There is, of course, domestic violence in all cultures. So to post this is just “Islamophobic,” right? Wrong: there is domestic violence in all cultures, but only in one does it have divine sanction. Islam doesn’t teach that man may kill his wife, but once you’ve allowed him to beat her, accidents will happen.
The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “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’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that 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?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127
An another hadith states: “Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s Messenger came, Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!’” — Sahih Bukhari 7.77.5825
Also, contrary to the assumption of many pro-life Christians, Islam is not against abortion.
“Lebanese woman set on fire by husband in row over unwanted pregnancy dies in hospital,” by Bassam Zaazaa, Arab News, August 17, 2022:
DUBAI: A pregnant Lebanese woman who was badly beaten and set on fire by her husband because she would not have an abortion died in hospital on Wednesday.
Hana Mohammed Khodor, 21, lost her fight for life at Al-Salam Hospital in northern Lebanon where she had been for the past 11 days.
A doctor from the hospital said on Tuesday that Khodor was admitted on Aug. 6 and had been receiving treatment for burns to her entire body….
According to local media reports, Khodor’s husband, identified only by the initials A. A., beat his wife because she refused to abort their unborn child.
He was reported to have said the couple — who came from a poor background in the northern city of Tripoli — could not afford to raise it.
Speaking to Al-Jadeed TV on Tuesday, Khodor’s aunt said: “When she refused to abort the baby, he took her home and set her on fire using the gas cylinder.”…

Such a nice guy….letting us all know just how much mozlums are against murder of unborn children.
mozlums seem unable to value life…of the unborn, of the women they marry, of the children they allow to be born, little kids armed with rocks or suicide packs, the daughters who won’t dress as they demand them to, the daughters who have infidel boyfriends or any time they don’t want to be sold to some nasty old, filthy old, creep who will rape and beat them and perhaps someday, murder them and their children.
this murdering thug should be hung high as an example of what can happen to those who murder unborn children and their mothers.

Good point, Somehistory. Too many mistakenly believe that Islam is pro-life–nothing could be further from the truth.

Lebanon: Muslim husband sets his wife on fire because she disobeyed him
……………………………………..
This *poor woman*. God, I hate Islam.
Walter Sieruk says
This in not an isolated incident when a Muslim husband or father viciously harms or murders his wife or daughter because he disobeyed him. The malicious evil had been explained by the scholar of Islam,
Brigitte Gabriel, who in her book entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED in which on page 171 she informs the reader that “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic ideology.
Further , on the very next page it also reads “Women in Islam are considered unclean , deemed inferior even to dirt.”
