ABUSE OF WOMEN IN ISLAM

STATUS OF WOMEN IN ISLAM
Introduction
Modern apologists for Islam claim that it guarantees total equality for women and quote Qur’anic texts as evidence. However, the Qur’an has contradictory texts on the subject, and the apologists ignore the ones negative to women’s rights.

The Great Muslim Sex Abuser is .......?

The 72 Virgins in Islam

MORE ABOUT VIRGINS (Houris):
Mohammed knew that sex would sell very well among the group of his followers who were motivated to fight battles by the promise of sex slaves and booty.

By constantly emphasizing to his followers that they would get untouched virgins in Paradise, Mohammed is clearly expressing his "high" opinion of the institution of marriage and his fairness to women.
Once the followers go to heaven, they can conveniently ditch their wives for the fresher and more pleasurable sexual encounters with 'Houris' (beautiful virgins). The poor wives who gave up their virginity for the pleasure of their husbands do not get anything. But wait, Allah is all merciful! He gives the wives the rare honour of watching their husbands deflower those 72 Houris (virgins) and 28 young pre-pubescent boys.

Lots of Sex in Islamic Heaven???

Here are the reasons why Muslim are so obsessed with many wives and sex even after death.

Malaysian 14-year-old girl's marriage triggers reform calls

The marriage of a 14-year-old Muslim girl in a Malaysian mass wedding triggered calls Monday for reform, and restraint by religious courts empowered to approve underage unions.

Schoolgirl Siti Maryam Mahmod wed 23-year-old schoolteacher Abdul Manan Othman on Saturday in a celebration at a major mosque, after being given permission in a Sharia court.

Activist group Sisters in Islam (SIS) condemned the marriage and said that some 16,000 Malaysian girls aged below 15 were married, citing figures released by a senior government official.

"No marriage of a minor child can be deemed acceptable," spokeswoman Yasmin Masidi said in a statement.

"We deplore statements by... government officials and religious authorities giving tacit approval to the practice or passing off responsibility to the Sharia Court to determine its 'permissibility'."

Malaysian Muslims below the age of 16 who want to get married must obtain the permission of the religious courts to do so.

Muslim Malays make up about 60 per cent of the country's 28 million population and on certain issues, including family law, they are subject to Islamic justice which operates in parallel with the civil legal system.

Women, Family and Community Development minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil also raised concern over the practice, which she said the government did not condone.

"As far as I know, she's got the consent of the (Sharia) court. But I implore the courts to be cautious," she said of Siti Maryan's marriage, according to the Star daily.

"As far as the government is concerned, a wedding does not make a marriage."

Ivy Josiah, executive director of leading activist group Women's Aid Organisation, has said that laws which allow underage marriage must be repealed by Malaysia, a conservative and mainly Muslim country.

"We need to remedy the flaws in the law. There are exceptions in the law. These exceptions should be removed. The government can no longer turn a blind eye," Josiah told AFP. (By Agence France-Presse, Updated: 12/6/2010)

Child sex normal in Islam and Quran

Saudi Woman Challenges Allah on Polygamy

Thursday, December 24th, 2009-By M. A. Khan

To Muslims, and even to some non-Muslim apologists, Islam is the only religion that has given women their due rights, equality and dignity. It can’t be otherwise: How can then Islam, as Muslims claim, be the perfect, the best and the final religion of God?

And Muslim women got due equality and rights alongside men despite the fact that;
(a) Muslim women have no individuality and independence for themselves as Allah has placed them under the charge of men, who may beat them or deal with as the wish, not vice versa [Quran 4:34];

(b) women are worth only half the men [Quran 2:282];

(c) women can inherit only half that of men (i.e. brothers inherit double that of sisters) [Quran 4:11,4:176];

Human Rights calls for the end to Pakistan Anti-Blasphemy Law

Blasphemy Law targets Pakistani Christians

Pakistan's Blasphemy Law has been used as a tool for persecution for years. Many have been thrown in prison for life or been put to death.

Muslim condemns the Pakistan Law

But Islam does not prescribe any physical punishment for blasphemy.

Where does Pakistan find its justification for such laws if not from Islam?

Mukhtar Mai a gang raped women fight back and won.

Mukhtar Mai is a Pakistani woman from the village of Meerwala, in the rural tehsil (county) of Jatoi of the Muzaffargarh District of Pakistan. Mukhtar Mai suffered a gang rape as a form of honour revenge, on the demands of tribesmen — or by some accounts, on the orders of a panchayat (tribal council) — of a local Mastoi Baloch clan that was richer and more powerful than Mukhtaran's clan, the Gujjar Tatla.


By custom, rural women are expected to commit suicide after such an event.[citation needed]. Instead, she spoke up, and using word of mouth, took her case to court where her rapists were arrested and charged.
She took settlement money provided to her by the government following the court case, and opened a center for refuge and education, the Mukhtar Mai Women's Welfare Organization.[1]

In April 2007, Mukhtar Mai won the North-South Prize from the Council of Europe.[2] In 2005, Glamour Magazine named her "Glamour Woman of the Year".


