This documentary explores the situation of women in the Palestinian Territories, the abuses they suffer and the reasons why many of them are attached to Sharia law in the belief that Islamic law protects them.
For nearly 20 years, Pierre Rehov and his teams have explored the Middle East with the aim of revealing facts from the field that most media refuse to broadcast. The result has been the regular production of factual documentaries (long or short) some of which have been hugely successful in most Western countries.

Muslim women are asked to accept their temporal and eternal, inferior status in comparison to men. They are forced by constant threats to accept a life lived in fear of violence and even of sudden, brutal death.
Many verses about women in the Koran call for or permit abduction, rape and sexual abuse of women.
To accept Sharia law standards in women’s rights is to erode the universal codes of human rights in force today.

I enjoyed the film! I hate Sharia law! I don’t think that the woman who advocates for it knows what western freedom is like. If she were to experience it, she would not advocate for Sharia Law.

Could be. Of course, some Muslims do experience freedom, and just want to impose Shari’ah law.

Maybe it is necessary to restrain their Arab womenn forcefully. But not a proud woman of European descent. Since Tacitus’ times they have been known to be faithful. All people are not alike.

This has nothing to do with ethnicity, Chrissie. Muslims oppress all women.
john smith says
Not everything in Islam is bad, wife beating for example, I’m sure there a lot of men who could get into this, and it would certainly make their wives more obedient. There is so we can learn from Islam.

Pierre Rehov Video: Violence and Discrimination
……………………….
Islam is hideously violent and oppressive towards women.

What does a Muslim say to his wife with 2 black eyes?
Nothing. He told her twice already.
Christopher Watson says
Any ‘man’ who strikes a woman is not a man. He is an animal. He has lost any right to be considered a human. ‘It’ should be put into a zoo.
