Anger in France after attacks on Muslim women | Socialist Worker

By Sellouma

June 18, 2013

Thousands of protesters gathered outside the town hall in Argenteuil near Paris on Friday of last week. They were enraged and upset after a series of racist attacks against Muslim women.

Rabia, a young woman who wears the hijab, had been beaten by the fascists, but the mayor and police pressured her not to file a complaint. A second woman was violently arrested for wearing a niqab. People who defended her were also taken into custody.

The assaults went further last weekend when a pregnant woman wearing the hijab was beaten in the stomach. Her attacker also cut her hair. There are reports that she has since miscarried as a result of the beating.

The demonstration was the biggest expression of determination and action against Islamophobia in France for a long time. Groups of people were debating politics at a high level—it felt like a small Tahrir Square.

We urgently need to build an anti-fascist and anti-racist movement that is clear against Islamophobia—and what is happening in Argenteuil is an example to follow.

Unity march planned

A number of trade union federations and left wing and anti racist organisations are supporting a united national demonstration against fascism in Paris on Sunday of this week.

It was called in response to the killing of student Clément Méric by fascist thugs earlier this month.

Meanwhile the fascist Front National pushed the ruling Socialist Party into third place in the first round of a by-election near Bordeaux. It was called to elect a replacement for former Socialist budget minister Jérome Cahuzac who was forced to resign after his secret Swiss bank account was revealed.

This brings the government’s majority down to just three MPs. The Front National is now set to face the Tory UMP in the second round.

“Avoid living with expectations. Don’t expect your friends to be there for you. Don’t expect your family to love you unconditionally. Don’t expect to be successful. Don’t expect to be healthy. Don’t expect to reach Heaven. Instead, work hard at being that person that is always there for his/her friends. Work hard at loving your family, whether they love you back or not. Work hard at becoming successful through seeking your happiness. Work hard and make sacrifices to take care of your body, mind, and soul. Work hard and do whatever it grow into a better person and believer, in order to reach Heaven. Hold yourself accountable for being the best you can be. You have control over yourself, not others. Be your best, treat others the best you can, and be happy with knowing that the good you project into the world will one day come back to you. Just be patient.”

“Some people will come on the Day of Judgement and their Imaan will be outstanding, its light will shine from their chests and from their right hands. So it will be said to them, ‘glad tidings for you today, assalamu ‘alaikum and goodness for you, enter into Jannah forever!’ So the Angels and the Prophets will be jealous of the Love of Allah for them. “So the Sahabah asked, “Who are they, Ya Rasoolullah? “He replied,” They are not from us and they are not from you. You are my companions but they are my beloved. They will come after you and will find the Quran made redundant by the people, and a Sunnah which has been killed by them. So they will grab hold of the Book and the Sunnah and revive them. So they read them and teach them the Qur’aan and the Sunnah to the people and they will experience in that path a punishment more severe and more ugly than what you, O Sahabah have experienced. Indeed the Imaan of one of them is equivalent to the Imaan of forty of you. The Shaheed of one of them is equivalent to forty of your Shuhadaa’. Because you found a helper towards the truth and they will find no helper towards the truth. So they will be surrounded by tyrant rulers in every place, and they will be in the surroundings of Bait-ul-Maqdis. The Nussrah of Allah will come to them, and they will have the honour of it on their hands. “Then he said, “O Allah, give them the Nussrah and make them my close friends in Jannah.”

- The Prophet (saw)

This hadith is recorded in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad as Hasan and Hafiz al Haytami said it was Hasan in Al Majmu az-Zawai’d (via passerby93)

“When Allah granted Prophet Yoosuf (`alayhis-Salaam) physical beauty it caused him to be locked up in the prison; but when Allah granted him knowledge (when he interpreted the dream of the king) it not only took him out of prison, but elevated his rank in society, clearly showing us the virtue of knowledge and that physical beauty does not mean anything.”

- Ibn al Qayyim [Al-‘Ilm wa Fadhluhu wa Sharafuhu p. 32] (via ibnulqayyim)
