Just came by this news yesterday. Where, University of Leicester is investigating the enforcement of gender segregation in a public address by Hamza Tzortsis, an Islamic Speaker. University showed its concerns on the handwritten posters directing "brothers" and "sisters" to separate sections of hall. The spokesperson of Hamza Tzortzis has this to say in response to Daily Mail UK.
"Genders are sometimes informally segregated at events. But signs do not intend to ‘enforce’ separation - and that there are rarely any problems if non-Muslims chose to ignore the advice on where to sit. It is a little bit of a storm in a teacup. It is down to a bit of a misunderstanding about the way that Islam is perceived."
"However I find the Liberals and Atheists lack of integrity and consistency, disturbing. Have we heard them complain that the sexes are segregated for public toilets, sports, prisons and some schools?
Furthermore, how is gender segregation an infringement of equality? If the event was equally open to both genders to attend and participate, then where is the inequality? (I heard from a colleague who attended, that men were sitting at the back of the room – do the Liberals seriously suggest that the Muslims are treating men as second class?)."
He further adds some more gibberish,
"Lastly, to break the sacred taboo, can Liberals and Atheists even justify why humans are equal in the first place? I mean, according to the natural world, we are NOT equal. Humans have different intellects, strengths, sizes and physical abilities – so where do they get the idea that humans are all equal? Equality, in Liberalism, is nothing but a quaint affectation, harkening back from their long forgotten past. A past which Atheists and Liberals never dare delve in to, because they know where it leads. The only reason to base the belief in Equality, is upon the old Christian idea that all Human souls are equal in the eyes of God. For as the Professor of Political Science, Hunter Baker said “If we are equal, it must be in the eyes of God, for we are not equal in anything else”."
After many confrontations with Andulasi, this is not a surprise. This guy is also a Muslim convert and a so-called Muslim Speaker (or Preacher to be more right?) like Tzortzis. He really needs to rethink and reread his definition of equality.
Anyway, Tzortzis always finds trouble. Last year, he confronted Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy in Lahore University of Management Sciences and tried to prove himself as a Divine Physicist, failing miserably proving to be not very normal person. He sparked a similar debate few days ago at University College London, as well, where three people were kicked out of the hall for not following gender segregated seating plan. Richard Dawkins called it "Sexual Apartheid."
This was my comment on the news before I learnt that the same happened in UCL, which completely busts the claim of the spokesperson of Hamza who said that segregation was not enforced.
"I do not endorse this probe nor do I criticize it, I am neutral on it. I do not endorse it because may be they cherry picked this behavior which is culturally very general in Muslim Communities; the gender segregation, seldom thought as offense. I do not criticise it because I am unaware of UK culture regarding gender segregation and I myself consider it wrong if it is forceful. But as Hamza clarified that it wasnt enforced and even the mixing was a common and acceptable behavior. I consider his explanation worthwhile because in Pakistan, same happens. Besides, Hamza and Co are not orthodox Islamists but modern moderate apologist and sugarcoating islamists, who can't afford such controversy due to this image."
Hamza's vanity and ego is exposed at many places and many others like MDI are following his footsteps in their hatred towards the people of other beliefs. I guess this is not a sane way to preach a religion. This way, you, the new converts (hope I seem just critical and not racist) will gather more hatred for Islam then making its image any better. However, on the other side, the new-atheists are always ready to cherry pick any slight behavior to use in the pursuit of their Islamophobia, just like these Islamist guys.
