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

Canada: Imam claims that “Islam is the most feminist religion”

Apr 5, 2017 1:26 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Imam Syed Soharwardy of Calgary, who has referenced Islam as the “most feminist religion,” also states:

 Yes, there are people, there are people of clergy also, they misinterpret, they definitely have different mindset, but they are very, very small minority.

Unless one is deaf, dumb and blind to world news and events, history, current Islamic jurisprudence, it is clear that this “very, very small minority” is a figment of Soharwardy’s imagination.

Some other odd statements made by Soharwardy:

“Sharia cannot be customized for specific countries. These universal, divine laws are for all people of all countries for all times.”

“I am one of the founding members of the Islamic Institute of Civil Justice. The mandate of the institute is to resolve disputes within existing Canadian laws by using the principles of conflict resolution from Islamic Law, or sharia.”

“Presently, what Israeli forces are doing to Palestinians is worse than the Holocaust of World War II.”

Perhaps  Soharwardy’s crowning statement was that “Muslims are going through that situation right now that the Jews faced before the Holocaust.” That bizarre statement is about as true and confusing as “Islam is the most feminist religion” that a “very, very small minority” misinterprets.

“Canadian Imam: ‘Islam is the most feminist religion'”, CIJ News, April 3, 2017:

Imam Syed Soharwardy of Calgary, the head of the Calgary-based Islamic Supreme Council of Canada and the founder of Muslims Against Terrorism, is often invited by CBC as a guest expert to discuss issues related to terrorism and radicalization. He is introduced as a moderate voice in the Muslim community who “has worked to prevent the radicalization of youth in Canada.”
On Sunday, April 2, 2017, Soharwardy delivered a speech at Christ Church Scraborough Village in Toronto. The following are excerpts from Soharwardy’s speech entitled “Interfaith Dialogue – Understanding Islam and Muslims”:
Prophet Mohammad’s wife, she used to teach male companions after the prophet passed away… Prophet’s grandson’s daughter, Nafisa bint Al-Hassan, she used to teach in the mosque male people and female about the religion of Islam… Women leadership in Islam has been from the start. In the holy Quran the relationship between husband and wife is described so beautifully that I don’t think you’d find such a description in any scripture… The is no gender-based superiority in Islam. Only superiority in Islam is based on piety…

…. In Saudi Arabia women cannot drive… During the time of prophet Mohammad… there were women who used to ride camels. If the woman could ride camels at that time today the camel is our cars… If I would say that Islam is the most feminist religion it’s not untrue. Yes, there are people, there are people of clergy also, they misinterpret, they definitely have different mindset, but they are very, very small minority.

    The Hadiths of Mohammed do nothing but insult and degrade all women, proving Islam is a misogyny cult:
    – I think that women were created for nothing but evil.
    – Women have ten ‘awrat (vulvas). When she gets married, the husband covers one, and when she dies the grave covers the ten (of her shameful parts).
    – A straw mat in the corner of the house is preferable to a barren woman.
    – Women are toys, so choose (your ‘toys’).
    – The woman is a toy, whoever takes her, let him care for her [ or do not lose her ].
    – Had it not been for women, God would have truly, truly been worshipped.
    – Men perished the day they obeyed the women.
    – Obedience to a woman’s advice causes regret.
    – Consult women and act contrary (to it).
    – Sneezing, drowsing, yawning in prayer, also menstruation, vomiting and nose-bleeding are from Satan.
    – When…your affairs are in the hands of your women, the interior of the earth (hell) will be the better for you than its surface.
    – If a woman offered one of her breasts to be cooked and the other to be roasted, she still will fall short of fulfilling her obligations to her husband. And besides that if she disobeys her husband even for a twinkling of an eye, she would be thrown in the lowest part of Hell, except she repents and turns back.
    – Mohammed asked some women, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?” The women said, “Yes,” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind.”
    – I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you (women).
    – I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women.
    – Bad omen is in the woman, the house and the horse.
    – After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women.
    – Don’t wear false hair for Allah sends His curse upon such ladies who lengthen their hair artificially.
    – Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.
    – Women, slaves and camels are same.
    – Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman.
    – If you relax the woman’s bridle a tiny bit, she will take you and bolt wildly. And if you lower her cheek-piece a hand span, she will pull you an arm’s length … Their deception is awesome and their wickedness is contagious; bad character and feeble mind are their predominant traits.
    – “[A man’s wife] fears him, while he fears her not, a kind word from him satisfies her, where nothing of hers has importance in his eyes, it is she who must tolerate the presence of concubines, and it is she who worries when he is ill whereas even her death would leave him indifferent.
    – If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning.
    – Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals [awan] with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from God and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of God, so understand and listen to my words…
    – Muhammad’s last words on women during his farewell speech:
    – God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity. If they refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control- of their persons. Sirat Rasul Allah. Translated in English by A. Guillaume. First published by Oxford University Press, London in 1955

