No. Money isn’t the reason. Imagine a woman with two husbands she is trying to satisfy sexually? What about if she has children, how will she know who is the father?
As for the paternity, fair enough. Sexually, I am not sure. One woman could keep multiple men happy.

WHat if a man with two wives wanted to fool around with both of them at the same time/
The answer to this isn’t clear to me–forgive me if I abstain.
Fair enough. It is common that a woman in SA needs her male relative’s permission to travel to Mecca, for example, right?
She could be, yes. And I think many men rely on their wives to make financial decisions, especially if they are better at dealing with money. A man’s money, which he earns, belongs to the family. It doesn’t belong to him. So a woman could manage it. The money which a woman makes, though, is hers alone.
So her money is her money and he, and the family, are not entitled to it? Even in a divorce?
 
Oh really? Muslims don’t enslave women–that’s not part of the world today, so not something Islam has to deal with. Kidnapping isn’t allowed, forcing marriages aren’t allowed, and children aren’t supposed to be enslaved either. SO pretty much all of that is against Islam. Defending the indefensible? I won’t defend any of it. Will you defend Catholic priests who abuse little boys!? Or will you say it’s wrong, and not part of the religion? Just like I’m saying!
I am going to have to throw a flag on this one. According to all of the Human rights groups, Muslim nations are the largest contributers to the slave trade that exists. WOmen and Children are enslaved in Muslim Africa daily. Even the UN says that. They are not the driving force behind white slavery (sex trade slavery), which is more dominated by Russia

That may not be part of Muslim teaching, but it occures.
 
islam permits men to beat their wife/wives.its truely the greatest honor for women.🤷.salute for islam.:bowdown2: 😃
 
That’s entirely a matter of opinion.

Once again, you’re simply proving your own disrespect towards the dignity of women!

A man who is unjust to his wives is promised a specific punishment in the Hereafter–that makes it a MAJOR SIN.

You’re just proving Islam to me–that Islam is necessary to keep men like yourself from usurping the rights and dignity of women, and treating them like sex objects.
I still want to know the Truth, about Islam as well as other things.

I don’t think backing someone into a corner (S.AMY) is right either.

What I understand of what she says I don’t see, at least most of it.

But still, maybe cool down a bit. I will say one thing. At least seems to try to defend her faith.

I don’t believe charity = sugar coating, but it doesn’t mean attacking a person either.

Please bear in mind the difference between the believer and the belief.
 
So do Muslims. Only Muslims are ALLOWED to by their religion, and Catholics aren’t.

Oh really? Muslims don’t enslave women–that’s not part of the world today, so not something Islam has to deal with. Kidnapping isn’t allowed, forcing marriages aren’t allowed, and children aren’t supposed to be enslaved either. SO pretty much all of that is against Islam. Defending the indefensible?

If there is no civil contract, is it really against the law?
I think that you have not done your homework as to what islam does, doesn’t do and sanctions. It certainly does enslave women and children.

answering-islam.org/Silas/slavery.htm

And the case of the saudi couple bringing their slave with them in Denver.

And mohammed himself enslaved - and did other disgusting things .

Kidnapping, forced marriages, etc are indeed allowed and being practiced in muslim countries - and the number of kidnappings of infidels and being forced to marry muslims is on the rise in Europe, and occurs in India, Africa, Southeast Europe - basically anywhere there are muslims around. jihadwatch.org has quite a number of stories of them.

Maybe that is why muslim women wear scarves and tents - so they can hide in and deny what happens in islam.

Oh, it is part of islam’s teaching and mohammed himself told his fellow muslims who were afraid to ejaculate into them for fear of impregnating them told them not to waste their sperm and basically told them to impregnant them.

Oh, and here is the verse stating what mohammed thought of women:

The Prophet Mohammad said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” The women replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is due to the deficiency in her intelligence.”

-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 301:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

It seems you have NOT read the koran or hadiths and are only taking the world of the muslims for this who are told they can lie to us if they feel threatened, or to smooth over islam. koran surahs: 2:225,3:28 and 16:106.

Rather than regarding women as human beings equal to men, 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 (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will” (2:223).

The Qur’an also 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 ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her” (2:282).

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

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

Worst of all, the Qur?an tells husbands to beat their disobedient wives: “Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them” (4:34).

It allows for marriage to pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures ?shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated? (65:4).

