“Muslim women deserve dignity too”
Saw this post and, as a Muslim, I’m honestly ashamed not because someone is concerned about zina or wants to discuss Islamic values, but because of the way this concern is being expressed.
You can believe zina is haram without implying that the presence of non-Muslim students causes Muslims to commit zina. ...
If someone chooses to commit a sin, that responsibility belongs to the individual, not to the religion of the people around them...
Calling Muslim women “selling their dignity” because they study with, live around, or interact with non-Muslim men is also deeply disrespectful. ...
Living or studying alongside someone does not automatically tell us anything about their sexual behaviour. And assuming that these women are doing it “just for money and good accommodation” is judging their motives without knowing them....
The statement that Muslim girls “aren’t even listening to Muslim men” is also concerning. Muslim women have their own agency and responsibility before Allah. Disagreeing with their choices does not give other Muslim men the right to speak about them as if they have authority over them....
If the author has personally witnessed behaviour on campus that they consider inappropriate, they can absolutely talk about those experiences. But those experiences don't justify treating Muslim women as a group as though they have lost their dignity, or treating non-Muslims as a source of moral corruption....
And then the post moves from campus experiences to claims about the RSS, Zionists, the Ottoman Empire, and an alleged deliberate effort to distract Muslim women from Islam. That's a huge leap. Those connections need to actually be established rather than assumed...
If the concern is genuinely about Muslims following Islamic values, then the conversation should involve personal responsibility, religious understanding and respectful advice not degrading women, blaming an entire religious group of students, or turning everything into a conspiracy....
You can strongly believe something is haram and still speak about people with dignity, fairness and basic respect. In fact, I think we should.
