Abstract

The ideas of disgruntled individuals can lead to negative stereotypes and misconceptions about the religion and its followers. However, it is important to note that the actions of a few disgruntled Muslims do not represent the beliefs and practices of an elite religious group. Islam, like any other religion, is a complex belief system with a long history and wide range of interpretations and practices. The following research article examines the ideas of two disgruntled writers, namely Irshad Manji and Aryan Hirsi Ali. Because of their insider credentials, they are taken seriously by their non-Muslim audience in the West. Their presentation of Islam persuades the audience that the western worries with regard to Islam are justified and that Islamic worldview is a real threat to the Western values and freedoms. The article concludes that their oversimplistic and Islamophobic narrative regarding the alleged misogyny, violence and backwardness of Islam is untenable
《内心不满的穆斯林》中对伊斯兰恐惧症的比喻述评
心怀不满的个人的想法可能导致对宗教及其追随者的负面刻板印象和误解。然而,值得注意的是,少数心怀不满的穆斯林的行为并不代表一个精英宗教团体的信仰和实践。伊斯兰教,像任何其他宗教一样,是一个复杂的信仰体系,有着悠久的历史和广泛的解释和实践。下面的研究文章考察了两位心怀不满的作家,即伊尔沙德·曼吉和雅利安·希尔西·阿里的思想。由于他们的内部身份,他们受到西方非穆斯林听众的重视。他们对伊斯兰教的描述让观众相信,西方对伊斯兰教的担忧是有道理的,伊斯兰的世界观是对西方价值观和自由的真正威胁。文章的结论是,他们对所谓的厌女症、暴力和伊斯兰落后的过分简单化和伊斯兰恐惧症的叙述是站不住脚的
