The Qur’an directs men to beat women from whom they “fear disobedience.” We have seen women who don’t abide by Sharia restrictions disfigured with acid in Pakistan and elsewhere. This is just one more manifestation of the empire of fear that Sharia creates: virtue is enforced by terror, which means that it isn’t really virtue at all.
“Islamic State Disfigure 15 Women With Acid,” by Hazhar Mamuzini, BasNews, February 9, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Al-Khansa, the all-female Islamic State (IS) brigade, have arrested and punished 15 women in Mosul.
Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) official from Mosul Saed Mamuzini told BasNews that al-Khansa arrested the 15 women for failing to wear the niqab.
They were arrested on Sunday in the Salamiya neighborhood of Mosul.
Mamuzini said al-Khansa militants disfigured the women by pouring acid on their faces.
“They have implemented this punishment so that other women in the city will never consider removing or not wearing the niqab,” he said.
Last month members of IS executed a number of women by stoning. They were accused of adultery.

So… this acid atrocity… There’s plenty of atrocity mandated in Islam’s texts, but where did Mohammad say a woman should be maimed for not covering her face? Did I miss that part?
jayell says
No, you probably didn’t miss it because it most likely wasn’t there. I don’t think they had these acid substances available in Mohammed’s day, at least not in his part of the world. So this is probably their way of brining their lovely culture up to date by using ‘modern’ substances to improve the efficacy of their typically Islamic social interaction. Their idea of ‘progress’ I supposed you could say.
St. Croix says
Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I do believe the Qu’ran does not even command that women be covered. Except that the wives of the “prophet” would cover themselves if other men were present.
Somewhere along the line there has come about an interpretation, fatwa or whatever on this I suppose. Maybe someone who knows more about it can shed some light.
The more “Westernized” Muslims who don’t cover up are actually not out of line with the Qu’ran. But they are out of line with the Muslims who have decided this is now a command from on high in some way. The fact that Mo’s wives were covered would be enough, I imagine, to give them the idea it is what all women need to do. After all, he was “the perfect man.” (Gag!) Wretched religion that they perpetuate–may it be exposed for what it really is–and obliterated from the face of the earth.
Jim says
Full covering of women was put in place as part of the Wahabi Reformation approximately two hundred years ago in Saudi Arabia. Mr. Wahabi, a cranky, fundamentalist, preached there was too much Western effluence. He must have
been pissed at not having a bear breasted beauty in his house.
DVult says

Salome says
Christianity’s just as bad. After all, it was only about 50 years ago that Western Christian women had to wear hats in church.
Ursula says
Having to wear hats in church, (which wasn’t enforced, by the way) is not even comparable to having to cover up every inch of skin, including the face, or else face horrible punishments.
If you didn’t wear a hat in church (and I never had to in Germany), you weren’t stoned or disfigured for punishment.
So no, Christians are NOT every bit as bad. Muslims are simply evil!
BC says
SALOME it was a requirement and a social custom not mandatory, not to mention a fashion statement and they did not have to wear hats all the time.unless they wished to. Also no punishments were issued if you did not comply.
TheBuffster says
Hey, you guys, I think Salome was kidding.
Matthieu Baudin says
When the leader of the new ISIS Caliphate is killed I suggest that his remains be fed to wild boars as anything else would be too dignified for him.
gp says
IS just a group of evil wicked savages, all hell bound, serving their master Satan. What vile scum they are.
BC says
Do we not keep hearing from Muslim women no less and apologists that it choice not compulsory. Try telling that to the girls who try to stop wearing it.
Betty says
I am 74 years old and it never was mandatory to wear a hat in church. where did that come from?
TheBuffster says
Betty, when I was growing up I was told that Catholic women and girls were supposed to cover their heads in church, but I never knew that to be a requirement for Protestants. Protestant women wore hats because it was an opportunity to wear their good hats. Also gloves. Back in the 50’s and early 60’s everybody wore little white cotton gloves to church. But it was *fashion*.
Not being Catholic, I can’t vouch for it being *necessary* for a Catholic woman to cover her head in Church back then, but that’s what I was told.
