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

Survey shows large percentages of Muslim men approve of honor killing, wife-beating, marital rape

May 8, 2017 3:21 pm By Robert Spencer

Honor killing, wife-beating, marital rape, polygamy — all justified in Islamic texts and teachings, and all approved of by large numbers of the Muslims surveyed here. What is surprising is that these percentages are so low, given the approval in Islamic texts for all these practices. Apparently many Egyptian and Moroccan men know to tell pollsters what they want to hear.

“Survey finds deeply regressive views of women among large majorities of Muslim men,” National Secular Society, May 3, 2017:

A large-scale survey of views in Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco and Palestine has reported extensive anti-women views and widespread tolerance of domestic violence.

The three countries and Palestine were selected to be broadly representative and “to reflect the diversity of the region”….

The report, produced by International Men and Gender Equality Survey (IMAGES) found that “The majority of Egyptian men consider it their duty to protect the honour of women and girls in their family, and nearly three-fifths agree with honour killing in some circumstances. More than 90 per cent of men saw male honour as directly contingent on their female relatives’ dress and behaviour”.

Just 45% of Egyptian men believed there should be laws “criminalizing domestic violence, including marital rape.” And only 70% of Egyptian women agreed with this statement.

43% of Egyptian Muslim men said they would approve of their son having multiple wives, though just 9.5% said they would approve of their daughter marrying a man who already had other wives.

Only 6.6% of unmarried men said they “have no problem with marrying someone of a different religion”, and a tiny 2.3% of unmarried Egyptian women said the same.

Just 39% of Egyptian men approved of women serving as leaders of political parties, though 93% said they should be able to vote.

60% of Moroccan men said “if a woman is raped, she should marry her rapist.”

62% of Moroccan men said “a woman should tolerate violence to keep the family together”, and 38% agreed “there are times when a woman deserves to be beaten”. Shockingly, 20% of Moroccan women agreed with this.

The report collected anecdotes and accounts from men and women across the four countries surveyed, including many accounts of domestic violence….

    This shows how important it is teach real morals to children and insure society is protected from deviant behavior indoctrination. People like to pretend behavioral imprinting, like Pavlov’s dog, does not occur in humans but this shows it does. This is why real history is important to taught as well as what the consequences of behavior often involve.

      The opinions of muslims may be of interest to the West.
      They are of no consequence to Islam’s teachings.
      Islamic doctrine is not influenced by muslims’ opinions.

      “It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a
      matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger
      to have any option about their decision…”
      Koran 33:36,
      part of Islamic law

    • Don Foss says

      It’s all part of the Sunnah. How can a practicing Muslim not support it?

    What about the opinions of Muslim men in the United States and Canada.? The rest of the world is moot.

    • MacUalraig says

      May 8, 2017 at 4:59 pm

      I agree we should have extensive polls like that done in the US, but I don’t agree that what Muzz think overseas is unimportant.

      As long as many in government want to use the American people’s money to bring this kind of scum into the country, to feed and clothe and educate them… I care to have these polls conducted and reported on.

      It is not “moot” when there are open borders and mass migration with these people having multiple wives and children . It is not “moot” when these thoughts are held by University professors, government officials and prominent attorneys in Canada and the United States.

      • Enola G says

        May 9, 2017 at 8:43 am

        Oh and I forgot to mention it is also not “moot” when this thinking has infiltrated our military.

    • gravenimage says

      May 10, 2017 at 1:06 am

      Jon, over half of Muslims in the US support the imposition of brutal Shari’ah law.

      There is *no* reason to think that Muslims in the West somehow fail to share the beliefs of their coreligionists in Dar-al-Islam.

    Muslims need to cover their faces so they are not identified, beat women down to raise their feeling of power over women. Women are smarter than most Muslim men.

    • Christiebiscuts says

      May 9, 2017 at 9:52 am

      Anyone is smarter then a muslim! I say that because only idiots could believe what that ‘religion’ espouses.
      The cruelty acted out on women and children is evil. No one should treat another human that way, one last thing, their cruelty towards animals knows no bounds. How can a normal civilized country even consider allowing these creatures in with out “deprograming” them is beyond me.

      • Nancy Albert says

        May 9, 2017 at 3:35 pm

        I concur wholeheartedly about deprogramming them. But why let anyone into the United States who tolerates or practices behavior which is against federal and state laws? Every state has minimum ages for marriages, laws against murder, spousal & child abuse (FGM). No employer should be forced to put up with praying 5x a day. Federal laws ban polygamy and slavery. No individual should be allowed in public with their face covered.

