“The sheet of paper distributed by the teacher states Sharia Law, or Islamic religious law, gives Muslim men sexual rights over any woman or girl not wearing the hijab or head scarf; allows a man to marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9; and requires Muslims to lie to non-Muslims to advance their faith.”
This material may not be appropriate for seventh-graders, and it is indeed “appalling,” but it is not inaccurate.
1. “Sharia Law, or Islamic religious law, gives Muslim men sexual rights over any woman or girl not wearing the hijab or head scarf.”
This is stating flatly what is only implied in Islamic texts, but it is not inaccurate. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified. We have seen Muslim migrants all over Europe committing mass sexual assault and rape of non-Muslim women, making it clear that at least some Muslims do indeed believe that Sharia gives them sexual rights over women who aren’t covered.
2. “Sharia Law…allows a man to marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9.”
Let’s see what Islamic authorities have to say about this:
“Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq Akintola, professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Nigeria
“There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law.” — Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-‘Ubeidi, Iraqi expert on Islamic law
There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council
“Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.” — Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology
Hadiths that Muslims consider authentic record that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage:
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88).
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Bukhari 5.58.234).
Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old.
Marrying young girls was not all that unusual for its time, but because in Islam Muhammad is the supreme example of conduct (cf. Qur’an 33:21), he is considered exemplary in this unto today. And so in April 2011, the Bangladesh Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini declared that those trying to pass a law banning child marriage in that country were putting Muhammad in a bad light: “Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, [putting] the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.” He added a threat: “Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.” The Mufti said that 200,000 jihadists were ready to sacrifice their lives for any law restricting child marriage.
Likewise the influential website Islamonline.com in December 2010 justified child marriage by invoking not only Muhammad’s example, but the Qur’an as well:
The Noble Qur’an has also mentioned the waiting period [i.e. for a divorced wife to remarry] for the wife who has not yet menstruated, saying: “And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women, if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated” [Qur’an 65:4]. Since this is not negated later, we can take from this verse that it is permissible to have sexual intercourse with a prepubescent girl. The Qur’an is not like the books of jurisprudence which mention what the implications of things are, even if they are prohibited. It is true that the prophet entered into a marriage contract with A’isha when she was six years old, however he did not have sex with her until she was nine years old, according to al-Bukhari.
Other countries make Muhammad’s example the basis of their laws regarding the legal marriageable age for girls. Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine: “Marriage before puberty (nine full lunar years for girls) is prohibited. Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed.”
According to Amir Taheri in The Spirit of Allah: Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution (pp. 90-91), Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight. Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl “a divine blessing,” and advised the faithful to give their own daughters away accordingly: “Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.” When he took power in Iran, he lowered the legal marriageable age of girls to nine, in accord with Muhammad’s example.
3. “Sharia Law…requires Muslims to lie to non-Muslims to advance their faith.”
“Requires” may be a bit strong, but it certainly allows it. Qur’an 3:28 warns believers not to take unbelievers as “friends or helpers…unless you are guarding yourselves against them.” This is a foundation of the idea that believers may legitimately deceive unbelievers when under pressure. The Qur’an commentator Ibn Kathir says that the phrase “unless you are guarding yourselves against them” means that “believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers” may “show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda’ said, ‘We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.’ Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, ‘The Tuqyah [taqiyya] is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.” While many Muslim spokesmen today maintain that taqiyya is solely a Shi’ite doctrine, shunned by Sunnis, the great Islamic scholar Ignaz Goldziher points out that while it was formulated by Shi’ites, “it is accepted as legitimate by other Muslims as well, on the authority of Qur’an 3:28.” The Sunnis of Al-Qaeda practice it today.
Also, there is Muhammad’s statement, “war is deceit” (Bukhari 4.52.268). He also allowed for lying in battle and between a husband and wife (Muslim 6303). And when he gave permission to one of his followers, Muhammad bin Maslama, to murder one of his critics, Ka’b bin al-Ashraf, he also gave Muhammad bin Maslama permission to lie to Ka’b in order to lure him close enough to be killed.
And Muhammad is the “excellent example of conduct” for Muslims (Qur’an 33:21).
As for the parents’ claim that their son has been bullied because of this material, it cannot be taken at face value in light of the numerous “anti-Muslim hate crimes” that turn out to have been faked by Muslims. They must produce evidence of some kind — would eyewitness testimony from other students be too much to request? Probably. What is most likely is that the California Department of Education will take the claims of the parents and Hamas-linked CAIR at face value, without examination, and drop this material.
“Appeal filed over ‘appalling, Islamophobic’ teaching material distributed in 7th-grade social studies class,” by Deepa Bharath, Orange County Register, January 11, 2018 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):
The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Los Angeles chapter filed an appeal this week on behalf of a Ventura County family whose son received instructional material in his seventh-grade social studies class that berated Muslims and which was taken, the group says, from an anti-Muslim website.
During a press conference Thursday morning, Jan. 11, at CAIR-LA’s Anaheim office, the boy’s parents said their son is afraid and reluctant to go to school since October because he is being bullied by his peers for being Muslim in reaction to the inaccurate statements contained in the history teacher’s instructional material.
CAIR-LA’s appeal to the California Department of Education challenges the Mesa Union School District’s determination that the teacher’s actions were not discriminatory. The school district is located in Somis, an unincorporated community in Ventura County.
District superintendent Jeff Turner declined comment. The district “continues to seek resolution of this matter,” he said in a released statement.
The material the teacher distributed contained information taken from the website billionbibles.org, which makes “inaccurate and disparaging” statements about Islam and Muslims,” said Masih Fouladi, CAIR-LA’s advocacy manager.
The sheet of paper distributed by the teacher states Sharia Law, or Islamic religious law, gives Muslim men sexual rights over any woman or girl not wearing the hijab or head scarf; allows a man to marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9; and requires Muslims to lie to non-Muslims to advance their faith….

