Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State Ramadan rules: 2-hour workday, women forbidden to leave homes

May 18, 2015 9:36 am By Robert Spencer

IRAQ_-_Isis_invadesIslamic jihadists and supremacists constantly tout the decadence of the West, and preen about Islamic piety. But this piety is enforced at the point of a gun. This is just establishing an empire of fear. “ISIS issues new rules in Mosul for Ramadan,” Rudaw, May 17, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – In the city of Mosul that it controls, ISIS has declared that people will work only two hours a day and women will not be allowed to leave their homes during the fasting month.

The directive was announced through local television channels in Mosul and on banners posted in the streets, a source inside the city told Rudaw.

It decrees that residents old enough to fast will work only two hours during Ramadan, which begins after mid-June, and spend the rest of the day praying.

“Workers and employees should work only for two hours,” said the source, quoting the directive. “According to the new ISIS rules during holy Ramadan, women are prevented to go outside their homes.”

Earlier this month, ISIS issued a ban on men shaving their beards.

“In all Mosul mosques, preachers threatened men that if they shaves their beards they would be punished because it is against the Islamic Sharia law,” a source had told Rudaw.

    The Muslim ‘faith’ becoming clearer and clearer every day….

    “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

    Jesus Circa 33 A.D.

      Who created the Devil?

      Why?

      st john, king james i imagine

      i prefer the revised translations, and it says to me that we follow the paths of our parents, it is confrontational language but it’s not actually judgemental imo

      i am not sure he even literally means your parents, but the path of your consciousness

    people will work only two hours a day and women will not be allowed to leave their homes…”
    ************************************************
    There are different rules for *people* and *women*….once again to say, women are not people in islam.
    Why would women willingly become slaves of a beast that considers them dirt and of less value than dirty murderers, rapers of children, or the animals in the desert barnyard?
    And they can’t leave their homes at all for a month? Will they be allowed to throw off the burqa?

    • The Doctor says

      May 18, 2015 at 1:05 pm

      If my memory serves, they are only required to wear the burqa in the presence of unrelated males, but I am not familiar with the exact rules in the caliphate.

      and all the while a lonely guy like me dreams of a woman who is more than my equal, someone to help sort me out!

      it’s really really offensive

    The Secret

    The hidden secret is that the death cult of Islam is very fragile.
    Muhammad’s goal was always desecration of the human soul.
    Bear witness to the stillness of Satan’s mischief at midnight.
    Even as death turns dust there awaits new morning full of life.

    ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – In the city of Mosul that it controls, ISIS has declared that people will work only two hours a day

    So that’s two-hours worth of fighting per day – it seems like a great time to send an all-out, 24/7 offensive against the islamic state. Either they fight all IS warriors for two hours of smaller numbers through the whole day. Oh, who am I kidding? One of the mantras of islam is “necessity cancels obligation”. All there is to eat is pork? Feel free to do it. All there is to drink is booze? Feel free to stuff your face in. You’re under 27/7 assault by non-muslims? Screw the two-hour work limit.

    But here’s the thing: who’s going to make sure that people are only working two hours per day and praying the rest of the time? The religious police? Aren’t they allowed to work two hours per day too? And if people are going a whole month only working two hours per day, won’t businesses suffer? Everyone will be trampling over one another to go to the grocery store, where they can’t buy anything because the grocer is busy trying to buy from the supplier. Now, 1400 years ago, when islam was spreading by the sword and a token muslim force was left to rule over a majority of non-muslims in freshly conquered lands, they could get away with it. They could have a small number of people mooching off a larger population that worked more than 2 hours per day. But a muslim-only population? Hope you like to fast because you’ll have no other choice.

    And, of course, the whole “fasting during ramadan” thing is a misnomer. A more accurate description would be “stuffing your face at night while pretending devotion and piety during the day”:

      Fortunately for them, blowing yourself up only takes a moment. And you only have to do it once.

      • Jerry says

        Maybe we should accommodate them:

        A “Daisy Cutter” only “works” for, say a couple of seconds.

        There are 7200 seconds in two hours.

        It follows, therefore, that if we time things correctly
        we should be able to deliver about 3600 :”Daisy Cutters”
        there without offending too much their religious
        preferences, and at the same time facilitate their
        Jihadi aspirations by providing them with mass
        martyrdoms.

        It it worries you that not all found on the ground
        are IS combatants, you will find that in all
        predominantly Sunny neighbourhoods the
        “Non Combatant” population supports IS
        religiously, socially, materially and financially
        and thus stand to reap equally the benefits
        of Jihadi martyrdom.

