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

Morocco: Video surfaces of woman brutally beaten by husband

Jul 24, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“In September, Morocco criminalized sexual harassment and toughened sentencing for perpetrators of domestic violence. But activists criticized the law for not going far enough to protect women.”

How could it? This is mainstream Islam:

“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

Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” — Aisha (Sahih Muslim 2127)

“Video of Moroccan woman’s bruises after alleged beating by husband ignites outrage,” The Observers, July 18, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):

Social media users in Morocco expressed fury after a video emerged of a woman with large bruises on her body who described being beaten by her husband.

The woman’s eyes appeared heavily swollen and she had deep purple bruises on her thigh and torso, as seen in a video posted on Facebook on July 7. It has since been viewed nearly 850,000 times.

The woman said her husband attacked her after she questioned his late return home. “I asked him, ‘Why are you coming home late?’ He answered, ‘Why does it matter to you?’ And he beat me,” she explained in the video, filmed by a passer-by.

The woman said she went to the police but was rebuffed. “They didn’t even let me in,” she said. “My husband also took the children from me.”

Online users, outraged at the violence the woman had been subjected to, demanded a response from authorities….

    Injuries resemble what happened to Aisha,
    Mohamhead’s special child bride….

    They are both Muslims, the husband beating his wife into pulp and the wife being in the receiving end. Having said that she will probably go to hell for exposing her husband doing what husbands are supposed to do when they follow their Prophet Muhammad and the holy Koran.

    This is Islam, this the teachings of the Koran. There is no Islam Light, an Islam which respects human rights and decency as we know it from our Christian heritage.

    It is a matter of choice. Either you commit yourself to human rights and decency as is obviously the purpose of the new Moroccan legislation on home violence or you stay devout Muslim and neglect laws and values as the Moroccan police did.

    You cannot have it both ways. Islam comes with the costs that it commands its followers to commit the worst of crimes, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, slave taking and trading, sexual exploitation of women, female genital mutilation, inequality of men and women before the law etc. etc.

    It is time to wake up and to fight this barbarian “religion” of uneducated and brutal people from the first millennium. We are fighting to defend culture and values. The model prescribed by the Koran had neither.

      It’s not what the Quran says that encourages wife beating but also the Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad: Sahih Bukhari (72:715) – A woman came to Muhammad and begged him to stop her husband from beating her. Her skin was bruised so badly that it is described as being “greener” than the green veil she was wearing. Muhammad did not admonish her husband, but instead ordered her to return to him and submit to his sexual desires.
      A very barbaric way of life.

          No wonder the WATERMELON is a popularly appropriate motif
          for Islamism blending with Leftist programs, as the Green New Deal:
          Red inner agendae wrapped in Islamic outer shell of Green
          being embraced by viral enviro-kooks…

          Book by James Simpson is worth reading:

          “RED GREEN AXIS:
          Refugees, Immigration, and Agenda to Erase America”
          ==========================================

          Jun 11, 2019 –
          Jim Simpson recently released a new monograph,
          which updates his original 2015 work, “The Red-Green Axis”….

      From the ill-fated Crusades to the American action against the Barbary Pirates the moslems have a great deal to be thankful for. Those 2 actions were relatively slight and short-lived: the Americans sent a few bombs into some ports and the Crusades didn’t last very long. In fact the moslems involved have a great deal for which to thank Christianity. If the Christians had, in fact, believed in a less kindly belief system they would have taken the whole Arab peninsula and slaughtered everyone in it.

        The book “Infidel Kings and Unholy Warriors:
        Faith, Power, and Violence in the Age of Crusade and Jihad”
        by Brian Catlos of Spain and Colorado
        makes the point that human vanity got in the way of successes
        as well as sparked much of the mayhem of incursions by both parties…

        Islam makes account for greed and pride….promoting sins for a false faith.
        Christianity warns against not heeding to the guidance of stemming sins.

