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

Switzerland: Muslim cleric preaches in Friday sermon that men should beat disobedient women

Oct 11, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Imagine how embarrassed the Office of the Attorney General of Lucerne will be when it finds out that this imam is no “extremist,” but was just preaching mainstream, Qur’anic Islam.

The mandate for beating women is in the Qur’an: “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

According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad beat Aisha, his famous child bride. Muhammad, according to Aisha, “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?” (Sahih Muslim 2127)

“Investigation opened against Lucerne imam,” SwissInfo, October 8, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Office of the Attorney General of Lucerne has opened an investigation into an Iraqi imam at the Dar Asalam mosque in the town of Kriens. The man is alleged to have advised followers to beat their wives if they disobey them.

The procedure was opened following an article recounting the incident in the SonntagsZeitung newspaper on October 6, the prosecutor’s office told the Keystone-SDA news agency on Monday.

According to the newspaper, the 38-year-old Iraqi made the remarks during a speech at a Friday prayer session at the Kriens mosque, near Lucerne, at the beginning of August.

The man, who is presumed innocent until a final decision is made, purportedly suggested disciplining women with physical violence if other methods such as discussion or taking separate beds fail. He also reportedly called for respect for sharia law.

SonntagsZeitung reported that the imam arrived in Switzerland in 2007, where he filed an asylum request that was rejected. He was reported to have received an F residence permit which allows foreigners to be provisionally admitted to the country in cases where it is impossible to send them back home for specific reasons….

      Sure, what movie did you see that happen in, because it will never happen irl. Remember that all female Kurdish soldier group? Ever hear from them again? You know why? They were all slaughtered within a couple of weeks after the stories in the West. Whoopsie.

      Btw, “Islam is right about women.” –meme from somewhere, that is just a fact of reality.

      The women, here in America, will beat their husbands into the next room, if they hit them, let alone beat them. The men will be killed by their wives, if they get beaten by their husband. Yup. The men would dare not close their eyes to sleep at night, they could be stabbed, among other things.

      The women could beat them up, shoot them dead, bash their heads in with a tire iron,etc., throw them down the stairs AND bash their heads in, poison their food and drink, flush them down the toilet. The list is endless. Many women, today, are trained in marshall arts, as well.

      Moral of the story: Don’t mess with American women or their children. Regardless of what the evil ones try to turn America into, you still don’t want to mess with American women. The newly brainwashed muslimized American men, with their new bully egos, will regret it. However, they may not actually ‘live’ to regret it. They will get it right in their own homes.

      This may apply to women all over the world. It is the 21st Century.
      Women have evolved and do what is necessary. In short, todays’ women do not take schitt from any man. Women don’t need to be in groups.

        I wish you were correct about American women fighting back against attacks by men; however, it is only the law that protects us. Men are naturally stronger than women and could enforce sharia if the law supported it. Police and the military are male and, like it or not, many American men would like to be able to beat their wives if they could get away with it. American women who are sympathetic to sharia are ignorant of the way Islam treats women.

    There should be an incompatibility category.
    This guy has no business taking up space and resources in a free and democratic society. Mark him “i” for incompatible and send back to the hell hole he crawled out of.

    To be a Muslim is indeed to be a slave to antiquity, out of step with the current times, and hopelessly enmired while humanity stumbles forward.

    Muslim apologists wallpaper Islam to hide its past while its “scriptures”, unchangeable records of its past, are open for all who would read. The majority of mobile Muslims “may” choose to peacefully integrate into other societies while Islam’s scriptures instruct the opposite and expect world domination by Islam. Any Muslim, at any time, can choose the scriptural directives over Western law without spiritual consequence. This has allows violent jihad.

    What does a Muslim say when another Muslim beats his wife and points out that he is only following the Quran?

    Ridiculous, for social media, demonstrations by two males of wife beating with a “twizzle stick” do not erase the allowance to beat a wife from the Quran.

    How many times must a judge in a Western country hear a Muslim declare that his Quran said he could beat his wife before the judge gets off his high bench and reads the Quran?

    It seems that Islam is now being made victorious by ignorance and deception.

