Let Health Reign Supreme and Not The Economics!

Normal, Heterosexual Marriages Discouraged, Homosexual Weddings Encouraged: What an Incredible Inverse Revolution Led by America!

Dr Javed Jamil | Clarion India

BY signing the bill on homosexual marriages and acting as a true “Democrat”, American President Joe Biden has “proudly” cleared all the hurdles in this unnatural alliance; and has set an ugly precedent for others to emulate.

America loves to be a leader in everything. During the last century, it achieved leadership in some exemplary fields like science and technology. But, since then, it has been using the same science and technology in gaining leadership in everything unhealthy and destructive for humanity. It has become an undisputed leader in all forms of violence (murderous assaults, mass shootings, rapes, wars, instigating civil wars in other countries), and of course, it is almost at the top in all forms of unhealthy practices, from alcohol to drugs, from promiscuity to homosexuality, from pornography to prostitution. See the following facts: 

• In a study, the University of Utah found that the number of women who have had sex with more than 15 partners has increased over the past few decades, from 3 per cent to 7 per cent. And of course, the overwhelming majority of the population is promiscuous.
• According to Healthline, the average number of sexual partners for men and women in the United States is 7.2.
• Gallup finds 7.1% of adult Americans lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or something other than straight or heterosexual.

The question is: when heterosexual marriages are becoming increasingly uncommon and all the hurdles in the way of sex outside marriage have been cleared, why then legalise homosexual marriages? The answer is simple. In a world where it is not the well-being or security of the people but economics (led by market forces in collaboration with political forces) rules the roost, and the sex market is becoming increasingly huge, homosexuality is the latest addition to the market. And for the homosexual market to grow, the population of homosexuals needs to grow. In addition to all the other ways to institutionalise, legalise and commercialise, one way to advance this is the adoption of children by homosexual “parents”. Living in their company, most of the children will treat homosexuality as “normal” and would sooner than later succumb to it.

Now see the effects of this grand “Sex Revolution”, first in America:

• According to the latest figures, more than nine hundred thousand children are aborted annually in America alone.
• According to Childtrends, recent estimates show that about 40 per cent of births in the United States occur outside of marriage, up from 28 per cent in 1990.
• The US has the highest rate of children living in single-parent families. In the United States today, nearly 24 million children live in single-parent families.
• According to RANN, every 68 seconds an American is sexually assaulted. One out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed, 2.8% attempted).
• According to a CDC report “STDs Reach All-time High for 6th Consecutive Year”,  2.5 million reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, the three most commonly reported sexually transmitted diseases in 2019.
• As of 2018, about 700,000 people have died of HIV/AIDS in the US since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, and nearly 13,000 people with AIDS in the United States die each year.

Now see the following worldwide facts that show how dangerous the “sexual revolution” has become for the very survival of humanity:

• In 2021, around 650,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses worldwide. Since the beginning of the pandemic in the 1980s, more than 40 million people have died of AIDS.
• Worldwide there is an estimation of 40-42 million prostitutes. Eighty percent of the world’s population of prostitutes are female and range in age between 13 and 25. Globally, female sex workers are 13.5% more likely to be living with HIV than other women of reproductive age
• Homosexuality is the biggest threat to human life, as according to various figures, they are 8-30 times more likely to get HIV/AIDS and all other Sexually Transmitted Diseases, the latest being Monkey Pox. The Life Expectancy of Homosexuals is considered to be 20-30 years less than normals.
• According to reports, there were more than 604,000 new cases of cervical cancer and 342,000 deaths in 2020. This again is directly related to promiscuity and prostitution. (Much less common in circumcised communities)
• 70-100 million abortions take place. The right of Killing children in wombs has become a human right.
• Around 2,50,000 women are raped every year.

If counted on a daily basis, the following data comes out:

• Around two hundred thousand children are killed in wombs per day;
• 1,643 people die of AIDS every day;
• More than 1,000 women die due to cervical cancer (caused by promiscuity)

Sex Market Booming

The market for sex is growing hugely, and with this, the laws governing sex are changing accordingly. See the following:

• There are about 42 million prostitutes in the world, living all over the world. Estimates place the annual revenue generated by prostitution worldwide to be over $100 billion. The majority of prostitutes are female and have male clients.
• The global condom industry has been forecast to hit a market value of US$ 5.4 billion by 2018.
• LGBT Capital estimates the global aggregated spending power of this consumer base (the LGBT-GDP) to be around US$ 3.9 trillion per annum (measured as nominal GDP) – from a 15+ LGBT population of about 371 million individuals globally.

