muslim girl Aqsa Parvez killed for not wearing hijab

***Amina Said (L), 18, and her sister Sarah, 17, were shot dead by their father Yaser at their home in Irving, Texas, in January 2008. Said was upset by his daughters' "Western ways" and was assisted in the killing by his wife, the girls' mother. The victims of honor killings are largely teenage daughters or young women. Unlike ordinary domestic violence, honor killings often involve multiple family members as perpetrators.***

These girls were not in a Muslim country yet they were killed by their "dads" because they didn't dress as he wanted so he got the family together and killed them. Were the girls in Mary's time killed by their family members because they refused to where a hijab? NO!

Are you willing to ask the reverse question? Will Muslim women ever grow past the need to wear a hijab? NO!

Why?

Islamic fundamentalism establishes its thesis on the differences between the sexes and the conclusion that the male is superior, and hence, the female is a slave at his service...

...Fundamentalism conceives of woman as sinister and satanic; she is the embodiment of sin and seduction. She must not step beyond her house, lest her presence in society breed sin. She must stay at home, serving her husband’s carnal desires; if she fails to comply, she is compelling her man to commit sin outside the home.

"A woman is wholly the possession of her husband, and her public life is conditional upon her husband’s consent."***

So a woman who is sick can't go to the hospital without her husband's permission according to those who enforce Sharia.

***The first step a woman must take in marriage, according to the existing Law, is to satisfy the "condition of the father’s consent"; if a father doesn’t want his daughter to marry, she — even if she is a forty-year-old university professor

...With the courts’ permission, a father can marry his daughter, even before the age of 13, to a 70 year old man.***

The prophet set the example. He married a 6 year old girl and had sex with her when she was 9. It would be wrong for any Muslim to say that it was wrong for a 50 year old man to marry and have sex with a 9 year old girl without going against the teaching of the prophet.

***A 13-year-old Yemeni girl who was forced into marriage died five days after her wedding when she suffered a rupture in her sex organs and hemorrhaging, a local rights organisation said today.

Ilham Mahdi al Assi died last Friday in a hospital in Yemen's Hajja province, the Shaqaeq Arab Forum for Human Rights said, quoting a medical report.***

Can you say Ilham Mahdi al Assi's husband loved and respected her or that she was a slave to his service serving her husband’s carnal desires or be accused of causing him to sin outside the home?

***a man can have 4 aghdi (permanently married) wives and infinite sighehi (temporarily married) wives.***

Was Mary the only woman her husband would know or be one of many. Those in Ottoman empire prove the limit is not 4.

***Quoting Mahin, the Iranian jurist, the Elle magazine reporter wrote in January 1997 about the life of a 9-year-old girl whose destitute parents arranged for her to be a sigheh. The man visits his temporary "wife" every weekend at her father’s house, for which privilege he pays her father about $12 per visit.***

Would Mary's father sell his daughter to guys willing to pay $12 per visit or did he value his daughter more than that?

Seriously, why talk about a head covering when a 9 year old girl can be forced into marrying a 50 year old man being a slave at his service including serving her husband’s carnal desires or be accused of compelling her man to commit sin outside the home? Or having her Dad collect $12 a visit from her temporary "husband"?

What dad would do these things? Certainly not Mary's dad...that is why she was still a virgin.

Overall meaning of Disgrace by JM Coetzee?

According to The Guardian, "[a]ny novel set in post-apartheid South Africa is fated to be read as a political portrait, but the fascination of Disgrace is the way it both encourages and contests such a reading by holding extreme alternatives in tension, salvation, ruin."[1] In the new South Africa, violence is unleashed in new ways, and Lurie and his daughter become victims, yet the main character is no hero, on the contrary he commits violence in his own way too. This characterization of violence by both the 'white' and the 'black' man parallels feelings in post-apartheid South Africa where evil does not belong to the 'other' alone. By resisting the relegation of each group into positive and negative poles Coetzee portrays the whole range of human capabilities and emotions. The novel takes its inspiration from South Africa's contemporary social and political conflict, and offers a bleak look at a country in transition. This theme of transition is represented in various forms throughout the novel, in David's loss of authority, loss of sexuality, in the change in power dynamics of groups that were once solely dominate or subordinate, in the shift in material wealth etc. This state of transition means that Coetzee cannot make concrete classifications for each character, again emphasizing that no one is wholly good or evil, but both.[2]

As in all of his mature novels, Coetzee here deals with the theme of exploitation. His favorite approach has been to explore the innocuous-seeming use of another person to fill one's gentler emotional needs.[3] This is a story of both regional and universal significance. The central character is a confusing person, at once an intellectual snob who is contemptuous of others and also a person who commits outrageous mistakes. His story is also local; he is a white South African male in a world where such men no longer hold the power they once did. He is forced to rethink his entire world at an age when he believes he is too old to change and, in fact, should have a right not to.[4] This theme, about the challenges of aging both on an individual and societal level, leads to a line, "No country, this, for old men," an ironic reference to the opening line of the W. B. Yeats poem, "Sailing to Byzantium". Furthermore, Lurie calls his preference for younger women a "right of desire", a quote taken up by South African writer André Brink for his novel "The Rights of Desire".

This is Coetzee's second book (after Life and Times of Michael K) where man is broken down almost to nothing before he finds some tiny measure of redemption in his forced acceptance of the realities of life and death.[5] Coetzee has always situated his characters in extreme situations that compel them to explore what it means to be human.[6] Though the novel is sparse in style, it covers a number of topics: personal shame, the subjugation of women, a changing country, animal rights, and romantic poetry and its symbolism.[7]

Another important theme in the novel is the difficulty or impossibility of communication and the limits of language. Although Lurie teaches communications at Cape Town Technical University and is a scholar of poetry, language often fails him. Coetzee writes:

Although he devotes hours of each day to his new discipline, he finds its first premise, as enunciated in the Communications 101 handbook, preposterous: 'Human society has created language in order that we may communicate our thoughts, feelings, and intentions to each other.' His own opinion, which he does not air, is that the origins of speech lie in song, and the origins of song in the need to fill out with sound the overlarge and rather empty human soul.[8]

A 2006 poll of "literary luminaries" by The Observer newspaper named the work as the "greatest novel of the last 25 years" of British, Irish or Commonwealth origin in years between 1980 and 2005.[9]

A film adaptation of Disgrace starring John Malkovich had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in 2008, where it won the International Critics' Award.
