Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“MGM just one of the areas where religion and culture collide with modern society. Unsurprising teaching in a Mosque from an Imam. Though I note that the NSS leaves out the bit, reported elsewhere, where he says Husbands are to work and support the wives and family specially female relatives. I suppose the entertaining part is the clash between “multiculturalism” and at the same time insisting adherence to an orthodoxy. One of which is although women have free choice to do as they will, it is still the husband’s responsibility to work and earn money to support the whole family, even if he’s kicked out of his home and excluded from seeing his children. So orthodox an idea that I suspect no one will object to the Koran’s teachings that men should be husbands and lead their family by supporting it through working hard.
The cheeky part of me wonders if the latest Green MP, a declared feminist and admirer of the “strong women” of the feminist movements. Has seen this and reflects on the “Muslim” block vote that put her there. Will there come a time when the price of that vole will be more than spouting slogans about Gaza? For instance Jess Phillip’s tarnished halo as it become evident, to the women themselves, that her crusade for “women and girls” doesn’t extend to those victimised by Grooming Gangs…. just in case the Muslim vote gets the extra few hundred votes that will lose her her seat. Turns out “multiculturalism” works in complex ways.”
