Profile: Maryam Namazie. In Defence Of Womens Rights.
Anthony McIntyre has stood up for Womens Rifghts and Democratict Rights against the Islamofascists. For doing this, the SWP and their lackeys have called him an Islamophobe. In the article below Anthony profiles Maryam Namazie, an Iranian Socialist Feminist. Maryam shows how backward and reactionary Islam is. How opposing Islam is literally a life or death question for Women in Islamic States.
Maryam says: "Labelling women's rights activists as racists is
a dim-witted ploy to justify and excuse women's
status under Islam and political Islam, and deny
women and people living in the Middle East and
Iran universal rights and freedoms."
Theres an excerpt from the article below. The full article is at the link.

The Blanket
Profile: Maryam Namazie
by Anthony McIntyre
"The situation of women living in Islam-stricken
societies and under Islamic laws is the outrage
of the 21st century. Burqa-clad and veiled women
and girls, beheadings, stoning to death,
floggings, child sexual abuse in the name of
marriage and sexual apartheid are only the most
brutal and visible aspects of women's
rightlessness and third class citizen status in the Middle East"
- Maryam Namazie
The Blanket will feature a biography of each of
the 12 signatories of Manifesto: Together Facing
the New Totalitarianism, along with each of the
Danish cartoons their number represents.
This is the fourth in the series.
Anthony McIntyre • 3 April 2006
A frequent broadcaster and commentator she often
uses International Women's Day as a platform to
highlight the many injustices faced by women at
the hands of theocrats. At this year's event she proclaimed:
"On International Women's Day, we commemorate 23
year old Hatun, murdered in cold blood in Germany
by her brothers for 'dishonouring' her family,
for divorcing a man she was forced to marry at
16, for unveiling, and for dating German men.
Hatun's death outrages us not because her murder
is a rare tragedy but because it is so common.
There are millions like her living under sexual
apartheid, veiled, gagged, bound, burnt, hacked
to death, hung, decapitated, stoned... Millions
like her refusing and resisting and demanding a
life worthy of 21st century humanity. Millions
like her demanding to live a life of their own choosing."
When an Iranian judge literally became the
hangman for a sixteen year old girl sentenced to
death for having sex Namazie organised worldwide
protests. All the while she remains steadfast in
her challenges to those 'apologists for Islam',
some of whom have fashioned an 'Islamic feminist'
perspective in order to avoid having to confront
the theocrats. This interpretation is:
"...an insult to our intellect and cannot be taken
seriously. Islam has wreaked more havoc,
massacred more women, and committed more
holocausts than can be denied, excused,
re-interpreted, or covered up with such feeble
defences. Misogyny cannot be interpreted to be
pro-woman even if it is turned on its head just
as fascism, Zionism and racial apartheid cannot
be interpreted to be pro-human."
