Muslim Chaplain of the Canadian army: Beat your wife, but keep it private

Dec 17, 2016 12:22 pm By Robert Spencer

Why would anyone expect him to say anything different? The mandate to beat one’s wife is in the Qur’an:

“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)

“Muslim chaplain of Canada’s army explains Quranic verse on wife beating,” by Jonathan D. Halevi, CIJ News, December 15, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Dr. Iqbal Al-Nadvi (Mohammad Iqbal Masood Al-Nadvi) is the Muslim Chaplain of the Canadian army, the Chairperson of Canadian Council of Imams (Canada’s top imam) and the Amir (President) of Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Canada, a nation-wide Islamic organization that is striving “to build an Exemplary Canadian Muslim Community” by “total submission to Him [Allah] and through the propagation of true and universal message of Islam.”

His previous positions include the following: Director of Al-Falah Islamic School in Oakville, Ontario from 2004 to 2011, Imam of Muslim Association of Calgary Islamic Center from 1998-2004 and as a member of the University of Calgary chaplaincy team.

On February 16, 2015, Iqbal Nadvi delivered a speech on “Family: The Building Blocks of Society” and “Family Life in Islam.” Among other things, Nadvi explained the Quranic verse dealing with wife beating. Verse 34 of Surah (chapter) Al-Nisa’ in the Quran reads:

“Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard.  But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance.  [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them [lightly].  But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.”

Nadvi said that the Quran allows the husband to beat his wife under certain conditions, but because relationship between husband and wife is “scared” Islam, it has to be carried out as part of the attempts to resolve conflicts and must stay behind closed doors. Only if it fails to fix the marital relationship, the couple can resort to mediation and later to divorce. The following is an excerpt from Nadvi’s speech (19:24-22:10):

“In Islam as [inaudible] Qadar says many rulings (احكام) of the Islamic Law (الشريعة) in Islam, in Quran, [are] given just in concept, in brief, rights? But the family issue is covered by Quran in a very detailed way. Not only what we should do, but even what you do if face some problems. How [do] you solve it.

“So in that sense for example we see that the protection of family is covered by Islam in three layers,right?

“The first layer is – solve the problem mutually between husband and wife, right? In many times it happens that in these days and Glory be to Allah, meaning (يعني) when we are attacked, right? and Islam is criticized that Islam promotes suppose wife beating, right? and so many things.

“So many people when they translate the word fa-idribuhunna (فاضربوهن) they translate, change the meaning of it. [inaudible]

“Me, of example, I want to say one thing. First thing is that the is the ruling (حكم) of the Quran. It is existing. I can not change it. But I need to know from the messenger of Allah (رسول الله) peace and blessing be upon him (صلى الله عليه وسلم) what it means? How [do] we implement it? Do we have an example from messenger of Allah (رسول الله) peace and blessing be upon him (صلى الله عليه وسلم) that he ever used this order? Right?

“So it means what? It means only that Islam is saying that the husband and wife issue and relation is so sacred, is so important, it must not be exposed to others. It supposes to be solved among each other. It is the first layer.

“And this is the point where for example Quran says if you are taking the issue, and Hadith says, if you are doing this thing, you can beat or can leave [avoid sleeping with the wife]. But why? Just keep the issue among each other.…

        I love that most of these fine muslim clerics are ‘doctors’. They graduated from some bogus dessert rat hole school where they are taught how to teach others to beat their wives. That’s a hell of a Phd! This cleric is great. He uses all sorts of big words that eventually get around to telling muslims (and the rest of us infidels) how mohamed wants them to behave including how it’s actually beneficial to beat their wives only when required of course. Bless them for being so kind, thoughtful and intelligent.

      However they would not like to hear that and deny it, claiming to be abhorred, down there, secretly, they “admire” strong hand of any abusive husband (boyfriend, fiancée). If that would not be the case, we would not see so many instances of wifes being abused even in our culture. Perhaps that is what attracts men to Islam (to rule over women); perhaps that is what attracts those women, too, because deep down there they DESIRE to be ruled.

          GravenI I THINK-NOT SAYING THAT I KNOW FOR SURE- what Voytak G is referring to is, many times, when a husband; boy friend, etcis charged or arrested for physical abuse, the spouse, girl friend, whatever- drops charges, and goes back to living with the abuser.

