All Advocates for Muslim Women Have Same Severe Blind Spot

The beautiful former CNN anchor is the person I must thank for pointing out to me the ugly reality of this one main damaging Blind Spot. Her delightful small picture was smiling from beside her April 4, 2011 Seattle Times syndicated column entitles, “Women Are Not Collateral Damage.” The perceptive article was about what is happening to women during Middle East wars. As soon as I began reading her column, it was obvious that she was a compassionate advocate for victimized Muslim women. They must no longer be treated as necessary victims during Mid East wars, but as valuable human beings.

To prove her point about how Muslim women were being treated as unfortunate objects getting in the way of important U.S. military goals in these wars, she quoted different State Department Officials.

“Yes, well the women. Too bad about the women. They'll suffer.”

“We hate it of course, but what can one do? It isn't in our strategic interest to save the women and children of the world?”

Or, as an anonymous senior White House Official recently told the Washington Post:

“Gender issues are going to have to take a back seat to other priorities. There is no way we can be successful if we maintain every special interest and pet project. All these pet rocks in our rucksack were taking us down.” Yes, you read correctly. A senior White House official equated Middle East women with pet rocks.

After listing these distasteful assumptions about how the welfare of women must not be a priority, the courageous writer, Kathleen Parker, challenges U.S. assumptions as quite probably being false.

Her words: “But what if this is a false premise? What if saving women from cultures that treat them as chattel was in our strategic interest and not just moral interest? What if helping women become equal members of a society was the most reliable route to our own security?”

With your willingness to challenge these U.S. centric assumptions rather than to blindly accept them, Kathleen Parker, you demonstrate that you are on a role and are truly getting somewhere. But suddenly BAAM! You yourself make a major assumption that leads you straight down a dead end path. You assume that by convincing stuck in the mud present U.S. beaurocrats to adopting different values about especially Mid East Muslim women, that entire culture can possibly be turned around. And that is your major blind spot.

What you fail to realize is that a whole new way of thinking, that is a fresh dynamic Muslim society impacting paradigm, must be found. And this new paradigm will only be found by looking in new places and not looking in the same old places. And that is another of your Blind Spots. You appear to fail to factor into your important considerations the compelling necessity to uncover the undiscovered and to find something that you are not even looking for. You appear to not realize that an entirely new paradigm is crying out to be discovered if any meaningful progress is to be made for these precious Muslim women.

In order for dedicated change agents such as yourself to pull off such a dramatic change in paradigms, necessary servants of society's women must uncover a dynamic, wise leader who has skills and has access to resources that are even well beyond those available to a former CNN anchor who is now a dynamic, insightful, dedicated, passionate, syndicated columnist.

Now hold on to your computer Ms. Parker! I will now introduce you to one more major blind spot that virtually everyone has. And this blind spot/person is hiding right out in the open in the Middle East. Simultaneously, he is even now mysteriously looking over your shoulder as you do your typing. This one particular blind spot is truly a unique person who no one appears to be considering to be suitable to play a major role in improving the position of now kicked around women in the Middle East. Yet, he is now a living available unique person who is very well known. Nevertheless, he is simultaneously being totally ignored. He is being considered to be totally irrelevant to the nuts and bolts problems which are crying out to be solved for women in the Middle East. He is being ignored even though he has far more relevant experience in the Middle East than any other living person. In fact, his sleeves are now rolled up and he is eager to wade into the problems that need to be solved. Yet, he is disgracefully treated as though he does not exist. Nevertheless, he is patiently waiting. He is quite eager for his standing offer to use his considerable expertise and to use his unique connection with a powerful authority. All of this for the benefit of Middle East Muslim Women.

But can you believe it? His generous offer is on the table. But no one realizes that he has made his generous offer to use his many resources for the benefit of Middle East Muslim Women. But even though he has been shamefully snubbed, he still patiently offers to use his considerable expertise and resources in order to powerfully help Muslim women in the Middle East.

