Women-oppressing Islamic sharia law thriving in Australia

E-mail Print PDF

Here is what so many Islam apologists are enabling to happen in Australia and much of the rest of the world. As a woman, I strenuously object to this sexist and misogynistic ideology festering in enlightened societies, which formerly have been the haven for people escaping just such oppression.

Islamic or sharia law as concerns women, described in this video, stems from Koranic verses and non-Koranic hadiths, including the following:

They ask you about menstruation. Say: "It is an indisposition. Keep aloof from women during their menstrual periods and do not approach them until they are clean again; when they are clean, have intercourse with them whence God enjoined you...." (Quran 2:222)

Women are your fields: go, then, into your fields whence you please. (Quran 2:223)

Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and forsake them in beds apart, and beat them. (Quran 4:34)

A male shall inherit twice as much as a female. (Quran 4:11)

Call in two male witnesses from among you, but if two men cannot be found, then one man and two women whom you judge fit to act as witnesses... (Quran 2:282)

[Forbidden to you are] married women, except those whom you own as slaves. (Quran 4:24)

Summary of Koranic quotes regarding women

Menstruating women are unclean, and men must stay away from them. Women are men's "fields," and men can have sex with them whenever they want. Men are superior to women and have authority over them, while women must obey men or risk being beaten. A woman is worth one-half of a man. Muslim men can own sex slaves.

The Hadiths

The hadiths have provided for several aspects of sharia law, including a man's ability to have multiple wives, to marry an infant and to have sex with underage girls as well as sex slaves.

The Prophet used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.

Sahih Bukhari 7.62.6

The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).

Sahih Bukhari 7.62.88, 7.62.64

According to the hadiths, most of the people in hell are women, who are "deficient in intelligence":

Once Allah's Apostle went out to [offer the prayer]... Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." 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."

Sahih Bukhari 1.6.301

    'Islamization' of Paris: a Warning to the West

    I'm sure that there's absolutely nothing to worry about though (SARCASM).

  • Lila  - Arab-Islamic word - largest apartheid!
    Arab apartheid / Muslim apartheid are the largest 'apartheid systems', that exist today.

    Virtually all non-Arabs and/or non-Muslims are second class citizens. Among minorities that feel the wrath of the bigoted Arab-Muslim world are:

    * Berbers (native N. Africans, before Arab invasion: Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco).

    * Copts (indigenous Egyptians suffer from both: Arab racism and Islamic bigotry).

    * Kurds (Examples include: [Saddam's] Iraq and Syria.

    * Blacks, in Arab lands or in Arab ruled Africa like the genocide in the Sudan and slavery in both Sudan and in Mauritania.

    * Asians, particularly in the Gulf Arab states. [Sex slaves or "plain" slaves).

    * Maronites-Christians [Native Lebanese] suffer from both Arab ethnic racism and religious bigotry, like the massacres in the 1970s by local Muslims and by Palestinian/Syrian forces.

    * Assyrians, are/have been persecuted both racially and religiously. Still very much marginalized in Iraq, for example.

    * Iran is not an Arab country but racism is huge against Kurds, Jews, Turkmens, etc. So is anti-non-Muslim bigotry against Christians, Bahai, Zoroastrians and other in the Islamic republic.

    * Turkey is also a Muslim non-Arab country and Kurds, Greeks, Armenians and other ethnicities have been through much suffering, genocide. Still there's great wide racism against non-Turkish ethnic groups including racism against Alevis and against Kurds. Turkey's policy in Cyprus has also been recognized as a real Apartheid by many. All non-Muslims are automatically branded as "foreigners" at the "moderate" Islamic supremacy of Turkey.

    * Chinese, Indians, Christians and other non-Malay, in Malaysia; Chinese, Christians in Indonesia, have long been subject to persecution, race-riots, discrimination, racism and bloodshed.

    * Non-Muslims or the 'wrong kind of Muslims,' in Pakistan; Iraq; Afghanistan, are oppressed and targeted in deadly attacks.

    * All non-Muslims in 'Islamic Apartheid state' of S. Arabia.

    * Asians [slaves!] in the Gulf Arab states.

    * Bedoons in Kuwait.

    * Al-Akhdam in Yemen.

    * Gypsies in Jordan.

    ---

    Islamic-Arab "Palestine" apartheid:

    * Ahmadiyya Muslims are harshly persecuted in (Pakistan and in) the "Palestinian" Apartheid authority and/or by Hamas.