          When I was young ( pre teen and early teen) a friend of mine’s parents were friends with a New York City police officer. (Lived in NYC then). he told me that DOMESTIC VIOLENCE-HUSBAND BEATING WIFE, WIFE BEATING HUSBAND, ETC–MOST DANGEROUS. And, at times, BOTH turn on the cop who is trying to seperate them.

          I doubt that much has changed.

          I also cannot see why any woman woudl want to be physically abused.

        Not quite.

        It is more likely that Muslim women feel they do not deserve any better; they have Zilch in the way of self-esteem.

        If they had any sense of self esteem not only would they not be married to Muslim males, they would not be Muslim to begin with.

Oh, Canada, you better wake up. You whine and cry about the split culture of French – English language and customs, but you ain’t seen nothing yet, until the Muslim savages start demanding the same rights as French Canadians, language, customs and now of course wife beating… Your libs will bow to that too!!

      This imam is calling for beating of wives which is part of the islamic sharee’a law. In the video below, the Canadian government bans Christian prayers from the public square while it buys hijabs for muslim female students in public schools and these are also parts of the Islamic sharee’a Law. To me, both the imam and the Canadian government are following Islamic sharee’a laws. The only difference between them is that one (the imam) is following islamic sharee’a law out of religious fervency, while the other, (the Canadian government) is following islamic sharee’a law out of the stupidity of political-correctness and cultural relativism. The motive is different but result which is implementing and following islamic sharee’a law is the same. Don’t you see this? Watch the video:

Why would Canadian government (and the same thing goes on in all of the Western countries) would ban Christian prayers in public schools while allowing islamic prayers in these same public schools and spending thousands of tax-payers dollars to buy hijabs for muslim female students?

          “Watch the video above.”

          I have watched the video when it first came out. Of course, it says nothing that helps to prove your assertion, you simply like to toss it around to make it seem there’s some substance to what you say when you try to denigrate the West, as you’re paid to do.

          “Both the imam and the Canadian government are following islamic sharee’a laws.”

          Did the Canadian government sanctioning passed a law sanctioning wife-beating? Forcing women to veil? Arrest people for preaching the Gospel, as they do in Russia?

          How and where are Canadian laws, in fact, sharia laws?

          “The only difference between them is that one (the imam) is following islamic sharee’a law out of religious fervency, while the other, (the Canadian government) is following islamic sharee’a law out of the stupidity of political-correctness and cultural relativism.”

          And now you’re explaining the alleged motivation for something you have yet to prove. Like the saying goes, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bulls***”…

          “The motive is different but the result, which is implementing islamic sharee’a law is the same.”

          Again: exactly what sharia laws were passed by the Canadian government? And, of course, your little “different motive, same result” is applicable to nations that are actually applying islamic sharia law, like the aforementioned arrest of people for preaching the Gospel.

          “Why would Canadian government (and the same thing goes on in all of the Western countries)”

          Citation needed.

          “would ban Christian prayers in public schools while allowing islamic prayers in these same public schools and spending thousands of tax-payers dollars to buy hijabs for muslim female students?”

          This is absolutely false, you lying ass. I was both a student and teacher in public schools, and in none of them, both when I was a student and a teacher, nearly two decades later, was Christian prayer banned or hijabs were offered to muslimas. In fact, the only religious offering available in schools was Christian, and handed by institutions outside the schools – the school offered a room equipped with multimedia equipment for kids who wanted religious classes and a Christian institution sent someone to teach the classes.

          You’re a liar, plain and simple.

          Already resorting to that libellous claim? You know that I’ve been posting here for years and that my contempt for the likes of Obama, Merkel, Clinton, Trudeau, etc., speaks for itself, right? On what grounds are you basing your smear? C’mon, put some evidence into it!

          You *lied*, plain and simple – you claimed that all over Canada, as well as the whole West, Western governments were following sharia law, and you made a statement that you can’t even hope to prove – that schools all over the Western world were banning Christian prayer and offering hijabs to muslim students. As someone who’s been on both sides of the school system in a Western nation – first as a student, later as a teacher – I can vouch that this is false. The only religious offerings in schools here are Christian, and they’re not taught by the state, they’re taught by members of religious institutions. The school only offers the room and multimedia equipment.