None of that is cultural. Nor is reporting on it, or on how women still suffer from these and other Islamic teachings, a matter of “ignorance.” In fact, paradoxically enough, it is sister amy and others like her who are spreading genuine ignorance by ignoring, denying, and downplaying all this. And indeed, ignorance allows you to retain power – in light of that precise and apposite statement, it is important to ask: to what end is sister amy retailing these half-truths and distortions? What power are people who do this trying to retain? (I can answer that - sister amy made no disagreement with my assertion of their stated goal of islamicizing us by 2050 - but did have problems with the fact I might have said that she couldn’t pursue an education with kids)

Read the article by Silas about mohammed and his ideas of getting slave women pregnant.
 
denials, denials ehehehe. 😃

you need a wakeup call: you should migrate to the middle east.

Are you saying that a man’s natural desire to have multiple sex partners is a sign of disrespect for the dignity of women? Because that is all i’m trying to tell you.

so says all religion.

i think you are making that one up. right? :rolleyes:

HARHAHARHARHAR! LOL! 😃

Believe it or not, in my marriage, i am the sex object and my wife is the success object. funny how that works out ehehehe! 😃

and i dont mind it at all!

hey my wife is drop-dead gorgeous. its just that she is a lot more interested in sex than i am. 😃
Some may think from my posts that I hate Islam. I hate most of what I believe to be true about Islam, I may be wrong. Please rationally prove this if so.

Please make the distinction between the religion and the culture. Maybe they are the same in this case, I dunno. To prove this we would have to clarify at least one thing in this case. What is Islam.

I’ve been to the middle east and the horrible things you say are just a drop in the bucket.

However, is this Islam, (please don’t ‘just say no’ and leave it at that. Prove it, or find someone who can) and do these places have a monopoly on horror? Is just a little horror and sin okay?

Do we have horrors here?

I’m not trying to run interferences for anyone. I don’t think it is fair or rational to ‘shotgun’ a complex issue.

If, and this is a huge if for me, if Islam is not the source of these horrible things, then we are being unjust.

If it is, we need to mount up and move out.

But we have to be certain lest we become worse ‘monsters’ than the people we accuse.

If it is a reasonable, sincere, peace seeking and loving faith, then we would lose twice.

Hope it is, sorry to say I don’t believe so.

Please don’t paint all with the same brush.

Crayons and finger paints time. It is not uncommon to see dudes having sex w/donkeys over there. I asked a Muslim how this is reconciled w/the faith.

To sum up, he said dogs and pigs are a no go in Islam, but Allah never mentioned donkeys.

Everyone has deviants. Is it fair to blame an entire belief on a bit of faulty logic?

If you are going to oppose something, then oppose that thing, not what you believe that thing is.

If you have to make a Judgment call, sure. Make an educated guess.

Sorry for the rant, but this seems to be as much of a smoke screen as the ones put out by the Muslims themselves. Maybe it is some vast commo lock, some cultural hardware conflict. Seems like perpetual dodginess to me though.

Please, prove me wrong.

Sorry for the rant, but how about some truth?
 
On a different note,

The most loyal and monogamous people in earth are the Muslims, we do not date or screw around and we tend to be loyal to our spouses regardless due to our religious beliefs.

Polygamy is not even widely practiced.

Compare this to the multiple partner dating/sex scene amongst most christian populations and the usual routine of dating, have sex, becoming boyfriend/girl friend for a little while.
.
.
.
Breaking Up
.
.
.
.
Then starting all over with someone else, is appalling and morally disgrace full.

Most westerners/christians are not pure/virgins at the point of marriage and have multiple sexual partners as well as abortions etc

Morally we aren’t even in the same ball park, you aren’t a patch on us.
You need to slow your roll there chief. All Muslims?

I know, for a fact, from first hand graphic, horrid experience that Muslims are just as jacked up as the rest of us. In some cases, maybe worse.

How about the truth, whatever or whoever that may be.
 
A woman is not half of a man in Islam, please stop repeating it–you can’t make it true by doing so, and it only demonstrates your inability to progress in understanding.

I certainly have a choice about my husband–to marry him or not.

In many ways a woman’s attributes exceed a man’s, and in some the reverse. Spiritually both are equal.
We are all guilty of not heeding our own council.
 
The suckling is only valid if it happens >5 times, while the child is UNDER THE AGE OF 2! This has been the position in Islam. What the sheikh suggested is not allowed in Islam.
pssst - this is what a ‘prophet’ of a ‘religion’ told his followers - his ‘honored’ followers - to do, besides all the other dispicable things.
 
You might be right - they are more like 1/4 that of a man since a man can have 4 wives and a woman only one.

Even Aisha, Muhammad’s beloved child bride, once complained to him: “I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women” (Bukhari 7.72.715).

From Aayan Hirsi Ali, “Muslim religion is many things but it’s certainly not friendly to women,” she said at the European Parliament, warning the West that it "shouldn’t indulge in and buy fallacies from Muslims.

