# If you fall in love with the "wrong" person, with someone your family doesn't approve of, you are dead; # If you get raped, then you more likely to be punished than the rapists; # If you don't follow religious, tribal, and traditional code of conduct you will be killed; # If women loose their virginity – whatever the reason - they will be killed; # Women can not wear what they want, or have make-up; # Women cannot mix with men because they 'arouse' them; # Women are sexually objectified and are therefore considered filthy; # Women have to be covered at all times; # A women's body can only be seen by her husband because she is his property; # The wife must reserve herself exclusively for he... Despite the lending of itself to sweeping generalisations of a quasipolitical nature by some cognitively challenged commentators, this is not to do with religion but the appropriation of a concept under which to enact the universal barbarism of violent communal 'manhood' against women. this is not to do with religionMuslims, even those who despise this barbarism, would disagree. If you get raped, then you more likely to be punished than the rapists; Women cannot mix with men because they 'arouse' them;Lest the impression be left that such misogynistic attitudes/strictures be unique to Islam, let's remind ourselves what the Talmud has to say about sex and where the guilt lies. 'If a Jew has intercourse with a Gentile woman, be she three years and a day or a grown woman, single or married, even if the Jew is nine years and a day old, since he had intercourse with the Gentile woman deliberately, she is killed, for a Jew came to mishap because of her, as is the case with an animal' (Maimonides, Laws of Forbidden Sexual Relations 12:10). I think that all religions have their (possibly mainstream) following of literalist and patriarchal lawmakers and powerbrokers for whom the pervasiveness of love is anathema. It is undeniably the empirical truth that some, many, perhaps even most religious adherents, Muslim or otherwise, acting as spokesmen for the hierarchical materialist status structure of legalistic power enhanced by (utterly repugnant) claims to guardianship of religious revelation would disagree with me. Those that practice Christianity demand a woman be a virgin. I knew a young woman who at one time was engaged to a young man. They were engaged to be married, they had sex, she got pregnant. All this before they were married. He called the wedding off because she was a whore for doing all that without the benefits of marriage. She raised the child alone with no support from him because the child was a bastard and should not exist. And no it wasn't me. I'm not a fan of any religions. Wherever it has been instituted, Sharia law has resulted in a Right, all of this from a "journalist" who doesn't site any of his sources, all the while making sweeping claims. God, some idiots will fall for anything. I agree with willhelm, this is not about religeon, it is about some sick men having control. Here in Canada, men are disgusted by what men from other countries get away with. here it is not allowed and perpetrayers are punished. There are some decent muslims, I am marrying one in june! he is disgusted by all this and calls them; "extremist's" That excerpt is taken from a BOOK REVIEW Jmatts. Book is called : Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law by Nonie Darwish author of book review is : Patrick Keeney is the North American editor of Prospero. He is based in Kelowna, B. C. http://www.prosperojournal.co.uk/ That is a very interesting site, thanks antara. It is so long since I first bemoaned the loss of education to managerialism, training and 'information', and so rarely is it referred to even in 'educated' media, I had almost forgotten that there may be people engaged in addressing the issue. As for the extract from the review, to mistake it for a piece of reportage that needs sourcing reinforces the need for a prospero. If a Jew has intercourse with a Gentile woman...In parts of Medieval Europe, the law treated a Christian who had sex with a Jew or a Gypsy the same as someone who had sex with an animal. That, and other legal pecularities of the time, formed some of the plot points of a brilliant 1993 film "The Advocate" (aka "The Hour of the Pig") which, although it was only a movie, was well-researched for historical accuracy. @ shaor, are you going to convert to Islam? It is something I have seriously contemplated doing. 1. the basics of superstition & theory is believing something influences things with no solid physical or scientific proof of it's actual existence ... religion is also believing that something influences things with no solid physical or scientific proof of it's actual existence ... so, is religion a superstition or a theory or some of each? So, are we really just ignorant ape men worshiping the moon, because that's what all the other ape men do? --- 2. the impression one gets from such behavior by Muslim men is that they love men much more than women, is that homosexuality or misogyny or some of each? --- 3. Does a person who exclaims "Ohhh My God!" actually believe in God? Is that a form of worship or prayer? Or some of each? I SIMPLY THINK THAT THE REPORTER IS JUST BEING BIAS AND NOT BEING FAIR. HOW CAN HE OR SHE GENERALIZE A PHENOMENON THAT HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED IN EVERY ISLAMIC COUNTRY? I'M NOT IN SUPPORT OF STONING SOMEONE TO DEATH BUT IN A CASE LIKE THIS, YOU SIMPLY NEED TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE SHA'RIAH LAW IS NOT A MANMADE LAW. THEREFORE ANY ONE THAT HAS NO ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE OF ISLAMIC LAW MUSTN'T SPEAK IN SUCH A SENSITIVE CASE. AS FOR ME THE REPORT IS NOT DETAILED AT ALL. THE REPORTER NEVER TOLD US WHAT THE GIRL DID AND WHAT WAS DONE BY THE LOCALS THAT SENTENCED THE GIRL. HOWEVER IF THESE PEOPLE DID SUCH A THING ON THERE OWN PERSONAL VOLITION, THEY WOULD SURELY BE PUNISHED BECAUSE ISLAM WOULD NEVER...

IT'S THE KEY THAT SAYS "CAPS LOCK" --- HIT IT ONCE! BECAUSE SHA'RIAH LAW IS NOT A MANMADE LAW.Drop the caps, you were just born on the internet or what? Sharia law is a man made law, get your facts straight. THEY WOULD SURELY BE PUNISHED BECAUSE ISLAM WOULD NEVER ALLOW STONING A WOMAN TO DEATH WITHOUT HER PROPERLY DEFENDING HERSELF.But if she had a proper defense first, then the stoning would be sanctioned? The stoning to death of Du’a Khalil Aswad received international news coverage in 2007. To be unaware of it and mistake the clip for a news report rather than a commentary is sad to say the least. That is a very interesting site, thanks antaraYer very welcome Abailart @adegreat - Sha'riah law is indeed man made. It's BASED on interpretations of the Quran and on CLAIMS of what Mohammed (pbuh) advised. Not only that, like the christian bible and jewish Torah it has been retranslated and updated many times over. As I've stated before, it's not to be trusted. It is all man made. The greatest invention of mankind. And it is used mercilessly. And it is about nothing but power. I assume abailart...that you are addressed as Professor...however...I completely agree, that the reason these Islamic males and even the more "gentle" males, in our more "civilized", albeit non-verbally, and sometimes non-physically, either...indeed, overcompensate in a powerful strike against women, in an effort to subdue the female side of themselves. They feel so frightened of their own female side. Indeed I must agree, that when the boundary of violence is overstepped as they do, perhaps they ARE overcompensating, for being, very, very docile, and effiminate within. You've intrigued me with your articles...I LOVED the brain article. This, I study on my own. The networks, are what must be harnessed. TY, and nice to meet you! |
