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

93% of women in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan experience sexual violence

Mar 8, 2017 10:35 am By Robert Spencer

Coincidence? No.

“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)

Another hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning” (Bukhari 4.54.460).

And she would in that case be disobedient, hence eligible for beating.

Another hadith has Muhammad saying: “By him in Whose Hand lies my life, a woman can not carry out the right of her Lord, till she carries out the right of her husband. And if he asks her to surrender herself [to him for sexual intercourse] she should not refuse him even if she is on a camel’s saddle” (Ibn Majah 1854).

“‘93% of Pakistani women experience sexual violence,'” by Mudaser Kazi, Express Tribune, March 8, 2017:

Pakistan is among those countries where 70% women and girls experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime by their intimate partners and 93% women experience some form of sexual violence in public places in their lifetime.

This was stated by founder of Madadgaar National Helpline 1098 and national commissioner for children, Zia Ahmed Awan, while quoting the statistics of international organisations during a press conference at their office on Tuesday.

Awan lauded, in tribute to the International Women Day which is celebrated on March 8 every year, the courage of the 8,897 women and children from across Pakistan who came forward in 2016 and fought for their rights and protection by calling, visiting or contacting Madadgaar’s helpline.

“The data recorded by our organisation is just the tip of the iceberg. Our helpline would [if there was awareness] have been flooded with calls from victims and survivors,” he stated, adding that only 10% cases of violence are being reported in Sindh and Punjab in media with even less reporting from Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa….

“Out of the total cases reported on the helpline, the highest percentage of victims was that of women at 56%,” explained Madadgaar’s general manager Muhammad Ali Bilgrami who added that cases reported by boys were 16%, 15% by girls and 13% by men.

According to Bilgirami, 7,561 cases were reported from Sindh and the least number of cases, 306, were reported from Balochistan. Unrest, targeted killing of the legal fraternity, weak law enforcement, absence of rule of law and overall social, cultural and religious barriers stop people in Pakistan, especially women and girls, to come forward and report violence perpetrated against them, said Bilgrami.

While sharing the nature of cases reported in 2016 to Madadgaar National Helpline, Bilgrami briefed that 118 cases of child marriage, 162 of cybercrime, 14 of child abuse, 2,092 of domestic violence, 14 of forced marriage, 562 of harassment, 12 of karo-kari, 2,251 of missing children, 213 of missing women, 792 of mental torture, 5 of rape, 6 of sodomy, 10 of sexual harassment, 7 of sexual abuse and 5 cases of trafficking.

    any country infested with this evil religion of islam is filled with violence: rape murder stealing and lying (all characteristics of muhammed, the “perfect man ” of islam), is a CRAPISTAN!

        WHAT? Close to UNIVERSAL SEX ABUSE one of the MOST Islamic of all countries in the world? Surely, you jest!

        Of course, in the West, we all know that ISLAM HONORS WOMEN… except for the 93% that get abused.

        Pak is one of the HONOR KILLING capitals of the world. Pak has the highest internet PORNOGRAPHY USE in the world.

        They don’t call it ‘PORN-ISTAN’ for nothing.

        They don’t

      That is a most interesting chart, it is certainly worth reading and thinking about.

      PS. I am not sure about Halal Bacon (ha ha), but one popular breakfast cereal (Weetbix) here in Oz has just discontinued its Halal Certification.

      Halal Bacon, thank you for providing the link to an excellent comparison that provides specific resource citations. I just forwarded the article to quite a few people and have saved the chart on my computer hard drive for printing at will. Your posting of this information is most appreciated.

      What utter crap–it is possible to *report* rape in the West. This is the sort of thing that happens to those who dare report rape in Dar-al-Islam:

      “Amnesty International: “Woman” stoned to death in Somalia was 13-year-old rape victim”

      https://www.jihadwatch.org/2008/11/amnesty-international-woman-stoned-to-death-in-somalia-was-13-year-old-rape-victim

      “Islamic State stones four rape victims to death for ‘committing adultery’”

    I’m sorry but these statistics seem inflated.
    I agree that Islamic Law despises women and doesn’t treat them as equal but 93% of women in Pakistan experience sexual violence?
    Feminists in the West exaggerate these figures to promote hatred of men. I’m not sure I trust this Express Tribune.
    50% would be bad enough.