The Muslims are claiming that their kid is being ‘bullied’.
Possibly *some* of the other kids are acting warily around him.. and why not? Some of them will have heard about Islamic State teaching Musilm kids to cut off heads. Some of them may have heard about Muslim kids stabbing, or trying to stab, people, in Israel.
One must also bear in mind the Muslim habit of projection.
In all Muslim-dominated countries – e.g. Egypt, and Pakistan – non-Muslim kid who attend the state-run schools are usually mercilessly buillied, not only by their Muslim classmates but by their Muslim *teachers*. They are marked down. If the Muslim kids physically *attack* them, the Muslim teachers stand by and do nothing. Barnabas Fund’s prayer letter frequently mentions this sort of thing.
The Muslims claim that their son is being ‘buillied’ in an Infidel school; because they project onto the Infidels what would certainly be the case, if the situation were reversed, and a non-Muslim child in a Muslim country were attending a school where most people were Muslims.

This is the DIRECT WORDS OF ALLAH. Allah is implying that Muslim men have a RIGHT to ‘MOLEST’ uncovered women.

When this goes into court the teacher needs to take the Quran and show what it says on these subjects. Put a CAIR representative on the stand and have him deny each one and then ask him to explain away the evidence. Of course there is no guarentee that he won’t lie about it. Then point out where Muslims are admonished to lie to further Islam.

billybob says
Islamic texts such as the Quran and Hadiths are “problematic” to say the least. This causes no end of grief for Muslims, who refuse to acknowledge the problems in their texts. There is no end to the convolutions, rationalizations, and outright lies they employ to defend their faith. Furthermore, this whole “Islamophobia” industry is required as an attempt to stop people from criticizing Islam. Discrimination against Muslims is almost entirely due to these texts and the Muslims who follow them too faithfully.
We have many religions where people dress strangely, or hold bizarre beliefs, such as the Amish or Scientology and even the Mormons. Yet, these groups suffer little discrimination in comparison to Muslims.
No wonder there are strong blasphemy laws in Islamic countries to stop people from criticizing Islam. This religion cannot stand up to logical examination. Even democratic nations require special legislation (such as Bill M103 in Canada) to stop criticism. Muslims need to acknowledge and take responsibility for their texts. It is time for them to stop blaming others for the problems within their religion.

Discrimination? You’ve gotta be kidding.
1. The ‘Islamophobia’ strategy is working and the evidence for its success is seen daily on MSM, in the justice system, in academia, in print reporting, and in the relentless, vicious attacks on those who inform others of the facts about Islam.
This strategy is not just for those who ‘criticize’ Islam, but more often, for those who simply and benignly speak and write about Islam, drawing from its authoritative texts and scholars.
2. I don’t know where you got your information, but the victim narrative used so often and successfully by Muslims is paying off. Many of the reports of discrimination against Muslims have been proven false, and are indications of the shameless deceit used against ‘infidels’. The brainwashing achieved by propaganda-spewing Islamic apologists (Muslim and non-Muslim) and the silencing of truth-tellers thru ‘hate-speech’ laws has been impressive.
infidel numero uno says
Too bad the “profit” was not aborted or still borne prior to foisting his evil on the Earth.
Tom says
The plan to demonize any criticism of Islam has been ratcheted up.
Previously it was only used to try and shame those who criticized Islam when it seemed obvious that they were using rumour and innuendo and blatent hate speech.
After this approach became successful without any backlash, the Islamic groups then started their campaign against the ones like Robert Spencer who were trying to educate the kuffar. There was no substantial pushback from anyone and growing support from liberals and progessives, so they decided to push the envelope and go after those individuals who stood up and told the truth.
Next step is to enshrine ANY criticism, whether valid or not, of Islam into law. As has been done in Sweden and recently a 90 year old man has been charged for criticism of Islam.
We have to start pushing back at those who claim Islamaphobia when the truth is being told. If we don’t act NOW to stop groups like CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood from influencing our governments with their false claims of Islamaphobia, we will ALL be either subjugated to Islam or criminalized for speaking out.
It’s history repeating itself yet again
“First they came for the communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist,
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist,
Then they came for the jews, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a jew,
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.”

CAIR is indignant that a teacher dared question the unquestionable; that this teacher chose some truth (differing from the majority of his peers) and didn’t edit the subject into anything other than a flattering, respectful light. The teacher might have used other sites for different wording but wouldn’t the end message (‘islam has some serious, troubling issues– here is a taste’) be the same? Imo these students are old enough. They might even do some research into CAIR itself…
Agree with the commenter who wrote the teacher deserves props for stepping into this ‘storm’. If CAIR can’t bear even this amount of light hitting islam, well, that’s one hypersensitive cockroach.
