Asazi ngokweqiniso ngempilo yamaSulumane kanye nesimo sabo sengqondo ngokwenzekayo kwezepolitiki yezwe nasemazweni azo. Ngakho-ke, sasinesifiso esikhulu sokufunda ukuhunyushwa kwenhlolokhono noSarah Halyder (uSara Haider), isishoshovu saseMelika samaSulumane ase-Exmna, abokufika abavela ePakistan.
Ngangineminyaka engu-8 ubudala lapho ngifika eMelika, futhi ngikhumbula ukuthi ekuqaleni wabonakala kimi ngomunye umuntu futhi uyamangaza. Ngiyakhumbula ukuthi ngifundisa kanjani isiNgisi, futhi owabonakala ungaziwa kakhulu kimi. Iminyaka embalwa yokuqala yayinzima, kepha ngangidonswa kimi futhi ngenza umbono omkhulu kakhulu ukuthi eMelika kukhona inkululeko yokukhuluma, amalungelo abantu - imiqondo engekho kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba. Ungasho noma yini - kahle, lutho, kunjalo. Futhi lapho sesike esikoleni, saqala ukutadisha izifundo zenhlalo, ngahlabeka umxhwele nguBill Ngamalungelo, ukuhlukaniswa kweziphathimandla - ngaya esifundweni sazo zonke lezi zingcezu ezipholile.
Nganginenhlanhla, kwakunenhlanhla enkulu ukuthi ubaba wayenenkululeko yangempela. Vele, angikwazanga ukuhamba ngizungeza indlu ngimafuphi noma ngihlangane nabafana, kusobala, bekulindeleke ukuthi umshado wami uzoqedwa ngesivumelwano, kepha ubaba akazange angivimbele ekufundeni izincwadi futhi wayengawulungisi ikakhulukazi ngokuqukethwe kwazo . Wayekholelwa ukuthi ngizoza ngandlela thile ezinkolelweni ezifanele. Eminyakeni embalwa nje kamuva, ngavunyelwa ukuhamba ekhaya ngiye ekolishi. Nganginenhlanhla yokuthi ubaba wanginika ukuba ngithole, njengowesifazane, umuzwa wokuzithemba, lapho amaSulumane amaningi aphikanga amadodakazi abo kuphela, kodwa futhi abemafazi. Angiphoqelekile ukugqoka i-hijab, yize ngiyibeka ezikhathini ezimbalwa ngokwami.
Ngamazwi, ngikholwa ukuthi nginenhlanhla enkulu - ngiyaqonda ukuthi kungazwakala kuyinto emangazayo - ukuthi ubuntwana bami badlula ezimweni eziseduze nemindeni yamaKristu enakekelayo.
Futhi, mhlawumbe, okokuqala ngqa empilweni yakhe, ngafundwa ngempela kuzo. Kimi, bekunguhlobo lokufuna - ukukhombisa bonke laba abangakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona njengoba bengalungile, ukufakazela ukuthi i-Islam iyindlela yeqiniso eyinkolo yabesifazane, nokuthi zonke lezi zingcaphuno zinezincazelo zazo kumongo . Futhi ngaqala ukutadisha umongo. Imvamisa, ngokwesimo, babebukeka bebabi kakhulu, futhi kwadingeka ngibone ukwehlulwa kwami. Futhi angizange ngithathe isikhathi esiningi sokuzitshela ukuthi angisaboni iphuzu kukho konke lokhu, nokuthi angisakwazi ukuzibiza ngokuthi amaSulumane.

Kwaphela iminyaka emithathu, sengisekela abantu abavela kumaSulumane. Futhi kuhlala kukuqhubela kube stuture ukusabela kwesobunxele. Ngaso sonke isikhathi ngizwa kwezinye izishoshovu ukuthi banethemba lokuthi bazothola phakathi kwabahlali bokunxele kanye nabafowethu ababenethemba lokuthola ukusekelwa kokungakhethi okungenani kwesokunxele. Kepha labo engibabhekile njengabafowethu nodadewethu kulo mzabalazo, vele ungifulathele, ngenxa yezizathu zezombusazwe. Futhi ngemuva kokuhlaselwa kwe- "Charli EBDO", ama-securists adumele - iningi lawo lathi ngandlela thile lingasizakala, kaningi ngizwe zonke lezi zingxoxo ezingenamqondo ngokuthi "Islamophobia". Futhi ngazizwa ngilahliwe ngokuphelele.
