Islamic teachings command such a relationship. My latest in PJ Media:
Janet Jackson’s now-estranged Muslim husband Wissam Al Mana, according to insiders, “swept in at just the right time” when they first met in 2010, and Jackson was at a low point in her life. Al-Mana “bailed her out and whisked her away to the Middle East.” Soon, however, Jackson began to feel “like a prisoner” in the marriage. Al Mana wanted “a traditional wife who stuck with Muslim traditions,” and Jackson began to chafe in the role.
That’s not surprising. Jackson felt “like a prisoner” because that’s exactly what Islamic law expects of “a traditional wife who stuck with Muslim traditions.” South Carolina Muslim cleric Muhammad Sayyed Adly recently said that the man owns the woman and that women should be “as prisoners in your hands or in your house.”
Adly is no “extremist.” A manual of Islamic law certified by Al-Azhar, the foremost authority in Sunni Islam, as “conforming to the practice and faith of the orthodox Sunni community,” stipulates:
[A] woman may not leave the city without her husband or a member of her unmarriageable kin accompanying her, unless the journey is obligatory, like the hajj. It is unlawful for her to travel otherwise, and unlawful for her husband to allow her to. (Reliance of the Traveller m10.3)
As a traditional Muslim wife, Jackson could also have expected to be beaten if she got out of line. This is because the Qur’an says:
[M]en 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. (4:34)
Nowhere, of course, does the Qur’an teach that a woman can beat a man under any circumstances.
The Qur’an also likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used by a man as he wills:
Your women are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth as you will. (2:223)
It declares that a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man:
Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as you choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her (2:282).
It allows men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with slave girls (those “your rights possess”) also:
If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly, then only one, or one that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice (4:3).
The Qur’an has more that oppresses women. It rules that a son’s inheritance should be twice the size of that of a daughter:
Allah directs you as regards your children’s inheritance: to the male, a portion equal to that of two females (4:11).
It allows for marriage to pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures “shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated” (65:4).
Islamic law stipulates that a man’s prayer is annulled if a dog or a woman passes in front of him as he is praying. This is because Muhammad’s favorite wife, his child bride Aisha, is depicted in a hadith (a report of Muhammad’s words and deeds) saying:
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. (Sahih Bukhari 1.9.490)
Another hadith depicts Muhammad saying that the majority of the inhabitants of hell are women:
I looked into Paradise and I saw that the majority of its people were the poor. And I looked into Hell and I saw that the majority of its people are women. (Sahih Bukhari 3241; Sahih Muslim 2737)…

Too bad the “nasty women” from earlier this year haven’t tried being married to a muslim, maybe it would cure them for good. (Especially Ashley Judd, who kept her mouth tightly shut about Weinstein’s antics while preaching against Trump.)
Carolyne says
Ashley Judd is an idiot. I read part of a book she wrote in which she said, “A banana tree smiled at my soul.” so she climbed it and went to sleep in its “Branches.” Banana trees don’t have branches. They have fronds which would not support a human trying to sleep on one. I’ve never seen one exhibit human qualities, i.e. smiling, either. Also, she bragged about going to third world countries to help the oppressed women. Although I admit I only read a small portion of the book, about a fourth, before I threw it away, what I read was about her contribution toward these which was to hug them.
Mac-101 says
It true that Jackson got 100 million for havin his baby in a 5 year period by prenup then LEFT?
Westman says
“Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away, for I disliked to face him.” – Aisha
If Muhammad was the perfect man, then a loveless, male-dominated, marriage with a fearing wife must be the perfect Muslim marriage?
MFritz says
I remember someone telling me an old Turkish saying: “The best thing for a woman is a baby in her belly and a bludgeon in her back.”
Gwendolyn E Mugliston says
What a shame. Her life will forever be changed? What on God’s green earth was her rationale?
His ears are set much too low. She should have been wary.
Carolyne says
His butt is much too close to the ground, too. This would never be acceptable to a Turk.
David says
I suspect now that this might have been a a high profile ruse to incite women to follow Ms C Jackson’s example and marry into is l a m. How did that work out for you, Janet? How many lives of low intellect celebrity followers have been further ruined? How many will come up against the cold, hard steel of sharia?
