this alone.
But let’s return to our main topic: the capitalist system.
Capitalism thrives on fashion and consumerism. People only become true consumers when their rational thinking declines. That’s why pulling women into a culture of visibility and self-display is in the best interest of the capitalist system.
When women turn to self-display, there is an increase in plastic surgeries, sexualized clothing, and cosmetic products. Abortions rise to facilitate the production of more cosmetics.
Modesty and simplicity are precisely what steer people away from consumerism. So, what better tactic than to mock and degrade hijab under various pretexts, ultimately leading to its downfall? Since no one likes being humiliated or looked down upon, the hijab must be discarded.
Wendy Shalit, in her book How Girls Return to Modesty, writes:
“Playboy magazine described my book as ‘A Man’s Worst Nightmare.'”
Yes, hijab should be a nightmare for men—but not for healthy men, only for lustful ones.
In the past, men had harems; now, society itself has become a harem—only more convenient.
You might ask how?
Because now men don’t have to go through the hardship of obtaining each woman. Women, in an effort to escape the humiliation of hijab and chador, willingly place themselves at men’s disposal.
Moreover, women now work, so there’s no financial burden for men.
There is no longer any barrier between men and women.
Lustful men should be worried, indeed.
The chador is a strong barrier for lustful men.
They have every reason to feel concerned. Perhaps, one day, women will realize they don’t need to abandon modesty to avoid being ridiculed or seen as old-fashioned. And once they come to this realization, they will no longer allow just any man access to them so easily. Without this easy access, fewer abortions will happen, and with fewer abortions, the cosmetic industry that serves the capitalist system will produce less.
Furthermore, women won’t feel the need to expose themselves for the sake of selling more products.
Indeed, the issue of women’s hijab is a nightmare for men.
It’s useful to occasionally look at these matters without bias.
Women who see hijab as a symbol of opposition to men should understand that it is not wise to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
Though I don’t see hijab as a frying pan, some undoubtedly view a life with hijab as one and wrongly think men are its gatekeepers.
The reality is that just as healthy men seek out modest and veiled women, women also value chastity.
Chastity should be reflected outwardly—otherwise, how can we speak of inner purity if it doesn’t manifest in one’s appearance?
