I would have done something very violent if i saw one of our sisters being abused and plus the fact that i'm black would scare them off as well But in all seriousness remember the prophet had that experience a number of times..
I second that brother....Its very hard to keep one cool when we see muslim women/girls being insulted.
Let me share a personal experience with you all.
I live in India, a muslim minority country, a country where we muslims cant voice our opinions freely. We had many riots in our country, during riots many muslim women were raped-I perticularly remember one incident which came in our newspaper which reports that a 16/17yr old muslim girl was gang-raped by several Hindu Zealots in the name of their religion. After raping she was burnt live.
I am presently staying in city called Hyderabad, a muslim dominated modern city in India. The city is known for its Information Technology prowess...many eminent Co. like Deloitte, Accenture, Google, IBM etc have set up offices in this city. The other day I was travelling by a private bus..being low cost public conveyance it was crowed...luckily I got a seat. There were two muslim females sitting in front of me (they were not facing me, the seats face in an unidirectional way). Both were wearing veil (Hijab). Now its very difficult ot judge age of an woman in hijab (Indian Hijab covers face also only the eyes are visible, there isnt any cover over the eyes) but I am pretty sure the girls were high-school or College girls. sitting adjacent they were chatting with each other. A man came (donno his religion) and stood in a manner that his body (groin to be precise) brushed against the shoulder of the girl. The bus was crowded but wasnt so crowded, there was space, he could have stand like a modest gentle man. But his intention was something else. As the bus started to move he kept on doing his immodest activity. I noticed that the girl was feeling uncomfortable but out of modesty wasnt able to say anything to that indecent man.
It was extremely difficult and insulting to watch such a blatant sexual molestation. None of the people standing near the man said anything. I generally avoid getting into trouble/scuffles but this was altogether a different case, I called the girl and asked her in Hindi/Urdu if the person next to him is a relative or friend of her...she replied in negative. I confronted the man, shouting to behave in a proper manner and asking him to stand properly. Out of shame the man not only said nothing but alighted the bus at the next stop.
I agree with Rosheen...It is a disgusting society...trying to insult or misbehave with muslim women but Sister Rosheen, when we refer to the muslim women we refer them as 'our women'; your respect is our responsibility...Its very unfortunate that you have faced such an insulting situation, had there been any Brother he surely should have protected you. Thanks to Allah you are safe-what if the drunkard attacked you with a knife/gun. Many many thanks to Allah that you are safe.
May Allah never make you face such a situation again, may allah always protect you, May you live a cheerful life.
To BrotherZak:: there is no disinction of color/race/ethnicity in Islam. Every brother-Coloured/white/arab/asian would be violent in such a situation. No muslim male can stand such an insult on our woman. plz do not stress upon your skin-color. Every body is scrared of a violent muslim male who stands for his right.
Stay beautiful my brothers & sisters.
Khuda Hafiz.
