Does Ilhan Omar know this? Does Linda Sarsour? Of course they do. They are being used in the U.S. to help soften resistance to the same sharia Haroon Sultan is discussing here, to make it seem as if it is less misogynistic than it really is. But the hijabs that they wear on their heads tell a different story: it’s a symbol of their second-class status and responsibility to prevent men from being tempted. Misogyny is deeply embedded in Islamic texts.
“‘Haram’ To Cast Votes For Women: Pakistan Ex Social Welfare Minister,” Press Trust of India, July 3, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate for the July 25 general election and former Punjab province minister Haroon Sultan has sparked a controversy by terming it “haram” to cast votes for women.
ADVERTISEMENTHaroon Sultan, who has served as minister for social welfare in the previous tenure of the PML-N government in Punjab, is contesting elections from the National Assembly constituency NA-184 against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s female candidate Zehra Basit Sultan Bukhari, who is also reportedly his sister-in-law.
Addressing a rally in his constituency in Muzaffargarh, Haroon Sultan said he will follow the directions of religion and will abstain from casting a vote to any female candidates as it is considered “haram” (forbidden in Islam), The News reported.
“I will work under the commands of Allah and His messenger…and will desist from doing the contrary,” he added….
Voting is a constitutional right in Pakistan, but millions of women have been prevented from exercising their franchise by men using outdated customs.
