SLAVE 3 HALAL 4 HARAM

Kaynak

The image is a cartoon drawing, likely a meme, depicting a humorous and highly controversial comparison between two concepts: "Halal" and "Haram" within a misogynistic and Islamophobic interpretation. On the left side, labeled "Halal," is a man (presumably a religious figure) standing with several women, all veiled and numbered. The women are presented as objects to be chosen, with numbers assigned as if they were available items. One woman is partially un-veiled, appearing to be part of the "choice" being offered. The labeling in the image suggests the figure is making a choice in how many women he can take on as a harem, this concept of multiple wives is indeed seen within Islamic culture. On the right side, labeled "Haram," is a man and a woman embracing. This act of affection between a man and a woman is presented as the opposite of the numbered and veiled women on the left, implying it is forbidden (haram). **The Joke (in Turkish):** The joke, or rather, the intended message, is extremely problematic. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Islam and women's roles within the faith. It presents a distorted view of Islamic concepts and uses a cartoon to propagate a biased and harmful narrative. **A problematic interpretation:** The cartoon is not a humorous or lighthearted take on the concept of Islam. It is a deliberate and malicious attempt to present a caricatured, negative portrayal of Islam, and most particularly of women within Islam, presenting their freedom as "haram," forbidden. **Instead of a joke:** The image is loaded with derogatory and harmful content. It creates harmful stereotypes that can lead to prejudice and discrimination, particularly against Muslims and women in general. It's not a joke, it is a harmful and offensive caricature. It is crucial to recognize and call out such imagery for its harmful intent.