Abantu abaningi kakhulu bazama ukungifaka "ilungelo lesokudla." Ukusho okungenani into engemihle nge-Islam isho ukuletha izinsolo zokungabekezelelani. Akukhathalekile ukuthi ngabe uqhutshwa ukukhathazeka ngamalungelo abantu noma inzondo emsulwa yamaSulumane. Akukhathalekile ukuthi uthini nokuthi usho kanjani.
Kwesinye isikhathi ngiyangibuza, angikwazanga ukweluleka uRichard Dobinz noSam Harris ukuba bagxeke ama-Islam ngendlela eyakhayo ngokwengeziwe. Ngiyabuza ukuphendula, kepha uyazi yini ukuthi noma ngubani ozogxeka ama-Islam, futhi ukuze umsize ezandleni angabikwa ngokungabekezelelani, nokuthi wakwazi ukulondolozela idumela lakhe elinenkululeko?
Ngokuqondene namaSulumane akhululekile, ngicabanga ukuthi kungaba okungalungile uma saqala ukusebenza ngokubambisana, ngoba izinhloso zethu zihluke kakhulu. Esikhathini esithile, bayafana: Sifuna ukunciphisa inani lobubi emhlabeni, sivikela amanani ezwe, amalungelo abantu. Kepha izindlela zethu zihlukile ngokuyisisekelo. Vele, ngixhumane nabo futhi ngibahlonipha kakhulu - kepha angivumelani ngokuphelele nabo.
Ezisekelweni ze-Islam, akukho lutho olungasenalutho engingaluthatha. Angitholi okungenani okungenani uhlobo oluthile lobuhle "lobuhle" noma "uthando lomakhelwane" embhalweni we-Quran. Ngezinye izikhathi ngibizwa ngokuthi ngokweqile - kepha akunjalo. Ngokwengxenye nje bekungaba ukungathembeki ukuze ngikhulume nge-Islam namanye amagama. Ngicabanga ukuthi ukungakholelwa ukuthi ukhona ukuthi ukhona ukuthi ukugxekwa okwenele nokuqinile kwenkolo okungaguquguquki nje ngaphakathi, kepha akuqukethe ukuphikisana nokuziphatha okuhle. Futhi ngikholwa ukuthi lokhu kufanele kushiwo ngalokhu, ukuthi umbono wokungakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona kufanele wethulwe enkantolo yombono womphakathi njengoba unjalo. Uma sikhuluma ngemakethe yemibono, kubalulekile ukuthi siphawule isikhundla sethu - bese abantu bazokhetha lokho abakufanele.
Abaningi bathi ngifuna amaSulumane kakhulu ukuthi amaSulumane awasoze avumelana nami. Kepha asazi nokuthi noma cha. Angicabangi ukuthi ngilindele okulindelwe ngokweqile. AmaSulumane amaningi awakaze azwe lutho engingathanda ukusho. Futhi ngikholwa ukuthi uma benginethuba lokungizwa, bekuzoshintsha okuningi.
Ngisola ukuthi mina uqobo ngazi maqondana namaSulumane amaningi kunanoma ngubani. Futhi ngihlala ngizwa kwabesifazane ukuthi isimo sengqondo ngowesifazane nge-Islam yisizathu esenza bamshiye. Babenomuzwa wokuthi baphucwa isihe sesithunzi, esifakwe emaSulumane ngama-Islam. Futhi ubufazi babo badlale indima enkulu. Kuyini-ke ngokwakho okuthakazelisa kakhulu, ngoba lapho sikhuluma ngobuntu besifazane besimanje, lapha eMelika, ngangilindele ukuthola inhlekelele eningi, kodwa empeleni bambalwa kakhulu abama-feminists basengisengise. Ukusho ukuthi ngidumele - akukho lutho.
