“War is deceit,” said Muhammad, and these women got the message: they actually have the audacity to say that girls who were kidnapped, enslaved, and forcibly converted have been “liberated” — echoing, mind you, the words of Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau. Anyway, here’s how Islam liberates women:
The Qur’an likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used by a man as he wills: “Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will” (2:223).
It declares that a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man: “Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her” (2:282).
It allows men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with slave girls also: “If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice” (4:3).
It rules that a son’s inheritance should be twice the size of that of a daughter: “Allah (thus) directs you as regards your children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females” (4:11).
Worst of all, the Qur’an tells husbands to beat their disobedient wives: “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” (4:34). It allows for marriage to pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures “shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated” (65:4).
“Narrated ‘Aisha: The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, “Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people).” I said, ‘You have made us (i.e. women) dogs.’ I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him.” — Sahih Bukhari 1.9.490
And finally, isn’t it great that these women who sympathize with Boko Haram are in Great Britain? What could possibly go wrong? Her Majesty’s Government is busy guarding the nation against “Islamophobes,” so all is well.
“U.K. Islamist Women: Kidnapped Nigerian Girls’ Conversion to Islam Is No Surprise. Islam Liberates Women,” MEMRI, May 19, 2014:
Following are excerpts from a video of U.K. Islamist women responding to the kidnapping of 276 Nigerian girls by Boko Haram, which was posted on the Internet on May 19, 2014:
U.K. Islamist woman, with a niqab covering her face: The kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls in Nigeria by Boko Haram has once again focused the world’s attention on Islam and the treatment of women. Images of the girls covered in Khimar [head scarf] and Jilbab [robe], declaring the Testification of Faith, have raised the question of whether these girls have been forced to convert to Islam. What should raise even more suspicion is the response of the Western world to the whole kidnapping incident. The U.S., Israel, Britain, France, and others have offered their support and assistance in locating the girls. But why are they so bothered about 276 Nigerian girls?
[…]
The fact of the matter is that the Nigerian government does not care about these girls, nor do the Western governments. Rather, they have their own strategic and economic interests in Nigeria. The truth is that the allies fear the growing support in African countries for the establishment of an Islamic state. The truth is that the U.S. and the U.K. don’t care about the welfare of women even in their own countries.
[…]
Other U.K. Islamist woman, with a niqab covering her face: In light of this, it is no surprise that tens of thousands of women around the world embrace Islam every year – because Islam is the only religion that liberates women from the shackles of slavery, and subservience to human beings.
[…]
So no one should be surprised at the conversion to Islam of the Nigerian schoolgirls. We pray and we ask Allah for the safe return of all our sisters, such as Aafia Siddiqui, our sisters forgotten in Saudi prisons, and our sisters all over the world.
Jeff says
We must thank Muslims such as these for showing the world how the Islamically indoctrinated mind works; it is a very disturbing form of mental illness which presents itself as a form of delusion necessary to avoid the inherent cognitive dissonance found in the practice and reality of Islam versus being a decent honest human being. Muslims must lie, not just to us infidels, but more importantly to themselves to justify their “faith”. And many actually believe the lies.
Angemon says
“Islam is the only religion that liberates women from the shackles of slavery, and subservience to human beings.”
So how come their kidnappers are still holding them prisoners?
Here’s a little article discussing the “liberation” islam gives women:
http://www.newenglishreview.org/Bill_Warner/The_Submission_of_Women_in_Islam/
“The principle of submission means that one must rule over the other. No surprise, the women must submit to the men.
CSPI measured the submission of the female to the male by analyzing the Islamic doctrine. All of Islam’s doctrine is found in the Koran, the Hadith (Traditions) and the Sira (the life of Mohammed), the Trilogy. We collected every verse, paragraph and sentence that mentioned women and their power relationships. These were all categorized into women being superior, inferior, equal or merely mentioned.
In 4% of the cases, women were superior, in 91% of the cases they were inferior and in 5% they were equal. But there is a big catch. The only way that women are equal is after death on Judgment day, when men and women will be judged on how well they followed the Koran and the Sunna. And guess what? The only way to follow the Koran and the Sunna is to obey men. Equality then means women obeying men.
The woman is superior by being a mother, who must obey her husband. Therefore, the perfect woman on Judgment day will be a mother who has obeyed all the men in her life. Thus, a woman is subordinate to a man in 100% of all of the Koran, Hadith and the Sira.“
Rezali Mehil says
Hello all,
Well I am not surprised by the muslimas utterance about liberation….(and that is not me BTW…I am far prettier than that).
I have been saying such for a time here…and have been ridiculed and accused of being a “comedian”. So now other muslimas are saying the same …and what do you say now?
The Boko’s have taken time and effort to buy the necessary cloth… have tailors on standby to cut the right lengths and sew to the girls tastes.
Time is a great healer…passions, anger and hopelessness is extinguished using this 4th dimension. This will ring true for the girls and the former parents.
I hate the BOKO….they are misusing Islam for their own purposes, it is for Allah SWT to make decisions for each precious human.
But it has happened now….so I hope that time is also giving hope to the girls…it is the 1st set of days of their new life…The girls are being educated …they are the next set of “rockers” via the Koran…Allah SWT keep them safe and as happy as possible for now.
More Later….

