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

Whitewashing Islam: Qasim Rashid on Women in the Quran

Oct 20, 2017 4:17 pm By David Wood

The Independent recently published an article entitled, “How the Teachings of Islam Could Help Us Prevent More Sexual Abuse Scandals,” by Qasim Rashid (an apologist for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community). Rashid argues that the Qur’an and the teachings of Muhammad would be a tremendous benefit to women in the West.

In a previous video, I explained why Qasim’s central thesis is correct, namely, because Islam makes it extremely difficult for women to prove that they’ve been abused (thus reducing the number of scandals). In this follow-up video, I go through Rashid’s claims, point by point, to see if he’s telling the truth.

      So youtube does not want anyone to note that Islam sacralizes the abuse of women?

        All may have to move to DUCKDUCKGO & stay away from YOUTUBE !
        Facebook as well !
        The WEST seems to have bowed to ISLAM Already !
        The MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD & WAHABI MONEY & SAUDI Led Push for SHARIA !!
        Soros publically stated that the US would be the hardest to crack !
        Europe is easy apparently with the UK being close to Sharia Compliant already !
        POLAND & HUNGARY will be cracked later ???.
        Canada with TRUDEAU is an ON GOING project for SOROS & the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD but he feels quite doable !

        ScrewYouRubeTube loves covering up criminals’ crimes by hiding and destroying the evidence.

        I’m sure that’s also a crime, but since most judges are libertine “liberal” criminal appointees, they always think the best way to solve problems is to ignore them, and the best way to deal with crimes and the criminals who commit them is to pretend there are no real crimes or criminals because we’re all just fellow victims of magical and unknowable yet also strangely inevitable forces beyond our control – making us victims of “society” and mere products of our environments, and of course also proudly helpless slaves of allah.

        Whee.

    David Wood (PhD Philosophy of Religion, Fordham U.) rarely if ever misses the target. In this case, the target is a slick conman who Qasim Rashid whose sleight of hand has deceived myriad reporters with little or no study of Islam’s foundational doctrines of misogyny, bigoted warfare against disbelievers and especially TAQIYYA the sacralized use of deception to trick DISBELIEVING KAFIRS to be unaware of JIHAD.

    Qasim Rashid tries to win this IDEOLOGICAL WAR by cunningly SHIFTING THE GOAL POSTS to prevent the counterjihad team from scoring a goal while moving the goal posts of his own team towards the ball. Through this devious deception, ISLAMIC IDEOLOGY has scored most of the goals in the IDEOLOGICAL WAR, by distracting the opposing team… who unfortunately think that this is a friendly, unserious sports match. The Muslim side has a totally different point of view.

    Whereas Western people are hoping for an outcome where the two sides break even in a tie match, the MUSLIMS EXPECT TO WIN and ARE PLAYING TO WIN… no matter HOW LONG that may take.

    An excellent point by point demolition. Thank you , David Wood.

      “Demolition” is what’s required. Forget Mortimer’s “tie match” and do the world a favour.

    ……………………..

    David Wood adroitly dissects this blatant Taqiyya.

    so what is going on with Tariq Ramadan then? by Qasim’s logic -either that’s not a scandal or else Ramadan isn’t a Muslim.

    i suspect what Qasim wants to say is that taking nonMuslima women against their will isn’t rape, by definition. in which case there is no scandal.

    I always learn a lot from watching a video by Dr Wood. This video is no exception. And I am pleased that Dr Wood is now posting on JW. I look forward to all his future posts.

    Oh my! Poor Linda Sarsour! The Qur’an says she is mentally deficient, morally deficient, and prone to telling untruths. Maybe somebody should mention this to her so she can defend herself.

      Kafirs certainly don’t need the Qu’ran to tell them that!

    • Karen says

      Oct 21, 2017 at 8:12 pm

      Yes, the Koran and Hadith instruct us that women constitute the majority of the eternally damned, have half the legal standing of men in court, and the unique ability to cancel out the prayers of Muslim males simply by walking in front of them. But I’m sure Qasim would tell us that we misunderstand the Koran. Since we don’t speak Arabic, we must rely on flawed translations, where “strike” or “beat” actually means “heal”, and where Mohammad was an early marriage counselor and civil rights advocate.

    “Rashid argues that the Qur’an and the teachings of Muhammad would be a tremendous benefit to women in the West.”

    Dear Qasim, thanks but no thanks. We won’t be needing any of that.