Hirsi Ali said violence is the most important obstacle to liberating women and must be eradicated through policies such as positive discrimination and education campaigns.

She also warned domestic violence is on the rise in Europe and proposed setting up a European court and an attorney general to deal with domestic violence cases.

(and while sister amy keeps defending the indefensible - she offers nothing to help other women who suffer under islam in countries under sharia law - where she stated that she wants to move to :D), Hirsi Ali has this to say:

“Women conceive and give birth to sons, but they don’t commit them to the noble cause of defending gender equality,” she told a seminar on combating violence against women. “The problem is the inability of women to draw up a plan on how to help women.”

some things from the koran:
Muhammad refers to it in a hadith that suggests that while men and women may have the same “innate character,” that doesn’t mean they are equal in dignity, for women are…crooked: “Woman has been created from a rib and will in no way be straightened for you; so if you wish to benefit by her, benefit by her while crookedness remains in her. And if you attempt to straighten her, you will break her, and breaking her is divorcing her.”

Ibn Kathir says this the requirement to deal justly with one’s wives is no big deal, since treating them justly isn’t the same as treating them equally: “it is not obligatory to treat them equally, rather it is recommended. So if one does so, that is good, and if not, there is no harm on him.”

Verses 15-16 lay down penalties for sexual immorality. V. 15 prescribes home imprisonment until death (unless “Allah ordain for them some (other) way”) for women found guilty of “lewdness” on the testimony of four witnesses. According to Islamic law, these four witnesses must be male Muslims; women’s testimony is inadmissible in cases of a sexual nature, even in rape cases in which she is the victim. If a woman is found guilty of adultery, she is to be stoned to death; if she is found guilty of fornication, she gets 100 lashes (cf. Qur’an 24:2). The penalty of stoning does not appear in the Qur’an, but Umar, one of Muhammad’s early companions and the second caliph, or successor of Muhammad as leader of the Muslims, said that it was nevertheless the will of Allah: “I am afraid,” he said, “that after a long time has passed, people may say, ‘We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book,’ and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed.” Umar affirmed: “Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession.” And he added that Muhammad “carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him.”

I could go on, but it is just more of the same - denials from muslim women and the facts of what is true.
Without a proper, valid authority, this is the best you are going to get. Flapping in the breeze, having to form your own conclusions, then have people get upset at you and either being unwilling or unable to explain how you have ‘wronged’ them.

If you don’t like it, do something about it besides saying ‘no thats wrong!’ or “I’ll kill you for accusing Islam of violence!”

Find someone who can if nothing else. The best, most rational beliefs and arguements I’ve seen are from terrorists.

However, bad start, bad end.

Go read the koran and hadiths yourself. I have posted many references to show how islam is not good for women. The only way for you to answer your question if you are not reading those posts, along with examples of what mohammed did and sanctioned, is to read it for yourself.

Is it long, kludgy and boring - yes. But, the only way to know is to crack the koran and hadiths and read them for yourself.

Here is a good website:
cspipublishing.com/
This includes the sira which is the life of mohammed.

or www.faithfreedom.org, and there is a blogging of the koran going on in jihadwatch

jihadwatch.org/articles/bloggingtheq.php

You can read Mr. Spencer’s writeup and follow along in the koran. muslims will denigrate Mr. Spencer - but it is just an indication that he hits the ‘nail on the head’ and muslims don’t like that. You will find out that muslims don’t like infidels knowing their ‘religion’, prophet, or their history.
 
Shows what you know. They WANT teachers to teach in English!!

Glad you think so.

No they’re not. Only forced to partially support them.

Well I said accusing chaste women and you asked for that hadith. So that’s the hadith I gave you. You should’ve said you wanted the hadith about a deformity for marital injustice. 😛

Here it is: It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has two wives and leans towards (i.e. favours) one of them (over the "other), will come on the Day of Resurrection with half of his body leaning.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2/242; al-Tirmidhi, 3/447; al-Nasaa’i, 7/64; Ibn Maajah, 1/633; classed as saheeh by al-Haafiz in Buloogh al-Maraam, 3/310, and al-Albaani in Irwaa’ al-Ghaleel, 7/80).

Also “Ibn Qudaamah al-Maqdisi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: We know of no dispute among the scholars concerning the fact that it is obligatory to treat co-wives equally when sharing one’s time between them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “and live with them honourably” [al-Nisaa’ 4:19], but favouring one of them is not honourable.”

Quote:
In the west men are forced to fully support their premarital children.

No they’re not. Only forced to partially support them.