        Teddy Roosevelt banned polygamists or people who approved of it in 1907. This is not “racist”.

      • gravenimage says

        May 10, 2017 at 1:08 am

        I’m afraid attempts at “deprogramming” Muslims has never worked.

    The truth about the Muslims is shameful and embarrassing to the American people so the censorship has to continue

      It’s called Stockholm syndrom.

    Polls of Muslim opinion are likely unreliable, given that many Muslims are aware that Islamic practice with regard to domestic violence, pedophilia, honor killing, rape of non-Muslims, etc. are not popular in the west and the religion is very explicit in encouraging deceit in the cause of Allah.

    • Donald R Laster Jr says

      May 8, 2017 at 6:53 pm

      Agreed. As an aside when referencing the god of Islam the name to use is Hubal or Baal. The word Allah simply means “the god”. It is not a name. The god of Islam is the chief god, associated with the moon, of a pantheon of 360 gods.

  10. mortimer says

    May 8, 2017 at 8:35 pm

    Opinion surveys of Muslims show that hundreds of millions of Muslims still support medieval, barbaric practices that are incompatible with modernity or life in Western countries. Such people should be screened out from entering the West.

    • Donald R Laster Jr says

      May 8, 2017 at 8:48 pm

      Please don’t insult those from the ancient world. Very few society practiced the depravities that Islam promotes. Most of what we believe in today were believed in in the ancient world.

  11. Baucent says

    May 8, 2017 at 9:15 pm

    I love this photo. It captured the oppression and just plain weirdness of Islam. Perhaps we can buy an outfit like that for Ms Greer and the other feminist apologists of Islam.

  12. davej says

    May 8, 2017 at 9:21 pm

    So they “believe in protecting the honor of women and girls” – by KILLING them “under certain circumstances”?

    Isn’t that the definition of demented lunatics?

    They should just kill themselves and leave the poor women alone.

    • Donald R Laster Jr says

      May 9, 2017 at 4:45 am

      Under the teachings of Islam the victim is responsible for what happens to them. That is why a girl who had been kidnapped, used in prostitution, recovered by police and returned to her family, was killed by her family. Under Islam she was responsible for what happened to her. It is a depravity. The actual text teaching this is towards the end of the Qur’an in one of the shorter chapters. When one reviews the history and teachings one finds Islam is rooted in depravity. When one looks at what many “Progressives” promote one find depravity as well. This is one reason I suspect they get along so well with each other. Both promote depravities.

    I have problems with most polls.

    One. Usually just a small sample. In the recent Presidential elections most polls were 1,000 to 2,000 people.

    How many were on these polls.
    That is a question.

    Next. Did the poll takers or their bosses want specific results. If so. Answers that would have skewered the desired results could have been spiked.

    Lastly
    In these countries. Where were the polls taken
    Rural areas probably would give different results than the major cities.

    • Donald R Laster Jr says

      There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.
      — Disraeli

      Polls are a variation of statistics.

    • Enola G says

      May 9, 2017 at 8:52 am

      The Poll is not needed. Just open our eyes and view how people live, what crimes are being committed around the world and the state of women and girls around the world. It’s obvious just like Hitler was obvious. For crying out loud listen when we are called infidels, when we are taunted with “death to America.

    Milo Y: “Islam is a self evidently hilarious religion. The women look ridiculous (in their stupid niqabs).”

    Yes they do. Like those monsters in Pac Man.

  15. Matthieu Baudin says

    This survey would have been more probing and useful if it had distinguished between respondents according to religious affiliation as well as country/region and sex. One assumes that Coptic Egyptians and also Christian and Druze Lebanese were amongst those questioned.

    • gravenimage says

      May 10, 2017 at 1:12 am

      Christians and other religious minorities make up a small percentage of the population in Dar-al-Islam. It is likely that most of these were Muslims.

  16. Enola G says

    May 9, 2017 at 8:55 am

    Just the fact that there is a survey should tell the world something. There are no surveys asking women if sperm should be harvested and all men killed because guess what that isn’t an issue.

    When a woman dresses like that in the above picture, who could even recognize her as being a friend or a relative or a neighbor. Just a material covered non-person.
