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

Saudi family therapist explains wife-beating: “Some wives want to live a life of equality…This is a very grave problem.”

Apr 24, 2016 10:57 am By Robert Spencer

Spousal abuse is universal across all cultures, but only in Islam is it given divine sanction, both in the Qur’an and in Muhammad’s example:

“Men have authority over women because Allah 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 Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34

Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” — Aisha (Sahih Muslim 2127)

“Saudi Family Therapist Khaled Al-Saqaby Gives Advice on Wife Beating, Says: Women’s Desire for Equality Causes Marital Strife,” MEMRI, February 24, 2016:

In an online video, Saudi family therapist Khaled Al-Saqaby imparted advice on marital strife. Beating one’s wife, said Al-Saqaby, should be intended as a means of discipline, rather than to vent one’s anger, and should be carried out not with a rod or a sharp object, but with a tooth-cleaning twig or a handkerchief. “Unfortunately, some wives want to live a life of equality with their husband,” he said. “This is a very grave problem.” The video was posted on the Internet on February 24, 2016.

      I have been trying to show that islam is SATAN WORSHIP for decades! But no one seems to be listening.
      The truth of this comes right out of “sacred” muslim scripture! Including the very words of the founder of this savage, evil cult himself. If our bassackward “leaders” would just READ , this truth would quite surely leap from the pages.

        Apr 25, 2016 at 10:14 am

        I’m listening & I agree with you wholeheartedly – there’s nothing ‘holy’ about Islam, the quran or shari’a…all’re satanic, as the cult followers actions demonstrate!

      • linnte says

        Apr 25, 2016 at 6:35 pm

        David I empathise and agree with you! After reading the Qur’an and putting all the information together that I have learned so far, there is the only ONE conclusion. I didn’t even BELIEVE in Satan before I learned about all this. Now, I sure do, because there is an inescapable “missing link” in Islam. I mean, WHY would Muslims DO the things they do when other people have grown spiritually in the past 1400 years? There had to be some influence unseen. Satan is the only invisible answer.

        Yes it is clear that you are right. This is a horrific ideology that plays to the lusts of men. God is not the same as their “Allah”. I wish all of them could know the truth of God and his word.

      I agree with you, but Americans should learn from the European experience that came at a catastrophic price. If America stands firm, Europe might just wake up and change its demise course.
      The only positive sign in Europe comes from the Eastern European nations like Poland and Hungary.

      If this is true, and I do not doubt your word, then, soon you will be seeing the names of males on the Obituary notices. I believe”Organ Failure” will be the standard term used. As long as there is one White Christian woman left alive, allah & mo are in danger. We’re armed!

    Besides wife-beating, killing daughters for being girls is another disturbing Muslim trait. This is the kind if filth and garbage canda Imports from Afgjanistan:

    ‘I would do it again 100 times’: Muslim father ‘murdered his THREE daughters in honour killing for dating wrong boys’

    He added: ‘May the devil…(defecate) on their graves. Is that what a daughter should be? Would (a daughter) be such a whore?’

    • Berengaria says

      Apr 24, 2016 at 1:23 pm

      Muslim practices are almost identical
      to the Democrat Party practices of defecating on graves. In the South, We have to guard the graves of our brave kin from the wrath of the blacks, who are mostly Muslim converts.
      In the 1990s’when Willy Clinton declared war on Serbian Christians, they knew the Muslims,whom Clinton fought for, would desecrate their graves, so the Christians exhumed the remains & carried them to safety.
      We,White Christians, under the BO rule, have the very same problems.

    Muslims’ faith and “morals” are straight out of a Twilight Zone of evil. These muslim leaders have the mentality and moral understanding of a retarded child, as do most muslims. These are their leaders, preaching this perverted hatred of women and humanity. They truly are a lost people if freaks like this can garner an audience and respect. This moral darkness emanates from islamic ideology like a foul stink from a fresh pile of poop. Islam can’t help but produce dark thoughts and bad action, gods and prophets that teach murder and hate are a foundation built in hell.

    And we have a world full of muslims more than happy to nurture this hate if it will grant them brutal control over others. This is a 14 century tradition with these people and we’re seeing it still today, they are on a genocidal rampage and it’s killing our families, friends, and allies. I’m for all people, but I know enough not to make excuses for people that love evil and use fake religions to justify murder and human rights abuses. I see little value in “multiculturalism” if it means evil gets a free pass to kill the freedoms and peace of others. I’d much rather speak the truth and protect what’s best for humanity in the long run than take the path of conciliation because it’s easy. Because conciliation with this kind of evil, islam’s, does not bode well for the future of mankind.

    These Muslims are so afraid of women that they want to keep them under terror. And Muslim women think following sharia laws liberates them and Mo/allah actually liberated them and gave them equal rights. These women just as brain dead as Muslim men.

      I came across this video, right when it came out. It’s so bizzare, it’s like something from The Onion. When I tell friends about it they look at me quizically, and say, “Is this a joke”?

      (It seems to have kind of gotten a bit cut off at the end. I’d like to see the rest of it.).

      Any woman who willingly subjects herself to this mistreatment deserves it. Any man who does it is not a man, but some kind of animal. With apologies to animals for the insult.

      • DD says

        Apr 25, 2016 at 10:29 am

        In many of these countries the women have no way to leave a situation where they are beaten, or worse. And no, nobody “deserves” abuse.

      Just to remind people. There are those ‘feminists’ raising money to stop FGM, and helping Muslim women escape abuse etc. They do speak out. They are just often, the ‘small fry”, ‘local bunpkins’, so it doesn’t get covered.