But you asserted that we should take your word because you are a Muslim woman among same.

How is this any different?

I’m tracking. Already done. Years ago.

So, can I do this with the Bible too?

You get what I’m saying?

Oh come on - I have posted so much proof that you can go back and look for yourself. Proof that islam does not honor women. Proof that islam is not a religion of peace. Proof that islam is a political movement (that could be on different threads - but all you have to do is crack open a koran, and hadiths, for yourself.

Proof that islam enslaves - to this day - women and children. and what they do to those slaves is heart wrenching while muslim women are in utter denial about this. And proof that mohammed is not a very nice guy.

If you need all those proofs - just send me a personal note and I can provide them to you separately. And the proof abounds on a daily basis. the one who has no proof that she even did her homework before she joined islam is sister amy. I feel sorry for her, but what can one do when she doesn’t even listen to her own family.

Nope - I have no idea what you are getting at. Unless you are trying to make some moral equivalent between them both. One big difference is that the events that talk about slavery and stoning were never told to us to practice and we do not. Christ stopped a stoning, and mohammed and his followers sanction them.

A good book to read if you think islam and Christianity (or even Judaism - or any religion) is equivalent to islam - ‘Religion of Peace? Why Christianity is and islam isn’t’ by Mr. Spencer.

No, I don’t think this at all. Look, even though I do not believe there is any comparison in reality, I am willing (less and less) to make allowances that someone may have to be very well versed in this subject to avoid confusion, provide context i.e. a true professional.

Not to negate what I just said, but as an illustration. Christ is translated as ‘telling us’ to hate our father and mother.

I very much doubt this to be the case. I believe our Muslim friend to be sincere, and sincerely wrong. I also believe her to be living in
a dream. I’ve been where she plans to be.

However, in making allowances for my innumerable failings, and possibly to get her to think (for she is wrong at least in part as well) perhaps one or both of us + will come out the wiser.

If you keep asking the hard questions, they will crack something eventually, maybe me, her or both.

Authority, authority, authority. If it is the Quran/hadiths (and I know for a fact there are different versions, and some hadiths are accepted, some are not. People die over there over these things. )
alone (‘sola surah’?) then unless I somehow am able to learn to read Arabic above a 10th grade level, (why, I could study my own faith) or I find someone who will present a competent apologetic,
I must rely on the translations.

Furthermore, if Islam is being represent, has been indeed ‘hijacked’ by terrorist, then step up and show us how. Speak up, or don’t be pissed if we read your books and go, 'Wow, these people are obligated to spread this by any means and this doesn’t sound like the Lord I know.

I am an uneducated (trying) unlettered man trying to come to terms with something for very practical, and hopefully just reasons.

If something can be made into anything then it is worse than nothing.

If you don’t take a position ‘I believe…’ then you can’t be knocked off of it.

Tired. Sorry if you don’t copy. Maybe I’m just not that bright.

Sister<<<<<<rude awakening
You are very bright - never think otherwise. Anyway, the thing with having to know Arab is just a way to deflect that muslims themselves have translated the koran into different languages. It is also a way to deflect to the fact that many of their own don’t know the koran and what mohammed is all about because most muslims themselves don’t know Arabic.

The masses are brainwashed - and they are now infiltrating our schools - the ‘pray like a muslim’ hoopla in Texas (and also in California and elsewhere), or the MSA in our Universities (a whole series of articles on frontpagemag.com) tells us that we need to get that crud out of our schools or else we will go the way like Lebanon is going - a violent pig sty where Christians flee or live in bomb shelters. WHat helped them get there were their own appeasers - and also that is how Europe and so many other countries have gone - with the help of their own.

It doesn’t take a scholar to be able to translate the verses I posted.

and what I find is that just reading, keeping abreast of current news, is sufficient to realize what islam is all about. Now to get our young to do that before converting - to do their homework. to ask why did muslims dance and ulalate after so many died after 9/11 even if they don’t want to read the past and current violent history of islam around this globe. I would say that some are being swayed also by the fairy tales the movies and channels such as the History Channel, etc are saying about islam or its prophet. I have watched some of their specials and almost gagged. I emailed the station - and it is to no avail - they are being bought and sold by the saudis/CAIR.

If they did say something about islam or mohammed that was the truth - the death threats would abound - if not actually succeeding in carrying them out as with what happened to Theo Van Gogh. And what is happening to Geert Wilders and also Aayan Hirsi Ali, or even Mr. Rushdie. It would be better to say nothing than to spread the fairy tales that they do.

Anyway, I enjoy posting with you and you keep me thinking and digging into islam even further so that is a good thing.
