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

Imam beaten with shoe live on Egyptian TV show for saying Muslim women don’t have to wear veil

Oct 4, 2016 11:18 am By Robert Spencer

Here is yet another indication of why we don’t see more genuine and sincere Muslim reformers.

“Shoes and Chairs Go Flying in Egyptian TV Studio When Debate Turns into ‘Freestyle Wrestling,'” MEMRI, September 26, 2016:

TV host Mohamed Al-Ghiety complained of exhaustion and of low blood pressure after his two guests, Egyptian lawyer Nabih Al-Wahsh and and self-proclaimed “Mufti of Australia” Mustafa Rashed, got into a physical fight following an exchange of insults between the Islamist lawyer Al-Wahsh and Sheikh Rashed, who is known for his ultra-permissive fatwas, including one that permits the consumption of alcohol. Although the show went off air after accusations of apostasy and mental illness were exchanged, Al-Ghiety returned to the set after a 13-minute commercial break, and aired the footage of the brawl twice, with running commentary. The program aired on the Egyptian LTC TV channel on September 26.

“Controversial Australian imam is attacked with a shoe, live on an Egyptian talk show after insisting Muslim women should NOT have to wear the veil,” by Ollie Gillman, Daily Mail Australia, October 4, 2016:

A controversial Sydney imam has been attacked with a shoe while live on air on an Egyptian talk show.

Mostafa Rashid was discussing whether Muslim women should wear headscarves when Egyptian lawyer Nabih al-Wahsh took off his shoe and beat him round the head with it.

Mr Rashid, a moderate Muslim, has courted controversy in the past by saying women should not have to wear the veil and declaring that drinking alcohol is not forbidden.

His comments on headscarves infuriated Mr al-Wahsh, who removed his shoe and tried to assault Mr Rashid with it….

    SUGGESTION: FIND A LEFTIST + “FEMINIST” + LGBT WEBSITE — for example the Huffington Post — and send a link to this MEMRI SOURCE video. Try to find a specific RELEVANT person at whatever website you choose. HuffPo, for example has a section religion.

    If you really want to annoy the unlucky reader of your email, include a few remarks about how whatever website you contact really should, as a duty to women around the world, start an interfaith “dialogue” with the guy who did the shoe jihad.

      To jihad3tracker- As per your 11:31 am comment, I love it! Great idea! Unfortunately I am a techno dunce so all I could do is make a call.

        Hello again Linde —

        There is nothing inadequate about calling in situations like this one. In fact, I admire you for taking the time and potential risk of actually doing an old fashioned voice affirmation of your opinion.

        I should follow your example, to be quite honest regarding my own use of email !

    • jihad3tracker says

      Oct 4, 2016 at 11:36 am

      BY THE WAY, as of now — 11:35 Eastern US time — there is a message that MEMRI TV is performing “maintenance” and so is off the air temporarily.

      I have noticed at least twice previously over the last 2 years that when Robert posted an especially embarrassing video, for some reason which OF COURSE WAS COMPLETELY COINCIDENTAL that MEMRI was also unavailable.

    just an example of how Muslims first impulse is always to react with violence towards those who hold different beliefs. even if they are members of the same demonic cult

    There’s no business like shoe business. The sole argument of a good Muslim debater, it’s what makes Muslim courtrooms so exciting.

      Hello Jack —

      That comment makes you a real heel ! Was your morning wake-up beverage laced with sarcastic pun powder?

      Next time provide a more polished reply. But please don’t take that as hostile — I will never sock you with archly canted invective.

      BTW, for a vintage example of Islamic jurisprudence, go to YouTube and find “Disorder In The Court”, enacted by early experts on the Trilogy — distinguished imams Larry, Moe, and Curly.

        jihad3tracker,
        Each of the schools of Islamic jurisprudence teach what in the Arabic is known as “Shoo fly.”

        You did know that “nyuk nyuk nyuk” was the first war cry Muhammad taught before “Allahu akbar” was revealed? Probably why his early efforts weren’t successful.

        Yes, triple shots of caffeine and monkey adrenalin in the morning while blasting music, today I’m listening to Shoebert, of course.

    Leave that veil alone imam.

    The Islamic veil is Islam’s most ‘sacred’ symbol.
    Without the veil Islam falls apart.

    The Islamic veil symbolizes every virgin’s cherry red lips.
    It is every Muslim man’s most favorite rape fetish.
    It is a battered child in a bloody dress.

    Learned moslem scholars = savages. Just two savages fighting it out over one of the more popular topics in the moslem world: the enslavement and oppression of women. One wants a little bit less, the other wants a little bit more — which naturally results in violence in the name of Allah. Nothing new here.

  6. Cretius says

    Yes throwing a shoe is a real insult to Arabs. This exhibition shows how little tolerance many Muslims have for differing opinion. Such people cannot be reasoned with. For some brute force is all they understand.

  7. Westman says

    And I thought the only entertainment today was the Vice-Presidential debate. Let’s have more of this so that the world can view the peace that Islam’s subjugation of women brings as men fight over the “proper” level of control.

    When I see a Muslima all covered up in 125 deg F weather, I just see a slave to other slaves of “Allah”. The Quranic allowance to beat women appears as simply assigning a whipping object for the frustrations that Islam creates for men, as it wastes their lives.

    Funny enough the family name of the lawyer ‘al-wahsh’ means wild animal . . . how properly named

    All Muslim men should have to veil their faces in the interest of keeping the planet beautiful.

    This is good. Public exposure of real Islamic messaging is important to rebuff the “ISIS is not Islamic” meme.

    We need to struggle against the globalist intention in our country, including the jihadist migration they have inflicted on western nations.

    What do I know about what they must do about these intentions in their nations?

    The world isn’t a softdrink commercial yet. If it ever will be.

    I’ve been around Muslims…those that were training in the Military, at Lackland AFB…They’re not like what this video portrays. They’re actually pretty normal, most of them fathers, married with kids…fairly decent people. But the problem is at the top, the Clerics, the Religious leaders, those that utter the Fatwas, the edicts that call for extremist behavior…In fact, Obama should be calling for their ouster because these Muslim Radicals call for TYRANNY NOT FREEDOM.

  15. Jack Diamond says

    Oct 7, 2016 at 2:07 am

    The clerics are responsible and accountable but they are not the source of this extremist behavior.
    The extremist behavior is called for by Muhammad himself, by his “perfect” example, and by his puppet Allah in the immutable, unchangeable Qur’an which sets that tyranny in stone.

    The problem is not at the top, the problem is at the cold black heart of Islam. Good Muslims submit to it
    (Islam means submission). Bad Muslims secularize and fit in with the infidels (today, but maybe not tomorrow) until the shoes start hitting them. Hint: all true Muslims want shari’a.
