Germany: Islamic Center Munich recommends “beating” women who are “unruly”

Aug 5, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

“The Islamic Center Munich [IZM] invokes the Koran.” Of course it does.

“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)

In light of those passages, the Islamic Center Munich might not be so open about its stance on this issue, but it is extremely unlikely to change it.

“German Islamic community recommends men hit ‘unruly’ women,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, August 4, 2019:

The Islamic community in Munich issued guidelines on its website that encourage men to assault their wives or female partners if they are “unruly.”

The Bavarian Broadcasting 24 outlet published the shocking report on Saturday, writing, “In the case of a marriage in great difficulty or when the partner is ‘unruly,’ the Islamic Center Munich [IZM] invokes the Koran. Accordingly, the husband should comply with three steps: First, reprimand. Second, separation in the marriage bed. And third, beating.”

Visitors of IZM’s website have been informed about the permissible beating of women for 15 years, according to the Bavarian Broadcasting 24 journalists Sabina Wolf and Joseph Röhmel, who first reported the story.

The Islamic community’s alleged advocacy of anti-woman violence is under the website category “Woman and Family in Islam.” The classification states that the beating “has a more symbolic character.”

The Munich prosecutor’s office told Bavarian Broadcasting 24 that the incitement to violence against women on the website is not a crime….

    “The Munich prosecutor’s office told Bavarian Broadcasting 24 that the incitement to violence against women on the website is not a crime…”

    Then for god’s sake pass a law that makes it. a crime. And don’t let the Islamic Community of Munich “explain” that the “beating” of wives recommended at its website is merely “symbolic.”

      That’s right!

        BUT… BUT … it’s their CULTURE to beat women.

        Response: But it’s also Aztec CULTURE to rip the heart out of ceremonial, human sacrifices.

        Wife-beating is regulated by Reliance of the Traveller:

        M10.11: Dealing with a Rebellious Wife

        it is permissible for him to hit her he believes that hitting her will bring her back to the right path.

        Mohammed said, “Hang up your scourge where your wife can see it” – Kash-shaf (the revealer) of al-Zamkhshari (Vol. 1, p. 525)

      Inciting violence *should* be a crime.

        After hearing the Munich prosecutor’s Office resolution, a dilemma has risen:
        Should I punch lightly my petite letter box or should I cast my Darth Vader to beds apart instead?

    It’s in the Koran, according to Muslims this is from God so it must be fine right. Islam is total nonsense

      “Will they not then ponder on the quran?If it had been from other than allah they would have found therein much incongruity”
      Koran 4:82

      So,if allah is claiming to be God and evidence of contradictions are found in the koran,it cannot come from God.

      And lo and behold,there IS a contradiction in the koran.

      k4:85 Intercession is allowed according to allah
      k74:48 Intercession is prohibited according to muhammed

      One part of the koran cancels out another part of the koran,muhammed contradicts allah.

      By al lah’s criterion of k4:82,we see such incongruity exists ,and since allah claims to be God,the koran must come from other than God.

      And it does:it comes from al lah{“the BEST of deceivers”k3:54},a pagan Arab god desperately trying to pass himself off as the actual Judeo-Christian Biblical god.

      islam and logic:separated at birth.

      In Morocco recently I witnessed a man beating a woman publicly on the street.

      She sank to the ground.

      Passers-by took not a blind bit of notice, and walked past like it was an everyday occurrence.

    I wonder if the women had a fleeting hope that they may be protected under Westetn law. Safer, like the citizens in their new home.

    The same Germany where postings on social media can get you in legal troubles:

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/20/world/europe/germany-36-accused-of-hateful-postings-over-social-media.html

    And Heaven forbids you post something anti-immigration…

    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2017/06/04/62-year-old-german-woman-fined-1000-euros-sharing-anti-migrant-joke-online/

    Now, I wonder what the reaction would be if this:

    The husband should comply with three steps: First, reprimand. Second, separation in the marriage bed. And third, beating.

    were posted as guidelines in, for example, AfD’s site. I suspect the outrage would be unheard of, even by the standards of the professional victim-mongering leftist “activists”.

    In any case, one must look at the bright side: the islamic centre said to beat “unruly” women, not “the ones from whom you fear disobedience”, like the quran states. How “progressive” of them…

      Exactly. In Germany … Criticize the ideology of Islam = big problem. Tell Muslims to hit women = no problem.

      Is it legal in Germany to CONDEMN ISLAMIC WIFE-BEATING? Will the minister of justice condemn ISLAMIC WIFE-BEATING? Yes or no?

      • James Lincoln says

        Aug 5, 2019 at 4:19 pm

        mortimer,

        It brings up the following question:

        In Germany, is it NOW okay for non-Muslim men to announce and publish on social media that is okay to beat your wife?

    Aug 5, 2019 at 10:43 am

    Don’t you think that the self-styled German ‘progressives’ would CONDEMN the solicitation of violence against any group in society and especially ‘violence against women’ ??? Why do they not condemn violence against women when it comes from SHARIA?

    If AfD called for wife-beating, would the Bavarian prosecutor CONDEMN the Afd?

    You know they would.

    Well, the temptation to proclaim Islamic doctrines in Europe may be great, but we live in a civilized society, and Islam is not the native religion. If they have doctrines contrary to the values of the West, they should, well have a revelation that these Islamic values are no longer valid in Europe and the West today. Or in any civilized country, actually. if they cannot do that, then they should face penalties including expulsion and stops on immigration of members of their religion.

      No kuffar/infidel is superior to the Muslim Male. None. Women are 2nd class citizens. But even Muslim women are better than infidels. When their numbers are enough you will be asked to convert to Islam, be enslaved or die.