    But we were all told that Islam is the “MOST FEMINIST” religion !!

    Smell the hot-steaming piles of farm-fresh *FEMINISM* … not.

    (sarc/off)

    What Mohammed actually taught about women:

    – Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an

    – Women, slaves and camels are the same

    – Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman

    So different than the word of God where Jesus commands husbands to love their wives and to love his wife like he loves himself and that a husband should be ready to lay his own life down for his wife like Christ laid his life down for us.

    The problem is he’s beating the wrong women and using the wrong theology to do it. Why can’t he start with our American feminists? Most of the Muslim women I’ve met are pretty respectful. The same cannot be said for American and other feminists.

    We are rightly reviled by the practise of wife-beating, especially on a god’s command. Women who suffer this abuse need all we can do to put a stop to it. I want to just also say that while not all Muslim women get physically abused, ALL Muslim women are ordered to obey their husbands. The fact that a Muslim husband might not abuse his wife does NOT free that wife from abuse. Compelling her, as Islam does, to *always* obey her husband (regardless of whether or not he would beat her if she doesn’t) makes him free and inculpable in relation to her and her bonded and culpable in relation to him. If they happen to love each other, their love serves only to cover this essentially master-and-slave relationship. There is no such thing as a civilised Muslim marriage. A Muslim marriage, by definition, is abuse.

      Marriage to an American feminist, by definition, is abuse.

    I think modern women have made it quite clear that they have no intention of serving, obeying or honoring their husband as the Bible commands. Islam is the devils religion and does not adhere to the Bible, thus it is irrelevant.
    The law no longer supports the man in marriage and so a mans best bet is to make sure that he does not get involved with a woman until after the government collapses and righteousness is restored. Feminism is accelerating that collapse rapidly.

    • Westman says

      Oct 11, 2019 at 3:48 pm

      Hmm. I see men and women as equal partners in a marriage. It’s not possible for one gender to possess all the wisdom.

      • Jay says

        Oct 11, 2019 at 6:12 pm

        I feel sure that yo do see men and women as equal partners Westman. That is technically called feminism. It is responsible for the majority of divorces and homeless children in America and the murder of 80 million babies in the U.S. alone. It is responsible for the breakup of family and traditional values which held America together.

    Why is Islam about VIOLENCE and SUBJUGATION? Oh, that’s right Islam means submission.

    Oct 11, 2019 at 4:35 pm

    Of course, there’s nothing to be found in the Qu’ran concerning women beating their disobedient husbands! This BS masquerades as a world religion? Give me a f****** break.

    • Jay says

      Oct 13, 2019 at 10:37 am

      Women already beat their husbands, verbally and physically. Then when men have had enough and retaliate it’s the man who goes to jail. It should be the women going to jail.

    And on what is this Mulllim cult based? A Muslim follows their Holy Book the Koran.
    A non human, invisible, silent deity ‘instructs’ a non-human, invisible messenger Jibriel, (Gabriel) in 6000+ verses, mostly of self praise and threats to followers and non followers. (How)? Jibriel then teaches these 6000+ verses to an illiterate, (How)? He learns them perfectly. Decades later scribes write up these verses with no errors from the deities 1st ‘transmission’. (How did the scribes know exactly what the deity 1st ‘transmitted’)? Later the illiterate gets elevated to Prophet.. One scholar suggested that the scribes may have changed some/(most) of the verses to better control the people of that time. Mullahs may interpret these phrases as they wish.

    Mohamed was a True Prophet in the ancient Nokodemion line. His advanced spirit form was purposefully in-carnated to pass on The Laws of The Creation, hardly any of which are in the Koran. Much the same happened to Jmmanuel, who had his name changed to JC in 159AD to start another control cult.

    The man is alleged to have advised followers to beat their wives if they disobey them.

    Isn’t all islamic clergy guilty of that? Don’t they read verses of the quran during their sermons? They’re bound to read 4:34 eventually, and I certainly don’t believe they read it and add “now, I know the quran is the eternal, unchanging word of allah valid for all times, but this one bit here is clearly wrong”…