    Two hour work days? This makes Western Europe seem like a sweat shop. Me, I’m sick and tired of working all the time, so I’m dropping this whole counter-Jihad thing. It was fun while it lasted, but I’m going over to the local mosque in Eden Prairie, converting er, reverting, to Islam and moving to Ramadi, where I can work for 2 hours a day and spend the extra time catching a tan in the blazing Arabian sun.

      May 18, 2015 at 12:24 pm

      That is hilarious! I thought the same thing!

      Oh wait – I’m a woman. This rule would make sitting in the sun completely out of the question for me. No thanks – I’ll take my freedom, the sunshine, and will continue going to work. 🙂

        We could go together. We’ll get a marriage of convenience in Vegas and take along the marriage license in case any official from the Religious Police asks who you’re with. Then we’ll sun ourselves, but always do it together cuz you can’t go out alone. The only trouble is, as you lay there alongside me in your burqa in the 120 degree heat that bakes Anbar Province gets every summer, you might suffocate and expire. But that’s what Islam makes Infidels do: suffocate and expire.

        • somehistory says

          May 18, 2015 at 2:59 pm

          And they don’t get to enjoy the fruits of your laboring…bacon, ham and pork chops… before expiring of suffocation. Too good for the likes of multiple murderers, anyway.

        • somehistory says

          May 18, 2015 at 3:01 pm

          Sorry….not saying infidels don’t deserve ham, bacon, etc…..but the murderers of infidels don’t get to and don’t deserve to enjoy.

          you get to cast off her burka, she lets her hair down like a feminist in a diff beer advert, you give her a bacon double cheeseburger and welcome her to the american way!!!

          only problem is, she has a beard

    Many reasons not to hire a Muslim!

    • katnis says

      May 18, 2015 at 12:29 pm

      I bet you are not the only one thinking this.

      Imagine being a business owner and having an employee request special accommodations for prayer. How could you run a business? How could you meet your deadlines? How would you hit your goals? Business doesn’t work that way.

      This thinking demonstrates why islam is not compatible in a society that bases success upon competition and the survival of the fittest.

      • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

        May 18, 2015 at 2:46 pm

        Actually, that’s already been done. As I recall, Hertz took a beating and paid an out of court settlement for not accommodating the special prayer needs of unhappy Somalis working for the company at the SeaTac Airport. The EEOC swooped in on behalf of the Somalis.

        Looking back on that episode now, maybe it could just be that the real reason they were pissed and filed their fake lawsuit was that they were forced to work an 8 hour a day, not the 2 hour work day of their cultural tradition.

    So they’ll trip over their beards pretty soon. That’s good news.

    Don’t you all know that muslims gain lots of weight during Ramadan? Guess why? Well, fasting is only from sunrise to sundown. They have to whole night for feasting and carousing and of course gaining weight thanks to the hyprocritical fasting.
    As for working two hours a day, most of them have never done a dencent day’s work in their lives.

  10. Lynn says

    May 18, 2015 at 4:14 pm

    The more I head about not shaving their beards I know I’m not going to trust any long bearded Muslims. When they let it grow it means they are in jihad mode. Anything over a 3 day beard and I’m paying attention. Seems silly but nuances are important.

  11. JamesonRocks says

    May 18, 2015 at 5:08 pm

    Well, this “women not leaving the house” thing presents quite a problem. How will they be able to volunteer as suicide bombers, without the permission of their husbands, if they can’t leave the house? Wait, I know… They’ll need to blow-up their own houses. Excellent!

    Islamic State Ramadan rules: 2-hour workday, women forbidden to leave homes
    ………………………….

    Muslims want to impose Shari’ah norms not just on other Muslims. but on Infidels. as well.

    • RIchard says

      May 19, 2015 at 8:09 am

      2 hour workday?

  15. Laura says

    May 19, 2015 at 8:04 am

    In UK we have some large organisations that tell their indigenous empolyees not to eat in front of their muslim colleagues during Ramadan, some even ‘suggest’ that they join in the fast, purely as a show of respect for the muslim religion.
    As far as I’m concerned, if muslims want to go all day without food and water they are welcome to it, but don’t expect me to join in, or respect the foolishness.

  16. Peggy says

    So if women are not allowed to leave their homes during a fasting month, who’s going to do the shopping?
    Maybe they will gather fruits and nuts and stash them away like forest critters.
    Two hour working day… they sure have a very strong union.
    Does that apply to the doctors and nurses as well? Do they have to stop mid surgery once two hours are up?
    How does this madness work?

    With this sort of a setup many will die from disease and half way through surgery. They should keep it up.