According to the New York Times, "Her autobiography is the No. 3 best seller in France ... movies are being made about her, and she has been praised by dignitaries like Laura Bush and the French foreign minister".


However, on April 8, 2007, the New York Times reported that Mukhtar Mai lives in fear for her life from the Pakistan government and local feudal lords.


[General Pervez Musharraf, the former president of Pakistan, has admitted on his personal blog[6] that he placed restrictions on her movement in 2005, as he was fearful that her work, and the publicity it receives, hurt the international image of Pakistan.

According to the New York Times, Mukhtar Mai, her friends, colleagues and their families are at great risk from violence by local feudal lords, and/or the government of Pakistan.

Muslim Women are Donkeys

Muslim Women are Donkeys
By Sher Khan

Please forgive me for quoting this derogatory remark.

I wouldn’t dare to call women in this name, not in the 21st century, when women are working with men side by side, becoming head of the state or CEO of large companies.

I am merely repeating the comment, alleged by the first jockey of Islam.

In many Islamic countries, donkey is an insulting word, which refers to a brainless idiot.

When Muhammad compared women with donkeys, he did not aim at the logo of Democratic Party of USA, he meant real donkeys.

Narrated ‘Aisha: ….. “Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people).” I said, “You have made us (i.e. women) dogs……………(Sahih Bukhari).

Bummer! Muslim women are not only donkeys they are dogs too!

Dogs are very friendly and favorite pets in the western world but it’s one of the most degraded animals in Islamic countries.

Calling someone a dog is an extremely offensive demeanor and may ignite a fistfight. It’s clear that Mohammad deliberately put down women, dogs and donkeys in the same class, with an attempt to humiliate the Muslim women.

Are these Muslim women blind, don’t they have any self-esteem?

Mohammad never had high regard of women’s intelligence.

Women are dumb and stupid, a disrespectful attitude perceived by many followers of Mohammad until today.

Muslim Men, Nightmare Marriages

Dear Faithfreedom,

Just like the other women in your website, I would like to help women interested in Muslim men to beware. I decided to share this after reading the story ‘recipe from hell’ …because that’s my story as well.

I am a Christian -Catholic lady and I met a Muslim man in university. He went after me like crazy and seemed like the perfect guy, just 2 weeks after knowing him he wanted to marry me and he seemed very serious.

We dated for 7 years while we were still in college and the relationship was very serious, he was very generous with gifts and stuff and very caring.

During the dating years he was open to my religion, he used to stay to my home even when I was not there, went to church together …everything was okay and all in my family loved him.

On the seventh year we got married in church – Catholic Church with several priests but had the reception at home and moved in together.

I loved him so much and was sure I was doing the right thing when we got married.

Since we were fresh graduates we agreed that he should go back to his Islamic country since it was difficult for him to get a job in my country and I was pregnant and we needed to be stable.

The price of marrying a Muslim

Hana, 21, ( pic) dramatic escape after over a decade in Jeddah

It was the moment Hana Basrawi had dreamt about for more than 11 years… and at first she was so nervous she could barely speak.

Then with the simple words “Hello mum” she knew her ordeal was finally over. At last Hana, 21, was finally face to face with the woman who had been in her thoughts every day since she was taken from her home in Britain as a 10-year-old.

Her domineering and controlling father Zuhair had taken her at the height of a bitter custody battle with her mother Suzanne and flown her to live 3,000 miles away in Saudi Arabia.

Problems Faced When Marrying A Muslim

Sunday, February 7th, 2010 Posted by Ali Sina

Being born in a secular country, and being a Hindu, I was taught to love and respect all religion. This was until I fell in love with a Muslim.

A muslim boy courted me when I was in university.
He promised me that when it comes to marriage, I would NEVER need to convert. I could stay in my religion and we could marry under civil law. I made it clear to him that I would NEVER convert to Islam under ANY circumstances.
He kept promising me that I would NEVER need to convert. It was only after his promise that I agreed and went into a relationship with him.

During our initial courtship, everything went well. But, soon, small problems started. I was always wearing the ‘pottu’ (a little black dot on the forehead which most hindu girls would wear). My boyfriend kept asking me if I would stop wearing it after marriage. I got mad at him after a while and stopped talking to him for a few days. To me, I felt that he was asking me to change a part of me that had always been there. Why should I change it when he had fallen in love with me knowing that I was a hindu? He stopped asking me when I got angry with him. But when our relationship deepened, he told me that I MUST stop wearing the ‘pottu’ and also told me that I had to stop eating pork when I was not with him. He also told me that I MUST stop eating from Chinese stalls even when I’m not with him. Out of the love I had for him, I stopped wearing the ‘pottu’ and stopped eating my favourite Chinese food.

