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

Finland: Muslim men rape and beat their wives, threaten to kill them because they asked for divorce

Oct 17, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

A worldwide culture of violence. But if you say anything about it. You’re the problem.

Again:

“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)

And also:

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning” (Bukhari 4.54.460).

There are no excuses allowed for any reason: “By him in Whose Hand lies my life, a woman can not carry out the right of her Lord, till she carries out the right of her husband. And if he asks her to surrender herself [to him for sexual intercourse] she should not refuse him even if she is on a camel’s saddle” (Ibn Majah 1854).

“Muslim duo raped their wives in Helsinki, drove victims to seek shelter and threatened their lives- explanation in court: ‘Man just being a man,'” translated from “Muslimikaksikko raiskasi vaimot Helsingissä, ajoi uhrit suojaan ja uhkasi henkeä – selitys käräjillä: ‘Mies on mies,'” by Solmu Salminen, Iltalehti, in Tundra Tabloids, October 13, 2019:

Successive incidents of honor violence held in Helsinki courts. The actions were justified, among other things, by Sharia law.

  • On the same day, the Helsinki Court of Appeal handled two restraining orders relating to honor violence.
  • District Court decisions remained in effect. Men had beaten and raped their wives because of their demands for a divorce.
  • One of the men appealed to Sharia law.

Male violence and a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam led to restraining orders.

The Helsinki Court of Appeal has rejected two consecutive requests for further processing of restraining orders stemming from Islamic honor violence.

In both cases, the restraining order became final. In both cases, a man committed sexual and physical violence against his wife because of the woman’s demand for a divorce. Both women were also threatened with murder.

In the first case, the district court issued a restraining order in June. A Yemeni woman was married to a man, forced to marry at the age of 15 – the victim was told to have suffered repeated acts of violence. According to the complainant, the man repeatedly forced her to have sex, restricted her freedom of movement, and beat her.

She filed for divorce. The man became “crazy”, she said.

– [The man ] had told the complainant that he would rather kill the woman and bury her in the sand than agree to divorce, the court quotes.

– Every time the complainant had asked for a divorce, [the man ] had strangled her and said that “you are my property” and that the defendant would by no means consent.

Man: “It’s a Family Thing”

According to the wife, sexual violence also included assault if she did not consent to sex. The woman made at least two reports of crime and fled to a shelter.

The man denied his violence and appealed to Islamic law.

According to – Sharia – law, divorce was not possible without the consent of their parents. It was a family affair. The man had promised the woman’s parents that he would take care of it, the man is said to have stated in court.

In another case, the district court issued a restraining order in July. Even now, the Muslim man pesters his wife violently: he threatened her with a knife, raped her so that the victim was leaking blood in the genital area, among other things followed her in the streets. The district court document does not disclose whether the sex offense has been reported to the police.

Again, the rage had risen from divorce intentions. The woman discovered drugs such as opium and cannabis from her husband. The man threatened her with a knife when she wanted to call the police.

– The defendant had always said proudly that he was not like other men. If the wife divorces, he first kills the wife, then the children, and then himself, the district court will refer to the woman’s story.

“Then the judgment is death”

The man also threatened to poison his wife several times and injure her in a wheelchair. He also blamed his threats in consultation with outsiders. One came to testify in court.

– The defendant had said that as a man, he would not succeed if his wife wants a divorce, then the sentence is death, only a man can want a divorce, the witness said.

The couple has two children. The woman had to change the locks on a detached house due to his menacing behavior.

In both cases, the district court issued a primary injunction. The District Judge, who had dealt with the former, commented separately on the underlying phenomenon.

– Honor Violence aims to save the family’s reputation or honor, which is considered to be spoiled as a result of the abuse of a female family member’s community moral and chastity rules, the District Court writes.

– The circumstances that have arisen and, in particular, the demand for divorce is completely forbidden for women are all very typical motives for honor violence.

    My last posting about the brutal, cruel violence Muslim husbands inflect of their wives was an example of a vicious actions of a Muslim husband towards his wife in the country of India.

    Now this time an example of this is found in the nation of Finland. This leads to a much needed reiteration of the factual information provided in the book THEY MUST BE STOPPED written by Brigitte Gabriel which she reveals on pages 171,172 that “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements Islamic ideology.” And “Woman in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.”

