Culture Whose Word For ‘Black Man’ Is ‘Slave’ Rebukes West For Racism

“Do not even get me started on the treatment of women,” snapped Egyptian scholar Alnisa’ Eahirat.

Doha, January 17 – A group of societies from the Mediterranean to southeast Asia whose common heritage includes a language that equates dark-skinned Africans with servitude leveled criticism at countries who provide political equality regardless of heritage or skin color.

Cultures speaking Arabic or centered on sacred texts in Arabic, a language in which the term “‘Abed,” meaning slave, denotes a person of African ancestry and appearance, lambasted the US, Britain, and other societies for discrimination against people of color, criticism that often features in the rhetoric of Islamic societies.

Leading cultural figures in Qatar, Morocco, Iran, Malaysia, and numerous other Muslim countries repeated their customary denunciations of Western depravity, citing human rights, the treatment of women, people of color, Muslims, and other marginalized groups as illustrating the moral chasm that exists between the corrupt, doomed West and the superior, virtuous lands of Islam.

“We acknowledge the emancipation of slaves in the West, which occurred as late as a century-and-a-half ago in the case of the United States,” pronounced Qatari preacher Dun al-Bashar in his weekly sermon. “But such token gestures fail to mitigate the horrific racism American and other Western countries display toward those who are different, such as the untermensch African slave, who would do much better in our lands as, shall we say, a ‘hired worker’ whose movement, choices, workload, treatment, and compensation are left in the benevolent hands of the wise Muslim master.”

“Do not even get me started on the treatment of women,” snapped Egyptian scholar Alnisa’ Eahirat. “Can you imagine the evil to which the women in the West are exposed when they are forced to embrace the wicked notion of autonomy and capacity for decision-making independent of a male guardian? The West cannot claim the mantle of enlightenment when it subjects its most fragile – and yet at the same time its most alluring, devil-inviting, seductively powerful – members to such irresponsible roles. One cannot criminalize wife-beating or forced marriage, or, would you believe, child marriage, and make an honest claim to be some great moral arbiter. And do not even get me started on honor killings and the suppression of our ancient culture through the banning of such necessary, even noble, practices.”

An Iranian official began a tirade about the treatment of Jews in the West, where Jews have not experienced systemic persecution in decades, and observed that Zionism bears most of the responsibility for the travesty of removing Jews from the mercy of those at whose pleasure they live in host lands.
