Everyone wears a mask in today's world, and nobody ever truly shows you their true face. It's an indisputable fact about human nature. Take our friend Mona Abdul for example. She's the Yemeni-born wife of imam Muhammad Hassan, a prominent cleric in the Muslim community of metropolitan Ottawa, Ontario. Five-foot-nine, chubby, busty and wide-hipped, with dark bronze skin, dark brown eyes and curly black hair that shines on those rare days when she shows it to the world. In the eyes of the world, Mona Abdul is a graduate student in sociology at the University of Ottawa, and a manager at Shawarma Empire, a Lebanese restaurant in downtown Ottawa. She's thirty six years old, a mother of two and a devoted wife. Yet, like all human beings, there's more to this hijab-wearing, conservative Arab woman than what readily appears.
If Mona's husband Muhammad knew what she was up to this Thursday afternoon in early September, the tall and burly Yemeni-Canadian businessman and mosque leader would definitely have a fit. Worse than that, he'd kill her for sure regardless of what the Canadian government would do to him. The people of Canada, just like Americans, Australians and Europeans, were starting to get tired of the Muslims. Seriously. Muslim women in western societies, both foreign-born women from North Africa and the Middle East along with white female converts irked the secular-minded citizens of these societies by donning burkas and hijabs every chance they got. On the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the American embassy in Libya was attacked by a Muslim mob and four people, including a wise and wonderful man known as Christopher Stevens, a U.S. diplomat, were killed. An event which the international community condemned.
Soon-to-be-gone and absolutely naïve United States President Barack Hussein Obama made things worse for the United States of America's image worldwide and for his re-election chances against proud Christian conservative and Republican Party nominee Mitt Romney by apologizing to the Muslim mob who killed the American diplomats in Libya over a movie they simply didn't like. Even democrats in the United States of America are railing against U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama for being so dumb. How can any leader apologize to the cruel and vicious enemy that slaughters his own people? Obama's chances for re-election took a dive when he apologized to the Libyan mob that killed the American diplomats. Also, there was a rash of honor killings going on in western societies now. The Muslims were bringing their backward mindset toward gender relations to whatever land they happened to inhabit. Muslim women are getting killed by Muslim men left and right when they didn't toe the line with mute submission. The most ardent defenders of Muslim men's religious and cultural right to do whatever they wanted to their women? Muslim women themselves. A fact which befuddled police officers, social workers and domestic violence advocates in places like North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. It's almost as if Muslim women are more than okay with being slaughtered by angry Muslim men in the name of family honor. How weird is that? Small wonder westerners are befuddled by such a mindset.
