No pocas veces he salido en defensa de los musulmanes cuando se les castigaba con el látigo generalizador: “todos son unos bárbaros incivilizados”. No lo hago por altruísmo, ni por buenismo, ni siquiera por respeto a otras formas culturales y civilizatorias. Ocurre que conozco varios musulmanes que no caben en el cajón de sastre racista de los “moros” y que por ello les defiendo como lo que son: personas. Y sin restricciones.

Sin embargo hay ocasiones en las que es fácil perder la prudencia. Si una mujer denuncia la muerte de su hija a manos de su propio padre por “salir” con un no-creyente y desde ese momento cae en desgracia social, debe huir hasta de su propia familia, esconderse en casas donde no podía estar más de cuatro días, vivir acosada hasta terminar cosida a balazos en una calleja de Basra, nopuedo menos que decir que no estamos ante una “civilización”, estamos ante una sociedad de bárbaros homínidos:

Five weeks ago Leila Hussein told The Observer the chilling story of how her husband had killed their 17-year-old daughter over her friendship with a British soldier in Basra. Now Leila, who had been in hiding, has been murdered – gunned down in cold blood. Afif Sarhan in Basra and Caroline Davies report on the final act of a brutal tragedy.

Leila Hussein lived her last few weeks in terror. Moving constantly from safe house to safe house, she dared to stay no longer than four days at each. It was the price she was forced to pay after denouncing and divorcing her husband – the man she witnessed suffocate, stamp on, then stab their young daughter Rand in a brutal ‘honour’ killing for which he has shown no remorse.

Though she feared reprisals for speaking out, she really believed that she would soon be safe. Arrangements were well under way to smuggle her to the Jordanian capital, Amman. In fact, she was on her way to meet the person who would help her escape when a car drew up alongside her and two other women who were walking her to a taxi. Five bullets were fired: three of them hit Leila, 41. She died in hospital after futile attempts to save her.

Léanlo completo. Es necesario para no perder la perspectiva.

Qué madre de una hija que usted conozca puede ponerse en el lugar de esta mujer, en el que el marido y padre, los propios hijos y hermanos suponen un peligro latente para la vida de la hija, incluso para la suya misma? Alguna Ministra española? alguna feminista de salón?