Amazing Work Experience

Astonishingly, because he is so eminently qualified to be the only person who is truly empowered to help Muslim women achieve the kind of dignity and well being that the very Creator of the Universe intends for them to enjoy, virtually everyone probably including yourself appears to be too threatened by his broad work experience. Yes, he has so many misunderstood abilities that everyone including yourself passive aggressively will not take him seriously. You wrongly view him as irrelevant and aloof. You literally leap to write him off. So you treat him as a sort of relic from the past or as an irrelevant anachronism.

The Blind Spot of Missing ALLAH's Own Masterful Messiah

But, oh Ms. Syndicated columnist, I assure you that GOD/ALLAH's born of a virgin, now adult living man from Bethlehem is any thing but a useless, out of date anachronism. In total contrast to that absurd stereotype, he is now a living, dynamic, very concerned, exceptionally aware and a compassionate living man. Yes, he is a uniquely experienced living personality in the Arab Muslim Middle East. But his main disadvantage seems to be that he is physically invisible. Nevertheless, I rush to add that he is not spiritually invisible. In reality, he has many unique ways of making his presence and influence powerfully known when and if he is offered the opportunity and is taken seriously.

But Ms. Kathleen, excuse me for being so familiar as addressing you by your first name. But I am almost old enough to be your grandfather (78). From your brilliant column which reveals your heart felt compassion for the discouraging plight of Muslim women and your willingness to challenge archaic, counter productive political correctness, I feel that I partially understand what makes you tick. I'm really encouraged by your passion to radically change the present perception of the value of Muslim women, both by Muslim men and by American conductors of the present wars against Islam. Thus, by extension, our leaders are de facto against Muslim women.

I too do not perceive myself as a person who underestimates the value of these precious women.

Significantly, my now deceased wife and I were blessed with four daughters and one son. We also now have six granddaughters, but only one grandson. And uniquely, while my wife and I were accompanied by each of our five children for at least part of our over three years in totally Muslim Saudi Arabia, I began personally observing the plight of Saudi Muslim women in the three separate cities of Riyadh, Jeddah, and Taif when I was employed there in 1976-1978. But significantly, the disadvantages for precious Saudi women are in my mind less extreme and debilitating as in certain other Muslim nations though they are significant.

I was employed for a year with the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Riyadh as an Orientation Coordinator for new Western employees at this very unique modern hospital. Then I filled in for a few months as a counselor for the Riyadh International School. After that temporary position, I was fortunate enough to spend over a year and a half employed by a mostly Saudi Company but due to our company leaders loosing favor with a powerful Saudi Prince our company's contract was terminated in 1979. Our company's task had been to provide nourishing canned lunches for the school boys of the Kingdom which were prepared in Switzerland by Nestle of Switzerland. They were then disturbed by our company to all the boys' schools throughout the entire Kingdom. The majority of my time with SAFE (Saudi Arabian Food Establishment), I was fortunate enough to work with mainly mid level young Saudi men in both helping elevate their English skills and in being the Personal Director of the Ta'if region.

I will say that working with these young Saudi men was a very pleasurable experience. These caring young men constantly treated both my family and myself with great respect. That was true whether they were the fairly well educated mid-management employees in SAFE company or they were the much less educated employees that I sometimes taught English to who served in the Hospital motor pool in Riyadh. In the times I had opportunity to observe these Saudi men's' interactions with both Muslim women and western women, my observations were that they consistently treated women with respect.

The extreme exception that I observed who did not treat women and girls with respect seemed to be the religious police whom I will refer to as the prayer police. The most disgusting example of these men's low regard for women and girls was not an event that I personally observed. Rather, it was an event that was well publicized in various newspapers. I'm certain this tragedy that occurred was as disgusting to the vast majority of Saudis and to everyone else who heard about it as it was to me.

I am relatively certain that even this disgusting incident would not have occurred in Saudi Arabia if it were not for the religious extremism that was mainly introduced in 1979 to much of the Middle East including to Saudi Arabia was by Iran's dictatorial and influential Ayatollah Khomeini and his society impacting Islamic Revolution.

