The very well known British boxer Amir Khan stated that he's not a fan of women boxing. Naturally, Amir being a Muslim name, Khan mostly being a Muslim surname, and Amir Khan being a Muslim, why would the rodent sense of the media and the west not want to sniff its way deep into this 'personal opinion'?
Link at the bottom of this... (i didn't expect it to be long)
When asked in an interview why he opposed women boxing in the Olympics, Amir Khan explained that boxing is a bloody sport (let's leave aside the fact that boxing is not permissible in Islam in this maner and continue with the topic itself).. so he explained that it's a bloody sport where you get into the ring to hurt the opponent by punching them in the face. This really hurts and it's not for women. Anyone in their right mind could see that he says this with care and for the clear fact that women are WOMEN, not men, that's why they're women because they're not men. Yet the words of the BBC interviewer was simple, "that's prejudice"
So caring about the position, health and respect of a woman and holding the opinion that a certain thing is not for the is prejudice?
He then asks him if he's against women rugby. Amir's reply was good saying that it's 2 different sports and you don't walk onto the rugby pitch with the intention to punch the opponent in the face till they're knocked out. The interviewer not getting his cheese with his tail caught in the trap of Amir's answer then resorted to the final attack.
He asks Amir about a certain silver medal in one of the previous Olympics (I don't have any knowledge about boxing and winners and medals or in general, this is about the interview let's not forget)... so he mentions the previous glory and asks him how he felt when he won, Amir assuming it was a genuine question forgetting that it's a media interview answers simply that it was a great feeling and one of the highlights of his life etc... and viola, the interviewer finally has something now and immediately follows up with, "why would you want to deny the women that feeling?"
A few things that crossed my mind when hearing that interview:
1) Do NOT care about women and their true rights as women. Treat them like men. That is what the west want and what they consider equal opportunity.
2) Do NOT deny women what men have even if it means they have to be beaten up and defaced in a square box with ropes (i wonder why it's called a ring when it's squared?)
3) If you're ever interviewed by the BBC, nothing you say will matter until they make their point so always remember to repeat your point as they will take you away from your point - listen to the interview link at the bottom
4) When you show concern, you will be given fancy titles like prejudice. Ask them why there's never a woman pope, or a woman King. Yes I know there's a queen but what if a woman wants to be King? Where's the equal opportunity? Ask why the British passport has the gender/sex stated when it doesn't really matter if you're male or female. Is this all besides the point? So was everything the interviewer said to make a point.
I agree with what you just mentioned. Many media personnel are actually like that. They always have to win an "argument" even if it is an interview and not a debate.
I guess this is always the problem with modernization and culture. It often clashes meeting a lot of raised eyebrows. Personally, I think that boxing is a brutal sport and I do not enjoy watching it much less participating in a match.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