      When…your affairs are in the hands of your women, the interior of the earth (hell) will be the better for you than its surface.

      They are forbidden from reading other scriptures. Otherwise they would quickly learn the truth.

      The imam knows his position is untenable and that Robert Spencer will completely destroy his delusions of grandeur. When confronted with rational arguments and the truth of the past, they only respond with anger. Maybe next Tuesday, or next month, or next year that absolute proof with save them from continuing this farce.

    Islam & women
    “Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. If they then obey you, look not for any way against them; God is All-high, All-great.” — Qur’an 4:34
    …………………………
    Qur’an’s justification beating women
    The Qur’an, Hadiths, and Sira all condone wife-beating. The “Prophet” himself beat his wives, including his favorite wife, young Aisha.
    Qur’an (38:44) – “And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it, and do not break your oath…” [Allah telling Job to beat his wife]
    From the Hadith:
    Bukhari (72:715) – A woman came to Muhammad and begged her to stop her husband from beating her. Her skin was bruised so badly that she it is described as being “greener” than the green veil she was wearing. Muhammad did not admonish her husband, but instead ordered her to return to him and submit to his sexual desires.
    Bukhari (72:715) – “Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women’” This is Muhammad’s own wife complaining of the abuse that the women of her religions suffer relative to other women.
    Muslim (4:2127) – Muhammad struck his favorite wife, Aisha, in the chest one evening when she left the house without his permission. Aisha narrates, “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain.”
    Muslim (9:3506) – Muhammad’s father-in-laws (Abu Bakr and Umar) amused him by slapping his wives (Aisha and Hafsa) for annoying him. According to the Hadith, the prophet of Islam laughed upon hearing this.
    Ibn Kathir in his commentary mentioned a Hadith on the authority of zal Ash’ath Ibn al-Qays who was visiting ‘Omar and at that time. ‘Omar took his wife and beat her, then said to Ash’ath:
    ‘Memorise three things from me, which I memorised from the prophet who said: “The man is not to be asked why he beat his wife …”‘[62]
    ________________________________________
    Muhammad had sex with a dead woman
    • ” The Muslim legal text, al-Sharwani’s Hawashi, confirms that sex with a dead woman is not sinful or wrong according to Islamic law. This law is based on the example set by Muhammad. According to the hadith, Muhammad had sex with a dead woman before she was put in the grave.
    • The gravediggers were so embarrassed that they proceeded to bury the woman’s corpse and the prophet with dirt, exclaiming, “O Prophet, we see you do a thing you never did with anyone else.” Muhammad answered: “I have dressed her in my shirt so that she may be dressed in heavenly robes, and I have farewell intercourse with her in her grave so that the torments of the grave may be alleviated from her.” Recently a new law was proposed in the Muslim Brotherhood dominated Egyptian parliament. It would allow for “farewell intercourse” with a wife’s dead body. Obviously Muslims know very well about this demented practice by Mohammed. Postmortem sex is apparently a traditional value within Islam. Civilized people call it necrophilia and it’s a criminal act.
    Under definition of Fatawa , in Wikipedia
    In 2011-2012, Abdel-Bari Zamzami of Morocco issued a series of religious edicts that a man has the right to engage in sexual intercourse with his wife up to six hours after her death [47] despite recognizing that such an action is despicable in mainstream society, Zamzami persisted in backing his original fatwa, claiming marriage does not end in death.
    Yes and this is a civilized religion ??

