In this episode, Brother Ali talks about a woman on a scrap metal billboard with a hot chili in her mouth and the effect this has on our society and society's perception of women. He also talks about the recent case of a young woman who was sexually objectified and raped by a police officer.
00:01:49.140I really want to know the question, what on earth does a metal company that does scrap metal have to do with a blonde woman who's dressed in a provocative way and has got a red chili in her mouth?
00:03:26.200Women are sexualized to such a point that a recent study showed that these women who are hired to do modeling,
00:03:32.780they prefer to be sexually objectified to items that are expensive.
00:03:37.040So I'm sure most likely out of that study shows that this woman on there would most likely would be not happy being on this advertising board
00:03:46.060because it's about metal, scrap metal.
00:03:47.760I mean, how low can you use a woman for scrap metal?
00:03:50.640Okay, that was one of the studies showed.
00:03:51.820The woman preferred to be sexually objectified for expensive stuff like Rolex or Gucci or Rolls Royce and stuff like that.
00:03:58.140However, brothers and sisters, and this is a reminder to everybody,
00:04:01.760when we dehumanize women and make them seem as nothing but sexual objects that they have to dress in miniskirts,
00:04:08.140show their cleavage, act a certain way, put lipstick on, get their lips filled, get their bum, their backside bigger,
00:04:15.420get their hips done, get their boobs done.
00:04:17.680All we've done is we've made a human being, a female human being,
00:04:21.820seem as if the only thing she has to offer is her sexual body, is her sexuality and her body parts, right?
00:04:28.120We know the pornography industry has already dehumanized them to such a level
00:04:32.660that even in these movies you see them, they are the ones at the receiving end, yeah?
00:04:37.420Being slapped around and all kind of disgusting things.
00:04:40.060The point is this, the reason I'm doing this video is because we need to point an end to this.
00:04:44.780If we don't, do not be surprised if you have men who are catcalling women, yeah?
00:04:49.620Because Allah tells us in the Quran, tell the believing men to lower their gates.
00:04:54.000So God Almighty is telling men how to behave.
00:04:56.260We are not told that women have to cover up because men can't control themselves.
00:05:00.780No, that might be a wisdom behind it, maybe, but that is not the reason.
00:05:04.980We are told we have to lower our gates regardless.
00:05:07.280As a Muslim man, even if a woman is dressed up naked in a miniskirt,
00:05:11.660I have to lower my gates and avoid it.
00:05:14.160That is the reason why when I confronted certain people at the far right,
00:05:16.960they were so keen on shaking my hand, they just wanted to have some kind of interaction with me.
00:05:21.140In Islam, we believe prevention is better than cure.
00:05:23.800That's the reason why I don't shake the hands of the opposite gender.
00:05:26.020I do not have friends with opposite gender because I know how God has created me.