      • Hope says

        Apr 24, 2016 at 6:00 pm

        LR, good point. Stories about real feminists exposing the abuse of muslim women are contrary to the liberal media’s pro-islamic agenda. Such reports, like all other criticism of islam, would be suppressed.

      • Carolyne says

        Apr 25, 2016 at 10:12 am

        Some years ago I read that Jay Leno’s wife is active in the anti-FGM movement. I didn’t know much about it then, but now that I do, I think that is so amazing. Of course, it has to remain rather secretive because of the violence Islam teaches against anyone who opposes any part of Islam. If I were in a position to do so, I’d practice a little MGM on this old goat. Maybe a Bobbit operation.

        • linnte says

          Apr 25, 2016 at 5:31 pm

          Carolyne, yes there are a few Feminists at work to help women! In England, Toni Bugle works to help women, especially young women including Muslim women who have been abused by men. She is currently running for police Commissioner in her district, and her platform is to allow police to do their job when bringing in any race of rapist, but especially Muslim rapists because the cops are told to ignore them for fear of bringing down claims of racist to the Police Department. She is on Facebook.

      Apr 24, 2016 at 5:43 pm

      Al-Saqaby is somewhat hampered

      the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) assured that the angel would take what from the Mother Book would leave its “Merciful and Beneficent” attributes is obscurity, and, instead would emphasize all that pertains to treatment of wives and women.

      seems the angel emphasized some of what YAHWEH said to Eve: “…he shall rule over you.” (Genesis 3: 16d) and ignored what YAHWEH said to Adam and the serpent. [this info of course got from revelations not given to the Arabs … but somehow referred to]

      thus the battle between the sexes began, which, it seems, the allah god sought to eliminate, i.e. there should be no battle, thereby ignoring the complaint of compliant women who seek mercy so as to make them weaker and lesser and chattel..

      the “therapist” has only limited knowledge of what can be.

    How odd! I just watched a video debate with Robert Spencer and a Imam Mustapha somebody about “women being equal in Islam”. Robert so won that debate. It’s from 2011.

    I just have to say that using a tooth stick to beat someone with is moot. I think when Muhammad held up his tooth cleaning stick, he wasn’t saying ” use something this size”, he was saying Use THIS kind of wood.

    • Carolyne says

      Apr 25, 2016 at 10:16 am

      I thought it was funny that the “Therapist” even said a tooth cleaning stick. Don’t they have toothbrushes in Saudi Arabia?

      • linnte says

        Apr 25, 2016 at 5:34 pm

        I expect that tooth stick gets pretty nasty after a while. Especially if it is a hard to come by wood, say, in England! Hahahaha!

    • linnte says

      Apr 24, 2016 at 5:16 pm

      Because they CANT say anything “bad” about Islam! It’s considered Apostasy! That’s a death sentence. Even if they had a mouthful of Muhammad’s shit, they would have to say something that is approved by the religion or the law. Being a Muslim automatically means you are a liar. I watched Robert and a Muslim debate last night about women’s rights and he ONLY quoted Qur’an, and the Muslim STILL did not say “yes, you’re right, it says that”. All he could do was call Robert evil and an invited of hate. So when their OWN SCRIPTURE is even quoted, they can’t admit ” wrong “!!!!

      What was ‘racially prejudiced’ about linnte’s comment ?

      You remind me of some of the foolish PC trained children I used to teach. When describing Martin Luther King as black, they told me I was being ‘racist’. Facts is facts, chumbawumba.

    • linnte says

      Apr 25, 2016 at 5:20 pm

      Mickey, it’s not racist, it’s the truth. I am saying that the goal of Europe and British governments is to create “multiculturalism” which will, in the end, prevent it. Everyone will be the same. Same color, same religion,(Islam)same genetics, same language etc. Where is the multiculturalism when THAT happens? What is so dastardly about wanting to preserve ones own culture, whether that are black, white red or yellow? How do you know what color I am? I abhore racism. I glory in our differences. Truly, I do. But when a plan exists to wipe out the differences to create a One World Order of all peanutbutter colored people who have nothing to exchange in the way of culture, THAT is horrifying. Imagine all the cats in the world with the same markings? But the worst part is the PLAN. And that’s what I think we are up against. Bless you and yours!

    As a female who dealt with an ex-husband who also thought that hitting was the way to keep a marriage intact, I can tell you that simmering fury is the result, and the male involved should carefully consider if he really knows what is going on in his ‘marriage’ – he is actually under DIRE threat himself – any time that female could explode and decide nothing is worth staying unresponsive for, all is worth fighting for and physical violence is a 2-way deal !!! You are living with a very dangerous woman, and maybe your apparent male dominance is not what you think it is ! Mine eventually discovered I had zero respect left for him and I took off to recreate my own life away from him and his nastiness. He was very confused but still had no idea how VERY close he came to being stabbed in the night or clobbered with a hammer – that much fury is right there under the surface ! So – yes go ahead all you male fools – just pat yourselves on the back for being such ‘men’ – but remember what I said- SHE is not the little quiet thing you think she is ! BTW – It is a wonderful thing to meet males who are appalled at this behavior in some of their peers ! Thank you guys for your humanity and respect !

      VCR, I too was at a point in an abusive relationship where I made the choice to leave before murdering my partner. My method of choice was basically undetectable. He was on digoxin and also really enjoyed tea, when he wasn’t drinking. So, I was going to make pots and pots of foxglove tea which is a cardiac glycoside. Because he took digoxin every day, no one would have known the difference.

      Man I am so glad I didn’t do that! And I too appreciate the men here who are gentlemen!