    * Muslim women may marry only one Muslim man and are forbidden from marrying a non-Muslim.
    * A woman may not travel outside the home without the permission of her male guardian and must be accompanied by a male family member if she does so.
    * Under sharia, to bring a claim of rape, a Muslim woman must present four male Muslim witnesses in good standing. Islam thus places the burden of avoiding illicit sexual encounters entirely on the woman. In effect, under sharia, women who bring a claim of rape without being able to produce the requisite four male Muslim witnesses are admitting to having had illicit sex. If she or the man is married, this amounts to an admission of adultery.

    No normal,sane,human being would do anything so disgusting as drink camel urine.
    If one considers what exactly constitutes impurity,then surely the camel urine drinker mahomet would not be suitable for admission into a mosque.
     the Koran actually “animalizes” women.
    Which begs the question: Why would Allah create such an inferior being as a companion for his oh, so wonderful Muslim males?
    Narrated Aisha: “The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, “Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people).” I said, “You have made us (i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away, for I disliked to face him.”” Bukhari V1, #490
    Even the child-bride Aisha was insulted that women were placed on the level of dogs and said so at some risk to herself from Muhammad who has been recorded as striking her in the chest at another time. The Quranic “revelation” to Muhammad that allows the beating of wives seems rather convenient for the first Muslim wife abuser.
    “The Prophet forbade the acceptance of the price of a dog or blood, and also forbade the profession of tattooing, getting tattooed and receiving or giving Riba, (usury), and cursed the picture-makers.” Bukhari V3, #299

      Because none of them has been forcibly mutilated a la Mode Muslim – yet.

      The Muslims are being brilliant about that – no forced FGMs on non-Muslim females. They know that word about that would get around the non-Muslim female population of any non-Muslim country like wildfire.

      This is why I believe that educating western women about Muslim FGM and making them aware that Muslims are beginning to call for all women and girls to be mutilated (not just Muslim females), would cause a great uprising against Islam in most western countries.

      religion. education. government. they have their infiltration into all of them. they’ve been in the colleges for decades. government of course too.

    The fact that this man can speak in a Church is mind-numbing. Glad I’m Orthodox. If this happened in my Church, I would notify the Bishop immediately.

    And he’s completely right: If you look at the regressive feminists, they are violent and intolerant just like Islam.

      PS Not to mention the lacking of any sense of humor.

    How Syed Soharwardy fights
    POSTED BY EZRA LEVANT ON FEBRUARY 16, 2008 IN UNCATEGORIZED | 647 VIEWS | LEAVE A RESPONSE
    http://WWW.EZRALEVANT.COM/HOW_SYED_SOHARWARDY_FIGHTS/
    I’ve personally experienced three styles of Syed Soharwardy’s aggression since I published the Danish cartoons two years ago. First, Soharwardy tried to have the Calgary Police Service arrest me; when that didn’t work, he took me to the Alberta Human Rights Commission; when that didn’t get me to submit — in fact, when I fought back, and it backfired on him — Soharwardy went into P.R. mode. That hasn’t gone too well, either. Here’s Licia Corbella’s report on Soharwardy’s “make love not jihad” visit to the Calgary Herald:

    The founder of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada (ISCC) asked for a meeting with the Herald’s editorial board via an e-mail, arguing that Levant was “attempting to paint me as a hate-mongering, anti-Semitic, Wahabi radical who wants to see Canada governed under sharia law. Nothing could be further from the truth.”

