Sheikh: Muslims Urged to 'Sub-due the World' via Child-Bearing

4 Comments

Thanks to TROP

Don’t say I told you so:

“We will conquer your country with the bellies of our women”

Sheikh Kayemba says that the Koran teaches that girls have to get married, produce children and subdue the world. Kayemba, who says he has 23 children so far, has also encouraged his fellow Muslims to produce as many children as possible. (Source)

Paki Women Desperate, Afghan Women Flee Violent Husbands….

Paki Women Desperate for Work:

Before the golden arches arrived, everything was really peaceful:

“The majority of the people here believe in the traditional interpretation of Islam, and they get very upset because religious leaders tell them it’s not proper for women to go out and to work and to serve strange men.” Burqas to burgers: Pakistan’s women in shop front

Afghanistan: Women imprisoned for fleeing violent husbands

Why are violent Afghan husbands in such steady supply? The usual excuses — “cultural” or “tribal” issues, or the observation that domestic violence occurs in other societies — do not begin to explain the level of spousal abuse across the Islamic world and in Muslim communities in the West, even in seemingly improbable places like Tulsa.

Why is the practice so hard to eradicate? It’s in the Qur’an. And what Allah has made lawful, mortal man obviously has a hard time prohibiting under Islamic law. Qur’an 4:34 says:

Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

And yes, it really says to beat them. Never mind apologists’ tap dance about the need to admonish, etc.: at the end of the day, what matters is that Allah himself says a man may strike women under his control if they disobey, or if he fears disobedience.

Stories like this illustrate the far-reaching consequences of the letter and spirit of Qur’an 4:34. “Fleeing Violent Husbands Lands Afghan Women in Prison,” by Jason Motlagh for Time, January 3 via JW:

Algerian Imams Incite Violence Against Indepedent Women…

Algerian Imams Incite Violence Against Indepedent Women…

Yep. That’s what they do. Churchill knew that:

“The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property (either as a child, a wife, or a concubine) must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.” from The River War

The predominantly Muslim region in southern Russia includes Chechnya, which is mired in violence stemming from two 1990s wars between separatist rebels and Russia’s government. The area is wracked by bombings and almost daily clashes among police, militants and criminal gangs.

At a hundred miles an hour:

Afghanistan: Women crowd secret shelters with scars from “fists, knives, burns, electrical cords”

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.

Other news:

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 forABC News, March 11, JW:

Not every Afghan is hoping the Americans soon leave their country. Some are actually dreading it.

Gaza women denied inheritance rights

The majority of women in Gaza are being denied their inheritance rights, a survey by aGaza-based women’s rights advocacy group has found.

Well, I guess that’s just another reason to blame da Jooozzz….

From our  “Islam elevates women” series:

The Women’s Affairs Center (WAC) study, Women and Inheritance, found 88 percent of those surveyed claimed to have been denied their inheritance. Around two thirds of those interviewed said they would not request aid to restore their legal rights.

Details of the study were published last week, ahead of International Women’s Day on Monday, in an attempt to highlight one of the most complicated issues facing Palestinian women.

“You can say it’s a matter of culture more than religion,” Diab Zayed, programs officer at the Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development (PWWSD) told The Media Line, noting that the problem exists in the West Bank as well as Gaza. More>>

‘Democray’ under sharia….

Today’s the day for women in Afghanistan to don their bright blue burqas, obtain the services of male companions, and head off to Herat to take part in International Women’s Day.

Thousands showed up for the gala event where they were treated to readings from the Koran and assurance from imams that they will remain subservient to males under the Karzai government, although they might (if they are beyond their child-bearing years) obtain permission to work in the poppy fields.

Hillary Clinton, who championed the event, failed to make an appearance in her latest hijab, and Michelle Obama, who expressed her concern for the plight of Afghan women, was nowhere in sight (unless, of course, she was concealed by her black burqa).