        Both the Crusades (in their vast history and long bridge of time)
        as well as the shorter periods of actions taken by America vs the barbaric
        Barbary Pirates and states supporting such jihad on the seas and coastlines,
        had their mishaps and learning curves….but the West would not have gained
        progress had they not occurred. It is important to stand up against Jihad, in
        all of its forms.

        For those who wish to “strive” to be better people as muslims, just convert
        to Buddhism or if you seek a person Godhead, then connect to Christ! +++

    Morocco: Video surfaces of woman brutally beaten by husband
    ……………………………..

    Grimly, this is orthodox Islam–as is the husband taking the children.

    Also common is the police refusing to do anything.

    So much for Morocco being a “moderate” Muslim nation.

      Morocco has always been part of the Magreb for Arabs,
      after the territories of Byzantium had been invaded…

      It has long been a launching point to attack European possessions.

      Who really believes a man, this self-centered and violent, will take good care of children? Are there more wives? Maybe, “where have you been”, is asked after arrangement for a new wife?

      “But, I thought you were leaving the kids with your former wife?”, says next wife. “Shut up and take care of them!”, he replies…..

    Had a coworker from Somalia some time ago. She said, “Here men don’t beat their wives because it is against the law.”
    I know that all aren’t always law-abiding but laws do matter.

      Friend worked at a US bank where an Arab muslima
      who used “human resources / HR” rules through
      a bullcrap discriminatory lawsuit pursuit, lying all the way,
      whereby they got full payment for an entire year while
      they sought employment elsewhere — FRAUDS.

      Basically they felt justified in their actions among themselves
      for collecting JIZYA….

      Muslims across the continent of North America are doing this:
      making it more difficult on non-muslim / Kuffar in business transactions,
      causing more anxieties than necessary, trying to get more out of work done
      for them by complaining over bogus matters, trying to frustrate Kuffar if they
      are trying to get work bids….

      “Here men don’t beat their wives because it is against the law.”

      In the script of the movie, “Not Without My Daughter”
      the Christian wife of the Muslim doctor of the story
      said that before he forced her to stay in Iran he was
      not abusive to her, disrespectful toward her in America,
      …until he got among his fellow Muslims
      in Iran…

    Next the imam and husband will have the police charge her with uncovering herself and posting on internet? How much jail time for that? In some nations she’d be publically tied to a tree and whipped, beat and struck with a cane how many times or have excrement poured on her? Will the imam now claim husband’s honor has been violated and instruct husband to honor kill her?

    When I was in Morocco, the group I was with had been ushered into an imam’s compound, which had poorly maintained dogs and donkeys by the roadside, and then we were brought into the shade past a tunneled arcade alley full of cats into an adobe-formed casa with carpets on the floor and sweet tea waiting for us to sip as the imam spoke welcoming words to us….and mentioned that “shariah originally meant a path to water, and is only now a system for laws, very simple, it is our way — nothing to be afraid of.”

      I have three wonderful memories of my one trip to Morocco. The first was having to visit the local doctor suffering from severe food poisoning as a result of the superior cuisine in our 4* hotel, the second was a coach trip to some historic town where the locals insisted on banging on the side of the coach as they persuded us to buy their carpets; and the third was of a very friendly local gentlemen who collared us outside the hotel one morning and insisted on showing us some of the local sights of Tangiers out of the ‘goodness of his heart’, ending up in a back alley somewhere where he demanded a somewhat sizeable ‘fee’ for his services – or else some of his chums were round the corner. What a lovely place! Haven’t been back there for some strange reason.

    This poor woman is probably stuck with that evil man and his equally evil religion for the rest of her life. She looks very young too.

      May the True God bless her and keep her and have mercy upon her soul. May she come to know Jesus Christ and not the false Isa of Islam.

    There is no problem here as this is allowed in Islam. Nothing to see, go home people Muhammad would approve.

      Good point.

      One more reason to convert away from Islam.

    Slowly and painfully, the Islamic has to be hauled into the 21st.Century and very quietly forget about its irrational beliefs.