So you want to be a Muslim's wife

Being a Muslim's Wife
By Abdullah Al Araby

He is asking for your hand in marriage, and you have fallen in love with his bronze Middle Eastern complexion. He is intelligent, rich, well-educated and well-mannered. So, what more can a woman ask for?...THIS MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR IS ALSO A MUSLIM!

"There will be no problems" he will say, "you can keep your religion, I will keep mine". And while it is true that Islam allows a Muslim man to marry a Christian woman, is it true that there will be no problems in such a marriage?

To answer this question, a woman has to examine what it is like to be a Muslim's wife

3 YEAR OLD MUSLIM GIRL YEARNS TO KILL INFIDELS

4 Stages of Islamic Conquest:

4 Stages of Islamic Conquest:

STAGE 1: INFILTRATION
Muslims begin moving to non-Muslim countries in increasing numbers and the beginning of cultural conflicts are visible, though often subtle.

o First migration wave to non-Muslim “host” country.
o Appeal for humanitarian tolerance from the host society.
o Attempts to portray Islam as a peaceful & Muslims as victims of misunderstanding and racism (even though Islam is not a ‘race’).
o High Muslim birth rate in host country increase Muslim population.
o Mosques used to spread Islam and dislike of host country & culture.
o Calls to criminalize “Islamophobia” as a hate crime.
o Threatened legal action for perceived discrimination.
o Offers of “interfaith dialogue” to indoctrinate non-Muslims.

How many nations are suffering from Islamic infiltration? One? A handful? Nearly every nation?

Understand the threat from Islam

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.

Here's how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be, for the most part, be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
This is the case in:

United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

“ YOU WORRY ME Muslim ! "

By American Airlines Pilot – Captain John Maniscalco

I’ve been trying to say this since 9-11, but you worry me. I wish you didn’t. I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country.

But you don’t blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries me. I notice you because I can’t help it anymore. People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now. I don’t fully understand their grievances and hate, but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of their attacks.

On September 11, nineteen ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in my country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death others. They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and children’s mothers.

The Palestinians Celebrated, the Iraqis were overjoyed as was most of the Arab world. So, I notice you now. I don’t want to be worried. I don’t want to be consumed by the same rage and hate and prejudice that have destroyed the soul of these terrorists. But I need your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.

Burkini Swimwear for Aussie - next Ramadan

Herald Sun, September 23, 2010 12:00AM

A PLAN to force families to cover up to avoid offending Muslims at a public pool has triggered furious debate.

An overwhelming 94 per cent of Herald Sun readers disagree with the legal ruling approving the contentious ban during next year's Ramadan.

VCAT has approved a ban on uncovered shoulders and thighs for a community event to be held at the Dandenong Oasis, a municipal pool.

"Participants aged 10 and over must ensure their bodies are covered from waist to knee and the entire torso extending to the upper arms," a request by Dandenong City Council and the YMCA states in an exemption application to the Equal Opportunities Act.

Ground Zero Mosque symbolizing Islamic Victory over Infidels

Throughout history, Muslim conquerors have demonstrated their hatred and disdain for all other religions by purposefully erecting mosques over some of the most sacred and hallowed places of Judaic and Christian worship.

The al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem is built on top of one of the holiest sites in Judaism, the Temple Mount. The Hagia Sofia, once the world’s largest cathedral and orthodox patriarchal basilica until its capture in 1453, was the principal mosque of Istanbul for over 450 years. During the Muslim conquest of medieval Spain, the Christian church in Cordoba was captured and converted into the central mosque of the Umayyad Caliphate. Muslims have engaged in this practice for centuries, symbolizing their victories over the infidels.

Today, in New York City, Muslim leaders are plotting to build a mega-mosque near the site of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, where over three thousand Americans were callously murdered by Islamic jihadists. The site of the Twin Towers has become the most hallowed ground in United States history since Pearl Harbor.

The Center for Security Policy has released a video with a chilling reminder that history repeats itself.

Jungle church in Kelantan faces demolition

By Debra Chong
September 17, 2010

The new church in Pos Pasik is 70 per cent done but faces being torn down. - Pictures courtesy of Colin Nicholas from the COAC.


GUA MUSANG, Sept 17 — An Orang Asli church under construction in the Kelantan interior is at risk of being torn down by the local land office.
Temiar Christians in Pos Pasik, an Orang Asli village some 70km northeast of here, were earlier this month ordered by the Department of Orang Asli Affairs (JHEOA) to halt work on their concrete church house, its pastor, Moses Soo told The Malaysian Insider today.

The JHEOA had written a letter dated August 9 to the village chief, Setmen Bin Belungei, informing the latter his “application to build a church has not been approved”, Soo related.

A copy of the letter was made available to The Malaysian Insider. No reason was given for the rejection.

“It’s not the first time they’ve done this. The first time was in Kampung Jias, near Gua Musang,” said the Raub-based Christian evangelist, representing an inter-denominational group called Gospel to the Poor.