The tragic incident I will now describe of a number of innocent young school girls needlessly being burned to death was 100% the fault of the brainwashed Saudi prayer police. A school for younger teen age girls had caught fire. But the girls had adequate time to flee the smoke and flames, had not the over zealous religious prayer police quickly arrived on the chaotic scene. When these authoritarian very rigidly religious men saw that many of the girls were fleeing to the public street without their required head coverings, the prayer police ordered the terrified girls back into the smoke and flames in order to find their required head scarves known as hijabs. As a catastrophic result, numerous girls could not locate their hijabs due to the flames, the dense, choking smoke and the panic. So among the terrifying screams, numerous young innocent girls were burned to death.

In my mind, these calloused Saudi religious authorities treated ridiculous rules as far more important than precious human lives.

Significantly, the atrocious actions of these Saudi prayer police was not that much different than the calloused activities of many Jewish priests which greatly angered Jesus/Isa that he encountered in Jerusalem during his negative encounters with the rigid calloused Jewish religious system during his days on earth.

To the Saudi government's credit, a huge outcry was raised against the prayer police but regretfully none of them were prosecuted. Nor, did this horrible tragedy ease the strangle hold that the extreme and powerful Wahhibi religious faction holds over the anti-women regulations in Saudi Arabia that are severely holding back women in Saudi society.

I actually see the strangle hold that Islamic extremists have over the Saudi religious system as somewhat similar to how the Obama haters such as Glen Beck, Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh, and the Sun Tan man, John Boehner, Michelle Bockman, and Sarah Palin, as well as many militaristic neo-cons, have a strangle hold over much of the political process in the U.S. These calloused persons would gladly sacrifice poor women's health needs on the sacred altar of their own selfish political agendas in a similar way that Saudi religious extremists willingly sacrifice the legitimate needs of Saudi Muslim women on the sacred altar of their own distorted religious beliefs.

My Own Prayer Key

In my off hours while working for a predominantly Saudi company when I was not preoccupied in attempting to provide for the needs of my family, I would often take long prayer walks on the edge of the desert. There, in total silent isolation, I pled with GOD to help me understand the teachings of the Qur'an in such a way so as to help Muslims understand more fully how to have His Risen Messiah, who is often spoken of in the Qur'an, become more of a part of the personal lives of Muslims and of the Islamic community and culture. Thus, as a result of an increased understanding of ALLAH's and their own Qur'an's Risen man by more and more Muslims and a deeper appreciation of his Risen compassion this would have a cumulative impact on Islamic culture which of course would greatly benefit Muslim women and girls.

My consistent imploring prayers on behalf of both Muslim women and Muslim men motivated my increased reading of the Qur'an in English, especially in order to gain insight into how GOD's Risen Messiah could be understood by Muslims as powerfully, spiritually, residing in their midst.

As a relevant example, in pre Christopher Columbus days, virtually all of the world's people assumed that the world was flat. Similarly, today virtually everyone in Islam is living under the false assumption, due to their distorted understanding of one verse in the Qur'an that the Messiah neither died nor was he raised from death. Therefore, Muslims have no realization of his important risen presence among them today. But that is a totally wrong assumption of what that verse is intended to mean. This must be true because another statement in the Qur'an by ALLAH Himself in Al-Im'ran 3:55 definitely confirms the Messiah having both died and risen. So that interpretation of the Qur'an that Jesus did not die and so was not raised alive is definitely not correct get it is a false assumption by all Muslims. Regrettably, this totally wrong belief is pervasively assumed to be correct by one billion, five hundred million now living Muslims. Therefore, this blatantly wrong belief is at the root of much for the vulnerable women of Islam. Truth is truth and what is truth is not a decision that is based on numbers. So despite what millions of Muslims have been misled to believe that the Qur'an teaches, the Qur'an's very alive Messiah is now definitely living in their midst.

Nevertheless, because so many male Muslim leaders are so intimidating on what they say truth is, no matter what ALLAH Himself declares in the Qur'an's Al-Im'ran 3:55 about Isa/Jesus dying and His raising him alive, Muslims remain misled. Despite the documented evidence in the Qur'an, these rigid, powerful, intimidating leaders do not allow Muslims to accept what ALLAH Himself said is the truth about Jesus' death and resurrection, So regretfully these male religious leaders have successfully manipulated and coerced all of Islam to reject and neglect the authoritative statement by ALLAH Himself that the world's only Messiah, Christianity's only Messiah, Islam's only Messiah and finally the Qur'an's only Messiah (who is all one and the same Messiah), that this historical Messiah did both die and did rise. Furthermore, he is now alive and well and in the midst of Muslims. Wonderfully, he now compassionately desires to come to the aid of Muslim women.

