Porn Crisis: The Case Against Far-Left ‘Progressive’ Politics Among Muslims

[Neptin]

Previously, I said there are too many progressive or liberal minded Muslims drawn to far-left politics and that this is a bad thing. Their general consensus seemed to be that as the left represent freedom, equality and tolerance, the left is therefore pro-Islam.

This is a great con. And a very easy way to expose this con is to alternately consider Islam and the Left's view on porn.

Quranic View on Porn

Since moderation, modesty and chastity are core principles of the scriptures, it follows then that all the scriptures stand diametrically opposed to porn. After all, porn use or production is basically abuse or perversion of sex in and of itself.

Islam shouldn't breed societies pervaded and perverted by porn that is accessible to little children as young as 10 or 11 years old. Meanwhile, far-left politics does this as you will see.

The Rise of Porn in the West

Post mid-twentieth century, it was the far-left emotionally charged mindset of continuously pushing boundaries of society in the guise of freedom and tolerance that paved way for legalizing porn and the eventual boom of the industry in the west.

There are now platforms like OnlyFans allowing anyone to produce and sell porn from the comfort of their homes. You may recall Rahaf Muhammad, the teen Saudi girl who fled her country for asylum in Canada in 2019. Today she lives in Canada as a single mom and runs an OnlyFans account.

The left will tell you that porn is a personal issue, that it is not a huge problem if no one is compelled to perform, if you consume it in 'moderation' and that no one will expose you to it if you object to it. All these are untrue.

You Almost Can't Escape Porn

So long as you live, you must've been or will be exposed to porn at one point in your life. Even if you never visited hardcore internet porn sites, you may be drawn to it via entertainment media, social media or by chatting with common folks off-line.

Dangers of Porn

Porn use may be an individual issue, but it leads to vices in users that ultimately harms others in the society. Some of these includes – sexual grooming, sexual trafficking, sexual abuse and sexual dysfunction.

Even more, porn leads to sexual promiscuity which leads to STI, unplanned pregnancies, abortion, fatherless homes which often leads to poverty which then leads to crimes, irresponsible and degenerate youths who are sex maniacs, who sexually objectify the opposite gender, misogynist men and misandrist women, and all kinds of weird and unimaginable paraphilia.

See how far we've come? The original intent of the scriptures was to combat so many of these vices not to contribute to them as the far-left have done through porn.

Today, the same far-left mindset that paved way for porn is now paving way for censoring dissenting views, abolishing the police, and legalization of hard drugs, which again like porn is highly addictive and does severe harms to society as a whole.

The Problems with Progressive Muslims

What is really happening with these progressive Muslims who proudly identify with far-left is that they're not paying close attention at all. So, they're easily impressed with platitudes or happy words like 'freedom', 'equality' and 'tolerance.'

But Islam isn't just about freedom, tolerance and equality. Islam is also about truth, justice, discipline, hard work, self-accountability, self-sufficiency and humility; which are values that the far-left flagrantly downplay in their discourse.

Freedom, tolerance and equality are nonsensical terms that are frequently flaunted.

Let's be honest. Does the Quran really teachea freedom, tolerance and equality? No it doesn't.

Quran forbids lying, backbiting, foul language, saying false things about God . This disqualifies freedom of speech.

Does Quran tolerate all actions? No it doesn't. Adulterers, thieves, false accusers, mischief makers etc.. All get punished.

Equality? Nope. Believers and disbelievers are not equal. Knowledgeable people aren't equal to ignorant ones. Those who fight for the sake of Allah aren't equal to those who don't... Many examples of inequality.

We've been trying to wrongly mold Quran into Western hypocrisy and to fit its immoral lifestyle.
