“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)
“Sultan rejects bill proposing equality for men, women,” by Adetutu Folasade-Koyi, The Sun, December 28, 2016:
The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar lll, has rejected an equality bill being considered by the Senate.
The bill seeks equality for male and female children in the sharing of inherited family wealth or property.
It also proposes that a widow is entitled to the custody of her children unless it is contrary to the interests and welfare of the children.
The bill also seeks that a widow shall have the right to remarry any man of her choice and have the right to a fair share in the inheritance of her late husband’s property and the right to live in her matrimonial house.
The Sultan, has, however said the bill is anti-Islamic and unacceptable to Muslims.
Tthe [sic] Sultan said this in Gusau at the closing of the 20th Zamfara State Annual Qur’anic Recitation competition, yesterday.
Abubakar said at the occasion that the bill is against Islam and, therefore, unacceptable to Muslims.
“Our religion is our total way of life; therefore, we will not accept any move to change what Allah permitted us to do.
“Islam is a peaceful religion; we have been living peacefully with Christians and followers of other religions in this country. Therefore, we should be allowed to perform our religion effectively,” he said….

Lee Hicks says
This is textbook Islam, brutal and corrupt, having hatred for women and children, as well as pretty much everyone else.
Islam gets this from Satan himself (who is the personification of hatred for mankind), masquerading as Allah, and the hatred of women and children goes all the way back to Eden, when he learned that his defeat would come through the woman he deceived, and her offspring.
The U.N. continues to show it’s evil mindset, as it ignores or excuses the real corruption of Islam worldwide (such as the statements in the article), and at the same time, it invents false accusations regarding Israel.
Understand that there are no such things as moderate or extreme Islam. Islam and Allah use different approaches and tactics, but the goal is the same, the unholy warfare of Jihad.
Every instance of Islam worldwide is engaged in Jihad, whether it is ISIS, Islamic nations, false refugees, mosques that spread hatred and lies, or citizens of a nation engaging in cultural and/or political Jihad.
Islam is the common cancer that connects all of them, through the pursuit of Jihad.
PRCS says
“This is textbook Islam”
Exactly right.
Anyone who thinks he’s practicing “radical” Islam, that he’s an “extremist”, that he’s “perverting the faith”, simply doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
He knows what Islam is, what it teaches and commands, and his obligation “to submit” as a devout Muslim.
And he ain’t tap dancing around the issue, having clearly stated, “Our religion is our total way of life”.
As the article actually quoted his statements and Muslims should be challenged to refute him–which they can’t.
P.S. JihadWatch has covered this mentally deficient nonsense at least once before: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/11/india-muslim-cleric-says-gender-equality-un-islamic-women-fit-only-to-deliver-children
Marty says
Talk about the bleedin’ obvious.
Any Westerner who defends mohammedanism defends, inter alia, the following.
1. Any female is worth 50% of any male in every conceivable respect
2. Anyone who leaves islam must be murdered
3 Sex with female children is permitted, as is polygamy
4, Christians must be converted or enslaved, Jews murdered or enslaved
5 Gays must be murdered
I could go on; but just why has the UK Labour party allowed itself to become
the Muslim Party of Great Britain, & how can any leftist or liberal defend these
attitudes which lie way to the “right” of Nazi Germany ?

Quote: “Islam is a peaceful religion; we have been living peacefully with Christians and followers of other religions in this country…”
Oh, really? Then how can he explain what Boko Haram is doing to Christians?
maghan says
Another stupid statement by a near illiterate. How can Islam be a peaceful religion when it was the ideological basis for the conquest of the whole of West Asia and North Africa–and all the way into the Indian sub-continent slaughtering millions in the process. This was followed by brainwashing and forcing the survivors to accept Islam. That’s why Pakistan and Bangladesh and Afghanistan exist.
If you want to see authentic Islam in action just take a camera to ISIS territory. Rapes, beheadings, drowning in cages, lashings, hurling people from tall buildings–all sanctioned by the Qur’an.
PRCS says
I’m sure he could–if ever asked to do so.
Angemon says
Meanwhile, female muslim apologists in the West praise islam for being “feminist” and treating women as equal to men…
marina says
Of course the bill won’t be approved. The Sultan himself is follower of evil.
ibrahim itace muhammed says
mr spencer,i verified the report and found that the sultan did not reject the bill on equality as a whole.he only objected to some provisions of the bill which constitute infractions to clear provisions of the quran and sharia laws applicable in muslim dominated northern nigeria for more than 200 years now and recognised by nigerian constitution as part of freedom of religion.such infraction in the bill include equal shares for male and female children against what the quran teachs.the rational behind this disparity between male and female share is that in islamic family sytem the male child with double share will be responsible to take of himself and his wife and children;while his sister with a single share will be taken care of by her husband.she needs not touche any thing from her share.if she likes she can invest it to generate incomes. on the other aspect of the bill to abolish customs,mostly among pagans, that woman cannot inherit her husband,female children cannot inherit their parents at all, and that a window cannot marry outside her husband’s family without the permission of his brothers and they can take her as inheritance property, muslims are not opposing it.in fact such customs contravene sharia.
maghan says
Cockroach just STFU. You know nothing, zero, zilch, etc. Your stupidity is daily on display and you are too dumb and ignorant to feel ashamed. You just keep fouling the air.