Iman Faisal Raul of Ground Zero Mosque

Meet this islamist Imam Faisal Rauf.


Imam Faisal said USA was reponsible for 911


Who is Imam Feisal A. Rauf?

Could Imam Feisal A. Rauf be a moderate Muslim? Answer is a BIG NO! An Imam is who has read and believe in Quran and Sunnah (Prophetic traditions) in its entirety. Quran and Sunnah are 100% anti-women, anti-non-muslims and anti-all un-believers and 100% intolerant and violent; hence, anybody who read Quran and Sunnah can never be a moderate Muslim, period.

The real difference between Imam Anwar al- Awlaki and Imam Feisal Rauf is: Imam al-Awlaki engaged in violent jihad (like OBL’s al-Qaeda) and Imam Feisal is engaged in “Stealth Jihad”. But they both are fighting for the cause of Allah only to bring America under the fold of Islam—only religion accepted by Allah.

Before the CNN interview with Soledad O’Brien, Imam Rauf was interviewed by Hind Bashandy for Radio Hurytna in Egypt. The charlatan Imam’s double talk exposed him as a clear apologist of Islamic terrorism as you can see in the following conversation.

Hind asked the Imam, “Why Muslims hate America, and I ask the opposite question, why do Americans see us as terrorists or suspicious or they see that we are all Bin-Ladens”.

Rauf replied, “The main thing to every nation is national security. When there is a threat, the most important issue is national security, especially to the public. We also in the Muslim world, if anything happens in every country like what happened in Germany or any Muslim country, also in Egypt or any Muslim country like Saudi Arabia for example, it would be important to them of course. If something happens in Egypt for example the Copts or with religious minorities who have the same faith as the Christians in America, it makes them care, they are of the same faith. What happens from terrorist actions, it causes a national security threat, a threat to them as a community of Americans and Christians. The same with us, when Palestinians are under pressure or attacked we care as Arabs, we feel that we care, we feel attacked as Arabs and Muslims. This is natural. To any community. If something happened to the Bashandy family, aren’t you a Bashandi Hind? [Hind smiles]”

Feisal Abdul Rauf has not convinced anybody that he is a so called moderate Muslim.
In his interviews with CNN’s Soledad O’Brien and also with Hind Bashandy for Radio Hurytna in Egypt—his sly oratory indicated he was slinkier than a cunning fox.

He was no sheep; he is rather a coyote in a sheep’s clothing.

The Imam brought the bogeyman of radical jihadists in his argument against moving the Ground Zero Mosque.

Imam Feisal in his 2001 Sixty Minutes interview said bluntly, the USA was partly or in some case directly responsible for the 9-11 attack. Readers can listen him in this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHKV9GbjFko

Did he show any indication that he deviated from his past thinking?

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is out and out a dishonest person. And, of course, he is anything but a moderate Muslim.

Truth is: Imam Rauf is a dedicated “Stealth Jihadist” who is promoting and helping Islamic jihadists agenda in the U.S.

More Muslims Speak Out Against Ground Zero Mosque

Posted by J. Michael Waller Aug 24th 2010 at 6:59 am

Muslims across the U.S. and around the world are speaking out against building an Islamic center and mosque near the mass murder site at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan.

Many Muslim voices are echoing conservative critics of the Cordoba Initiative’s attempt to build the 13-story facility just 600 feet from where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood.

Their statements show the emptiness of a handful of Arab and Muslim Republican activists who, in a well-publicized letter defending the Ground Zero mosque, purported to speak for the interests of “the Arab and Muslim community in America.” They also eviscerate claims that critics of the project are motivated by prejudice and hatred toward Muslims.

Even before the six GOP Muslim and Arab-American activists signed the August 17 letter, Muslims in the U.S. and abroad were criticizing Imam Feisal Rauf and his $100 million Cordoba Initiative project.

Some Muslims called the mosque plan a deliberate provocation, a political gesture to thumb one’s nose at the “infidel,” and equivalent to building a Christian church where Serbian troops slaughtered 6,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica, Kosovo.

“American Muslims who support the proposed mosque and Islamic center near ground zero are facing skeptics within their own faith – those who argue that the project is insensitive to Sept. 11 victims and needlessly provocative at a time when Muslims are pressing for wider acceptance in the U.S.,” the Associated Press reported.

This is a piece of article written by Dr Lee Ong Kim, Associate Professor and Head of Policy and Leadership Studies, National Institute of Education, Singapore.

http://national-express-malaysia.blogspot.com/2010/01/rewriting-history-kota-gelanggi-lost.html

A small piece of History for our future generation.

Why Kota Gelanggi (lost city) touted as earliest civilization in Malay Peninsula news were banned as they were Buddhist.