Any one who has read the four Gospels is aware that Jesus himself was constantly getting into deep trouble with the male controlled and male dominated Jewish power structure. They deeply hate him for his sensitivity to both women and to others for how he constantly came to their aid. And he continually broke their rigid rules while doing so. So he was personally treating women with much deeper respect than they were unaccustomed to being treated by the calloused Jewish authorities.

Now Ms. Kathleen, does this denial of the resurrection in Islam and denial of his resurrection in the Qur'an, negatively impact women in Islam? You better believe that this unreasonable, anti-Qur'an demand by male Muslim leaders for women to not believe that ALLAH's now living Messiah is residing in their midst, has a devastating impact on the perceived position of women in Islam? Does this false demand to wrongly believe that the Messiah did not historically die and was not historically raised from death to be a living presence among Muslim women today, have a negative psychological impact on Muslim women? Of course it does. It has a very devastating affect on Muslim women's morale.

Just listen to how clear ALLAH's message is in the Qur'an's Al-Im'ran 3:55 about the facts of His only Messiah's death and resurrection, and by implication, his present accessibility to women (unless he is just relaxing in heaven while he passively watched observes second class women struggle on earth under the thumb of Muslim men.)

Al-Im'ran 3:55: “And ALLAH said, O Isa/Jesus! I will cause you to die (the Arabic verb mutawafiik mean to cause you to die) and raise you to myself.”

Think about the implications of this one magnification key verse regarding of ALLAH's Messiah being present in Islam especially in order to encourage, empower, and comfort Muslim women. Regretfully, it is definitely in the interests of the dominating male majority in Islam for the intimidating, powerful male leaders to suppress this reality. That the Qur'an's most logical understanding is that the Qur'an's Messiah, by ALLAH's empowerment, defeated both death and the oppressive, rejecting Jewish apparatus. Therefore, he has not only been raised by ALLAH, but is today accessible to aid, empower and encourage Muslim women. Even though it may be mainly a sub conscious desire, Muslim men do not want this truth to be publicly known. This is not a glass ceiling in Islam. It's a cement ceiling against Muslim women.

This up to now male suppressed truth, when known, believed, and embraced by women will overwhelmingly shift the numbers balance in Islam to be strongly in women's favor. Do you think most Muslim men will welcome that eventually? Of course not! Women realizing that the compassionate justice oriented Messiah being sensitive to their legitimate needs will give women an equity that most Muslim men do not want women to have. So of course, up until now in male dominated Islam, the majority of male Muslims have fought tooth and nail to maintain their extreme male Muslim numerical advantage. This is perpetuated by GOD's Risen Messiah, the Qur'an's Risen Messiah, the New Testament's Risen Messiah and Christianity's Risen Messiah being to deceptively and unfairly prevented from being in a recognized position to be an effective advocate for Muslim women in Islam.

So, oh women Muslims everywhere, and fair-minded male Muslims, and all advocates for women. Please embrace this relevant truth of GOD's Messiah and the Qur'an's Messiah being present among Muslim's today.

It is absolutely ludicrous to attempt to advocate for justice and fairness in behalf of Muslim women, and simultaneously ridiculously and counter productively leave the Risen Messiah man out of the equation. Because he obviously has more personal investment and more personal integrity and resources to aid women than any other person in the Middle East. And when Muslim men become aware that one reason the Qur'an's Risen Messiah is spiritually and comprehensively present in the midst of Muslim men is in order to hold men accountable for how so many ill treat precious Muslim women. Thus, the position of Arab Muslim women will radically improve in the Middle East and in Islam in general will continue to improve when the Risen, Compassionate Messiah of both the Qur'an and the New Testament comes to be broadly recognized as having a decisive and empowering presence in the midst of Islamic culture and society.