When I read your comments, I prayed for you. I was just so struck by the vileness and heartbreaking sadness of what you said, in how it revealed how dark your heart is. You realize what you are saying above is apologizing for rape, right?
“I have been saying such for a time here…and have been ridiculed and accused of being a “comedian”. So now other muslimas are saying the same …and what do you say now?”
That other Muslims are using the same faulty excuse to cover their crimes you predicted they would doesn’t make it right.
“The Boko’s have taken time and effort to buy the necessary cloth… have tailors on standby to cut the right lengths and sew to the girls tastes.”
Does them making clothes make kidnapping and rape alright? Are you saying that they care about the girls, so who cares if they raped them?!
“Time is a great healer…passions, anger and hopelessness is extinguished using this 4th dimension. This will ring true for the girls and the former parents.”

In other words is oh well, it happened. Both the girls and their parents will come to accept they are muslim?! That it’s reasonable they stay with their kidnapper/rapists? Is that what you mean by “healing”? THIS IS BEYOND WORDS HOW HORRIFYINGLY VILE THIS IS!
This whole post has made me physically shudder in disgust.
I need to go watch Monty Python or something. Just. UGH.

Great comment, and I second that, Foolster! …double *ugh* 🙁

So if the west were to imprison all muslims, but first took the trouble to be sure we had ample halal food, korans available, and ample cells to house them all, we would be acting as benevolent hosts?
We would be doing so for your own good, of course.

I say that it’s an international troupe and that predictability is bad for comedy.

they are misusing Islam for their own purposes,
Exactly how are they doing that? Are you accusing Boko of taqfir?
Maybe you should go to the Boko office in your village and file a complaint.

I bet this summons many fond memories for you, Rezali, as your mother and her kin took the time and effort to get a sharp shard of glass, and stood by to mutilate your clitoris and labia just the way your prophet ordered.
Every time you sit or squat I hope it brings tears to your eyes [sigh]
JIMJFOX says
Next— female genital mutilation. Another blessing from Allah.
You are completely f***ing MAD

And, I suspect, that liberal feminists in the UK and USA will eat up this c**p about Islam “liberating women”.
Jay Boo says
Islam is truly liberating.
It allows Muslims to say the most horrendous things with a strait face that otherwise they would be far too ashamed to dare to say.
John Hartley says
These women are so ashamed of their total lies that they have to disguise themselves.
duh_swami says
‘Free at last. free at last, thank Boko Haram, we are free at last…Liberation is really good. The really good stuff is yet to come.
Equality under all circumstances, treated like goddesses, resumed education, affordable health care insurance, choice of clothing. A decent wage of $10.10 minimum is a must…

And don’t forget the genital mutilation.

