Women are the Answer

Women are the Answer

I saw an article the other day in a newspaper that showed an Iranian woman in her traditional clothing but with a look of determination and a quote by the picture, “We are not afraid”…and a cold chill ran down my back.
Oh, the poor mullahs and other power holders of Iran…what have you gotten yourself into and how are you going to deal with this one.
Everyone knows the old quote, “When momma ain’t happy…” well I am not sure that Iran is ready for a whole bunch of unhappy mommas. Change is on the horizon, Iran, and you better get ready for it.
For too long the women of Islam have been held in bondage from a religious viewpoint that treats them not much different than chattel. Now there are those that would say that the Christian-Judeau religions do the same thing and that might be true to a certain extent but I do believe that these two religious orders have allowed themselves to evolve into a more modern approach or at least it seems so.
But Islam, a long male dominated religion, has come to a point of realization that you cannot suppress an entire class forever before they will finally rise up to take their place.
The current unrest in Iran might be controlled at this time but the internal pressure for change will not be diminished but will only simmer until it shows itself again, and it will and it will be sooner than this time.
So western democracies and other forms of governments that have felt the lash of the Islamic jihad against them have spent untold years trying to find a way to co-exist or defeat this mentality and there is really only one…women.
Women of Iran and all Islamic countries unite and be heard for it is your time to throw off the bonds, the fetters of your past and become full citizens of the world at large.
The time for women’s liberation has come to this part of the world and if you want to see a change in the “New World Order” especially in the Middle East then insert a little womanly thought to whether their men should be out fighting or making a living and supporting their families.
And once they are allowed to work, drive cars, be seen in public, hold the hand of the man that they love in public, and hold office and effect their thoughts and principals on their country and the world at large then and only then will the world really be in a place to truly judge this area of the world.
What the west has failed to see over the years is that we did not need to support the mujahedin but rather the ones that bore their children and make their meals.
Now, that might sound sexist but rather it is a first step in getting this part of the world in societal balance with the rest of the world. We cannot achieve any type of peace if one part of the equation is left out and women in the Middle East have definitely been left out but I have a feeling that is going to change and change real soon.
So power to the People of Iran and POWER to the WOMEN of Iran to go and finally seize that which has been yours all along but kept from you.
Women have shown their capabilities to lead and I think maybe it is time for more women world leaders so we can see what direction they will lead us. It can’t be any worse than the direction that we are headed.
