''...Most of us are not happy, trust
me...''March 7th, 2007 By Joanna FrancisWriter, Journalist – USA Between the
Israeli assault on Lebanon and the Zionist "war on terror," the
Muslim world is now center stage in every American home. I see the carnage, death and destruction that have befallen Lebanon, but I
also see something else: I see you. I can't help but notice that almost every
woman I see is carrying a baby or has children around her. I see that though they
are dressed modestly, their beauty still shines through. But it's not just
outer beauty that I notice.I also notice that I feel something strange inside
me: I feel envy. I feel terrible for the horrible experiences and war crimes
that the Lebanese people have suffered, being targeted by our common enemy. But
I can't help but admire your strength, your beauty, your modesty, and most of
all, your happiness. Yes, it's strange, but it occurred to me that even under
constant bombardment, you still seemed happier than we are, because you were
still living the natural lives of women. The way women have always lived since
the beginning of time. It used to be that way in the West until the 1960s, when
we were bombarded by the same enemy. Only we were not bombarded with actual
munitions, but with subtle trickery and moral corruption.Through TemptationThey
bombarded us Americans from Hollywood, instead of from fighter jets or with our
own American-made tanks. They would like to bomb you in this way too, after
they've finished bombing the infrastructure of your countries. I do not want
this to happen to you. You will feel degraded, just like we do. You can avoid
this kind of bombing if you will kindly listen to those of us who have already
suffered serious casualties from their evil influence. Because everything you
see coming out of Hollywood is a pack of lies, a distortion of reality, smoke
and mirrors. They present casual sex as harmless recreation because they aim to
destroy the moral fabric of the societies into which they beam their poisonous
programming. I beg you not to drink their poison.There is no antidote for it
once you have consumed it. You may recover partially, but you will never be the
same. Better to avoid the poison altogether than to try to heal from the damage
it causes. They will try to tempt you with their titillating movies and music
videos, falsely portraying us American women as happy and satisfied, proud of
dressing like prostitutes, and content without families. Most of us are not
happy, trust me. Millions of us are on anti- depressant medication, hate our
jobs, and cry at night over the men who told us they loved us, then greedily
used us and walked away. They would like to destroy your families and convince
you to have fewer children. They do this by presenting marriage as a form of
slavery, motherhood as a curse, and being modest and pure as old-fashioned.
They want you to cheapen yourself and lose your faith. They are like the
Serpent tempting Eve with the apple. Don't bite.Self-ValueI see you as precious
gems, pure gold, or the "pearl of great value" spoken of in the Bible
(Matthew 13: 45). All women are pearls of great value, but some of us have been
deceived into doubting the value of our purity. Jesus said: "Give not that
which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they
trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you" (Matthew 7:
6).Our pearls are priceless, but they convince us that they're cheap. But trust
me; there is no substitute for being able to look in the mirror and seeing
purity, innocence and self-respect staring back at you. The fashions coming out
of the Western sewer are designed to make you believe that your most valuable
asset is your sexuality. But your beautiful dresses and veils are actually
sexier than any Western fashion, because they cloak you in mystery and show
self-respect and confidence. A woman's sexuality should be guarded from
unworthy eyes, since it should be your gift to the man who loves and respects
you enough to marry you. And since your men are still manly warriors, they
deserve no less than your best. Our men don't even want purity anymore. They
don't recognize the pearl of great value, opting for the flashy rhinestone
instead.Only to leave her too! Your most valuable assets are your inner beauty,
your innocence, and everything that makes you who you are. But I notice that
some Muslim women push the limit and try to be as Western as possible, even
while wearing a veil (with some of their hair showing).Why imitate women who
already regret, or will soon regret, their lost virtue? There is no
compensation for that loss. You are flawless diamonds. Don't let them trick you
into becoming rhinestones. Because everything you see in the fashion magazines
and on Western television is a lie. It is Satan's trap. It is fool's gold.A
Woman's HeartI'll let you in on a little secret, just in case you're curious:
pre- marital sex is not even that great. We gave our bodies to the men we were
in love with, believing that that was the way to make them love us and want to
marry us, just as we had seen on television growing up. But without the
security of marriage and the sure knowledge that he will always stay with us,
it's not even enjoyable! That's the irony. It was just a waste. It leaves you
in tears. Speaking as one woman to another, I believe that you understand that
already. Because only a woman can truly understand what's in another woman's
heart.We really are all alike. Our race, religion or nationalities do not
matter. A woman's heart is the same everywhere. We love. That's what we do
best. We nurture our families and give comfort and strength to the men we love.
But we American women have been fooled into believing that we are happiest
having careers, our own homes in which to live alone, and freedom to give our
love away to whomever we choose. That is not freedom. And that is not love.
Only in the safe haven of marriage can a woman's body and heart be safe to
love. Don't settle for anything less. It's not worth it. You won't even like it
and you'll like yourself even less afterwards. Then he'll leave
you.Self-DenialSin never pays. It always cheats you. Even though I have
reclaimed my honor, there's still no substitute for having never been
dishonored in the first place.We Western women have been brainwashed into
thinking that you Muslim women are oppressed. But truly, we are the ones who
are oppressed;slaves to fashions that degrade us, obsessed with our weight,
begging for love from men who do not want to grow up. Deep down inside, we know
that we have been cheated. We secretly admire and envy you, although some of us
will not admit it. Please do not look down on us or think that we like things
the way they are. It's not our fault. Most of us did not have fathers to
protect us when we were young because our families have been destroyed. You
know who is behind this plot. Don't be fooled, my sisters. Don't let them get
you too. Stay innocent and pure. We Christian women need to see what life is
really supposed to be like for women. We need you to set the example for us,
because we are lost. Hold onto your purity. Remember: you can't put the
toothpaste back in the tube. So guard your "toothpaste" carefully!I
hope you receive this advice in the spirit in which it is intended: the spirit
of friendship, respect, and admiration.From your Christian sister with love.