Ubuntu besifazane, amalungelo abesifazane - yilokhu okuphambukayo yimi lapho ngishiya inkolo eyangingenisa ukuba ngibe isishoshovu. Ngakho-ke, nginciphisa kakhulu ukungaqondi kwabesifazane. Isibonelo, kumasayithi amaningi we-Feministic ungabona izindatshana ezibhalwe ngabesifazane abangamaSulumane, ukuthi "bakhishwe kanjani" hijab. Kuyiqiniso, uma lokhu kuyizinketho zabo zomuntu siqu, uma kuyindlela abakubheka ngayo indlela edingekayo ukuze baphile, khona-ke ayikho imibuzo. Kepha amaSulumane, abhalela okuthile okufanayo, kubukeka njengowesifazane weminyaka yama-30s, angasho ukuthi uyaziqhenya ngokuthi ungowesifazane wasendlini ohlezi ekhaya kanye nalokho akudingayo kule mpilo. Ngijabule kakhulu ngawe, ngijabule kakhulu ukuthi umphakathi ophila kuwo ulilela ngokuphelele lokho okuthandayo.
Kepha noma kunjalo, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi eminyakeni engama-30, labo besifazane abaphupha ngomsebenzi kancanyana balinganiselwe ngenkululeko yokuzikhethela, eyayikhona izici eziningi ezazivimbela ukuba ziphile njengoba zifuna. Futhi ngifuna futhi bonke laba "eHijabach" ukubona ukuthi inani elikhulu lamaSulumane alifuni ukulandela ama-canons amaSulumane ezingubo ezinesizotha nokuthi zincishwa inkululeko yazo ukuze ziphile njengoba zifuna.
Bengikhathele ukuzwa ukuthi "amakoloni kufanele asolwe ngakho konke." Angikuphikise ukwesabeka kwamakoloni, kufaka phakathi, eningizimu ye-Asia, lapho ngivela khona, futhi lapho kubonakala khona imiphumela yamakoloni. Kepha uma kukhulunywa nge-radical Islam - kungaba lula kakhulu ukuyichaza nge-kolonialism. AmaSulumane athola ukuthi ubuhlakani egameni lenkolo kudala ngaphambi kokuba ubukoloni bavele esigabeni esingokomlando. Ukusola kuwo wonke amakoloni - kusho ukwenqaba yonke le ndaba eyandulele, iphike ukucindezelwa kwezizwe eziningi egameni le-Islam, elenzeke phambilini futhi okuqhubekayo njengamanje.
Kwesinye isikhathi bathi izingane ezikhule emindenini yabeziFuna namazwe amaSulumane zinjengezinhlelo ezimbili. Kepha kubonakala kimi ukuthi abanakho ukukhetha. Ngeke zisakwazi ukunamathela okholweni lwendabuko lwabazali bazo futhi ngasikhathi sinye, azihambelani nomphakathi waseNtshonalanga wanamuhla. Abanamatheli ku-Akekho noma omunye. Kungakho bakwazi ukuvumelanisa kalula umbono we-radical Islamism.
Futhi thina, senqabe ukugxeka ama-Islam, empeleni, sishiya inkundla yempi ngaphandle kwempi. Esikhundleni sokubandakanya inzalo yabeziFukwini kubo, kumagugu abo nangendlela yokuphila, sibanikeza izandla zabashumayeli abangamaSulumane. Umqondo wokuphazamiseka kwamasiko wenza okubi ngokweqile futhi kufanele alahlwe ngokushesha. Ngizwa iMelika yami, kodwa ngesaba ukuthi akuzona zonke izingane zabokufika ezabelana ngemizwa yami. Kepha ngifuna ukuba bakwazi ukuzwa nabaseMelika.