          Go on then – you claimed that what was happening in a school in Canada was representative of not only what happening in Canada but also all over the West, so it’s time for you to back your claim. Please present the respective governmental laws ordaining it for each and every Western nation. Remember – you said that Western governments were following sharia law, so you must have plenty of evidence to offer. Then explain why is Russia kowtowing to sharia law and arresting Christians for preaching the Gospel:

          I can only imagine your reaction if such a law was spoke of in any Western nation, let alone being passed and having people arrested for doing so – but since it’s not taking place in the West but in Russia, which you work feverishly to whitewash, we won’t hear a peep from you condemning it.

        Of course, Christianblood’s unspoken implication is that it is only the decadent West that has Muslim military chaplains. But this is not the case.

        Russia right now is in the process of reestablishing chaplains in the army. While most of them will be Russian Orthodox, not all will be.

        Right now, there are about a hundred Orthodox Christian priests, but also two Muslim Imams:

        http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/90550070/russian-military-chaplains-include-two-muslims-one-buddhist-official

        Given that this program has just started, there are bound to be many more to come.

        I believe this will be a growing problem in Russia–just as it is in the West. There should be *no* Muslim chaplains in any Infidel fighting force.

          Dec 17, 2016 at 8:19 pm

          As I feared, Christianblood, you appear to have no concerns about Muslim “chaplains” in the Russian army at all.

          Sadly, this does not surprise–you also appeared to be unconcerned about Muslims murdering Muscovites and other Russians in violent Jihad terror attacks, nor in the Muslim desecration of a Church in Serbia, nor in the imposition of Shari’ah in Chechnya, nor in Putin enabling a nuclear Iran, nor in Patriarch Kirill lauding Russia for inviting in hordes of Muslim migrants, nor in Putin applauding the building of a mega-Mosque in Moscow.

          Really, I am at a loss here–except that you seem to be more concerned about finding occasions for castigating the West than for actually defending against the Jihad threat.

          As for the claim that we are silent about dhimmitude–including the removal of crosses in Churches to appease Muslims–this is obviously anything but the case:

          “Swedish bishop wants to remove crosses from church and mark direction of Mecca to make it more inviting for Muslims”

          https://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/10/swedish-bishop-wants-to-remove-crosses-from-church-and-mark-direction-of-mecca-to-make-it-more-inviting-for-muslims

          There are almost two hundred comments there–nine of them my own.

          How is any of this “silence”?

          Really, the Anti-Jihadists here are concerned over Jihad and dhimmitude *wherever* it happens. I wish that were the case with you, as well.

  11. Lee Hicks says

    Dec 17, 2016 at 2:47 pm

    This is the basic brutality and deceptive nature of Islam, Allah, and Mohammad, in one statement. There are those who will foolishly claim that this isn’t “true Islam”, and they could not be more wrong. The Hajib has two purposes, both of which are designed to force women into being considered less in importance than men.
    First, the covering up of every conceivable body part is due to the over-riding lust that Islam promotes, excuses, and even at times requires from male Jihadis (and make no mistake, every Muslim is called to be a Jihadi, whether they use Politics, the Culture, Sexual Favors, or violence). The mere appearance of a part of the woman uncovered is just to much for the corrupt “men” of Islam to handle.
    Second, it is to be used to hide the evidences of physical abuse, which Islam requires.

    Not only does Islam show absolute contempt and hatred for women, but we also see the base dishonesty of it in the instruction to abuse the wife, but to keep it hidden from others. Deception and lies are an integral part of Islam, and Allah is called by his own followers “the greatest of deceivers”. This fits well with the title for Satan as “the father of lies”. As the false god of Islam is a self-professed liar, is it any wonder that lies are acceptable and even required for his followers? No, not in the least.

    He is demanding that beaten Muslims WOMEN remain SILENT about ABUSE OF WOMEN.

    Mohammad Iqbal Masood Al-Nadvi is demanding CENSORSHIP of any CRITICISM OF WIFE-BEATING which he calls ‘so-called wife-beating’.

    Muslim Chaplain of the Canadian army: Beat your wife, but keep it private
    ………………………

    And note: this pious thug considers wife beating *sacred*, and that a man beating his wife is part of the Muslim “protection of the family”. And why not? The only problems Islam recognizes in the family is the “disobedience” of wives and children.

