* No, he was not a Fritzel copycat!
* Didn’t take long…
* The Fritzel case in Austria has shocked the world.
* Josef Fritzl: I deserve credit, I’m no monster
As horrible and evil as the Fritzel case may be, similar cases are not so unusual in the world of Islam, where in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property‹either as a child, a wife, or a concubine‹ (Churchill quote)
California: Muslim polygamist goes on trial for imprisoning, abusing 3 wives and 19 children
And he justified his actions based on Islamic law, including beating his wives (Qur’an 4:34), and forbidding them to leave the house, which Muhammad endorsed according to a hadith quoted in the jurisprudence manual ‘Umdat al-Salik (The Reliance of the Traveler):
The husband may forbid his wife to leave the home because of the hadith related by Bayhaqi that the Prophet … said: “It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to allow someone into her husband’s house if he is opposed, or to go out if he is averse” (m10.4).
But many unanswered questions remain. Someone had to know about Mansa Musa Muhummed’s activities; why did they not report him for abusing his wives and children, and for welfare fraud? And why didn’t anyone take him to task for, as some will certainly allege, misunderstanding his religion so terribly?
“Long-awaited trial begins in case of man accused of imprisoning 3 spouses, 19 children,” from SignOnSanDiego,
MURRIETA – A man starved the 19 children under his roof, beat some of them and their mothers and made the youngsters and two of his three so-called wives virtual prisoners in their own home, a prosecutor told jurors Monday as the defendant’s long-delayed trial got under way.
Mansa Musa Muhummed, who was arrested in 1999, faces eight counts of torture – each of which carries a potential life sentence – 11 counts of willful injury to a child, five counts of inflicting corporal injury on a spouse and two counts of false imprisonment.
Marva Boddie, the woman who was legally married to Muhummed under state law – the other two were not – was arrested along with him nine years ago and pleaded guilty in 2000 to one count of willful injury to a child. [...]
Muhummed allegedly kept two of his three so-called wives and 19 children – his and theirs – prisoner in their home, torturing seven of them, prosecutor Julie Baldwin told jurors in her opening statement.
“He would beat their feet … to the point where they could hardly stand or walk,” she said.

It always amazes me how infidels are always shocked when such stories pop up. They shouldn’t be-this is everyday life amongst Koranists.
They (these men in Islam) should get, beside imprisonment, a dose of their own medicine. All over the world they should do that. May be than they will get it. BURN the KORAN, this book of violence and death.
To be fair to Musa Mo, he probably feared disobedience from his wives and was allowed to beat them. As for the kids, well a man is in charge and he can do what he wants to discipline his kids.
It’s just our Western perception that things like rape, torture, genocide and barbarism are wrong. In Islam, they are OK.
Mrs casssandra needs medical attention, the bible states that we are allowed to “discipline” our kids but not abuse or beat them, there is a strong line between disciplining them because they did something wrong and beating them because they are hungry and starving them to death, as for the women its ashame that as a woman you think this way, maybe you should have been one these wives that lived with this man and then have you recomment on this case. A marriage is suppose to be equal therfore the woman not neccesarily being the head of the house but has a voice and a right to be treated like a human not property.
I have to agree with the comment by lacaballota, he/she has said everything clear and to the point and speaks for a lot of us, i support your point of view and admire your frame of mind and all the others that have commented on this case EXCLUDING CASSANDRA! n to you i just pray that you do not have to be put into the situation of one of those islamic woman, not being able to have a voice or even have the privilege of getting onto the internet and writting the comment you have made.
may god forgive you all. whats wrong with some of you guys. You are all absolutly correct; this incident is extremely horrifying and just plain bad, but it isnt because they are Muslim. This kind of thing happens because of people, not their religion. What religion actually teaches violance? Its because of soem of you aroggant and ignorant people that muslims get such a bad name. im a 16 year old and even i know better; shame on you guys.
P.S to McCreary, go stick a pickle up your ass
btw… my friends mother and father are going through a divorce because he beat her and they are both Christian. A month ago, a Christian man raped a woman…i guess all Christian men are wife beaters and rapist now. really, does that logic honestly make sense. i pray for guidance and forgivness for all you guys because Allah is most forgiving.
Lahi,
You do not know better – yes there are Christian rapists but Islam is the only religion which specifically advocates violence against non-muslims. Where was your comment when a group of muslim thugs murdered three non-muslim NURSES in Yemen. Where have you spoken up against the murder of Buddhists by Muslim in Southern Thailand. Where did you speak up about the murders that Hassan Nidal committed in Ft. Hood. There are crimes of this nature committed by dedicated islamists on an almost daily basis. You are 16 and you know very little. Educate yourself before you speak again.
This one!
A Christian man raped a woman, really? And you are sure he got his instructions from the bible, right?
Perhaps not. It is more likely that he got his instructions from this dirty book here:
The Qur’an (4:34) tells men to beat their disobedient wives after first warning them and then sending them to sleep in separate beds. This is, of course, an extremely controversial verse, and many Islamic spokesmen and others in the West deny that it has anything to do with wife-beating, so it is worth noting how several translators render the key word here, وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ, waidriboohunna.
Pickthall: “and scourge them”
Yusuf Ali: “(And last) beat them (lightly)”
Al-Hilali/Khan: “(and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful)”
Shakir: “and beat them”
Sher Ali: “and chastise them”
Khalifa: “then you may (as a last alternative) beat them”
Arberry: “and beat them”
Rodwell: “and scourge them”
Sale: “and chastise them”
Asad: “then beat them”

And Muhammad “never beat his wives”? Yet Aisha, his favorite wife, says that at one point “he struck me on the chest which caused me pain.”