France/Belgium: Women’s organizations want burka ban

In Paris, sixty activists of Ni Putes ni Soumises made an early start on International Women’s Day by marching with liberty caps in the place de la République, and then symbolically covering the statue there with a giant burka (picture here), later removed by the police. They were protesting what they see as a delay in enacting the law against wearing the burka in public places. Sihem Habchi, president of the organization, told AFP that they do not want the anti-burka law to be buried

The telephone has not stopped ringing at the offices of “Insoumise et devoilée” (Defiant and unveiled),” located in Verviers, in southern Belgium. “In the past two weeks, sixteen young women have reached out to us,” says Karima, who is visibly overwhelmed by her work. When in 2008 she founded the organisation, named after a book she published the same year, Karima never imagined things would evolve so quickly. “It’s proof my story is not an isolated case, as some politicians suggested,” she jokes. More:  Women’s organizations want burka ban

Islam Elevates Women, Right?

DC police enforce Sharia, eject women from main prayer hall in mosque

…because only men are allowed to pray there. Sharia Alert from…Washington, DC: “Muslim Women Protest Policies At Islamic Center Of Washington,” by Kavitha Cardoza for WAMU.org, February 22 (thanks to JW & Weasel Zippers):

The source of contention is a small room created with seven foot high wooden walls. Jannah B’int Hannah describes how she feels in there where she cannot see the imam, or leader of the mosque, speak.

“Boxed in, stifling, suffocating and totally a second class citizen,” says Hannah.

Perhaps its time to change your religion, Hannah!

Al-Azhar University Professor Sabri Abd Al-Raouf: It Is Okay for Bridegroom’s Mother to Smell Bride’s Armpits before Wedding

MEMRI

Following are excerpts from an interview with Prof. Sabri Abd Al-Rauf of Al-Azhar University, which aired on Dream 2 TV on May 1, 2009.

Prof. Sabri Abd Al-Rauf: The mother [of the bridegroom] and other female relatives may look at the bride’s hair and neck, and may smell her private parts.

Interviewer: Smell what?!

Prof. Sabri Abd Al-Rauf: Her armpits, for example. Some women and girls sweat, and there are men who are nauseated by this.

Interviewer: So the mother may check to make sure…

Prof. Sabri Abd Al-Rauf: The mother may go near the bride, in order to check whether she smells good or bad. There is nothing to prevent this. But the groom is forbidden to look at any part of her except her face and hands.

Interviewer: But there is a fatwa that permits him to see whatever his female relatives may see.

Prof. Sabri Abd Al-Rauf: He is not allowed to see what the female relatives see.

[…]

The khimar is the piece of cloth that women use to cover their heads and the protruding part of their breasts. This is what Islamic law requires.

Interviewer: So what this woman is wearing is not a hijab?

Prof. Sabri Abd Al-Rauf: Pardon me?

Interviewer: What she and many other girls wear is not a proper hijab?

Prof. Sabri Abd Al-Rauf: I am only looking at you. I’m not looking in her direction.

Interviewer: So you avert your gaze. But what will you do when you watch a re-run of this show?

Prof. Sabri Abd Al-Rauf: I don’t know…

Interviewer: You are trying to tell me that when you watch TV, and there are women wearing this kind of veil, you avert your gaze?

Prof. Sabri Abd Al-Rauf: I concentrate on my listening, not on my looking. I listen to hear whether what they say is proper or not.

From the RoP:

Iranian clerics object to women as cabinet ministers: “there are religious doubts over the abilities of women when it comes to management”

Quoth Ali, the rightful successor to Muhammad according to the Shi’ites:

“O’ ye peoples! Women are deficient in Faith, deficient in shares and deficient in intelligence. As regards the deficiency in their Faith, it is their abstention from prayers and fasting during their menstrual period. As regards deficiency in their intelligence it is because the evidence of two women is equal to that of one man. As for the deficiency of their shares that is because of their share in inheritance being half of men. So beware of the evils of women. Be on your guard even from those of them who are (reportedly) good. Do not obey them even in good things so that they may not attract you to evils.” - The Peak of Eloquence, sermon 80.

On the Sunni side of the street (sorry), this quotation is in accord with Bukhari 1.6.301:

The women asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?” He said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” They replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn’t it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?” The women replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her religion.”
