so much that i knew i had to cut down on the imported magazines (times are bad).
so, my picks are...
However, in desperation...(i ran out of mags to read)...i bought the Marie Claire
and i was seriously shocked and appalled.
why? because this magazine OPENLY DEFAME Islam...MY religion.
There was article on Brit Sex Now. It basically showcases women of different walk of lives, from the Durex brand manager to a prostitute. And ONE of the women showcased was a Muslim girl.
Not only will this short piece on her confuse Non-Muslims...it really speaks unwell of the religion. It tells on how she has sex and hides it from her family. There was also a generic statement about Muslims and sexual abuse. Then there is something about how a Muslim man would shag (have sex) with a white woman but never marry one. They even mentioned how in mosques men and women are separated...and she thinks that it is to stop them from flirting (!?!??!?!?!?!?). how stupid is that.
it was the positioning of the article that angers me. Because..YES we can't drink alcohol...and YES we can't have pre-marital sex. but so what. it IS what God forbids. and it does NOT make us a lesser person. or bad.
as for the sexual abuse? blooody hell. i am pretty darn sure it is not restricted to religion. there sickos from every faith. so what gives.
then, there is ANOTHER article. about a 10 year old girl in Yemen, who was married to a 30 year old man (against her will). yes. this is wrong. but again...they positioned it as...an ISLAM thing...rather than a CULTURE thing.
so, i call to you...to boycott this magazine. whether you are a Muslim or not.
anything that defames ANY religion is just wrong in my book.
