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

Pakistan: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker says “Islam gives unmatched respect, rights and status to women”

Mar 11, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why, of course. The Qur’an likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used by a man as he wills: “Your women are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth as you will” — Qur’an 2:223

It declares that a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man: “Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as you choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her” — Qur’an 2:282

It allows men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with slave girls also: “If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly, then only one, or one that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice” — Qur’an 4:3

It rules that a son’s inheritance should be twice the size of that of a daughter: “Allah directs you as regards your children’s inheritance: to the male, a portion equal to that of two females” — Qur’an 4:11

It allows for marriage to pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures “shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated” — Qur’an 65:4

Also, a Muslim wife may not refuse sex. 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).

And: “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).

“Islam gives unprecedented respect, rights to females: KP speaker,” Pakistan Today, March 10, 2020:

PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani Tuesday said, “Our religion Islam gives unmatched respect, rights and status to women, but a handful of people are trying to create discrimination and hate between male and female through negative propaganda”.

Addressing as a chief guest during a function held here in connection with International Women Day at Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University, he said that being Muslim “we observe women day every day as we give respect to female as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, adding that life is incomplete without these precious relations”.

He said in our society a female is a doctor, police officer, nurse, educationist, lawyer, legislator and even in every sector she is playing her important role in every field of life, adding that Fatima Jinnah, Shaheed Benazir, Bhutto, Malala Yousafzai, Mariam Shaheed, Sameena Baig, Bilqis Begum, Arifa Karim, Tahira Qazi Shaheed were some of the Pakistani females who earned good name for the motherland and were well known and respected.

Mushtaq Ghani said that there was no bar on females in the society and they were free to participate in any field of life….

          They have a right to be punched and whipped.

          – “I have not seen any women suffering as much as the believing women.” – Child-bride Aisha lamenting a Muslim wife whose skin was green from beatings (Sahih al Bukhari 5825)
          – “Hang up your scourge where your wife can see it.” – from Kash-shaf (the revealer) of al-Zamkhshari (Vol. 1, p. 525)

      The most hilarious demonstration video I have seen is of a bunch of Muslims with banners declaring they will rule with Sharia, signs of “Burn In Hell, and the usual crap, and the Kufar crowd starts yelling back in unison, “Where are the women?”, and then start singing, Always Look On the Bright Side Of Life.

        That was a meeting of atheists. “Always Look On the Bright Side Of Life” is for some the atheist national anthem.

    The sad thing is, this guy is so deceived and blind that he really believes this.

    • mortimer says

      Mar 12, 2020 at 12:14 pm

      Jim, I doubt a man in his position could be that deluded. He is making a fake claim for political reasons. Muslims often claim that Mohammed ‘improved’ women’s rights … the Sira shows that women’s rights were REDUCED by Mohammed in Arabia.

  5. OTTER says

    Mar 11, 2020 at 4:58 pm

    Why did a woman not make this absurd claim? (Believe it or not, there are some Muslim women who will!)

    • mortimer says

      Mar 12, 2020 at 12:16 pm

      Muslims twist themselves in knots to deny reality. They live in constant cognitive dissonance.

  6. Tricia Stuercke says

    Mar 11, 2020 at 5:32 pm

    Hmmm… Islam’s “Holy Writings” in the Qur’an, Hadith Teachings & Sharia Law clearly Allow, Encourage, & Reward the practice of “Taqiyya”, Deception & Outright LIES in furtherance of Islam, & achievement of Muslim Interests… How “coincidental” that the Judeo-Christian Nemesis, SATAN, who’s purpose is to Destroy those of Good Will who are sincerely trying to live as Jesus Christ modeled & taught, is himself also known as “The LIAR” & “The DECEIVER”.
    Rather thought-provoking…

    It is such an upside down world you get from Islam. Black is white, white is black. Islam is certainly “unmatched” by any other still existing religion or ideology in how appallingly it treats women. Islam’s level of misogyny is the only aspect of that vile ideology that is “unmatched”. They treat women like garbage and then some lying Muslim bullshit artist blabs on about women having “unmatched” rights and status. Everything these Muslim spokesmen say, you can be sure that the opposite is the truth. As DHazard says, up above, women’s rights, etc, are “unmatched” in their absence, which is certainly true.

      Mar 11, 2020 at 6:24 pm

      tim gallagher says,

      “Everything these Muslim spokesmen say, you can be sure that the opposite is the truth.”

      100% spot on, tim.

      • tim gallagher says

        Mar 11, 2020 at 11:13 pm

        Yes, James, it is definitely my attitude to Muslims. They are lying to all of us non-Muslims all the time, so, whatever they say, I believe the opposite of that will be where the truth lies.

        • mortimer says

          Mar 12, 2020 at 12:14 am

          Islam agrees with Tim: There are SIX DIFFERENT WAYS of deception that are permissible in Islam:
          1•Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
          2•Kitman: deceit by omission.
          3•Tawriya: deceit by deliberate ambiguity.
          4•Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not observing all the tenets of Sharia by ‘making things easier’). Taysir means “ease” or “facilitation”.
          5•Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden such as drinking alcohol to exploit non-Muslims).
          6•Muruna: ‘flexibility’ or temporary suspension of Sharia to make Muslim migrants appear ‘moderate’ and blend in until Muslims are numerically strong enough to enforce Sharia.
          Muslims imitate Allah ‘THE BEST OF DECEIVERS’.