I wonder about leftists says
I looked into Paradise and saw a lot of people who dared to speak up and spoke because they wanted their own freedom and freedom of speech, who haven’t harmed anybody.
Then I looked into Hell and saw a lot of…………..Somebody passed by and I asked him, who those people in Hell were.. He looked at me and then he said very calmly: “They made their own Hell.”
You can make your own Heaven ,or your own Hell ! The decision is always yours to make, and you have to live by your own choices
And this Kaffir, knew that the man was right, and she was happy, she made the right choice for free speech and to be free and not being oppressed and always trying to live in real peace.
Sarah says
God I struggle to dredge up a bit of compassion for her with this. I’m really trying to. I don’t know her from a bar of soap. For all I know, she’s an awesome person.
And given her career and her childhood and indeed, her entire life as someone in the spotlight, I guess I just figured she’d be wiser to nonsense. That doesn’t necessarily mean intelligent (and maybe she is, for all I know) but surely she is cynical and pragmatic by now? She’s over halfway through her life and has had just about everything thrown at her, through that life – if that doesn’t make you cautious and careful, then there is no hope for you, really.
She not only made a gigantic tactical error for her own life, by marrying that walking bag of violent filth, but she has condemned an innocent child to it all. That kid is going to grow up and become a complete mess.
Just imagine it – that poor kid is going to be pushed and pulled in some extremely confronting extremes. On one hand we have the obscenely decadently luxurious Arab lifestyle, with a father who is obviously, traditional to his faith and culture. The father will teach the kid that women are worthless and buy the kid a new Lamborghini for his 10th birthday, whilst the kid is surrounded by sadism, violence, misogyny and sickening excess and inequality. He’ll be taught the Arab priorities of honour and tribal loyalty above all else and that to be a victim is to be weak – and always lash out and attack – to prove your honour and strength.
On the other hand, the kid is going to be taught the individualism of American culture and the equality, entitlement and compassion of Western culture. Raised within a family environment with a family that is notoriously, famously, dysfunctional and greedy by a mother who is clearly questionable in her ability to stand on her own two feet and make rational choices. Given everything he wants, with very few rules and limitations and restrictions – in comparison to the strict Arab way with the Arab expectations.
This kid is going to make a bunch of therapists very rich one day. He has absolutely no chance of growing up normal and achieving a healthy, happy, normal life. He’s going to have Arab culture pulling at him, American culture pulling at him. Add in the African American subculture within that American culture, and toss in a good dose of Islam with a sprinkling of Jehovah Witness. Then add in the greed that he’ll be raised in and the access to unbelievable wealth that he will have. Finally add in media attention with paparazzi shadowing his mother’s every move.
The poor kid. His future will include both a place on a watch-list and a 5150 hold.
SteveFinSC says
Actually, if the father has custody of the child, which the Saudi courts will of course grant, he will rarely, if ever, see his mother or her family or much of secular American culture. He will no doubt be brought up as a good Saudi boy with few “bad” Western/American influences.
gravenimage says
I hope she can keep the kid safe.
PRCS says
Muslim women are subject to greater “wardrobe malfunction” consequences than “filthy unbelieving” women are.
Donafugata says
I was just about to say,
Not much chance of wardrobe malfunction in that outfit.
larry says
I’ll bet he wouldn’t have had anything to do with her if it were not for the Jackson family money. A Muslim gold digger.
fbijihadidefender says
The far left Martin Luther King Jr. has any to say in heaven ? No, even Janet Jackson is black and she felt like living in prison. This is the nature of leftiest: appease Islam and bark at good and kind infidels.
patriotliz says
“Jackson began to feel “like a prisoner” in the marriage”….Well, DUH! What did she expect, sunshine and lollipops living as Muslim slave?
staffsgt7 says
I wonder if her highness will help to wake up hollyweird, and other useful idiots to what islam is about?
Carolyne says
She felt like a prisoner because she was a prisoner. This is Muslim life for a woman.
No more “Wardrobe malfunctions” for her.