      That being said, the incidence of Rape in India is quite frightening too. In India, many of the perpetrators are not Muslims. Not defending them…but that’s a fact!

      • SikhWoman says

        Mar 9, 2017 at 12:04 am

        India has one of the lowest per capita rapes in the world. It must be noted that India has 1.3 billion people so the Total cases will obviously be large. But rapes per head population is lower than most other countries.

    By far the most painful and difficult book I have ever read was Dr. Wafa Sultan’s “A God Who Hates”. She describes graphic cases of extreme abuse in Syria from first hand witness. This is one issue where 1 case is too many.

    ‘93% of Pakistani women experience sexual violence

    But remember: suggesting that “migrants” or “refugees” from Afghanistan might pose a danger to women in their host nations is “racist”, “bigoted” and “islamophobic”. Don’t cha know? Only the West has “rape culture”, and if the poor, little, persecuted males from Afghanistan, where 93% of women experience sexual violence, go on to sexually abuse women in the West, Western culture is to blame!

  7. dumbledoresarmy says

    Mar 8, 2017 at 5:20 pm

    Looks like the approximate seven percent of males who *don’t* engage in routine violence are the *real* Tiny Minority.

    Not of Extremists, but of… halfway decent, those in whom the Islam Program has been, against all the odds, counteracted by what Christians call ‘conscience’, or perhaps what scientists call the potential for empathy (Islam, of course, is set up so as to destroy conscience and empathy as rapidly and as early as possible; the ‘born-neurologically-normal’ have to be violently “reprogrammed” so as to turn them into a zombie vehicle for the merciless and murderous Islam Program).

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Mar 8, 2017 at 5:21 pm

      Clarification.

      “Looks like the approximate seven percent of Pakistani Muslim males who *don’t* engage in routine violence against females are the *real* Tiny Minority.”

    “93% women experience some form of sexual violence in public places in their lifetime.”

    Kind of makes you wonder what’s the point of women covering up.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 9, 2017 at 8:25 am

      If they *didn’t* cover up they’d just be raped and then stoned to death in the street.

      But you are quite right that covering–even in a Burqa–is *no* safeguard.

      Betty Mahmoody describes in her book “Not Without My Daughter” being swathed in shapeless clothing and a head covering in Iran and still being followed, harassed, groped, and called a “whore”.

      • Stephanie says

        Mar 9, 2017 at 2:11 pm

        This is why Muslim women don’t mind wearing their hijab in the west so their brethren have a better target by showing who is uncovered and ‘therefore an infidel slut’. Rape her, not me.

        Muslim women are two kinds: evil and are immersed in it, or are trying to stay out of the line of fire and doing what they’re told. Consoling themselves for their wretchedness by trying to believe it’s what god wants. (Probably a mixture of both in many cases.)

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 9, 2017 at 8:27 pm

          *Exactly*, Stephanie–the Hijab is not just saying “don’t rape me”–it also says, “rape that uncovered slut over there”. *Ugh*.

    Islam is such a sorry excuse for sexual perversion. Millions are in this religion as prisons of a system they cant break free from.

    • Charli Main says

      Mar 9, 2017 at 11:27 am

      Think of a sexual perversion and mad Mohammed of Mecca engaged in it or approved of . That sick, perverted bast*ard even had sex with a dead woman.

      Based on the example of their sick, perverted ” prophet” Muslims are allowed to have sex with a dead wife. Its euphemistically described as ” farewell intercourse”.

  10. gravenimage says

    …………………….

    I’ve read stats like these before. These poor women–but this is mainstream Islam, so it does not surprise.

  11. Stephanie says

    Mar 9, 2017 at 1:57 pm

    Such a base, animalistic cruel ‘relgion’ with muhammed making himself as God. Of course he dealt unjustly with Aisha and she knew it, but he took the place of God, saying to question him was to question God and struck her. What a pos. Because he knew damn well he dealt unjustly with her too, but he made up his own rules as he went along, didn’t he? Usurper.

  12. abad says

    The western world cannot save Pakistanis from Islam. Nor any other Islamic-dominant nation.

    The ONLY ONE who can save Muslims is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

    The few Muslims who repent (turn away from Islam) and accept Christ as their Lord and Savior can be saved from the Evil of Islam.

    The others – they will never see heaven (John 3:17-18).
