Switzerland: Muslim migrant cleric guilty of domestic abuse forced to leave the country

Oct 17, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Imagine the embarrassment the Federal Court of Switzerland will feel when they discover that domestic abuse is sanctioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah:

“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)

“Non-integrated imam forced to leave Switzerland,” SwissInfo, October 15, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Switzerland’s top court has upheld a decision to not renew the residence permit of an imam from Kosovo guilty of domestic abuse.

The Federal Court on Tuesday upheld an earlier decision of the St Gallen court in eastern Switzerland where the man lives. The imam was found guilty of physically and sexually abusing his wife and did not let her venture out of the home without his consent.

The couple has been living apart since the woman took refuge in a women’s shelter with her four children in December 2015. Two years later, the cantonal migration office refused to extend the man’s residence permit. The Kosovar had arrived in Switzerland at the age of 26 and has lived in the country for almost ten years.

Standing before the Federal Court, the man invoked the protection of privacy, guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights. But the judges felt that his vision of women’s rights and duties was clearly contrary to the law and values of Switzerland.

In its judgement, the Federal Court wrote that various elements pointed to the fact that the imam had not assimilated Switzerland’s social and legal values and that he did not respect them. This was particularly true of the constitutional principle of equality between men and women, they said….

    Robert Spencer posed a jim-dandy question: “Imagine the embarrassment the Federal Court of Switzerland will feel when they discover that domestic abuse is sanctioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah’. ???

    What would Western Feminists think if they all read the following misogynistic statements by the FOUNDER OF ISLAM ???

    – I think that women were created for nothing but evil
    – Women have ten ‘awrat (vulvas). When she gets married, the husband covers one, and when she dies the grave covers the ten (of her shameful parts)
    – A straw mat in the corner of the house is preferable to a barren woman
    – Women are toys, so choose (your ‘toys’)
    – The woman is a toy, whoever takes her, let him care for her [or do not lose her]
    – Had it not been for women, God would have truly, truly been worshipped
    – Men perished the day they obeyed the women
    – Obedience to a woman’s advice causes regret
    – Consult women and act contrary (to it)
    – Sneezing, drowsing, yawning in prayer, also menstruation, vomiting and nose-bleeding are from Satan
    – When…your affairs are in the hands of your women, the interior of the earth (hell) will be the better for you than its surface
    – If a woman offered one of her breasts to be cooked and the other to be roasted, she still will fall short of fulfilling her obligations to her husband. And besides that if she disobeys her husband even for a twinkling of an eye, she would be thrown in the lowest part of Hell, except she repents and turns back
    – Mohammed asked some women, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?” The women said, “Yes,” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind.”
    – I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you (women)
    – I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women.
    – Bad omen is in the woman, the house and the horse
    – After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women
    – Don’t wear false hair for Allah sends His curse upon such ladies who lengthen their hair artificially
    – 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
    – “Women are like cows, horses, and camels, for all are ridden,” is in fact recorded in Tafsir al-Qurtubi (see vol. 17, p. 172)
    – If you relax the woman’s bridle a tiny bit, she will take you and bolt wildly. And if you lower her cheek-piece a hand span, she will pull you an arm’s length … Their deception is awesome and their wickedness is contagious; bad character and feeble mind are their predominant traits
    – “[A man’s wife] fears him, while he fears her not, a kind word from him satisfies her, where nothing of hers has importance in his eyes, it is she who must tolerate the presence of concubines, and it is she who worries when he is ill whereas even her death would leave him indifferent
    – If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning
    – Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals [awan] with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from God and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of God, so understand and listen to my words…
    – Muhammad’s last words on women during his farewell speech:
    – God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity. If they refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control of their persons. (Sirat Rasul Allah. Translated in English by A. Guillaume. First published by Oxford University Press, London in 1955)

    The words of Mohammed … the founder of the ‘most feminist religion’ (sarc/off)

      Hello Mortimer,

      Your list is a damning indictment but to be useful in discussions with people reluctant to admit the authenticity of each one, source references are needed. I assume, for example, that the quote of Sirat Rasul Allah refers to the last two statements (Muhammad’s last words …no control of their persons) and the quote in Tafsir al-Qurtubi refers to the single line beginning “Women are like cows…”, but can you give source references for the others, please?

    The Koran is supposed to complete the Bible which the Muslims claim is corrupted. How? Where do we find a religious message in the Koran?

    We only got a man’s perspective of the world in the Koran. We know that there is no intimacy in it neither with Allah nor with women. Paradise is a men’s place for sexual gratification. Is there any room for women in Paradise apart from being prostitutes and sex slaves?

      “The Koran is supposed to complete the Bible which the Muslims claim is corrupted.”

      The Bible was corrupted when Jesus rejected the temptations of the devil.

      8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

      10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’

        What on earth is that supposed to mean? Are you talking of the Biblical text?

          “What on earth is that supposed to mean?”

          What what are you referring to?

    Yes Switzerland, it is not the ideology, he is just a lone wolf with a personal relationship with domestic violence. One would think that the Swiss were smarter than the violence prone domestic abuse sanctioning muslims but I guess not. I can deal with the usual troubles of the world, it is the stupidity that is really irritating me.

    I didn’t know it was legal to not subjugate democratically-enacted legislation related to values of non-psychotic people to the hate-filled scribblings of some dark ages mental defect, but apparently in Switzerland it is! Are any of you other democracies watching?

    >Standing before the Federal Court, the man invoked the protection of privacy, guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights.

    Yeah, no, the right to privacy doesn’t mean you can break the law in the privacy of your own home.

    In its judgement, the Federal Court wrote that various elements pointed to the fact that the imam had not assimilated Switzerland’s social and legal values and that he did not respect them.

    Good – this should be a deportable offence…