    Of course, the Canadian military should drum this Mohammedan out of the service.

    Canada be warned of the evil he and his ilk arencapable of. Take lessons from the vile and evil acts his kind committed in Bangladesh. Here is a terrifying excerpt from a book. It’s a tiny snapshot only; the Bangladesh car are was much worse. This brief account show the true depth of evil that is Islam. Canada learn and take action:

    Louis Fischer, the American journalist, describes the Noakhali carnage thus[45] : “Mr. Arthur Henderson told the House of Commons on Nov 4, 1946 that the Bengal government put the number of casualties at 218; some families, however, hid their victims out of fear. Over ten thousand houses were looted in the two districts. In Tipperah 9,895 persons were forcibly converted to Islam ;

    Thousands of Hindu women were abducted and married to Muslims against their will. . . . to convert Hindu women, Muslims broke their bangles and removed their ‘happiness marks’ on their foreheads which showed that they were not widows. Hindu men were compelled to grow beards, to twist their loincloths the Muslim way instead of the Hindu way, and to recite the Quran. Stone idols were smashed and Hindu temples desecrated. Worst of all, Hindus were made to slaughter their cows if they had any, or in any case to eat meat. It was felt that the Hindu community would not accept back into its fold one who had killed the sacred beast or partaken of its flesh.”

    In fact, one of the very few good things to have come out of the unmitigated evil of the carnage was the fact that the Hindus who had been forced to eat beef, or Hindu women who had been raped or brutalised by Muslims, were indeed accepted back into the Hindu fold.

    This army imaam is from the subcontinent, where the sheer evil and depravity of Islam and Muslims has been on full display for centuries; offers invaluable warnings/lessons by exposing I slam’s rotten and evil core. The subcontinental Muslims have been among the most evil and murderous.

    How the bloodthirsty mob was whipped into a murderous frenzy; a tried and tested Muslim tactic:

    Meanwhile Sarwar went round making his speeches. Dr. Dinesh Chandra Sinha (b.1935), a retired Deputy Registrar of the Calcutta University, has quoted the main points of the speeches. An English translation is given, with the caveat that it can never capture the explosive potential of the words.

    1. Brothers, all the rice that you grow – who eats it? – Hindus!
    2. Brothers, all the fat bananas that you grow – who eats them? – Hindus!
    3. Brothers, when our women fall ill who paw and feel them all over? – Hindu doctors!
    4. Brothers, why are we Muslims thin and underfed? – because we do not get enough to eat!
    5. Brothers, why are the Hindus fat and greasy? – because they get all the best things to eat!

    These were lies: the twenty per cent Hindus of Noakhali could never eat up even a quarter of the rice and bananas that the eighty per cent Muslims grew.

    When I first went to turkey in 1966, I was curious about Islam, found an English speaking Imam and started asking questions, and when it came to manage wives, this is the same thing that I was told: Beat the crap out of her — and she’ll “shape up”.

    My book MOSLEM MEN FEAR WOMEN details why Moslem men(?) actually hate women.

    In Ottawa, the capital of Canada, a Muslim killed his two sisters this week-end. One of the sister taught the Q’ran in an Islamic school in Ottawa. This guy did not follow the Imam’s advice obviously.

    As a former senior officer in the Canadian Forces I find this story very disturbing. Any Canadian Forces chaplain espousing such ideas should be removed from service and cashiered from the CF. This is simply unacceptable by any measure and contrary to the good order and discipline all officers, including chaplains, are required to uphold in accordance with their Queen’s commission. The Iman is counselling an action that is a clear violation of the Criminal Code of Canada and is utterly immoral. Any man who beats a woman is beyond the pale and is not a man, period.

