Red Pill Agitprop
When somebody tells you that there's a huge problem that you need to do something about and then they start telling you all of the things you need to do to fix the problem, the first thing you need to do is stop and check if the problem even exists. For example, it's incredibly difficult today for Muslims to get married. Okay. Either one of two things is true. One, it's incredibly difficult today for Muslims to get married.
Or number two, it's pretty much the same as it's always been, but people just whine about it more than they used to. Here are the facts. Globally, the rates of marriage in the Muslim world have declined slightly, but not significantly, and they still eclipse the rate of marriage among non Muslims. On average, the rate of marriage in the Muslim world is somewhere between seven to 10 marriages per 1,000 people of any given population. Compare that to non Muslims in The UK who are marrying at a rate of around two to three marriages per 1,000 people.
Last year, there were about 2,000,000 marriages in Indonesia with less than three hundred thousand divorces. The divorce rate in the Muslim world has gone up slightly, but not very much, and it's gone down in some countries in recent years. The highest rate of divorce in the Ummah is among the Muslim community in The United States, which is around three times as high as the highest divorce rate in the Muslim world, but it's still a little bit more than half the rate of divorce among non Muslims. Among non Muslim women in the West, only about a third of them self identify as feminists. So if you assume that there's an equivalent number of Muslim women who identify as feminists, which is implausible, you're still looking at about two thirds of Muslim women who do not identify as feminists.
And if you're talking that's in the West. So if you're talking about in the Muslim world, you'd be looking at more like one tenth who maybe identify as feminists. Muslims are getting married generally between the ages of 25, 29, mid to late twenties. Women are actually marrying at younger ages than men, not older. They're not delaying marriage.
The average age of a Muslim woman getting married anywhere in the world is generally younger than the man. In other words, this is not a serious problem. This is not a real problem. This is propaganda being fueled by people who like to complain more than previous generations did and by people who see those grievances as a business opportunity. We don't have a serious problem unless you have a problem with Muslims getting married and having babies.
Because the rate of marriage in the Muslim world and the birth rate still remains higher than pretty much anybody else. So if you have a problem with Muslims getting married and having babies, then you might want to oppose that by spreading propaganda about how impossible it is to get married. We can all see who might be interested in achieving an objective like that. The far right and the Islamophobes have for decades been screaming about the demographic problem, the demographic challenge of the growth of the Muslim community. So you might wanna spread discord and division between Muslim men and women, making them think that it's impossible to get married, kinda like dropping leaflets over an enemy army telling them that they've already been defeated so they may as well surrender.
Because the reality is we're fine. Okay. There is a segment of Muslims there's a segment of Muslim women who are feminists. There's a segment of Muslim women who are gold diggers. Just like there's a segment of Muslim men who are Tomasin, and there's a segment of Muslim men who are misogynists.
In the middle between these two, there is the overwhelming majority of perfectly normal, sane, stable, sensible Muslim men and women who are getting married every day and starting families. We are a middle nation, and the Muslims in the middle are doing just fine. So just stay away from the extremes on the two sides of the on the two opposite ends of the ideological spectrum and get on with your life.
