"logiczombie" contest.... entry two: Religious Fanaticism and the Porn Industry

Analyzing the Logic Zombie from the Perspective of Religious Fanaticism in the Porn Industry: Mia Khalifa Case

Introduction:
In my previous article I wrote about how the movie industry has power in shaping men's attitude towards women and how feminism made things harder for women.

I believe that being a zombie of any sorts is a bad thing and I think zombies don't know they are zombies until they are made to look into the mirror and see that yes, this is me and I am a zombie and I believe in this philosophy and that religion. At this point, when you see yourself with all your disgusting face with that bloody skin. You say, well now i cant go back from this state. This is it. This is who I am. This is the way religious fanatics are born. They know they are shoving their views down the throat of each and every person they meet, but what can they do? They can't go back now since going back means they have to change who they are and who has time for that? Most people want other people to choose for them.

The logiczombie will not agree with your personal political or religious or philosophical views. The logic zombie lives in his own zombie land he created for himself. A world of views connected to his personality and if you try to change their mind, you have to be pretty persistent and fight them. What I noticed in people is that eventhough they pretend to agree with some idea or belief, if they are put in some kind of danger, they would lose all previous beliefs and follow anything that would save their skin because people are selfish in general. They betray friends, they kill you if they knew if they don't, they would die themselves.

It would take a person so much to not be like that and I think when this happens, when actual humanity comes to the surface and fights the logics that the zombies around him created, he can beat the odds and come out of all this as a winner. Its like they want to estimate how much you can take the lies that are around you. They can influence who you are as a person if you don't fight for who you want to be or who you already chose to be.

In this article, I analyze Mia Khalifa's case and how she got threats from radical Muslims for doing a sex scene wearing Hejab. She now has millions of followers on Instagram and she is now what is called an "insta famous" influencer. She stopped doing porn after she received those threats.

Mia Khalifa in this interview says they told her to do a sex scene wearing Hejab since she is of Lebnani origin. She tells them "you guys are going to make me killed" and the producers who are all male laugh at her. After they post the video online, she is faced with threats from the radical Muslims to stop doing porn and doing scenes like that wearing Hejab or they will kill her. They say something along the lines of "your next" according to Mia in this interview.

Based on this interview and what Mia shares, there is no respect in the porn industry for women. Although the laws somewhat protect women's right, but once you sign a paper, nothing is negotiable and if you have made a bad decisions because you felt you don't get any attention from men and you have self-steem issues like Mia did, you are pretty much screwed. The porn producers left Mia when she was faced with the threats. They didn't protect her and she had to deal with this all on her own. I think the porn industry has abused radical feminists persistence on the fact that women should express their sexuality to feel confident.

On the other hand, the radical Muslims became angry because they witnessed she associated Hejab, something they attribute to purity of a woman in their religion to porn, something that is a profane act and is prohibited according to their religion.

None of these two groups mentioned above cared for Mia as a person who made a bad decision. I think Mia Khalifa is a good example of showing how being a logiczombie can result in wars and blood shed. The radical Muslims saw Mia's actions as a threat to their religious beliefs and how they perceive women. They don't care about Mia and her internal issues that motivated her to do porn in the first place. They pointed their fingers towards Mia as the bad guy here, not the porn industry. The porn industry on the other hand made a lot of money from the views Mia's video got.

This brings up this question?
Why is Hejab is so important for Muslims?

Hejab is something that has made women in the Muslim world restricted to the patriarchy of male dominance. They must have a form of control over the woman's body since they perceive it as their property. If Hejab is removed and women show their bodies' in the Muslim world, men lose their control and their dominance over them. Mia with her sex scene wearing Hejab was like making fun of this the Muslim's notion of Hejab. Her action in the video removed the control from it and showed that a woman's sexuality is in her own hands and the hands of the porn industry. Because she is of eastern origin, it makes the Muslim to associate her with the woman currently wearing Hejab in the Muslim world, they don't care about the fact that she is now an American. It is because they know women through their bodies and she has a eastern looking one. Mia showed them the western world has allowed women to show their bodies instead of hiding it. The video showed women's bodies is their own property and they can do whatever they want with it.

The porn industry and Hejab in the Muslim religion is two sides of the same coin. The porn industry is a multi billion dollar business, on the other hand is created mostly for the male pleasure in the western world. It focuses on women's body and how it gives pleasure to the make audience. When the male audience puts his focus on only the "body", it makes women define themselves through how their bodies' are and how much it is closer to that ideal body men want and in the Muslim world they put their focus on their virginity before marriage.

I think both Hejab and porn focus too much on a women's body and you ask why women do so much plastic surgery to look perfect or surgeries done in the Muslim living countries on their hymens to be a virgin. It is because if you are body is not perfect, you wont get anywhere in the western world, you are pretty much a failure both from the view point of men and society in general and if you are not a virgin in the Muslim world, you are shamed for being a whore.

Men have always had labels for women: one who is a whore and one who is a mother willing to sacrifice herself for her baby. No one sees the real intention past the action, they only label as they are taught. They don't see the scared little girl behind Mia Khalifa who did a stupid thing. Mia is someone who is caught between these two logics while trying to define herself as a woman and is both a victim and winner. She was victimized and saved at the same time.

She doesn't need to do porn anymore since she is insta-famous now because of her "body" that was caught in between these two logics. She has done breast implant as well and she is happy about it. She figured out how her body can make her millions and how she doesn't have to have a high self-esteem or a good talent, she just have to make her body perfect, that way she will get the attention of men, the money and the fame and everything else she wants from life.

I think women are aware of this power their bodies have over men but they don't do anything. Other porn stars told her you are ungrateful for your fame because the death threats made her famous and she now has millions of followers on Instagram. This shows that women themselves perpetuate this logic because they don't know how to work on themselves as people. They know they are only defined by their bodies.

If you look at the creative productions of men, you see this focus on the body more. The song called "the shape of you" by Ed Sheeran is among the top ten songs with billions of views on Youtube. What does that tell you?. These songs and movies and books put this idea into young girls mind that a man's love lies in the amount of attention he gives to a woman's body. This is why we as women have so much insecurities and do so much plastic surgery because we don't feel worthy first to ourselves. Our bodies have to be perfect to receive love and if we get older, we fear to lose the love of a man because he only loved our bodies.

How do you think Mia is feeling as a person? I think she still feels unsupported by men. Men who for centuries thought to be protecting women, but all they do is preventing them to prosper as people by focusing too much on their bodies. This is a lie and women should wake up and not be a zombies anymore. I think women themselves should stop focusing too much on their bodies as well and give a little more attention to their mind and directing the focus of men from their bodies to the minds. I think women should take control of their own bodies as well and don't give their right to it to any man whether it is their husband or their father or their government or the porn industry and that happens when women start respecting themselves first.
