Furthermore, while most autocrats show strength to their own public, they become meek in the face of global capital. Even when rulers rant against policies that will hurt their populist agendas – like high interest rates – they typically succumb to pressure from financial markets.
This provoked a small firestorm of distortion in the West: “Wolf Wants to Institutionalize the Burka,” etc. It was depressing to see a simple appeal for Westerners to listen to Muslim women deliberately distorted into a representation of all Muslim women as meek, will-less beings in need of rescue.
但上述呼声却在西方掀起了一股歪曲我本意、所谓“沃尔夫想将布卡(穆斯林女性传统服装)合理化”的风暴。 而令人沮丧的是:我仅仅是在呼吁西方人倾听穆斯林女性的心声,却被故意歪曲成某种象征,似乎所有穆斯林女性都是些急待拯救的,驯服而缺乏意志的小动物。
