Learning From Islam How To Avoid Societal Degradation
In your life, how many times have you seen an Arab Muslim woman doing a booty-shaking video or a breast-revealing skit on social media? I am fifty, and I have never seen such a thing happen, beyond the cultural dance known as belly dancing, which is of Middle Eastern origin.
Yet, you look down on Islam because you think it disempowers women?
What is empowering about what we are seeing being done by, to, and with our women all over social media in Black Africa and the West?
In some parts of Southern Nigeria, many young women carry bags with nothing in them but condoms and iPhones. It has now become a tool of the trade and is so commonplace that it is the girls who do not live like that that now seem weird.
Meanwhile, Muslims are least likely to have sex outside marriage on Earth.
Muslims are 53% less likely to have premarital sex than Christians. Hindus are 40% less likely than Christians. The only Christians who compete with Muslims in this regard are Orthodox Christians. Why?
It is because they, like Muslims, maintain the moral aspects of their religion, whereas Western-style Christianity is fast losing theirs. But we have made sure to keep the miracle and financial breakthrough parts.
It is impossible to open social media without being assaulted by sensual images that make you think evil thoughts.
And even our music is now not just music. Sometimes, it is hard to understand whether our artistes are using sex to sell music or using music to sell sex.
One reason why sexual crimes all over sub-Saharan Africa are on the rise is because we are being conditioned to give in to our sexual urges, rather than restrain them.
Our society is over-sexualised. People, both men and women, see these images online and cannot get them out of their minds. Then they see women dressing sexually everywhere around them, and this continues to build the anticipation.
And then the desire builds up until it becomes like how Yakov (James), the brother of Yeshua (Jesus), puts it:
Each person is tempted when dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.-James 1:14-15.
Our society is losing its morals, and even the church in Black Africa and the West is too worldly to be an orderly and morally strong force in society.
Therefore, it is time for the Nigerian government to step in and regulate what our young people see on social media. China did it and if boosted morals, exam pass rates, and industrial productivity.
If we don't, our future in Nigeria, Black Africa and Afro-Caribbean nations will be bleak. Beyond bleakness, it may even be full of paternity fraud, high HIV-AIDS rates, and increased incidences of sexual-based offences.
But when you look at the Middle East and North Africa, coincidentally, the parts of the world most impervious to Western culture. This part of the Earth, also known as the MENA Region, has the lowest HIV rates in the world, as well as the lowest rates of sexually transmitted diseases on planet Earth. Not only that, Arab Muslim males have lower prostate cancer rates, as well as lower measures of prostate-specific antigen than Black or White males.
The risk of developing prostate cancer is 27% for Black males, 12% for White males, and 7% for Asian males in the MENA Region.
Please assume I am lying and fact-check me.
In contrast, regions of the world where women experience multiple sexual partners are also regions where women report having the most emotional and psychological issues.
Facts do not lie. Without change, our society may be changed beyond recognition and repair.