But now all Muslims are virtually unanimous in rejecting the Messiah's death and thus his supernatural resurrection and his pervasive presence among Muslims. Of course, if his resurrection is totally rejected, than it automatically follows that the now living Messiah will not be available to have an encouraging, liberating, and empowering role among women who vitally need his encouragement and his empowerment. Just as important, if the living presence of the Messiah, who according to both the Qur'an and the New Testament did most certainly die and rise and is now accessible, this wonderful reality will have a dynamic impact on the welfare of Muslim women today. Thus, attempting to empower Muslim women while ignoring the dynamics of the Risen Messiah's presence is ludicrous.

What our Risen Messiah empowered me to figure out through my consistent, fervent, intense prayer combined with a reading of the many passages in the Qur'an related to the Qur'an's Messiah, was this. An extremely significant blind spot has not only gripped the minds of virtually one billion five hundred million sincerely wrong Muslims, but also has held in bondage the minds of the world's Christians concerning the Qur'an's Messiah who is GOD's only Messiah.

That BLIND SPOT is that no one and I mean NO ONE that I have been able to locate, more than marginally realizes that there is only one most logical key to penetrating Arab Muslim culture in order to aid especially Muslim women. A new paradigm that will most certainly offer the major contribution to improving the overall attitude toward liberating and empowering Muslim women in the Arab Muslim culture is this key. The Qur'an makes it exceptionally clear that it is absolutely legitimate to realize that the Qur'an should be understood to teach that the Qur'an's Risen Messiah is not only available to come to the aid of Muslim women today. But also that he is absolutely eager to come to their aid.

I personally find that it is both sad and counterproductive that Christian workers among Muslims seem to be locked into concentrating on a predominately rather narrow individual sort of soul saving mentality. While there is no doubt that it brings GOD great delight when that person Muslim or otherwise, receives spiritual healing from ALLAH when the person chooses to spiritually embrace ALLAH's Risen Man from now occupied West Bank Bethlehem. But I also truly believe that great beliefs of liberating enlightenment will impact Muslim women in particular when this new reality becomes broadly known among Arab Muslims and this precious truth penetrates their culture. That the Qur'an emphatically teaches that the Qur'an's Risen Messiah is available to decisively impact Muslim culture today. But this reality will not become broadly known until both Muslim women and Western advocates for Muslim women realize that there will be profound resistance from male dominated Islam and also by culturally submissive women to this new reality. Consequently, this vital truth of the accessibility of the Qur'an's now Risen Messiah will continue to be suppressed and ignored and not become public knowledge until there is a more open recognition of how strong the resistance will be by both Muslim men and compliant Muslim women to not allow the Qur'an's Risen, accessible Messiah to empower Muslim women.

The resistance of Muslim women to being liberated and empowered reminds me of the resistance that the courageous liberator, Harriet Tubman, encountered when she secretly tried to help oppressed slaves escape from the South. But many of especially the women resisted escaping because they were afraid of freedom. But Harriet Tubman, a former slave herself, tried hard to convince them that their lives would be much better off when they achieved freedom.

And like the freed slave states, many of the oppressed Muslim women in many nations will have much more meaningful lives when they truly embrace their Qur'an's Risen Messiah and he helps relieve them from an oppression and second class citizenship as Muslims that the Qur'an and its Risen Messiah do not intend for them to have.

It is observable that as it stands now, Muslim leaders and Muslim men are very much in control of the women in the Muslim Mid East and many women are content to have men as dominant because that is the only life they have known. So they assume that this is the negative existence that ALLAH intends they endure.

The women remain unaware that the Qur'an has opened a door through which ALLAH's Risen Messiah is able to walk through and enter into their hearts, into their homes, into their mosques and even into their cultures.

But the men in Islam are resistant to this new bonding by women with the Qur'an's Risen Messiah occurring because at least sub consciously the men realize that the over 50% of the population which is 750 million Muslim women, is a far more valuable resource to be in control of than are the rivers of oil that are under the sands of the Mid East. So there is no way that the men of Islam are willing to easily give up de facto control of Muslim women though admitting to a proper understanding of Al-Im'ran 3:55 and An-Nisa 4:157 and 158 that reveals that the Qur'an's Messiah is Risen and so is accessible to encourage and even rescue Muslim women today. So please o women of Islam! And please o advocates for women of Islam. Recognize the counterproductive blind spot of marginalizing the Qur'an and the New Testament's historical Living Messiah. So embrace GOD's Now Living Messiah for he loves Muslim women and all women and men very much.