The Johor find of 2005 which was quietly dropped was none other than Kota Gelanggi lost city reflecting Srivijaya and its Buddhist splendour. But they deliberately disregarded it because that would have sidelined Malacca Empire and Islam which was smaller and came some 500 years later.

I met Dr Lee Kam Hing, a former History prof at MU in Singapore recently at a seminar.

Dr Lee, who is now Star research director, told me he was trying his best to highlight Kota Gelanggi, but that the government killed it off.

Rapper Namewee report to Police

http://www.aizuddindanian.com/voi/2010/09/the-namewee-video-what-khairy.html

Controversial songwriter and film-maker Wee Meng Chee was questioned by the police for three hours tonight over his latest controversial video 'Nah!'

Wee also said he believes he has done nothing wrong.

'I support 1Malaysia'

"I'm a film director, artist and musician, but it doesn't mean that if there is something wrong, I keep quiet.

"It doesn't mean I'm anti-Malaysia. I am against racism. And I support 1Malaysia. If I see racism, I'll say it out loud. I love my country," he said.

Coming out of the police station at 12.25am, Wee told reporters that the police officers with him merely listened to his side of the story and took his statement.

"I explained everything to them already, and I think everything is okay now. They just listened to me.

Asked whether he was warned at all against stirring up any more controversy, Wee answered in the negative: "They didn't give me any warning. They just took my statement. Everything seems fine."

Namewee has united Malaysian against racism

COMMENT If Namewee (Wee Meng Chee) is prosecuted for his music-video, then two mixed messages are being sent out by the government:

The first is that the authorities practise double-standards.

The second is that it was only because of Namewee's 'intervention' that the government sat up and took racism seriously.

http://www.malaysianmirror.com/media-buzz-detail/41-opinion/49122-namewee-is-a-uniting-factor

On Wednesday, it was reported that the rapper was being investigated by the police for sedition. Various ministers and a menteri besar also want Namewee punished for his controversial video.

In the first place, Namewee made this clip because of the government's slow response to tackle effectively the latest racist incident. It appears that we are now united, against racism.

A Ramadan reflection: Who do we fast for?

By Marina Mahathir

IT so happened that this Ramadan I had to take an 18-hour flight to Vancouver to attend the wedding of a close friend’s only daughter.
I wouldn’t normally choose to travel during Ramadan but it was a rare opportunity to see my friend’s happiness as she saw her daughter married off.

I did tell a few friends I was going but still, there were several text messages and emails I received during my trip that I had to reply by saying that I was away in Canada. Back came the quick query: how is fasting in Vancouver?

Ordinarily, I suppose fasting in Vancouver would be pretty routine. But I had traveled a long way to attend one event and then pretty much turned around to fly home again. As far as I knew from the Quran, this exempted me from fasting.

In the Surah Al-Baqarah verse 185, God says, “It was the month of Ramadan in which the Qur’an was [first] bestowed from on high as a guidance unto man and a self-evident proof of that guidance, and as the standard by which to discern the true from the false. Hence, whoever of you lives to see this month shall fast throughout it; but he that is ill, or on a journey, [shall fast instead for the same] number of other days. God wills that you shall have ease, and does not will you to suffer hardship.”

Ramadan full of Toxins

Wednesday September 1, 2010

Disturbed in heart and mind
By Marina Mahathir

IT’S very strange, but as we enter our 54th year of independence, what I least feel is independent. It so happened that I had to travel far recently, to a land where the air was a lot cleaner.

I felt that I breathed a lot easier but I don’t think it was just the air. Once you get away, the air just feels so much less toxic.

Indeed, in the month of Ramadan – the month of reflection and restraint – we find instead more toxicity than ever.

From school principals who spout racist nastiness to politicians and media who insist on poisoning what is already a poisoned well.

Instead of the serenity one hopes to feel at this time, in order to feel closer to God, all I can feel is the disturbance in the heart and mind that comes from living in an environment of hate.

Sunni suicide bomber kills 53 at Shiite rally in Pakistan
Posted: 03 September 2010 1825

QUETTA, Pakistan: At least 53 people were killed and 197 wounded on Friday in a suicide bombing targeting a Shiite Muslim rally in the southwestern city of Quetta, police said.

The bomber was among the 450-strong crowd and detonated on reaching the main square in the city, according to police.

The explosion triggered chaotic scenes, with an angry mob starting fires and shooting into the air while others fled or lay on the ground to avoid the gunfire, they added.

"According to the reports collected from hospitals, 53 people have been killed and 197 have been injured," Sardar Khan, chief of Quetta's police control room, told AFP by telephone.

It was the latest in a string of apparent sectarian attacks, after three suicide bombers killed 31 people and wounded hundreds more on Wednesday at a Shiite mourning procession in the eastern city of Lahore.

Where is the spirit of Ramadan?

The parade of “Muslim sensitivities”: Where is it taking us?
Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin 20 August 2010

AND so Perkasa has made the news again. And this time by its own doing, not because a media bent on sensationalism tried to cultivate the Malay nationalist group in order to increase readership.

