The Kufr Assumptions behind Red Pill Theory
You may recall in a previous video, I mentioned that the nature of red pill theory, it's not however much Rolo Tomasi wants to claim that it is empiricist and scientific and realistic and so on. It's not. They are very selective about the data that they choose to use and the data that they choose to exclude. And then they interpret that data through preconceived conclusions. And this is where it becomes very dangerous for us.
The preconceived conclusions that they use as a filter for understanding and interpreting data is based on a long history of Kufr and the views about women and the relationships between men and women that they learned through the history of Christianity. Here's an example of where they are coming from.
Did you know that Adam's first sin wasn't actually eating an apple? In fact, even God confirms this in in Genesis, as a matter of fact. It wasn't it wasn't his eating an apple that was Adam's first sin. Let's read. What was Adam's first sin?
This is, Genesis three let's go. Let's start. Let's go back to, three sixteen. Right? To the woman, he said, I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth.
In pain, you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you. Genesis three seventeen. And to Adam, he said, because you have listened to the voice of your wife, that's the first one, and have eat and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you. Through toil, you will eat of it all of the days of your life.
Let's read that again. Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I've command you not to. So now people are gonna gonna throw rocks at me for this, but I'll just say it anyways. That was the first sin. Right?
That was the that was the that was the first bad decision that Adam made. In fact, God called it out. So there you have it. First in listening to your wife.
The Christians have believed since the beginning that Hawa was responsible for the fall of man, the fall of Adam Alaihi Salaam from Jannah, from paradise. And that she is responsible for original sin and that it is therefore the sentence of women forever to suffer and be subjugated and be in a degraded subservient position as a punishment. So therefore, their whole way of thinking is that women should be excluded, women should not be listened to, and women are to blame for everything evil in the world. This is the the thinking that provides the context for their ideas. This is completely alien to Islam.
This has nothing to do with the reality, it has nothing to do with the truth, and it has nothing to do with our deen. For us, the woman who is submissive to her husband is submissive through her own piety and her desire to please Allah. Is submissive precisely because she is a good woman and she is seeking to please Allah. In the red pill theory, in the historical context of Christianity, women should be submissive in a punitive way. They should be degraded and put down and dominated because they're wicked.
For us, a woman is submissive to her husband because she's righteous and a man honors his wife. And if if a if a man if a husband wants his wife to be more submissive, then he helps to cultivate her iman, cultivate her piety, cultivate her righteousness, cultivate her goodness. For them, it's the complete opposite. The woman should be dominated and put down and subjugated because she is inherently wicked. And this is why their interpretation of data is so drastically skewed and why they choose the kind of data that they choose and exclude the kind of data that they choose to exclude because they have a philosophical which has roots in theological animosity towards women.
You cannot separate the kufr from the way they interpret their data. You cannot separate the kufr out from the conclusions that they reach.