Please note: this is said by someone who just yesterday affirmed that Infidel women can be taken as sex slaves. *Ugh*.
How is taking women as sex slaves not treating them as sex objects?
Islam “never oppresses women”–this is only true if one does not consider FGM, pedophilic child marriage, forced marriage, wife beating, “Honor Killing”, the rape of Infidels during Jihad, sex slavery, and the stoning of women not to be oppressive.
And muhammed here regularly refers to me as a “prostitute” for having a long term and loving marriage to an Infidel man–this is how he shows women “respect”.

……………………………….
I am–like most savvy Infidels here–already quite familiar with institutional Islamic oppression of women. Why wouldn’t I be?
Here’s Islam Q & A–the largest Islamic web site in English–on the subject:
https://islamqa.info/en/12911
“to the male, a portion equal to that of two females”
This has always been mainstream Islam. It is from Qur’an 4:11:
“Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one’s estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And for one’s parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left children. But if he had no children and the parents [alone] inherit from him, then for his mother is one third. And if he had brothers [or sisters], for his mother is a sixth, after any bequest he [may have] made or debt. Your parents or your children – you know not which of them are nearest to you in benefit. [These shares are] an obligation [imposed] by Allah . Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.”
Of course, the Qur’an does not go into gobbledy gook about how Muslim men supposedly have to support women, and how women can spend their inheritance on fripperies.
And two Ayats later, the Qur’an spells out what happens to anyone who tries to treat men and women as equals:
Qur’an 4:14
And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses His limits – He will put him into the Fire to abide eternally therein, and he will have a humiliating punishment.

……………………………….
muhammed considers marrying for love to be “like beasts”–this is because there is not acknowledgement of love in Islam.
And why would there be? Muslim men can marry small girls, and can force women to marry, can marry up to four women, and can engage in summary divorce (the “Triple Talaq”). None of this is conducive to love.
And there is only a ban on sex outside of marriage for women–men can freely rape the “Possessions of their Right Hand” (Milk al-Yameen)–as long as the victims are Infidels, and can still be considered “chaste”.
More;
on (sic) the other hand, you in the christian (sic) west (sic) consider freedom to have indiscriminate sex and nakedness as sign of civilisation. muslims (sic) consider it savagery
……………………………….
muhammed has made this bizarre claim before–that Donald Trump is going to mandate that women be forced to walk around naked after his inauguration. What is he going to do in under a month when he discovers that that fevered fantasy is just that?
We in the West believe that love is the basis of marriage, and don’t believe that women should be beaten to death if they fail to dress in trash bags. That is what this barbarian considers savagery–but he is fine with stoning rape victims to death. *Ugh*.

This article is about equality; apparently muhammed–like so many of his vicious coreligionists–believes that equality for women is “indescriminates sex”.
And married Muslim *men* have sex outside of marriage all the time–including being allowed to rape Infidel women.
And there is little sanctity of marriage within Islam in any case–with child marriage, forced marriage, polygamy, summary divorce for men (the “Triple Talaq”), and wife beating and “Honor Killing” permissible for wives who get out of line.
Unlike in the civilized world, marriage in the Muslim world is not based on love. The “Nikah” marriage, in fact, is just a legal way for a Muslim to enjoy a woman’s vagina.
Not to mention, of course, Muslims flogging or stoning any woman guilty of “Zina”–which includes rape victims.
And one thing more: while I have told muhammed that I have been with my husband for over 28 years now, he most often refers to me as a “prostitute”. And that is, in fact, the way any Muslim regards an Infidel woman–being married to an Infidel man makes no difference to them.
In fact, if a married woman is captured by Muslims, her marriage is instantly annulled, and she can be raped or married off to any Muslim.
*That* is Muslim “morality”. *Ugh*.
Ron says
By now the entire world has to be aware of what Islam is. If a person doesn’t understand Islam by now he is either impenetrably stupid or was born into a Muslim society where barbarity has become an accepted norm.
Still, it is difficult for a Western mind to understand how it is possible that millions of human beings advocate slavery, hiding female faces behind masks, child marriage, stoning to death or amputation, hatred of unbelievers, female genital mutilation, dhimmitude, no freedom of religion or speech, violence against unbelievers, no critical thinking, female inferiority and intolerance and ignorance on a monumental scale.
How is this possible in the 21st century? Some possible explanations may lie in the fact that the average I.Q. in the M.E. is 82. Birth defects, including mental illness, in the M.E. are the highest in the world. These facts are not unrelated to 1400 years of first cousin marriages and intermarriage with sub-Saharan Africans.
Islam teaches that everything one needs to know is to be found in the Koran, so there is little respect for education or technology as we know them. Critical thinking, much valued in the West, is forbidden when it concerns Islam.
Islam is a kind of Luddite religion, where anything approaching Socratic debate, using one’s brain, dissent from current ideology, modernity and democratic principles have no place. In short, we need not worry. Islam will destroy itself.
