Dr. Osama Al-Muhtasib from Jerusalem sent me this message, asking me to share it to raise awareness.
The wicked people are spreading these symbols among our children, causing them to develop an emotional attachment to these symbols.
Over time, they become desensitized to these malicious symbols and lose their natural aversion to them once they discover their true meanings.
Toy sellers, school supplies vendors, and children's clothing sellers should be mindful of this, as should parents and educators. Here's his message:
"It has become increasingly evident that specific characters and symbols are being prominently featured on products aimed at children, particularly the 'Unicorn,' the mythical horse with a horn, which is now widely seen on many items designed for young girls.
It's everywhere—on clothes, pants, dresses, school bags, notebooks, and toys.
During my time in Canada, one of the doctors who was part of the fellowship program's coordination team was, herself, a member of the LGBTQ+ community. She lived with another woman, whom she referred to as her wife, and they had two children, conceived through an unknown sperm donor, each of them carried and gave birth to one child and called this a "family"
This doctor gave a lecture at one of Canada’s leading emergency medicine conferences, wherein she addressed topics relating to gender identity, homosexuality, and surgeries associated with gender transition.
What drew my attention during her presentation was that the unicorn symbol was present on all her PowerPoint slides, which led me to look further into it.
Upon searching on Google, I found the following:
'What does the unicorn symbol represent for women?'
The unicorn symbolizes imagination, individuality, fun, and playfulness. It is linked to the LGBTQ+ community and symbolizes pride in one’s "gender identity". When used on dating websites, it refers to a woman who participates in a polyamorous relationship with a couple.'
Also: ‘In the LGBTQ+ context, a unicorn often refers to a woman who is attracted to both sexes and typically seeks multiple partners and joins a married couple in a shared sexual relationship.'
2. On WikiHow: 'What does it mean if someone is called a unicorn? Being someone's unicorn means you're the third person in a relationship with a couple.'
I didn't finish the lecture and immediately called my wife. At the time, our three-and-a-half-year-old daughter had a small bag, pants, and a toy with a unicorn on it. I told her to throw them all in the trash, which she did.
Since then, I have informed close family members of this issue, but this issue goes beyond just informing our close ones. It has permeated the lives of Muslim girls and demands a wider platform to address it and spread the word to as many people as possible.
The matter is grievous; it propagates symbols of immorality and indecency among Muslim girls, something that no one with faith and honor would ever accept! They aim to exploit and objectify our daughters to satisfy their depraved desires. They want our daughters to become licentious and promiscuous, aligned with their corruption, deviance, and opposition to Fitrah (natural disposition), modesty, and virtue!"
They disseminate these logos and slogans and spread them like wildfire among us, and they end up being in almost every home, making the issue harder to remedy!
If we are not the shield that safeguards our daughters, then who is?
