The people of Loote, may Allah exalt his mention, would practice homosexuality and considered this to be the norm while they considered purity to be the exception. Hence, they fought purity and those who called for it, at the forefront of whom was Prophet Loote, may Allah exalt his mention. The one who would help them in their struggle against purity was his wife who would tell his people about what was happening to him. The natural end of those people was that the earth turned upside-down and the highest part of the city was made its lowest - upon them, together with the wife of Loote, may Allah exalt his mention.
Loote, may Allah exalt his mention, was saved by Allah The Almighty along with those who believed in him. The story of Loote, may Allah exalt his mention, was mentioned in more than one chapter of the noble Quran and it affirmed the end that those people deserved. Allah The Exalted caused the earth to swallow them and rained upon them stones of hard clay. This story was mentioned in many chapters like the chapter of Hoode, Al-Hijr, Al-Anbiyaa’, Ash-Shu‘araa’, An-Naml and As-Saaffaat. We will simply quote the verses of the chapter of An-Naml in order to show the extent of this people's deviated thinking as they argued in spite of the fact that they had reason and insight. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {And [mention] Loote, when he said to his people, “Do you commit immorality while you are seeing? Do you indeed approach men with desire instead of women? Rather, you are a people behaving ignorantly.” But the answer of his people was not except that they said, “Expel the family of Loote from your city. Indeed, they are people who keep themselves pure.” So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; We destined her to be of those who remained behind. And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.}[Quran 27:54-58]
These verses reveal that the people of Loote, may Allah exalt his mention, insisted on their homosexuality and their criminal acts. Their answer to his question that was meant to express deploration and censure, and their request to expel Loote, may Allah exalt his mention, and his family were because they were people who kept themselves pure. Thus, purity and chastity are justifications for being expelled from the countries of the perverted and deviated.
The Muslims’ suffering in France
These very justifications are the same that the fanatical colonizing crusaders raise against Muslims in France. Let us put the issue of Hijab aside and consider the horrible and detestable discrimination that the Muslims are suffering from all over France. In spite of the fact that they represent the second largest power after the Catholics as the number of Muslims is five million, three million of whom have French nationality, and the rest of whom are residents who have lived there for a long time, there is not one single Muslim minister in France. There are no Muslim officials in the French administration, even on the lowest levels. The Muslims there usually live in the poor quarters and have a lower standard of living than the Jews and the Catholics. Despite this, they serve the French country sincerely and give it their effort and time. The fanatics refuse to let them have a humanitarian existence or respectful entity. They simply want them to be slaves with no religion, creed, culture or identity!
Hijab terminates the republican system
France is full of naked women, prostitutes, drug-addicts, gays and libertines. However, this is not a serious problem for France. The only thing that disturbs it on the strategic and national levels is the Hijab of the Muslim French woman who declares her Muslim identity. Hijab has become a sign and a badge for fanatical France and not deemed to be part of the Islamic creed that makes the woman adhere to chastity and purity. France thinks that they should get rid of this sign as it causes an imbalance in the secular equation and threatens to put an end to their republican system.
Similarity between two ways of thinking
Undoubtedly, there is a similarity between the people of Loote, may Allah exalt his mention, in their deviated logic against those who keep themselves pure, and the French fanatics who are against Hijab. They both have minds, insight, knowledge and understanding, however, their perversion and fanaticism throw their shadows on everyone. The people of Loote, may Allah exalt his mention, received their punishment in the past and I do not think that the French fanatics will escape the divine punishment. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.} [Quran 18:59] After all, oppression is the cause of destruction and all that leads to it regardless of time and place.
Hijab is not the issue
In all cases, Hijab is not the issue, even though it is part of it. It is the issue of Islam that the fanatical crusaders hate and fight day and night. They achieve great victories in this regard. However, in spite of all these victories, they fear Islam and the Muslims because the Islamic values run counter to their evil ambitions, aggressive aims and criminal attitudes against others through colonization, looting, humiliation and enslavement.
The paradox
The paradox lies in the fact that Islam is spreading on their own ground and among their youth whom Allah The Almighty guides to His religion, its principles and legislation. Recently, it was said that a great number of Europeans and Americans reverted to Islam after the mysterious attacks of 9/11 that the Muslims were accused of planning. A great number of Americans and Europeans rushed to buy copies of the noble Quran in order to know what it says. The result of this was that some of them reverted to Islam and their women adhered to Hijab. This terrified and disturbed the oppressive and fanatical crusaders who are still following the method of Peter the Hermit.
Christianity is far away from the colonizing crusaders. The barbaric colonizers used the cross as a symbol of Christianity, while they were slaughtering and killing both Muslims and Christians (The third Crusader’s campaign headed towards Byzantine instead of Jerusalem and started killing the Christians, making them homeless and looting the country, which was absolutely awful). This is what the contemporary crusaders are repeating in a hysterical way that is no less dangerous than the ancient crusaders as they think that Hijab indicates the spread of Islam in their community. This is what Western people focus on and scrutinize in order to know its future and effect on the social, cultural, and political balance in the West as some researchers think. Today, Islam is prevailing in the streets of Europe and it makes the Europeans continually wonder about it and about the people who are purified by Hijab, chastity and purity and who do not flock under the banner of immorality, addiction or perversion.
This is what the fanatical colonial governments regard as a danger that threatens its existence in the long or short term. Regardless of what happens, the campaign against Hijab will only increase the Muslims’ adherence and sense of belonging to their religion and their desire to defend it and Allah The Almighty is predominant over His affairs.