          Thanks for the information, Mortimer. Islam always seems to me to have no high ideals for its adherents to aim for(in any area of human behaviour) and this lying and deceiving people is just typical. I always tend to compare Islam’s lack of high ideals with Christianity, which certainly has high ideals for people to aim at. Christianity would tell its adherents to tell the truth and to have integrity, which, no doubt, as a pretty flawed Christian myself, we don’t always live up to. Islam just seems to me to have an evil and immoral attitude to all areas of life and seems perfect for people who want to wallow in evil. As you say, Islam’s vision of god is as “the best of deceivers”, so what could you expect. Such a nasty, evil version of what god is like.

        • mortimer says

          Mar 12, 2020 at 12:09 pm

          Response to tim re ‘no ideals’.

          In fact, Islam has no coherent intellectual basis for its concepts of ‘truth’ or ‘morality’. Islam is dualistic and contradicts the logical Law of Non-Contradiction. ‘True’ is what Allah says in the Koran. Apart from objective, empirical, science-based facts (such as the round earth revolving around the sun, the Koran says the sun travels around the flat earth followed by the moon. Muslims cannot explain why Allah gets this wrong, so they ignore it.

          In the moral realm, Islam is also dualistic: an action is ‘permitted’ (halal) or ‘forbidden’ (haram). There is no hint of whether an act is ‘ethical’. Allah frequently contradicts himself, makes exceptions to his rules and then completely contradicts them and throws the rule out. Islamic ethics are thus chaotic. Islam has no objective ‘truth’ or objective ethics. Muslims have been discouraged from analyzing these matters since the 11th century, when al-Ghazali condemned all philosophy in his book “Incoherence of the Philosophers”, thus ending the so-called ‘Golden Age of Islam’ (it was actually a Golden Age of relative FREEDOM from Islam).

          Al-Ghazali put an end to independent freedom of thought in the Islamic world.

          Mortimer, thanks for the information. Your depth of knowledge about Islam astounds me and, I’m sure, many other commenters here at Jihad Watch. You are a scholar whose knowledge seems to be right up there with Robert Spencer’s. You must have done an extraordinary amount of study on Islam to be in command of such knowledge. My belief is that Muhammad was low life piece of garbage as a human being (though maybe he was typical of Arabs back in his time) and the foul concept of god that he made up was as evil as he was. Maybe god is a completely evil monster, like this version of god, allah, is, but if that were true, then I, and any decent human beings, would tell such a hideous god to go fuck itself. I believe God has to be decent enough to be worthy of being followed. I must say that I am amazed that there are so many Muslims who follow this warped version of what god is, but maybe it is fear (try to leave and they will kill you) that keeps the whole stinking Islamic set-up going. Also, evil scum would love Islam as it lets them indulge in all their evil desires and says that their foul god approves of their behaviour. As you mention, there is just the “halal” and “haram”, no ethical basis. A truly disgusting and irrational religious ideology.

          Absolutely, tim.

          mortimer’s knowledge of islam is encyclopedic…

        • tim gallagher says

          Mar 13, 2020 at 4:47 am

          Encyclopedic is a very good way to describe Mortimer’s extraordinary knowledge of Islam, James. He has such an unbelievably detailed knowledge of all the ins and outs of Islam, this disgusting and barbaric religious ideology, which is such a danger all of us non-Muslims.

    Pakistan: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker says “Islam gives unmatched respect, rights and status to women”
    …………………

    Well, yeah–in fact, women are *more* likely to be “Honor Killed’ or stoned to death than men!

    More:

    He said in our society a female is a doctor, police officer, nurse, educationist, lawyer, legislator and even in every sector she is playing her important role in every field of life, adding that Fatima Jinnah, Shaheed Benazir, Bhutto, Malala Yousafzai, Mariam Shaheed, Sameena Baig, Bilqis Begum, Arifa Karim, Tahira Qazi Shaheed were some of the Pakistani females who earned good name for the motherland and were well known and respected.
    …………………

    Does it matter that Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, and that was in large part because she was a female leader? Does it matter that Malala Yousafzai is famous for having survived being shot in the head for daring to say girls should be allowed an education, and that she has had to flee the Muslim world? Tahira Qazi was not as lucky as Malala–she was murdered by the Taliban for daring to teach at a girl’s school in Peshawar.

    Many of the others on this list only achieved prominence outside of Pakistan, in the Infidel world,

    Far from proving how Islam respects women, it rather proves the opposite.

    • Wellington says

      Mar 11, 2020 at 11:52 pm

      Agreed, gravenimage. With respect such as Islam extends to females, who needs disrespect. Islamic respect for women is a cruel joke.

    The diference between jews and muslims is in the family unit . Jewish woman are strong and well spoken and manifest themselves a lot .
    Muslum women on the other hand are hidden and silent . Effectively Muslim families are dysfunctional families even to the point of being broken homes effectively. This shows up in the extreme when jews and muslims go to war . The jews are a like a scythe through grass . It also shows up in achievement. Jews are probably the highest achievers in the world and muslums are probably among the lowest achievers .