The following table shows the global expenditures incurred on entertainment, which gives an idea of the extent of the commercialisation of vices:

 Global Entertainment Expenditures

The table shows that more than 2,000 billion US dollars are spent on sex, alcohol, drugs and gambling. This money is being spent to purchase items that sooner or later are likely to lead to severe medical and social problems including death. Social problems include serious family disturbances, abortions, single parenthood, and separation from one or both parents, all of which in turn can lead to severe psychiatric problems with an additional financial cost.

Freedom of Choice: Biggest Corporate Conspiracy Against Health

The forces of globalisation commercialise every human weakness irrespective of its disastrous effects on health in the name of “freedom of choice”. Nobody has the guts to shout that “human rights” at the cost of human security and life cannot be defended as human rights. They use four-tier formulas to commercialise human weaknesses: Normalisation, Institutionalisation, Legalisation; and Commercialisation. First, they try to prove that these are normal practices and exist since ancient times. Then NGOs and other groups are used to campaign for their legalisation, which is then followed by legalisation. Once legalisation is achieved, they are free to commercialise and globalise them. All these “choices” bring trillions of dollars and after commercialising these, once they bring problems to society in the form of diseases, deaths and crimes, the healthcare and law industry are there to commercialise the solutions, which again generate trillions of dollars. “Freedom of women” has, in effect, proved to be nothing but the freedom of men and men-dominated markets to enjoy, exploit and commercialise their beauty and “services”.

Society and culture all over the world are now being shaped in varying degrees by the so-called modernism. It is nothing but a market-sponsored system to trade not only human needs but also human susceptibilities. They first market the “causes of the problems” and then market the “solutions of the problems”. They first started working on a God-free society because “fear of God is the largest impediment in the way of succumbing to weaknesses.” They used theoretical physicists to convince the world that the universe got created without God. They tried to make the world believe a huge plan without a planner, a hugely vast construction without a builder, a massive design without a designer, a vast system without anyone governing it, the emergence of highly advanced physics and mathematics without anyone knowing mathematics and physics, then chemistry, biology, and cosmology without any biologist, chemistry expert and cosmologist anywhere. Then they started a systematic disintegration of the family system, which they thought was the biggest obstacle in the commercialisation of sex and other addictions.

Around 120 million babies are killed by way of abortion; and yet rather than this genocide becoming a big human rights issue, the ‘right to abortion’ is defended as a “human right”.  While the death sentence for a mass murderer is opposed in the name of the right to life, these babies do not have the right to live because they are the biggest hindrance in the commercialisation of sex and the so-called “freedom of women”. Ironically, while babies are killed in the wombs of mothers, ventilators are put even on 90-plus people who have hardly any chance of surviving and are often already dead. Both ventilators and abortions bring huge profits to the healthcare market. On the one hand, drugs are openly sold and then drug rehabilitation centres are established because both will bring money. If there are no diseases, the healthcare market will not prosper.

‘Freedom of Women’ is Nothing but Freedom for Men to Enjoy and Exploit Them

Surely, the family system is the biggest safety wall against diseases and killings like abortions and rapes. “Freedom of women” is nothing but freedom for men to enjoy them and freedom to market to exploit them, women and children being the major sufferers. It is women who have to become pregnant and then abort and in most cases, they are the single parents looking after their children. “Freedom of choice” has become the biggest tool in the hands of the market forces. In principle “Freedom of choice” is a good concept but giving dangerous choices to people is the most lethal abuse of this concept.

I have already developed the outlines of the paradigm of health consistent with the teachings of the Noble Qur’an. I have given a new definition of health, which stresses “the establishment of a health-protective and promoting family system and a health-protective and promoting social system”.

Health Protective Family System Irks Markets

Developing a health-protective family system is something that threatens the interests of economic fundamentalists. They have sought to disregard, in fact, destroy the family system.

