UAE mother loses custody of her children for leaving Islam

Aug 3, 2017 11:30 am By Robert Spencer

The court did not sentence this poor woman to death, as per Islam’s death penalty for apostasy. They must be moderates.

“UAE mother loses custody of children for changing religion,” by Ahmed Shaaban, Khaleej Times, August 2, 2017:

The Ras Al Khaimah Personal Status Court of Appeal has stripped an expatriate mother of her children’s custody rights.

The court has also ordered the defendant, an Asian, to hand over the two kids to her husband, who is staying in the country.

The higher court said that the mother lost the custody of her children on the basis of the fact that she changed her religion and became a non-Muslim.

“As such, the mother cannot keep her children, be they male or female, in her custody after they turn five years as they can understand the rites of religion.”

As per court records, the father filed a lawsuit against his wife at the Ras Al Khaimah Personal Status Court of First Instance….

Dissatisfied with the verdict, the father then approached the Ras Al Khaimah Personal Status Court of Appeal, which stripped his wife of the rights to custody of their children, and ordered them to be returned to their father’s care.

    One has a better chances of getting away for murder in Islam rather than changing their religion. It is a big no no. In Iran, where I come from, on Sundays there are always police in front of churches to make sure no muslims go in for the fear one changing his/her religion. m

      What words must a Muslim say to apostatize? Does a Taqiyya-proof method exist?

      If/when the day comes our government chooses to force Apostasy on national Muslims, what method must the government use to ensure genuine compliance?

        Hi! Not sure what you are asking me. m

          I assume you are an Apostate from Islam.

          If so, please describe the method you used to divorce yourself from Islam.

          Can you describe a reliable method our government could use to force Apostasy on Muslims?

          Thanks

          Daniel, I don’t believe any Western government is going to force Muslims to apostatize.

          Moreover, given Taqiyya, I don’t believe that there is any iron-clad manner of determining whether someone has left Islam.

          These days, when someone says they have left Islam they are usually telling the truth, because it is so dangerous–the danger is from devout Muslims–that few would say such a thing if it were not the case.

      Hi Miriam! Thanks for sharing this with us. I would certainly like to hear more from you. I strongly believe that we are missing out what is really happening in countries like Iran. Perhaps Robert could one day publish a story from your hand.

        I am very active on this blog Johan. Here is what you are missing from countries like Iran and the rest of Islamic countires:

        Backwardness
        Stuck in 8th century
        Slavery
        Lies
        Marginalizing and torturing minorities
        Beating women
        Stoning
        Cutting hands and feet
        killing non muslims
        sacrificing animals
        raping and sodomizing 8 year old girls
        Legal prostitution(sighe in Shai)
        having sex with animals
        This should sum it I think….m

      In Saudi Arabia there are no churches so no police needed.

        I mean no police needed to keep people from converting to Christianity.

    “The court did not sentence this poor woman to death, as per Islam’s death penalty for apostasy. They must be moderates.”

    A religion where this is something to brag about… is a problem.

    The UAE is allegedly a great moderate exemplar. Well, I guess that’s true if moderate means somewhat less violent, but not if it means non-adherence to Sharia.

    You know right there, Islam follows a false god, false prophet and a false book. The One True God which is Jesus Christ gives freedom to His followers. Christianity is much better than Islam in every way. The only One Holy Book is the Holy Bible.

    What was that jive about, “no compulsion in Islam”? Now I understand. “There is no compulsion in Islam if you submit.”

    In Christianity we are not forced to believe or do anything. We all got a free will and what you do with it, is on your own account. Moses asked got, by which rules they could live the best, and God gave him the 10 rules, NOT COMMANDS, rules that you can follow or not. And our God is not a God, who punishes you, you always punish yourselves by your own deeds, which come back to you anyway.
    The most important thing is : Who are you and who do you want to be, it is all about choices. May our God bless us all and the Muslims too. IN REAL PEACE !!!

    UAE mother loses custody of her children for leaving Islam
    ……………………

    This poor woman. This is standard Islam, though. As noted, in many other parts of Dar-al-Islam, she wouldn’t just lose custody of her kids; she’d be murdered for converting out of that foul creed.

    God, I hate Islam.

    • John S. Obeda says

      Aug 4, 2017 at 1:55 pm

      Gravenimage, friend, I hate Islam too. So many of us do. And God hates Islam even more, even more, for it is He that created Ishmael and his descendants, not I. And It is His commandments that the descendants of Ishmael reject. The Psalmist , a descendant of Isaac, speaks the truth when he writes: “You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the Lord abhors.” (Psalm 5:5 NIV)
      “But, God, the Triune, You work so very slowly. Please stop Ishmael’s evil works.”

      But I must add: and yet God the Father sent Jesus into the world to atone for the sins of all of the children of Shem, Ham and Japheth and the children of Ishmael too. That’s the great love of the only God that exists.

      • Raja says

        Aug 4, 2017 at 2:09 pm

        John your comment is very relevant. The evil and belligerent Islam has made the world in two parts. —you get them or they get you. It is a slugfest ALL THE TIME. It is you or them.

        It is best to leave this dirty job to politicians and the military, otherwise we would all be history like Armenians and Romans of Constantinople to name a few.

    Don’t let those high rise buildings and shopping malls fool you—-UAE is a Muslim country and acts as such.

    I wish there was more information available about the Mother. To be clear, no parent deserves to lose their rights just for choosing to change their religion.

    But frankly, if it were to turn out that this woman married a Muslim for love and converted into the faith with the marriage – and thus is abandoning it as a result of the marital breakdown, then frankly,my empathy for her starts shriveling up.

    It reminds me of the case in Australia of Sally Faulkner and Ali Elamine. She’s a white Australian, he’s a Leb. She married the doofus, had kids with him and the marriage broke down. Being a Muslim, he of course, nabbed the kids and parked them in Lebanon away from Sally and despite Australian court orders, refused to return them.

    She went to some pretty brain-dead extreme’s to try and get the kids back (including dragging a media team along with her with a security team who tried to kidnap the kids back, in Lebanon). They all got jailed for that stupid stunt. And she is still to this day, without her kids, who are no doubt being raised to hate their mother with a passion.

    It seems like every month we hear of a new story of some woman who married for lllooovveee and was hoodwinked by a Muslim man. Then when the marriage breaks down, they lose their kids. The Muslims use the kids in a vindictive stand-over tactic to cruelly hurt and punish their ex-wives for DARING to divorce them and leave Islam.

    So if this UAE mother was a case like this – well – I’m sick of hearing of otherwise presumably intelligent women making such elementary mistakes (of which the poor kids pay the consequences for). If she has always been a Muslim and has decided to renounce Islam now – well good for her – but did she not think there were going to be consequences? She should understand her own faith better than that.

    That’s the lesson here, folks. Do NOT marry a Muslim. Do not have sex with one. Do not have kids with one. Do NOT convert to Islam for them. No, their ‘love’ for you will not last the ages and no, they will NOT be kind and peaceful and fair in their actions towards you, once you dare to leave them.

    If you are a non-Muslim- THEN STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MUSLIMS AND ISLAM for any reason, without exception.

    That woman will never get her kids back, And they will be raised to hate her on sight, with a deep and abiding passion. And that unfortunately, is the consequence of her actions, by marrying a Muslim to begin with and having children with the POS.

        100% agree.

    Someone should tell Linda Sarsour how Islam has empowered this poor woman.
