There is an article floating all over the Internet, “Joys of Muslim Women,” which discusses the horrific truth about how Islam legally treats women. The article claims to have been written by me, but that is false:Â I am not the author. Let me use this occasion, however, to set a few matters straight:
The silence is deafening around the world in regards to the inhumanity and brutality of Sharia towards women. Most of the activism against stoning, flogging and abuse of women under Sharia is heard from former Muslim women, like myself, and a few others in the West who dare to expose the truth.
Islam  is a political system. When Islam came out from Arabia, it did not go out with missionaries peacefully talking to their neighbors and saying “here is what our prophet Mohamed has come with and so on and so forth. No. There were hordes of assassins who marched into the surrounding world and subjugated them by force.
Islam is a political system. Wherever there is a Muslim community there will be  sharia. And wherever there is a sharia there is an Islamification of the territory and ultimately of that nation.

THE KAABA IN MECCA WAS NOT BUILT AS AN ISLAMIC MOSQUE.
It was an ancient temple that had been shared by polytheists, Christians, Jews, and Hindus, honoring 360 different deities. In 630 A.D. the Kaaba was captured by Islam in its military invasion and conquest of Mecca.On the day of its capture, Muhammad delivered an address at the Kaaba in military dress and helmet, according to Ayatullah Ja’far Subhani in his book, “The Message”:
“Bear in mind that every claim of privilege, whether that of blood or property is abolished . . . I reject all claims relating to life and property and all imaginary honors of the past, and declare them to be baseless . . . A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim and all the Muslims are brothers of one another and constitute one hand as against the non-Muslims. The blood of every one of them is equal to that of others and even the smallest among them can make a promise on behalf of others.” –Muhammad
Muhammad’s address at the Kaaba overthrew the Meccan government and declared all of Islam, anywhere in the world, to be a political and military state against all non-Muslims, regardless of the non-Muslims’ political, geographical, or national origins.
“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him.” –Quran 3:85
LEADERS of the global Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir have called on Australian Muslims to spurn secular democracy and Western notions of moderate Islam and join the struggle for a transnational Islamic state.
Briton Salim Atchia from global Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir addresses the conference yesterday
British Hizb ut-Tahrir leader Burhan Hanif told participants at a conference in western Sydney yesterday that democracy is “haram” (forbidden) for Muslims, whose political engagement should be be based purely on Islamic law.
“We must adhere to Islam and Islam alone,” Mr Hanif told about 500 participants attending the convention in Lidcombe.
“We should not be conned or succumb to the disingenuous and flawed narrative that the only way to engage politically is through the secular democratic process. It is prohibited and haram.”
He said democracy was incompatible with Islam because the Koran insisted Allah was the sole lawmaker, and Muslim political involvement could not be based on “secular and erroneous concepts such as democracy and freedom”.
His view was echoed by an Australian HT official, Wassim Dourehi, who told the conference Muslims should not support “any kafir (non-believer) political party”, because humans have no right to make laws.
Mr Dourehi also urged Muslims to spurn the concept of moderate Islam promoted by governments in the West, including in “this godforsaken country” of Australia.
“We need to reject this new secular version of Islam,” he said. “It is a perverted concoction of Western governments.
“It is a perversion that seeks to wipe away the political aspects of Islam and localise our concerns. We must reject it and challenge the proponents of this aberration of Islam.”
The conference, which followed the theme The struggle for Islam in the West’ was the first major event held by the Australian branch of HT since a seminar in 2007 which coincided with calls for the group to be banned.
HT is outlawed in much of the Middle East but operates legally in more than 40 countries, campaigning for the establishment of a caliphate or Islamic state.
HT’s platform rejects the use of violence in its quest for an Islamic state, but supports the military destruction of Israel.
But the group’s presence sparked angry protests outside as members of the Australian Protectionist Party (APP) yelled anti-Islam chants.
The APP met in a small park to express their need to “protect” the Australian way of life.
Conflict between the APP and HT amounted to an exchange of words, anti-Islam chants and the occasional drive-by of young Muslim men yelling obscenities from their car at the APP protesters.
One passer-by, a young Muslim man, yelled at the APP group: “You people have absolutely no idea”, sparking a fiery exchange of accusations and finger-pointing.
Nick Folkes, the Sydney organiser for the APP, believes that the HT should be banned in Australia and thinks that practising sharia law should be illegal in Australia.
“Sharia law is an archaic legal system that treats woman as second-class citizens,” he said.
“We’re not asking them to change their skin colour or religion. But if they come here, they must reject sharia law.”

The irresistible question: If Australia is so “god-forsaken,” why don’t you forsake it, too?
Of course, it’s not that simple. The goal of jihad in all its forms is the imposition of Islamic law anywhere and everywhere. And that’s supposed to make Australia seem less god-forsaken — just as it has done such wonders for Somalia, Pakistan, Gaza, Iran, Yemen, Banda Aceh… you get the idea.

