There is 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
“Young woman hit by her ex in Blois: her mother ‘begged’ the police to take her daughter’s complaint,” translated from “Jeune femme frappée par son ex à Blois : sa mère aurait ‘supplié’ les policiers de prendre la plainte de sa fille,” by Maurine Bajac, TF1 Info, December 20, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):
On Tuesday, December 12 around 5 p.m., a young woman aged 24 went to the Blois police station to file a complaint against her ex.
The police told him to come back the next day.
She did not have time: two hours later, she was lynched by her ex-boyfriend and found unconscious by the emergency services.
The IGPN will have to shed light on this affair. Last Tuesday, a 24-year-old woman was beaten by her ex-boyfriend before being found unconscious in the lobby of her apartment building. Two hours earlier, however, this same young woman had gone to the Blois police station to file a complaint against her former companion. This was not recorded because the police asked the young woman to come back the next day to do this. She didn’t have time.
Since then, the victim named Chloé has been on a hospital bed, plunged into a coma from which we do not know if she will recover. His alleged attacker was arrested, heard and remanded in custody. The latter admitted the beating of the victim, but denied having had any intention of killing her.
A relative assures that he hit Chloé from the start
This Tuesday, we were able to reach a relative of the victim. “The day Chloé went to file a complaint, she was on the phone with her mom. She told her everything,” he says. “Her mother encouraged her to file a complaint and kept her on the phone, thus listening to the conversation. The policeman refused to take her complaint, explaining that Chloe had not filed a complaint and that it was no longer possible at this time to do so.”“Chloe passed her phone to the policeman, on the other end her mother begged him to take her complaint. But he refused. She assured him that her attacker was waiting outside her daughter’s house, but the policeman refused to put in place any protection,” continues this relative, according to whom the young woman suffered blows “from the first weeks of their meeting.”

Still according to this relative, it was in August that Chloé had met her companion, “of the Muslim faith,” he specifies. “He very quickly asked Chloé to convert. (…) She withdrew into herself and did not talk to her family about her problems,” he says.The Blois prosecutor’s office has opened a judicial investigation on the count of “attempted murder by a person who was the victim’s partner,” this criminal qualification being likely to change.
Mark Spahn says
” … Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. …” (Quran 4:34)
What does this even mean? In what way has Allah guarded the unseen parts of good women? By hiding their spleens, duodena and other unseen parts under a covering of skin? Doesn’t He do that for men too, even bad men?

Yeah, it is meaningless drivel alright, Mark. Typical of the load of crap, so full of toxic, hate filled material, that the Koran is.
TyAlder says
Yes indeed, the whole of the Koran is meaningless drivel.
tim gallagher says
islam creates a neverending supply of violent, vicious men because of its entire attitude to girls and women, with men being supposedly so superior to the female sex, who are worth only half what a man is, according to the knuckle draggers who devised islam. Behaviour like the behaviour reported here come straight out of islam’s misogynistic outlook on human relationships.
bill carr says
In France it seems there are times to record complaints. Complaints of this nature given the history of Muslim behaviour towardswomen , which the police should know full well, should be taken immediately and actions put in place asap. I hope the policeman concerned will be investigated though I doubt it. He is directly responsible for the condition of the woman.
