The Islamization of the Red Pill
When people employ obtuse language using words that have very subjective definitions in most people's minds, like, say, justice or equality or for that matter, real men or strength or leadership. You don't really know what they mean by what they're saying. We know what all of those words mean to us, but we don't necessarily know the way that person is defining them when they use them. It's only when you get into details that you find out where they really stand. Every Muslim, for instance, says that they follow Quran and Sunnah, but it's only when you start discussing specific issues that you start to see how different people define following Quran and Sunnah in different ways.
So what I'm detecting in the Muslim manosphere is that there is a contingent of people who believe that following Quran and Sunnah in terms of gender relations is essentially the same thing as following red pill theory. That is, even if they overtly reject Red Pill theory, they don't actually fundamentally disagree with it. Their objection is because they think Islam was Red Pill before Red Pill came along and they just dislike adopting secular terminology. They don't fundamentally reject the notion of hypergamy, for example, because after all in Islam men are obliged to provide for women so it just makes sense that women would approach marriage materialistically and try to get what they refer to as a high value male. Islam is patriarchal.
Men are qawam over women. So to them, that affirms the appropriateness of holding women in low regard and treating them as objects. Said that one of the reasons to marry a woman is her beauty, so they think that the red pill concept of sexual market value on physical attractiveness is valid. Red pill theory tells them that women's education is essentially bad for them and hinders marriage as does pursuing a career, and Islam says that the best place for women is in their homes, so on and so on. So in fact, they already hold a red pill interpretation of Islam.
That's why so many people were exhilarated by the clip of Andrew Tate in which he basically said Islam is a great religion because it keeps women's necks securely under men's feet. Some people invited Tate to Islam on this basis, essentially saying, if you genuinely are interested in oppressing women, you should take your shahada because Muslims do it best. These are the types of people who accuse Muslim women of being feminists even if all they're doing or all they're advocating are things that are within their rights under Sharia. If she goes to university, she's a feminist. If she has a job, she's a feminist.
If she wants a high mahr, she's a feminist. If she has any standards whatsoever in choosing a husband, she's a feminist. If she disagrees with red pill theory, she's a feminist. If she thinks she's not an object, she's a feminist. These are the.
They literally believe in a distorted version of Islam that is not in line with Al Hassan al Jamah. It's no different from the Muslim feminists who do exist. To the Tamassain, Islam was red pill before red pill came along. For the feminists, was the first feminist. It's just like Muslims in the nineteen sixties and seventies who used to say things like Islam was communist before communism came or socialist or Marxist.
And it's no different from deviant groups like ISIS who basically have a view of Islam that is derived from the view of Islam held by Islamophobes. They have self radicalized mostly through the Internet driven by some form of personal grievance, sense of inadequacy and powerlessness, and they want to sanctify their resentment through contrived and warped interpretations of Islam. Like feminism, red pill theory is a first world virus that can only flourish indulgent environments where people have way too much time to navel gaze and scroll social media, so much time that they can ride an algorithm as far as it will take them, and so indulgent that they don't impose upon themselves the simple task of basic fact checking. Red Pill theory is factually inaccurate, and I have demonstrated that on my channel over and over again. So there's no real question about whether it is or is not compatible with Islam.
It's factually wrong. Aside from the moral and ethical contradictions with the religion, it's not compatible with Islam because it's not compatible with reality. You cannot believe it unless you have adopted a cultish mentality that disconnects you not only from genuine authentic knowledge of Islam, but even knowledge and understanding of the real world itself. Now I'm concerned about this far more than I'm concerned about feminism because what men believe and what men do is always of greater consequence than what women believe and do. It is vital to the world that Muslim men approach it with genuine Islamic understanding, Islamic values, and Islamic behavior.
This is the that we took, and this is the that we must fulfill.