The May 'Newsweek' Excellent Article on Courageous Saudi Women

To be honest, in my three years in Saudi Arabia ending in 1978, my personal contact with Saudi women was very limited and almost non existent. So my main observation of Saudi men's attitude and interactions with women were the Saudi men's interactions with women who were not Saudi and were not even Muslim Arab women.

Nevertheless, in reading the May 9, 2011 Newsweek magazine, I truly wanted to weep at how desperately the women of Saudi Arabia need the help of the Qur'an's Risen Messiah whom they do not realize he is residing in their midst. And especially do the virtually widowed wives of thousands of male political prisoners who are locked often quite unjustly in Saudi prisons with little hope of being released, yet virtually no way for the women to make an affective protest without ending up in prison themselves.

Public Prayer Protests to the Risen Messiah

The most practical advice that I have for these desperate, unjustly treated Saudi women is this.

1. Read your own Qur'an's Al-Im'ran 3:55 in Arabic and think carefully about how this verse definitely teaches that ALLAH Himself taught that Isa would die and He Himself raise him up alive.

2. Although you have been manipulated and brainwashed by the religious authorities into wrongly understanding that An-Nisa 4:157 must be understood that the Qur'an's Messiah and the Injeel's Messiah and ALLAH's Messiah was not temporarily killed and therefore did not rise from death. But these leaders are flat out wrong because hr did temporarily die and therefore did definitely rise from death as the first part of Al-Im'ran 3:55 definitely teaches.

3. Then get together as women without men and pray about what Al-Qur'an truly teaches about what the Qur'an's Messiah dying and rising. Because you women have been brainwashed into a wrong belief for so many years, many women will have trouble believing for a while what ALLAH is truly teaching in Al-Im'ran 3:55 about the Messiah dying and being raised alive by ALLAH.

4. As soon as you read this paper download this paper very quickly and translate the whole paper into Arabic because the Saudi authorities are going to be more afraid of what ALLAH has taught you in this paper about His Messiah defeating death and the Jews then he is about your husbands fighting for democracy because the Qur'an's Risen Messiah has far more power to free women than democracy has. So the authorities may soon choose your access to this web site.

5. Don't be concerned about debating with your husbands about believing the truth of Al-Im'ran 3:55 for it will be ALLAH who will convince them at the right time.

6. Then, after praying considerably just as women where and when ALLAH will lead you to start praying publicly, silently, and later out loud. Always standing together on the truth of ALLAH's statement in Al-Im'ran 3:55 keeping your stand very simple and saying the Qur'an's Risen Messiah Isa is with you.

7. Know that the Qur'an's Risen Messiah and ALLAH are with you and when you doubt which you sometimes will, deep praying alone and with other women.

8. May ALLAH and His Risen Messiah be with you and your families and your friends and especially with your Muslim sister.

9. Please realize there are already Muslims both men and women who have become personally committed to the Qur'an's Risen Messiah totally on the basic of what they have read in the Qur'an about him without ever reading the Injeel. For instance, here is an excerpt from a prayer letter about the secret faith in the Risen Isa-al Messiah of a practicing Iman in war torn Iraq.

“By the time C. met, he had been a believer (in the Qur'an's Risen Messiah) for fifteen years. Amazingly, he came to Christ through what he could learn about Jesus from reading the Qur'an. Since then because of distrust and corruption in the ethnic-Christian Iraqi church he has lived without fellowship or a Bible.”

10. If the women of Islam in Saudi Arabia and beyond will send e-mails to the author of the Newsweek article on the Muslim women of Saudi Arabia addressed to Mike Giglio c/o the dailybeast.com and to the syndicated columnist, Kathleen Parker at kathleenparker@washpost.com urging them in compassion to mention in one of their articles Al-Im'ran 3:55 in the Qur'an's Risen Messiah and his availability to come to the aid of Muslim women.

