Context
Islam was created by prophet Muhammad in the desert lands of Arabia 1400 years ago in the midst of the war between two major empires, the Byzantine and the Sassanid (persia). Religion was the major code of laws and the best guide for lifestyle choices and morals in those times. Remember there was no internet and no tv. The best people could do was maybe read some books that were not easy to get nor to read. Still the best thing society had was religion. Christianity has dominated society for 6 centuries. And since the downfall of the roman empire that could be attributed in part to some loss of roman values and morals and a relaxation or liberation of women. Christianity replaced Rome.
Christianity
Christianity is in fact the ultimate philosophy of the cuck. You marry one woman, you feed her child, you dont steal, dont rebel, dont fuck other women (but they can easily fuck other men). How many of those men were cucks...Many...Every religion or anything that forces man to be with only one woman is automatically disadvantageous to men. Because men...dont want only one woman, men have testicles and sperm, and can have 3 woman a day. Even if you had your woman closed at home all day, she could easily cheat on you and get a baby that wasnt yours. Because she only needs to show subliminar signs to potential men. While a man if he wants a woman he needs to go out of his way to pursue her and attract her.
Christianity in its purest form also teaches to love your enemy. To let god do justice, and things of that sort. Another very similar religion was Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism was very similar to Christianity.
It was hard to be a MGTOW in those days. If you wanted to be a MGTOW, your best bet was to leave the empire and join the barbarian hordes and kingdoms that were rising all over europe that would be soon under the spell of Christianity. We are talking about the 7th century. Unless you were a prince or a king your best bet was to work the fields for your lord and accept the life of a total cuck, where your wife could be banged by him and you still had to kneel to the lord. Check jus primae noctis. The first night rule.
Rise of Islam
It could be said that muhammad presented elements of MGTOW, especially in its beginning. Muhammad although married had a philosophy much more straightforward than Christianity and much more empowering for men in general. It valued the man and the warrior above anything and anyone else. It devalued the woman while still had rules that protected her function in society (having babies). The rise of islam in arabia is not indepedent from the social and military conflicts of the time. Arabs were becoming oppressed in their own country, with the taking over of Christians and Jews all over. The conflict between the sassanids and the byzantines deeply affected the middle east with constant sacking. Muhammad wanted to create something that could unite the arabs under one banner, and for that he needed something strong as christianity but not christianity, and he needed to convert the christians and jews one way or another. Therefore islam was created. With its double edged sword, of peace and war at the same time, dar al harb and dar al islam. Islam means submission, submission to god submission to the realities of life, and in a sense submission to a life without luxuries and accepting what god gives you. The religion spread so quickly that the war between the byzantines and the sassanids ended immediately with the fall of the sassanid empire, and one early attempt to conquer constantinople and rome. The empire would soon extend itself to spain and southern france. Partially due to eagerness of men to accept a religion that freed them from their status quo.
How islam relates to mgtow.
Islam was created for men not for women. Women in islam still had more rights than they had before islam. Before islam, women were raped and buried alive constantly. We are talking about hot arabian desert where women were more of a liability for society and less likely to survive in the harsh conditions of the land.
1- Women are covered invalidating their manipulative power over men with their looks.
2- Women need a men authorization and are completely subservient to men authority.
3- Men can have 4 wives if he wishes so. But women cant have two men.
4- Women cant fake rape in islam. Women duty in islam is to have babies, and keep their honor at all costs. If a woman is raped in islam, she is often considered guilty too for "allowing it".
5- If a woman does anything wrong. Shes shamed by her own family. ITs not like in western society where whatever she does it is the fault of her man.
6- Women and men need separate rooms and separate places. This is awesome for mgtows. One of the biggest issues for mgtows at the moment is the fact that we need to share work and college spaces with women. Imagine you could work without dealing with women ever again. No more bullshit, and no intrigue.
7- Women must obey the father and then the husband. Its her only way to heaven.
8- Men can beat women if she transgresses.
9- Islam allows men to be men. Islam allows men to dress austere. Islam allows men to like war. It also forces them to act this way.
I would say most of these are not exactly mgtow but more mysognistic. But no doubt they give full power to men. Surprisingly you dont see feminists criticizing islam and you know why... It is not a coincidence that islam follows these rules.
Islam was created for survival and expansion. Perhaps muhammad knew that the day women in a society can be liberated and therefore influenced the society could be changed therefore conquered. As long as you dont control the women, men will fight for what they believe, once women change men often change too. As long as women are not influenced, bluepills (the majority) will not change. Therefore the culture will be maintained.
With feminism and women power in the west. The western men is basically weak, and unmotivated. The western world is just a declining roman empire waiting for its final blow. Women dont realize this. Men wont fight to defend them. You cant shame men to go to war now. Because men have been for far too long convinced they are worse than women, and women have been excluded as a social reward for capable fighting men.
This is why islam is so seductive to European men. European youths grow up under cultural marxism that wants to destroy men as they are naturally. Islam provides not only a revenge, but an invincible way for man to recover their manhood and honor without any backlash from the left. How complicated it is to explain a feminist or leftist something as rational as that men are in fact more valuable than women. But if you just tell them you are a muslim they probably immediately leave you alone out of fear. The same with saying for example that you dont want to drink alcohol, dont want to go to clubs, dont want to chase women, dont want to spend money on fancy clothes. How hard it is to get away with all that and not be judged, or branded as something bad as young man...They will probably say you are a nerd, or anti-social, even perhaps your mgtowness is just a manifestation of inner homosexuality, thats what they say to shame you. When you can simply say you are a muslim and Allah tells you to not follow whatever they say they want you to follow...They will just shut up.
Conclusion
I know many mgtow peoples are bitter overwhelmed, alienated with todays society. By reading this you would assume converting to islam is not in fact a bad idea. Wrong. Islam is a religion stuck in the past. While it may be more liberating to men, than the current system. It certainly will close the doors to any other possibility we might have. Islam blocks new ideas, and therefore it also blocks mgtow. However you can be a mgtow more easily in islam as long as you dont say it in public (not different from europe i guess). The true liberation of men will come from the west, because of technology we will naturally prevail. Afterall we created the washing machine. We created all kinds of things to liberate ourselves from women and not only. We will create sex robots. We will create things we cant even imagine right now. And women will one day become almost obsolete or evolved and naturally selected to be something very different from what we know today.
Hope you liked this interpretation. Im not a muslim or an expert in religions, but I like to learn about history.