    Indeed, they must be stopped!

    The translation is bad but the details could be filled in easily and accurately, given literally millions of other similar stories before this one.

    I would hate to be a woman in Islam, they’re treated like less than dirt.

    Wherever you have Muslims, Muslim women are guaranteed to be second-class to men (if even this and also in the stupid, childlike Muslim afterlife).

    Additionally, per Muslimthink, non-Muslims, whether male or female (even worse off if female) are the “vilest of creatures” (Sura 98:6), all the while Mohammedans are “the best of peoples” (Sura 3:110).

    Islam is so sick. Many, many, many times over.

    Wake up all those who are non-Muslim and realize that Islam is a monumental curse to mankind. The curse began with the reputed founder of Islam, Mohamed, whose character is not only not admirable but execrable. All downhill thereafter from 632 A.D. onward when that malevolent bastard died. And still going downward to this day. Way overdue to reverse this descent and this can only occur if Islam, all of it, is looked upon as the most giant negative over the longest period of time in man’s history.

    To all adult Muslims I say this: Shame on you for remaining Muslim. Profound and deep shame. You are a burden to the human race and I personally am so sick of you all.

      Response to Wellington who wrote: “To all adult Muslims I say this: Shame on you for remaining Muslim.”

      That is where the problem lies: shame. But in Islam, ‘shame’ is the opposite of ‘honor’. Islamic honor is a condition of being in charge … of being powerful. In your and my thinking, the opposite of shame is righteous conduct. HoevernMuslims speak a different language. Muslims do not feel ‘guilty’ when they defend their honor. They consider ‘honor’ as a form of currency.

      Islam is an honor/shame cult. Brutality and aggressiveness = macho.

      In the honor/shame culture of Muslims and Islam, women are the modern ‘dhimmis’ and slaves that validate Arab of Muslim male supremacism. There is little or no sense of guilt in an honor culture when the alpha Muslim male ‘takes back’ his honor from a woman who brought shame on him. This ‘honor’ is considered repaid after blood has been shed. (K.11.173 “Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.”)

      Pieces of an opponent’s honor can be ripped from him/her through a successful attack, to be exchanged with figments of the attacker’s shame and inferiority in the involuntary transfer. The successful attacker has “exported” some personal shame upon the enemy, and the enemy’s stolen honor has been added to the attacker’s store.

      Our Western guilt culture is typically and primarily concerned with truth, justice, and the preservation of individual rights. In contrast, in a typical shame culture such as the Arab/Islamic culture, what other people believe has a far more powerful impact on behavior than even what the individual believes. A Muslim’s desire to preserve honor and avoid shame to the exclusion of all else is one of the primary foundations of the Islamic culture. This desire has the side-effect of giving the individual carte blanche to engage in wrong-doing as long as no-one knows about it, or knows he is involved.

      The Muslim world is suffering a crisis of humiliation. Muslim men eradicate shame and bolster their shaky self-esteem by imposing the shameful qualities of the dhimmi, submission and passivity, upon women. Trailing a humbled woman behind them, Muslim men can walk the walk of the true macho man. This is why the abuse of women will remain a constant practice in Islamic societies.

        In other words, mortimer, Islam and its idea of honor really suck.

        Just to sum matters up and all that.

        +1 all posters. Islam is like 1984: everything means something else…….peace means submission, freedom is slavery, I don;t think a true Muslim has any notion of individual responsibility.

    Any Muslim women to speak up on this forum? It would be nice to hear from them.

    What we usually get in the media are a few high-profile Muslim women who go on about how ’empowering’ it is to be a Muslim woman, wear a hijab etc.

    But life for most Muslim women seems to be pretty awful. They are as downtrodden as it gets. Why the Left ignores this in its celebration of ‘diversity’ is one of the mysteries of our time.

        It’s really a case of cognitive dissonance.

        The Left: we embrace diversity and uphold the rights of women.

        Sceptic: but the diversity that you ’embrace’ degrades women and takes away their human rights.

        Left: does not compute, ignore, ignore, ignore …

    I guess the article stating that this is clearly the result of allowing Islam into the country and that it should be forever banished was on the op-ed page.

    I’ve been to Finland. It’s a great country, one of the best places to live.

    What a shame if a bunch of Muslims come in and ruin it with their barbaric ways.

    Stand up for yourself, Finland!
