In the same way the eater rush upon their bowl, all cultural circles in both East and West have rushed upon âthe Islamitesâ criticizing and defaming. They accused us of encroachment upon womanâs right, so they rendered their unfair judgment which declares that we âthe community of Moslemsâ are enemies and tyrants of woman; nay, we are a nation that all other nations laughed at for its negligence and oppression, particularly in regard to the issues of âdivorceâ and âpolygamyâ. They also imputed that we have squeezed the woman into the bottle of Prophet Solomon and sealed it with his signet when we put on her face âa veilâ, too stifling and heavy, and hid her out of sight. Therefore, our standing has declined and our class degraded, and in their view; we have become an illiberal nation whose humanity has sunk to the bottom. Now, it is the time for the truth to present itself strongly and to fill Westernersâ thoughts about Islam with sublimity. It is going to intonate glory as an ideal with pride and make the whole universe hear its humanist voice. Today, the truth has been justified by he whose faithfulness achieved marvels. It is his majesty: the great eminent scholar Mohammad Amin Sheikho âhis soul has been sanctifies by Alâlah. Indeed, whenever he is, the blessings will be.