john spielman says
what a vile thing to say to Carolyne, Rezali you should be ashammed of yourself!. Your qoute just shows how absurd your islam is and how uttterly deceived by Allah/Satan you and these women are!
Being forced to wear a black garbage bag with eye slits, forced to sit home unless you are escorted by a male relative, forced to share a husband, unequal treatment before the courts (testamony of a woman is only half that of a man) forced genital mutilation, and the fact that three witnesses must confirm that a woman was rapped to avoid being killed for adultery. Yes Rezali you and your Islam are wicked indeed and God will bring this down upon your head (and all muslims as well) for this evil!
kaz says
not a scholar of islam (or any religion), but I believe Aisha made a comment to the effect that she noticed that whatever mohammed (pbuh) wanted, allah (the merciful) commanded. if that was not a declaration that mohammed (pbuh) was making up his religion as he went along, then I don’t know what would be. Aisha obviously knew exactly where she stood in the Islamic scheme: the most privileged of slaves, but still a slave.
another wife of mohammed (pbuh), who became his wife after mohammed (pbuh) murdered her family, had the nerve to poison the prophet (pbuh). it is too bad that the vile traitors of the west who love islam don’t even have the nerve to risk islamophobia by stopping the importation and coddling of muslims.
St. Michael Defend Us says
I do not know why youTHINK this scripture shows that your religion liberates women. You KNOW this passage, and passages with similar meanings, and yet you belong to such a religion, and are not ashamed?
You make no sense to me.
kaz says
wonderful. the girls are liberated. they are enlightened in the peaceful ways of islam. they can go home now, right?
no? thanks for clearing that up. now, if only the vile traitors of the west who think it is a good idea to import, succor, protect, coddle, and love islam were to somehow be paying attention. they aren’t, so stand by for further blessings from the religion of peace. 3 hundred kidnapped and debouched girls are enough to get the traitors of the west wringing their hands in helpless agony. how many would be required to get the traitors of the west to allow the deportation of our muslim tormenters? would 3 thousand be enough? 3 million? how many would be enough? what does it take for the cowardly traitors of the west to stop importing islam?
mark says
Please understand that Muslim women speak what Muslim men want them to say.
Walter Sieruk says
Those girls were kidnapped and enslaved. That sure is some strange way to “liberate” them ! Such warped and evil way of thinking is sadly the mindset of those militant jihadists of Boko Haram. To such kidapping and slavery as this the Bible does teach “Whoever steals someone to sell them as a slave or keep them for their own slave must be killed. Exodus 21:16. [ERV]
In other words, what those jihadists of Boko Haram was and is such a terrible affront that the Bible warrents death for them.
ahmad says
Islam is a lie.
Muhamad was a pedophile.
Qur’an is poison.
bill says
because Islam is the only religion that liberates women from the shackles of slavery, and subservience to human beings.
Anybody who believes this absurdity is either deluded or barking mad. Muslims have perfected the best system of brainwashing since the Nazis created the Hitler Youth
Loves God says
Rezali Mehil or any of the other women in praise of Islam
What if the shoe were on the other foot? meaning – what if there was a new religion preaching peace but used force to take you – yes you into their control. While under their control, you are gang raped. They don’t want to kill you (which would only make you a martyr). They want to humiliate you. They taunt you with claims that your god must want you to be raped because why else would he have allowed you to fall into their hands and the like. At some point, you get pregnant. They continue to rape you until finally, about at 6 months, they dump you back in your town. Not, mind you in the country where you can hang out and wait around until you have the child and return to your family as if you were never pregnant. No, they leave you for your family and friends to see that you need to be stoned for having sex out of marriage.
In sharia, there is no special exemptions for rape. It is ok to lie and say you converted to another faith if it saves your life but there isn’t something similar for rape.
So, I need specifics on how this is all liberating or it brings you freedom because I’m not seeing how it is any of that. I’m seeing you as having no choice, all the blame with an awful penalty in a bad situation.
So, what if the shoe were on the other foot? What then?