Church plays are seditious and insulting?
In the latest of Perkasa moves, its Petaling chairperson, Zainal Abidin Ahmad, lodged a police report against a Protestant church in Shah Alam and its pastor for planning to stage a Christian play during Ramadan. “We want the church and pastor to be investigated for sedition and for insulting the Sultan,” Zainal Abidin told The Malaysian Insider on 17 Aug 2010. Zainal Abidin also accused the church of deliberately attempting to preach Christianity to Muslims in Muslim-majority Shah Alam.

We may be lulled into thinking that the issue at hand is limited to a Malay, and hence Muslim, rights group making wild and curious allegations against non-Muslim, non-Malay Malaysians. If only that were the case. Unfortunately, much more is involved. Indeed, what is really at stake is the control of public space and what it means for all of us.

No more fatwas for Sheikh Abdel Mohsen Obeikan, the Saudi cleric and royal court adviser who earlier this year earned notoriety for rolling out an eyebrow-raising religious decree that called on women to give men breast milk to avoid illicit mixing.

Saudi authorities on Wednesday reportedly pulled the plug on Obeikan's radio program "Fatwas on Air," a daily morning show in which Obeikan would go on air and issue fatwas -- religious rulings -- to the public on various matters.

Taking the sheikh off air appears to come as part of Saudi king Abdullah's recent clampdown on the nation's fatwa bazaar.

Ramadan makes Muslims better Muslims

What The Sun says
Wed, 11 Aug 2010


MUSLIMS began their fasting at dawn today and will continue the daily dawn-to-dusk denial of food and drink for the whole of Ramadan. It is incumbent upon them to observe the fasting as it is one of the five pillars of their faith, Islam.

Ramadan is considered holy as it is during this month 14 centuries ago that the Quran was revealed. Thus Muslims are also encouraged to read the Quran and to contemplate its message as a reminder to them to live according to the guidance contained therein.

During this month Muslims are exhorted to lead exemplary lives, to be charitable and to observe moderation.
When it is time to break their fast at dusk they will not gorge themselves on food but instead eat and drink in moderation. Whatever is forbidden them during the day they can do at night but in moderation and within the bounds of the guidance contained in the Quran.

It is incumbent upon them to restrain themselves in their daily conduct: avoidance of cursing or losing their temper at any one, wasting, lying, cheating and backbiting.

They must avoid all kinds of temptations.

They are also exhorted to be friendly, understanding and tolerant in their dealings and relations with other human beings, be they fellow Muslims or those of other religions.

"Marriage for Minutes" in Iran

by Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury
August 06, Dhaka, Sri Lanka Guardian

According to Shia version of Sharia law, marrying a girl [either adult or infant] is legitimate in Iran.

Any male can marry a girl or woman in that country, which is under the cruel grips of Mullacracy for decades, simply by performing a religious ritual, which takes less than a minute.
In most cases, such ‘Marriage for Minutes’ or ‘Mut’ah Marriage’ take place to meet mere sexual desires of the men.

First of all, let us have a glimpse on the existing marriage law in Islamic Republic of Iran. In Iran, marriage law has become extremely complicated, confusing and mostly against the rights of women.

Let me begin with a quote from a fatwa by the late and unlamented Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, where the readers will possibly understand the state of mind of the Islamist clergies on this particular issue:

Saudis campaign to take 4 wives

Solution to spinsterhood: Take 4 wives

By YOUSUF MUHAMMAD

ARAB NEWS
Published: Jul 6, 2010 23:57.

JEDDAH: A group of young Saudis has strongly advocated polygamy as a way to end spinsterhood among women in the country.

They have launched a Facebook campaign called “We Want Them Four,” asking every capable Saudi man to marry four women to reduce the number of spinsters in the country.

There are no statistics on the number of unmarried women in Saudi Arabia, but their number is believed to be high due to the often-extortionate wedding costs.

“Every Saudi and Arab man who is financially and physically able to marry more than one wife should not hesitate to do so in order to end spinsterhood among our women and help cap the high marriage costs that have deterred many young men from getting married,” the campaign page says.

Polygamy for the Sake of Satisfying One's Sexual Appetite Is Allowed

Egyptian Cleric Ramadhan Labib: Polygamy for the Sake of Satisfying One's Sexual Appetite Is Allowed

http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/2578.htm

Following are excerpts from Egyptian cleric Ramadhan Labib.

Ramadhan Labib,the Islamic religious scholars have said that there are constraints on polygamy. If the wife is ill and the husband needs to satisfy his sexual appetite, or if the husband has a strong sex drive and one wife is not enough for him, he has the right to marry more wives.

Interviewer: So the religious scholars permitted polygamy to satisfy one's sex appetite, even if only for a limited period of time. A man may have a strong sex drive in his twenties and thirties, which later subsides.