    * Descendants of slaves of the Bedouins are still stigmatized by racist "Palestinians".

    * Christians are discriminated, persecuted against [especially since Y. Arafat's Islamization of Bethlehem], by Palestine authority and Hamas regime.

    ---

    From anti-Jewish Apartheid:

    - The Arab racist apartheid against the Jews attempted genocide ever since the 1920s, (Like Mufti of "Palestine" at his incited massacres, and Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood who called simply 'to kill Jews').
    - Chased out a Million Jews in the late 1940.
    - Has boycotted and demonized [every logical defensive action is branded "racist"] the Jewish democratic-free-equal-to-all state only because it's the "other". It is neither Muslim nor purely Arab.
    - The Arab racist world continues to play with Arab-Palestinians (grandchildren of Arab immigrants) like ping-pong against Israel.

    ---

    AND THE BEACON OF APARTHEID HAS THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE MULTI-RACIAL ISRAEL'S BEAUTIFUL DEMOCRACY [THAT OFTEN GIVES PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT FOR ITS ARABS OVER JEWS] WITH THIS TERMINOLOGY?

    THE ARAB DECEPTIVE PROPAGANDA MACHINE THAT ACTS AS IF ARAB-ISLAMIC GENOCIDAL CAMPAIGN IS NOT OBVIOUS TO DETERMINE ISRAEL'S EXTRA SECURITY MEASURES [INCLUDING AN ANTI-TERROR / ANTI-MASSACRES WALL].

    As if we don't know the 'Arab oil lobby's power' over the UN and other major international organizations and some African officials to go along with the Arab propaganda.

    Despite some non-Arabs who jump on this wagon out of: ignorance, of confusion complex, or of sheer bigotry, never forget, that this entire "apartheid, racism" label was invented by Arab racists ganging up in the UN since 1975.

    Even promoter of the apartheid-slur [which was actually invented in 1961 by A. Shukairy, who was the henchman and spokesman for the infamous Mufti al-Husseini the Mufti, notorious for being A. Hitler's ally and adviser on exterminating the Jews. Shukairy also called to throw the Jews into the sea] J. Carter admitted on CNN: "I recognize that Israel is a wonderful democracy with freedom of speech and equality of treatment under the law between Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis." edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0612/12/acd.02.html

    Incidentally, the lying Pallywood machine also created a fake "memorandum" claiming that N. Mandela ever uttered this crappy analogy.

    Last but not least:

    Isn't it true that the anti-Jewish "apartheid" slur campaign is: 1) to demonize Jews and 2) to hide the real apartheid practiced by the Arab-Islamic world?
  • anony  - Is it possibale to propagate ISLAM trough preachin
    The very history of ISLAM and ISLAMISM is fundamentally based on opening war to propagate the doctrine until now ... other religions don't fight to add up some more believers they just preach and the believers believe!

    What is wrong with ISLAM scholars? ... Don't they have a preaching to do rather than fighting all other who are non Muslims ? How is a drug dealer gang and a jihad fighter different? they both want you to buy what you don't prefer to have because they believe it should be that way!

    How would Muslims feel if "Mekka" and "Medina" will get blasted by missile just because they choose to be Muslims? ... how dose it feel to get forced to believe what you don't believe?

    I feel like the whole jihad thing is a little out of peaceful option ... and if the one who have a good military might should enforce its ideology of religion guess who would do what!? ... that doesn't sound comforting isn't it ?

    Any ways it is not Christians who made Ismael fled ... it is GOD the almighty according to bible ,i don't know if it is the same in Qur'an!
    so what is to jihad about...?

Schoch, Professor of Natural Science College of General Studies at Boston University; Author, Pyramid Quest, Voyages of the Pyramid Builders and Voices of the Rocks

Murdock's Who Was Jesus? had been available to me." —Bob Semes, Retired university professor of History and Religion, Founder and Executive Director of The Jefferson Center

Dr. W. Sumner Davis, Fellow, Royal Astronomical Society; Member, American Geophysical Union; Affiliate, New York Academy of Science

"Ms. Murdock is one of only a tiny number of scholars with the richly diverse academic background (and the necessary courage) to adequately address the question of whether Jesus Christ truly existed as a walking-talking figure in first-century Palestine." —David Mills, Atheist Universe

"Thank you, Acharya, for the important work you are doing. Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of the Christ just might be the best short introduction to Biblical scholarship yet." —David Bergland, 1984 Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate, Libertarianism In One Lesson