Economic fundamentalism envisages that the institution of marriage had to be weakened, preferably altogether shattered, to enhance various markets including the market of fashion, tourism, entertainment and sex. Family for them was what drought is for farmers. Unless drought is encountered, farming would not prosper. Market-sponsored feminism has become one of the biggest movements in modern history. The market fundamentalists reckoned that a man in the safe arms of his charming wife would be harder to trap; and a woman in the benign custody of the loving husband or other members of family would not be easily available for her services in various markets. In order to derail the marriage system, a number of steps have been taken.

The minimum age limit for marriage, for instance, was increased making it legally impossible for a man and woman to marry before the specified age. The rapid growth of the population was presented for public consumption as the ground for this amendment in the law. Boys and girls, denied marriage, were however always welcome to have sex before the specified age, which did not attract any legal action. Polygamy was abolished, and an animated, outrageous, multi-pronged campaign was orchestrated against it, wherever it continued to exist. On a rapid exchange of legal positions, promiscuity got legal and polygamy illegal.

The irony is that it was done in the name of women’s rights. Women themselves, not properly realising the motive of their “benefactors”, were jubilant in accepting a system wherein they could easily become wretched mistresses or casual partners (without, of course, any legal rights against their paramours) but not second wives (having full conjugal rights). Still another step was the complication of divorce rules. As even after a divorce was granted by the court women would receive maintenance from their estranged husbands, and this would deter both from remarrying. Extra-marital relationships and self-dependence in financial matters combined to result in an increasingly large number of marriages culminating in divorces. 

Anti-marriage campaigns did not stop here. To make the institution of marriage unpopular, it was incessantly degraded as an unnecessary burden. Marriage was steadily substituted by live-in companionship, which most of young men and women gradually accepted. The ever-increasing rate of divorce further persuaded the people to think that, if the marriage was destined to come to a gruesome end followed by legal wrangling, why it should not be avoided altogether.

Decreasing the popularity of marriages and increasing sexual liberty, however, posed certain intricate problems. The threat of pregnancy always hovers over the heads of women. Unless this was nullified, women would resist sexual advances. Guidance was sought from medical sciences that came to their rescue with the idea of condoms. Soon a number of other contraceptive devices were developed and became instantly popular. The contraceptive pill revolutionised the scene. Women had now practically no problem in sleeping with friends of their choice. But no contraceptive method was absolutely free from failure. Women would often conceive in spite of them. This necessitated legalisation of abortion was promptly done — in the name of yet another right, the reproductive right of Women. Abortion clinics boomed.

Artificially induced miscarriages were not, however, medically advisable in every case. Women might report late or might be physically too weak to withstand the attendant risks. Occasionally, the mother inside the woman would overwhelm her, and she would not let her child be slaughtered by an obstetrician. But it was not easy for a woman to introduce society to a child whose father was unknown. She would find herself facing a gruelling ordeal. But the corporate world was behind her. Her plight would be overcome by glorifying unwed mothers. To have a baby without undergoing the “travails” of marriage was declared a historical advance in the reproductive rights of women. It hardly bothered them that women who used to share the onus of grooming their children with their husbands would now have to perform the onerous task all alone. Children would be deprived, perhaps forever, of the affection of their fathers that is so essential for their normal healthy growth. But the economic fundamentalists had nothing to do with the children and old women because they were less important in their game plan.

Religions Need to Unite

If the world has to be saved from the destructive designs of the forces of globalization, the only hope lies in religion. All religions, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism included, will have to unite on the grounds of common morality rather than keep fighting for religious identity. Let all those ideologies and organizations that care for life and health more than economics follow and enlarge the campaign against dangerous economics. Let health reign supreme and not economics! Let the World Health Organisation stop playing in the hands of the market forces and prepare an agenda for truly achieving the “highest standards of health” for mankind!

In short, while normal marriages between males and females are a guarantee against many fatal diseases and social problems, sex outside marriage is an invitation to serious issues including death and diseases. Homosexuality has no medical basis to defend as it involves coitus of the organ, which is neither anatomically nor physiologically fit for it, the result being dozens of life-threatening illnesses including HIV/AIDS, HPV, Hepatitis B, Syphilis and Monkeypox. Moreover, homosexual marriages have no meaning unless all the routes for homosexuality outside legal “marriage” are blocked. The latest Biden act is another step in what can be called an Inverse Revolution of the “Modern”, “Advanced” and “Civilized” world.