(Not that there ever was “violence against Muslims”. Neither was there a ‘backlash’ after jihadists blew up the trains in Madrid, killing 300. Or when they bombed subways and buses in Londonistan, killing 57 on 7/7. Â Nobody spins it better than the Muzz…!)
What equality do you get when one man legislates over another? Is he not more superior than you? You are worshipping him by submitting to and obeying his laws… We will get oppression like this until we all submit to one law, and that is the law of God Allah…”

OK State Rep And Fox News Host Agree: ‘Dangerous Fools’ Want To Impose Sharia Law In U.S. Courts
Oklahoma State Rep. Rex Duncan (R) is worried that “dangerous fools in black robes” are going to impose sharia law on the U.S. court system.
Sharia law is sometimes used to justify cruel punishments like amputations, like stoning, as well as unequal treatment of women. And did you know it’s on its way to American courts?
Razi Hashmi, the executive director of CAIR-Oklahoma, has said the measure is “promoting division and bigotry instead of promoting unity and understanding of other faiths and cultures,” according to theEdmond Sun.
(Islam promotes  division and bigotry. We don’t need “More understanding of other faiths and cultures”, what we need is stiff resistance to Mohammedan advances)
Two Egyptian twin boys have said, “We refuse to be Muslims by force,” after losing a court case.
Middle East journalist, Mary Abdelmassih, writing for the Assyrian International News Agency explained the background to this controversial case.
“On March 30 [2010] an administrative judicial court in Egypt dismissed a lawsuit filed by Mrs. Camilia Lutfi, mother of the Coptic Christian twins boys Mario and Andrew, against the Interior Minister, and the director of the Civil Status Department for refusing to re-instate the Christian religion on their birth certificates, and invalidate those which were forcefully changed to ‘Islam’ in 2005 by their father Medhat Ramsis Labib, who had converted to Islam.” More

Senegal: Boys in many Quranic schools suffer severe abuse
(Dakar) April 15, 2010 — Tens of thousands of children at residential Quranic schools in Senegal are subjected to slavery-like conditions and severely abused, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Human Rights Watch urged the Senegalese authorities to regulate all Quranic schools and take immediate and concerted action to hold accountable teachers who violate Senegalese laws against forced begging and child abuse.

If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything. —Confucius
KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia’s religion minister on Tuesday defended Islamic laws that allow girls under 16 to marry, amid a controversy over two youngsters who were married off to middle-aged men.
The issue has flared in Malaysia after reports that two girls aged 10 and 11 were wed in the conservative northern state of Kelantan last month. They have now been removed from their husbands.

The Fight Against Sharia
Rights groups have called for the reform of Islamic laws that allow marriage under the age of 16 if religious officials give their consent. Sharia law runs in parallel with civil law in multi-ethnic Malaysia.
“There is no need to amend the law,” Jamil Khir Baharom, a cabinet minister in charge of religious affairs, told reporters.
Here is another report that describes the prevalence and severity of domestic violence in a Muslim country without considering Islam’s role. The broadcast version of the story, aired tonight, mentioned attempts to convince men that such behavior was un-Islamic and not what Muhammad would want; even that is absent from the online version excerpted below.
But the Qur’an (4:34) says you can beat your wife — never mind the parenthetical additions of “lightly” by some Western translators. That doesn’t help the women in Afghanistan. Nor do fanciful re-translations of the Arabic term. There can be no meaningful discussion of domestic violence in the Muslim world without acknowledging that Islam’s scriptures, believed to be the direct word of Allah, approve of the idea of resorting to violence to “control” supposedly disobedient women.
As for Muhammad, he was a wife-beater himself, as Aisha recounts in this hadith that “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain.” When, per Qur’an 33:21, a man who marries a child and beats her is your “beautiful pattern of conduct,” you’ve got a serious problem.
That problem continues to manifest itself across the Muslim world. “Exclusive: The Secret Shelters That Protect Afghan Women,” by Margaret Ako and Mark Mooney forABCÂ News, March 11, JW:
Not every Afghan is hoping the Americans soon leave their country. Some are actually dreading it.
The media keeps telling us that we are dealing with only a “small number of extremists”, but what evidence do they have for that? How would they know?  Why  do Western journo’s  spike every report with a sedative when the Islamic doctrine demands the overthrow of democracy and the secular nation state? Is not every Muslim  obliged to remove all obstacles in the way to establishing the sharia?
The East London Mosque  &  The secret world of IFE (Islamic Forum of Europe)
For most of the 15,000 ordinary Muslims who pray there each week, it is simply a place of worship. For many, it provides valuable social facilities, and creche and outreach services.
But for a small number, the mosque is the headquarters of a secretive, fundamentalist political network. The Islamic Forum of Europe is dedicated, in its own words, to changing the “very infrastructure of society, its institutions, its culture, its political order and its creed … from ignorance to Islam”.
The mosque and IFE are inextricably intertwined. Dr Mohammed Abdul Bari, the chairman of the mosque, and its vice-chairman are former IFE presidents.