      For that chaplain, Canadian laws mean nothing at all, just a stumbling block to save. When an Islamic community is based in a country that country is in the process of conquest, Canada is now pre-Islamic and that chaplain is working for Islamic law to govern that country, your country. The indigenous peoples of Canada mean nothing to Islam, Anglo-Saxons, French-speaking … all are in the age of ignorance Jahiliyyah. You can create many laws, political structures, legal, constitutional guarantees … nothing matters. Everything is written in the Koran and the Sunna. No matter how well or poorly you treat Muslims, the goal is the same across the planet and Canada despite their good people..it’s no different. Why do they create their Islamic associations, political Islamic parties? Perhaps the needs of Muslims are different? NO, what sets them apart is their moral, religious laws they enforce. How? Demographically and politically, being many and prohibiting, eliminating and changing laws and political structures (local, provincial, etc.). Its fate is the same … Islamic ethics. Do not be fooled by radical Islam, moderate Islam … the goal of Islam is the same as in alandalus: to push the unbelievers to submission.

    “The mandate to beat one’s wife is in the Qur’an.” FALSE!

    “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)

    These verses posted in this article were not taken from the Qur’an word for word and therefore have been taken way out of context.

    Here are the same two verses, copied word for word from the Qur’an.

    “Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.”

    The Qur’an (surah 4:34) verse does not tell men “to beat them (i.e. their wives),” but rather to “separate from them” or to “strike them out.”

    “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)”

    Another mistranslation.

    When you check the context, you realize it is not a context of a man hurting his wife, on the contrary, the hadith shows how the Prophet (saws) was keen not to frighten or even bother his sleeping wife as he (saws) said to her: “I thought that you had gone to sleep, and I did not like to awaken you, fearing that you may be frightened.”

    The word that is used in above Hadith as “Struck” is false; the word in Arabic that is used is “Lahada.” Edward William Lane explains that the Arabic word “Lahada” means “pushed away” as you will see here: https://discoverthetruthdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/lahada1.jpg

    The hand imposition of the prophet Muhammed (pbuh) it is a gesture driving away evil influence (waswas) and conferring blessings, it’s nothing bad at all. The intent of the Prophet Muhammed (p) was to drive away ‘evil influence’ from Aisha. Proof from the following Hadiths that the prophet Muhammed (p) pushed Aisha (Ra) and never hit her:

    Aisha said: “Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) never hit anything with his hand ever, except when fighting in the path of Allaah. Nor did he ever hit a servant or a woman.” [Recorded In Ibn Majah. Al-Albani graded it Sahih.]

    Aisha reports: ”Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) did not hit Anything with his hands, besides the time when he made Jihaad in the Path of Allah. He did not hit a servant nor a woman (wife, girl etc.)”. [Shamaail‐e‐Tirmidhi (331) Hadith Number 6.]

    ‘Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (pbuh) never hit anything with his hand neither a servant nor a woman but of course, he did fight in the Cause of Allah. He never took revenge upon anyone for the wrong done to him, but of course, he exacted retribution for the sake of Allah in case the Injunctions of Allah about unlawful acts were violated. [Muslim Arabic/English book reference : Book 1, Hadith 644]

    As you have read from the above Hadith reported in three different Hadith Books , the prophet never hit any woman nor a servant, these statement(s) that the Prophet never hit any woman are from Aisha own mouth. So, the correct translation is that the Prophet pushed Aisha, to drive away evil influence, as Aisha makes it evidently clear that he NEVER hit any woman or servant. That statement from Aisha alone shows that Prophet Muhammed (p) was never abusive in any shape or form, to any of his wives. This proves that the translation for the Hadith that says Muhammed ‘struck’ Aisha is false.

    Furthermore John Louis Esposito who is a professor of International Affairs and Islamic Studies at Georgetown University. Professor John L. Esposito is a Catholic Christian also cites the above hadith mentioned and makes it clear that nowhere in the Hadith or Quran is there any record of Muhammed (p) ever mistreating any of his wives, it does not exist. He writes:

    “….the hadith (Prophetic traditions) note Muhammad’s respect for and protection of women. Muhammad said, ‘The best of you is he who is best to his wife.’ Muhammad’s wife Aisha narrated that Muhammad never hit any servant or woman and never physically struck anyone with his own hand. Neither the Quran nor the hadith record Muhammad as ever mistreating or losing temper with any of his wives, even when he was unhappy or dissatisfied.[2]”

    One last thing that needs to be clarified is the Arabic word “jihad”. jihad Means striving in the way of God. To forbid evil and do good. So if someone comes and attacks you, coming on your land and trying to kill you, you can defend yourself. Jihaad means striving to live a moral and virtuous life, spreading and defending Islam as well as fighting injustice and oppression.
