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

India: Muslim clerics pressure Indian government to allow anti-woman Sharia practice of divorce

Oct 19, 2018 2:01 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Indian government has criminalized the Sharia practice of Triple Talaq. The Triple Talaq is the process by which a Muslim man divorces his wife simply by reciting thrice: “I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you.”

The criminalization of the Triple Talaq is being met with stiff resistance from Islamic authorities….

Maulana Mahmood Madani, general secretary of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind coming out strongly to say that “no Government has the mandate to interfere in religious matters.”

He also accused the Indian government of “undermining the popular sentiments of Muslims” (aka “Islamophobia”). Madani continued:

Any law or ordinance to this effect will not be acceptable to the Muslim community at any cost. The Muslims are religiously duty bound to adhere to Shariah at all and will keep doing so.

The Western world remains willfully blind about the inferiority of women that is enshrined in Islamic law.

“Muslim clerics step up attack on government over triple talaq ordinance,” by Ambika Pandit, Times of India, September 20, 2018:

NEW DELHI: As it prepares to move court against the government’s ordinance making instant triple talaq punishable, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board is all set to convene a meeting of its top brass shortly to firm up its position on issues ranging from instant talaq punishable and concerns around polygamy.

The AIMPLB is likely to meet sometime next week on the matter and finalise the future course of action. Meanwhile, on Thursday, Maulana Mahmood Madani, general secretary of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind coming out strongly to say that “no Government has the mandate to interfere in religious matters.” Madani termed the government’s move as “hostile attitude, tyrannical suppression of the democratic process and undermining the popular sentiments of the Muslims.” “The pieces of recommendations given by the religious fraternity, Shariah expert organizations have also been completely brushed aside,” he alleged.

Madani said that according to the Constitution of India, both the Judiciary and the Parliament do not have any mandate to interfere in the religious affairs of the Muslim community. “Therefore, any law or ordinance to this effect will not be acceptable to the Muslim community at any cost. The Muslims are religiously duty bound to adhere to Shariah at all and will keep doing so,” he added….

    The Shariah experts use of the words “religious fraternity” stands out. Islam is a fraternity … for men only. The feminists speak derisively about the “partiarchy.” Surely, Islam must be one of the things they deride and detest above all else. But no, we hear only crickets. Why in the world would any woman want to be a Muslim??? ….. unless she has been brainwashed or actually does have half a brain.

      Marxists and muslims are controlled by the same craven spirit of Satan.

    ………………

    I hope India stands tough.

    And how is Muslims wanting to discard wives like toilet paper a “religious matter”?

      Second largest Muslim populaion is in India. Thanks to Gandhi and Nehru. These Indian Muslims play a vital role in vote-bank politics. Hence most Indian political parties are very careful to say anything against these Muslims.

        Dipak: BJP and Modi clearly showed in 2014 that you don’t need to kiss muslim behind for electoral win. The muslim vote (and consequent appesement) has been perpetuated as myth for very long. Modi and BJP rode to power on Hindu votes; they did not give a damn abt muslim votes.

    And where are the feminists? Islam is the most anti women ideology on the planet.

      I believe in equal rights for women, and I oppose this.

        Feminism is probably the most insidious element of cultural Marxism. Freedom ONLY in Jesus Christ.

          Oct 19, 2018 at 8:47 pm

          So you don’t think that men and women should have equal rights? Where did Jesus say that they do not?

          Do you believe that Muslims should be able to summarily divorce their wives?

    Madani termed the government’s move as “hostile attitude, tyrannical suppression of the democratic process and undermining the popular sentiments of the Muslims.”

    That is Orwellian-speak – up is down, black is white, tyranny is democracy. islam and democracy are as compatible as oil and water. Triple talaq in particular, and sharia law in general, have nothing whatsoever to do with any kind of “democratic process “.
    The hypocrisy of these muslim scumbags always makes me sick, although it doesn’t surprise.

    Muslims of India have been running a PARALLEL GOVT for long…..and this is increasingly leading to the SECOND partition of the country… I have predicted the date as 2047 if not b4. As of now, both the Eu and India are locked in a deadheat race as to which will get Islamized first..

      You would think if the muslims of India do not approve of sharia law, they would move to pakistan. And since hindus in Pakistan can not become the president due to their religion, (2nd class citizens) they would move to India.

    Those veils. I finally figured it out. How Islam hides its severe shortage of dentists.