Ramadhan Labib: Yes. How is he to satisfy his appetite during this period?

Interviewer: He can get married.

Ramadhan Labib: He has the right to take another wife.

Interviewer: Just to satisfy his sexual appetite?

Ramadhan Labib: Yes. Otherwise, he might satisfy this appetite in forbidden ways.

[...]

If a war breaks out in a Muslim country and many men are killed, and consequently, the women outnumber the men - then polygamy is permitted.

Outcry over Malaysian child marriages

August 2010 07:09:11 PM Source: AAPA Malaysian state's decision to allow child marriages caused an outcry on Wednesday, with rights groups condemning new rules that allow Muslim girls below 16 years to wed.

The decision by the Islamic religious council in southern Malacca state has been billed as an attempt to curb premarital sex and baby dumping, after a string of cases of newborns being abandoned.

"Child marriage amounts to paedophilia. We should not condone child marriages," said Ivy Josiah, executive director of leading activist group Women's Aid Organisation.

Malaysian Muslim women unhappy with polygamy

By Sean Yoong (CP) – Jul 22, 2010

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysian children and first wives in polygamous families overwhelmingly oppose the practice because the men seem too stretched to devote enough time and money to them, according to the country's largest study on the effects of polygamy.

Though sanctioned by Islam, polygamy is a hot-button issue for Malaysia's Muslims, who make up nearly two-thirds of the country's 28 million people. Statements made by about 1,600 members of polygamous households to university researchers appear to bolster claims by women's rights activists, who have long said the practice undermines the well-being of wives and children.

"We do not oppose polygamy, but we believe that monogamy is preferable," Adibah Jodi, a representative of Sisters in Islam, a Malaysian women's advocacy group, said Thursday.

There are no official Malaysian statistics on the number of polygamous marriages, but activists estimate they account for about 5 per cent of all new marriages every year, including ones not legally registered.

Polygamy in the Qur'an

What does the Religion of Peace Teach About...Polygamy

Question:
Does Islam really allow a man to take up to four wives?

Summary Answer:
Yes, a Muslim man can marry as man as four women, and have sexual relations with an unspecified number of slaves as well. Muhammad had eleven wives at one time.

The Qur'an:
Qur'an (4:3) - "Marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the captives) that your right hands possess."

Qur'an (4:129) - "Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire" (but don't let that stop you, husbands, because your needs come first anyway).

Qur'an (66:5) - "Maybe, his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in your place wives better than you, submissive, faithful, obedient, penitent, adorers, fasters, widows and virgins" A disobedient wife can be replaced. A man can only have up to four wives, but he can rotate as many women as he pleases in and out of the lineup.

The Iranian woman whose sentence of death by stoning was commuted to hanging after an international campaign, today sent a message from inside Tabriz prison calling for further support so that she might be reunited with her children.

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a 43-year-old mother of two, said she thinks of nothing other than hugging her children and that she was mentally broken when authorities flogged her 99 times in front of her then 17-year-old son, Sajad.

She thanked the world for launching the campaign for her release but said part of her "heart is frozen". "Every night before I go to sleep, I think who would throw stones at me?", she said.

The message was read by Mina Ahadi, of the Iran Committee against Stoning (ICAS), at a press conference in Conway Hall, in London, this morning .

Campaign for Iranian woman facing death by stoning

Saeed Kamali Dehghan
Guardian.co.uk, Friday 2 July 2010

Article history
A 43-year-old Iranian woman is facing death by stoning unless an international campaign launched by her children forces the authorities to quash what her lawyer calls a bogus conviction.

In a case that highlights the growing use of the death penalty in a country that has already executed more than 100 people this year, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani was convicted in May 2006 of conducting an "illicit relationship outside marriage."

Sakineh already endured a sentence of 99 lashes, but her case was re-opened when a court in Tabriz suspected her of murdering her husband. She was acquitted, but the adultery charge was reviewed and a death penalty handed down on the basis of "judge's knowledge" – a loophole that allows for subjective judicial rulings where no conclusive evidence is present.

Malaysia Home minister say regrets ‘Allah’ ban

By Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 — Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said today that his predecessor should not have banned the word “Allah” from being used by the Catholic Church.

The decision, he added, will continue to haunt his ministry “for a very long time.”

“In this ministry, it is a zero-sum game. We are [now] in an uncharted landscape which will haunt us for a very long time.

“We should have let the sleeping dogs lie. It was triggered by those that believed that the word ‘Allah’ should not be used in Sabah and Sarawak,” he said during the Fourth Annual Malaysian Student Leaders Summit here.