11. Please pray about the wonderful implications of the message of ALLAH getting out from Al-Im'ran 3:55. If the knowledge of the content of that one Quranic verse could get out to thousands of women and possibly men in Saudi Arabia it could drive the calloused authority's majnoon/crazy and some of them might even have the ridiculous suggestion that all of the Arabic Qur'an's in Saudi Arabia be collected so that the Muslim women in the Muslim Kingdom of Saudi would not get the Qur'an's Risen Messiah on their side to help out pressure on the government to free the unjustly held political prisoners. (Please read a very early paper on my web site in both English and Arabic entitled, “Will the Qur'an's Messiah Be Allowed to Visit Mecca: in either English or Arabic about the Saudi authorities tremendous fear of the wonderful influence of the Qur'an's compassionate Risen Messiah.

Sweet Grapes Compared with Sour Lemons

There will be those who will say that I have oversimplified. By my suggesting that for the Qur'an's Risen Messiah to be openly recognized as being in the midst of today's Muslims, they say would not make any significant difference in how Muslim women are treated by Muslim men and by Muslim culture. They say that in the U.S. for example, the Messiah is generally recognized as being risen, but very few take his presence seriously and that especially on Super Bowl Sunday it is known that many beer drinking men use that game as an excuse to abuse their wives, they caring mothers of their children.

But I submit that that comparison is not valid and is like comparing sweet grapes with sour lemons. You see, Islam is a religion intensive societal atmosphere. In contrast, Christianity, from my observation does not dominate American Christian's thinking as Islam dominates Muslims' thinking. For example, in the Middle East, I hope so is literally expressed by saying if GOD wills. And the way to usually express good bye is by saying, ALLAH be with you. And when you are drinking for instance in the evening in the countryside in Jordan, you will often by able to view from your car window at least five somewhat similar appearing green lit minarets. And virtually everywhere you are at the time of any of the five prayer call times you will hear the call to prayer being broadcast from a loud speaker from the minaret. So I am sating that in a Muslim dominant society, people are constantly aware of the pervasiveness of religious influence and the power of the Islamic beliefs.

In contrast, when I was playing Santa Claus for small children during the Christian Season in the school where I was employed as a counselor I was forbidden by the school principal from saying to the small children. Rather I was only permitted to greet these children with the totally religious neutral “Happy Holidays”. But the very night that my principal gave me these religious neutral orders about not mentioning the name of Christ at Christmas, I attended a public basketball game at the University of Washington. And three or four times when the opposing coach disagreed with the referees, he would shout out the name of the Messiah in profanity by shouting Jesus Christ so though most people could hear his blasphemy no one including myself had the courage to publicly criticize him. Furthermore, Easter which used to be a religious holiday and described by the term Easter Holiday has now been mostly replaced with Spring Holiday to make certain that it has no connection with the New Testament's Messiahs resurrection. This is so no one will be offended in our pluralistic society. In fact, children in shopping malls get their pictures taken with small fake rabbits in celebration of Easter which has absolutely no connection with the Messiah's supernatural being raised by GOD from death.

In contrast in 94% Muslim Jordan it is even common for Muslims to show respect to the resurrection of the Messiah which Muslims do not believe in, to greet Jordanian minority Christians with Happy Easter! So I am emphatically asserting that the U.S. is mainly a post Christian society except in parts of our militaristic military where non Christians have been disrespectfully coerced to attend overtly Christian proselytizing meetings. But often in the U.S., except for Christianity strong support of militarism and anti abortion stance the direct influence of the Risen Christ on people's values has observably become must less.

But I sincerely submit that when it gets out in the open that many Muslim male leaders reverse themselves and embrace the Qur'an's Messiah as being Risen, this change will have a profound de facto influence especially on he way that Muslim women are treated and valued.

A Glorious Triumph for Muslim Women

Regretfully Christianity in the U.S. has mostly replaced a Triumphant Risen Messiah with killer drones and other technically advanced weapons. In a refreshing contrast wise Mid East Muslims are about to bring about a glorious victory for Muslim women. Islam in the exploited Mid East will replace their Messiah who supposedly fled from death with the Qur'an's own courageous, conquering Messiah who has a unique compassion for bruised, exploited Muslim women and he knows that each of them is deeply loved by ALLAH.
