This is so misleading. Women can be ‘honor killed’ because in sharia laws there is no protection for her. She can be beaten because the koran sanctions it. She can be divorced easily by the man just saying ‘I divorce you’ three times. She cannot do anything without the consent of her husband and that means she has to get permission for any minute thing. There is no such thing as ‘safe houses’ under Islam because she is property of the men of her household - even her son(s).
If a man rapes her, or she looks at a man wrong (basically if she has an overly jealous husband, she can be killed. In the case of a rape, she has to have 4 witnesses to it or she is treated as if she is the perpetrator of the crime.
If she is a child she can be married off and is to be sexually abused at an early age. Basically pediphilia is sanctioned because Muhammed did it.
Nonie Darwish tries to tell people in her book, Now They Call Me Infidel, about the harm of polygamy. The jealousy between wives, the effects of it on the children including the sons. And too often we are seeing in our countries that they are nothing but welfare moms because the man cannot possibly support all their wives. We saw that example a couple of years ago when in NYC a house burned down with a lot of women and children in it. It was a polygamous situation. Unlawful here in the states, but some don’t care and do it anyway.
This is part of what they call dualism in Islam. The koran has both of these definitions of Jihad in it - the violence against the unbeliever being sanctioned as holy, and also it being defined as an ‘inner struggle’. Muslims use whichever definition suits their needs in this dualistic religion.
And here are some things about Jihad you won’t hear when they are trying to ‘hook you’: jihad is taught as violent 97% of the time in islamic textss, while that ‘inner struggle’ is only 3% of jihad.
Islam is strange because not only what I stated above, but some things that you won’t hear from Muslims are things like
deception being fully sanctioned in Islam.
- The parts of the Koran they tell you that is peaceful were abrogated, or replaced. This being a dualistic religion, like I stated above, they use whatever surah is best at the time. And since there is no order to the Koran it is hard to tell which is which (well, unless they are blatantly violent).
- sharia laws sanction slavery and pediphilia.
- Islam is just as much a religion as it is a political movement, and it exerts control even over you going to the bathroom, and some things you do in bed. (which Muhammed didn’t even obey - he laid down some rules and then promptly broke them) here is a good little writeup on that.
- killing, torturing, stealing from, and deceiving unbelievers is ok under sharia laws which muslims obey as much as they can even in countries that are not totally controlled by them - and they work to making them the laws of the land to replace ours
- all muslims must pay zakat (muslim charity) and that one of its targets are jihadists and their families who kill, torture, etc unbelievers.
- they don’t tell you that lands not under sharia laws are considered the realm of war (dar al harb) and they strive to get sharia laws in place. Since Jihad is neverending, they work towards that end no matter how long it takes.
Here is a book that was just put out that would help anyone understand what they are getting into with Islam. The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran
