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

India: Islamic orgs denounce ban of instant divorce, say women have more rights in Islam than in other religions

Sep 20, 2018 2:47 pm By Robert Spencer

As predicted.

“Maulana Shamimuddin Munami of Sajjad Nashin Khanqah Munamia also opposed the ordinance and called it a political stunt. He told this newspaper on Wednesday that women have more rights in Islam than in any other religion.”

Really?

The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men 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.” — Qur’an 4:34

The Qur’an 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” — Qur’an 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” — Qur’an 2:282

It allows men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with slave girls 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” — Qur’an 4:3

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” — Qur’an 4:11

It allows for marriage to pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures “shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated” — Qur’an 65:4

“Muslim clerics oppose ordinance,” by Faryal Rumi, TNN, September 20, 2018:

PATNA: Islamic organizations in state, including Imarat Shariah, have opposed the ordinance passed by the Union cabinet on Wednesday making triple talaq a punishable offence. They accused the central government of interfering in the Muslim personal law, which is based on the Shariat (Quran and Hadith).

Imarat Shariah is a prominent religious body of Muslims in Bihar, Odissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal. Its general secretary Maulana Anisur Rahman said the lower and middle class Muslims would suffer the most from this law as more than 20% of the cases of instant talaq are reported among them.

“The lower income group Muslims with little knowledge of the Quran and Hadith give instant talaq in case of dispute with wives,” he said and asked: “If a person gets three years of imprisonment for giving instant talaq, what will happen to his children and wife after that?”

He said the ordinance is against the personal law board and any interference in religious matters is wrong. He further said the central government’s ordinance would be challenged in the Supreme Court on various grounds. For example, he said, the new law makes triple talaq void, meaning thereby that it did not materialize. “Punishment for what when there is no offence,” he asked.

Maulana Shamimuddin Munami of Sajjad Nashin Khanqah Munamia also opposed the ordinance and called it a political stunt. He told this newspaper on Wednesday that women have more rights in Islam than in any other religion. “We opposed triple talaq because it’s not the right way for separation. According to the Quran, talaq is one of the most disliked acts that a believer can perform and it also forbids Muslims to give instant talaq. However, it is accepted if a person gives instant triple talaq, but it is sinful in the eyes of Almighty,” he said….

“We are already working to stop triple talaq. The government should have consulted Islamic clerics before passing the ordinance,” said Munami.

    Islam is a prison. The clerics are the jailers.

    Tell me exactly which “right” was granted to women under Islam that had NEVER been granted to women before?

    The Muslim answer to that is doublespeak. The master of Islamic double speak, Sheik Yusuf AL-Qaradawi, in a long discourse called “The Status of Women in Islam”, had this to say about the differences in legal testimony between men and women:

    “Yet the distinction is far from being due to any belief in a deficiency of the woman’s humanity and integrity. It is rather due to her natural disposition and her special inclinations which may exclude her involvement in such matters while being focused on motherhood or the household. Hence, there is very likely to be a kind of characteristic inattention on her part when it comes to handling these matters. For this reason, Allah commands creditors if they want to verify the value of debt to seek the testimony of two men or one man and two women. The Qur’an puts it unambiguously: ” so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her. [ Surah 2:282]”

    I’m triggered.

    …………………..

    Women have the “right” in Islam to be summarily divorced, to be beaten, raped, and “Honor Killed”.

    Muslims are virtually running a parallel government in India in their usual manner wherever they go…As I have said many times here on this forum and others too… India is surely headed for second partition latest by 2047. The first partition was in 1947. As I see it, both the Eu and India are locked up in a dead heat race as to which will completely Islamize or fragment by Islam first.

    It is amazing how scared the males are of females,is it their”honnor” ,inability, whatever that means ,they are afraid of????these koran followers seemingly do not independently think or reason,as a scholar of their own observed “we can not even fabricate a single screw of the cars and things we use from the west”and they want to dominate ,the imams can be compared to the Nazi Gauleiter.Islam is useless for development

    They are turning Logic upside down as usual by accusing the government of interference.

    Actually imposition of Sharia here is the act of interfering in the Law of the Land – the National Laws of India .

    Muslims always self-aggrandizing by claiming they are above all infidel National Laws of the nations in which they are resident – they practice Total Treachery and insubordination.

    It lines up so beautifully with George Orwell’s “Newspeak” in his novel, “1984.”
    It is all “DOUBLE PLUS UNGOOD.”

    It certainly lines up beautifully with George Orwell’s “Newspeak” in his novel, “1984.”
    It is all “DOUBLE PLUS UNGOOD.”

    ”women have more rights in Islam than in any other religion.”
    They have taken more rights (and uppercuts) from their owners than they have been granted by their so-called religion.

    Koran 4:34; states men “are in charge” of women; Sahih Bukhari, 6:301, Deficiency in women’s intelligence; 2:28, 54:464, women comprise the majority of Hell’s occupants. Sahih Muslim, 4:1039. Aisha, (Mohammed’s child wife & his favourite), said [to Mohammed], “you have made us equal to the dogs & asses.” Abu Dawud, 2155; Women are compared to slaves & camels with regard to the “evil” in them. Sahih Bukhari, 72:715, A women seeks Mohammed’s help in leaving an abusive marriage, but is ordered by the prophet to return to her husband & submit to his commands. Somewhere in the Texts after a woman, badly beaten by her husband, her bruises had turned green, seeks Aisha’s help & confront Mohammed. Basically he said, “what can you do?” She had to go back to her husband. Aisha said, “Nobody suffers like the women of those who Believe.”