    While preparing for the meeting, a quick search on Canwest’s library system showed a Jan. 17, 2004, column written by the cleric.

    In it, he wrote: “Sharia cannot be customized for specific countries. These universal, divine laws are for all people of all countries for all times.”

    In the same column he also boasts: “I am one of the founding members of the Islamic Institute of Civil Justice. The mandate of the institute is to resolve disputes within existing Canadian laws by using the principles of conflict resolution from Islamic Law, or sharia.”

    :::

    But in our meeting, Soharwardy denied his own column. “I never asked to bring sharia in Canada,” he now insists.

    As for the allegation he’s anti-Semitic, in 2000 he wrote in his newsletter: “Presently, what Israeli forces are doing to Palestinians is worse than the Holocaust of World War II.” Comparing Israel’s attempts to defend itself to the carting of millions of Jews in cattle cars to gas chambers is obscene.

    :::

    Some of Soharwardy’s most vile words came after the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami that killed more than 280,000 people.

    While Christians from around the world were emptying their wallets to help the victims of this natural disaster, Muslim leaders were blaming the disaster on immoral Christian tourists in their countries.

    Soharwardy seemingly got swept up in the wave of anti-Christian rhetoric and sent out a news release accusing Christians of kidnapping Muslim orphans in Indonesia. Again, he denied his own written words.

    :::

    But here’s what his Jan. 23, 2005, news release actually said: “ISCC . . . strongly condemns the exploitation of tsunami victims by the Christian missionaries. There have been several reports that the Christian missionaries are kidnapping Muslim children in Indonesia. . . . It is now proven that the Christian missionaries do not help people on humanitarian grounds. They help people in order to exploit their needs and convert them to Christianity.”

    :::

    To us, he said he lodged his complaint with the AHRC because he felt Muslim “youth were getting alienated” not because the cartoons subjected him to hatred.

    :::

    To the CBC’s The National on Wednesday, however, Soharwardy gave a different reason for dropping his complaint against Levant, who has spent two years and $100,000 in legal fees fighting this Orwellian battle: “People were looking at Ezra Levant as a martyr of freedom of his speech . . . taking this into a different direction that I did not want.”

    That’s a pretty blistering column. But the Calgary Herald should be careful. Soharwardy doesn’t take kindly to criticism.

    I think I’ve parried his thrusts pretty well — including laughing off this threat from Soharwardy’s lawyer. But other critics of Soharwardy haven’t fared so well.

    When members of Soharwardy’s own mosque started asking legitimate questions about his management of their mosque and its funds (see here, here and here), his response was to slap them with a $5-million lawsuit. Here’s his Statement of Claim, and their Statement of Defence. It’s a fascinating exchange, and it’s being going on under the radar, so far. I don’t have a strong opinion about things, other than an acquired skepticism for anything Soharwardy utters. I do know that Soharwardy’s grandly-named Islamic Supreme Council hasn’t filed its corporate returns, and is at risk of being struck from the corporate registry. And I also know that he hasn’t filed his mosque’s charitable filings in Ottawa, either.

    Both of these could simply be the result of Soharwardy’s absent-mindedness. Or it could be, as his critics claim, because he has taken a decidedly third-world approach to financial accountability — pocketing the money, or using it, as alleged, for inappropriate real estate adventures. I wonder if the matter will get to trial — something tells me that Soharwardy will fold in examinations for discovery when he has to cough up his documents. That will be fascinating.

    He should be charged with “uttering fake news”.

    We can look at Saudi Arabia, the pinnacle of sunni islam, and Iran, the pinnacle of shia islam, to see how women are treated. The more islam, the worse for women.

    Islam is like George Orwell’s book 1984 where everything Big Brother says is the exact opposite of reality. That is why the human species must wipe it out. Otherwise it will eventually destroy us all !!!
