Western Ideology Above Islam

Women who are Muslim, or men even who are Muslim, and they are, you know, born and raised in the West, they put an ideology, the knowledge production of which is a Western, white, colonial knowledge production. They put that identity first, accept that identity, and then they put it above Islam. It could be argued to be worse than what we saw in Somaliland. It's even worse than that, because at least with that, the tribe is an African tribe. This other thing is you're taking the colonial ideology and you're making that your identity. It's the embarrassment of all, mother of all embarrassments.

Feminism as a Stumbling Block

And I'll be honest with you, Maria, my aversion to feminism came as a result of the fact that when I started going around to the UK universities and I was doing da'wah when I was 15, 16, 17 in my school. So no one could take the fact that I was doing da'wah away from me before there were any cameras. I was doing it to my friends and peers, and I went to these universities and was doing the same thing as I was doing in my school. Telling people about Islam, trying to convince them of Islam. I realized that the feministic interrogations were one of the main stumbling blocks between people and guidance.

So I started to develop an aversion towards feminism, just in the same way as, for example, if I had been, um, if I'd been born and raised in the communist, I don't know, Ukraine or something like that, in the 80s, and I tried to give da'wah in Ukraine as a Muslim, and then everyone was like, all these Muslims were being influenced by communism. I would develop a similar aversion towards communism. But it's just that in the West, feminism became that thing. So for the gripe I have with this ideology, I only have one gripe as essentially someone who's trying to do missionary work. My gripe is that it constitutes one of the main stumbling blocks, one of the main barriers to entry between a person and their Islam.