A Misunderstander of Islam, eh? No. Everything this Muslim cleric says is based on the Qur'an and Islamic law. "Friday Sermon in Gaza: Muslims Should Wage Jihad to Liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Filth of the Jews, the Brothers of Apes and Pigs," from MEMRITV, July 16 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Following are excerpts from a Gaza Friday sermon, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on July 16, 2010:

Say NO to Mosque at Ground Zero

DEMONSTRATORS SAY "NO" TO MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO

"No mosque at Ground Zero" was the rallying cry of the day, as thousands of angry demonstrators gathered for a rally to oppose the proposed construction of a 13-story mosque just blocks away from the site of the 9/11 attacks. A palpable patriotism and zeal filled the air on Sunday afternoon, June 6th as Zucotti Park at the corner of Church and Liberty Streets in lower Manhattan was filled to capacity. Rally attendees who came from as far as Chicago and Los Angeles held signs saying, "Ground Zero is a War Memorial - No Mega Mosque here", "You Can Build a Mosque at Ground Zero - When Can We Build a Synagogue in Mecca?", "Pack Your Sharia and Get out", "Mayor Bloomberg: This Mosque Has Radical Ties - and you still approve?" Hundreds of American flags blew in the summer breeze as speakers representing every walk of life condemned the notion of a mosque being erected near the site of the former World Trade Center's twin towers.

The Cordoba Initiative, headed by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, is the chief sponsor of the project that is to be called The Cordoba House, a name that refers to the city in Spain which, in the Middle Ages, was a center of Islamic culture and learning. Cordoba was also the seat of an Islamic caliphate in which Jews and Christians suffered under second-class dhimmi status and was the site of large-scale pogrom, perpetrated by Muslims, in the year 1011.

Malaysian Islamic crackdown on Muslims social life

July 26, 2010, Beh Lih Yi

Kuala Lumpur. Dusk has fallen and the party is just beginning for 29-year-old Asyikin, one of the many young Malay Muslims who hang out in Kuala Lumpur’s vibrant Bukit Bintang nightlife district.

A morality crackdown has seen Malaysian Islamic authorities hand out caning and jail sentences for illicit drinking and sex, and launch raids on homes and clubs in the glare of media flashlights.

But for Asyikin, a petite and attractive business executive dressed in a knee-length skirt and strappy high heels, the campaign hasn’t dampened her party mood.

Radical Muslims attacks churches in Indonesia rising

JAKARTA, Monday 26 July 2010 (AFP) - Indonesian human rights activists on Monday urged President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to investigate attacks on Christian churches, which they say have increased in the last two years.

From January to July, there were 28 cases of religious freedom violations by "intolerant groups targeting Christians," up from 17 for the whole of 2008 and 18 in 2009, the Setara Institute for Democracy and Peace said in a report.

Based on reports by churches and the media, the violations -- mostly by radical Muslim groups -- include forced closure of churches, revocation and delays in issuing building permits, and attacks such as torching and damaging churches, the institute said.

Malaysian Muslims should not wear ManUnited Jerseys

2010/07/21

KUALA LUMPUR: Muslims must not wear the famous Manchester United red jersey because of the “devil” emblem on its team crest, Malaysian clerics said today. Manchester United and the rest of the English Premier League are massively popular in Muslim-majority Malaysia and the rest of the Asian region, but conservative religious scholars said the jersey is un-Islamic.

Also off limits are the shirts of teams including Brazil, Portugal, Barcelona, Serbia and Norway, all of which carry images of the cross on their team emblems.

“This is very dangerous. As a Muslim, we should not worship the symbols of other religions or the devils,” Nooh Gadot, a top Islamic cleric from the southern Johor state, told AFP.

Pakistan Islamic Cleric demand Christian Minister to resign

PAKISTAN, 07/24/2010
Calls for Christian Minister Bhatti to resign

Islamabad (AsiaNews/Agencies) – Muslim groups insist that the murder of two Christian brothers, Emmanuel and Sajid Rashid, gunned down in Faisalabad last Monday after they were accused of blasphemy, was justified.

They also want Minorities Minister Shahbaz Bhatti, a Christian, to resign because he condemned the murder. Meanwhile, police are investigating the crime and might have identified one of the perpetrators.

In a statement that appeared in the Urdu daily Jasarat, Islamic cleric Allama Ahmed Mian Hammadi said, “It is not a cruelty to kill blasphemers; rather blasphemy itself is such an enormous brutality that the one who commits it does not have the right to live in this world. There is no pardon for the blasphemer.”

Muslims in Pakistan kidnap and rape Christian girl

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan, June 16 (CDN) — Five Muslims here kidnapped and raped a Christian girl after threatening to kill her unless her father allowed one of them to marry her.

Lazarus Masih said one of his three daughters, 14, was kidnapped on May 29 by five men identified only as Guddu, Kamran, Waqas, Adil and Ali.

Police recovered her on June 6 in a raid on the home where she was being held, though the suspects escaped.

“They threatened that if I don’t get her married to Guddu, they would kill her,” Masih said. “One of them said, ‘We attended an Islamic religious convention, and the speaker said if you marry a non-Muslim or rape a non-Muslim girl, you will get 70 virgins in heaven.”
