On Tuesday, a mother in Texas pleaded guilty to severe abuse of her fourteen-year-old daughter, including choking, beating, and even burning. The case is horrifying enough in itself, but it uncovers even deeper issues that no one in American public life has yet shown any willingness to face. Eventually, however, these issues will become unavoidable and obvious to everyone.
Click2Houston reported Tuesday that Sittarh Mazhar Khan, a Muslim woman in Kingwood, Texas, a section of Houston, “is accused of beating, choking, and burning her 14-year-old daughter in October of last year.” At a hearing on her case, an officer explained that “the defendant, upset the complainant did not wear her hijab at school, beat and choked the complainant, causing her to lose consciousness.”
As if that weren’t bad enough, Khan also became enraged after her daughter overcooked some pita bread. She then “forced the complainant’s arm onto a hot oven rack, causing her to have three burn marks.” Yet for all this, Khan received only cursory punishment: “Khan’s plea agreement includes deferred adjudication for three years. During that time, she has to complete 100 hours of community service, donate $100 to the Houston Food Bank, cannot use drugs or alcohol and must attend a 4-hour anger management class.”

Not only is that a ridiculously light sentence in light of what Sittarh Khan did, it is also undeniable that none of it is going to ensure that Khan won’t engage in this kind of behavior again. That’s because none of it addresses why this happened in the first place. The prohibition on drugs and alcohol is entirely irrelevant, as Khan didn’t abuse her daughter while drunk or high. The anger management class is likewise beside the point, as Khan is unlikely to have acted upon a fit of uncontrollable rage. Nothing in Khan’s sentence addresses the fact that she treated her daughter this way because of principles and assumptions derived from Islamic texts and teachings. No one involved in this case, aside from the defendant herself and her friends and family, was likely aware of that, or would have dared to address it if he had been.
The daughter is the victim here, but it is hard not to have some sympathy for Sittarh Mazhar Khan, who is likewise a victim of a culture that has passed on this kind of behavior from generation to generation for centuries. She was likely treating her daughter the way she herself was treated when she was a teenager. The abuse of women is hard-wired into Islamic texts, and so has gone on unchallenged for generations.
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.” (4:34) This is not a dusty text that has been ignored ever since it was written. Even the prophet of Islam is said to have acted in accord with it. 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)
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)
Imagine a different world, in which Texas authorities read out such texts and others like them in the courtroom during the trial of Sittarh Khan. If they had done so, at very least Khan’s sentence would have been different, and would not have wasted so much time on irrelevant provisions. Some people also might have begun to ponder the larger implications, for women and for the nation in general, of the wisdom of opening our doors to mass Muslim migration. Eventually these issues will become a matter of national discussion, for Sittarh Khans will be all over the country, and there will even be calls for the repeal of laws criminalizing the abuse of women. Despite the warning sign of Sittarh Khan’s case, however, it is still true that no one sees that coming.

Islam is a cult. It is not a legitimate religion. Never was. Moslems put their asses in the air and face Mecca. Islam is misery whever it goes. Murder is what follows.

Please give a precise, accurate, and objective definition of what a religion is.
Who says that religion cannot lead to evil? To claim that a religion can only lead to good is an arbitrary assertion.

RELIGION implies a UNIVERSAL/SUPER-NATURAL GOD. In Christianity, IT IS THE SON OF GOD WHO HOLDS THE KEYS TO HEAVEN AND HELL until after JUDGEMENT because JESUS died on the cross, went to Hell to preach and then received the KEYS OF BOTH HEAVEN AND HELL from his Father UNTIL AN APPOINTED TIME, which is after the Great Judgement of SINNER (no, Christian will not be there). All other ideologies have no PROVEN DEITY, NO SACRIFICE, NO SUPER-NATURAL POWER as GOD AND JESUS DOES.
Now, within ‘Christianity’, there are DENOMINATIONS and not all of those are EQUAL, with one exception: JESUS CHRIST being the SON of God.
CHRISTIANITY IS THE ONLY so-called ‘religion’ that has HISTORICAL proof of its existence from the beginning of time since Adam and Eve, all the way to the death of Jesus Christ who died for every single person who ever lived, that is, IF THEY ACCEPTED HIM AS THEIR SAVIOR.
ALL OTHER ‘RELIGIONS’/IDEOLOGIES ARE MAN-MADE AND WERE INTRODUCED HUNDREDS OF YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF CHRIST.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? If it tell you nothing, then you are already LOST. If it tells you that maybe you need to investigate further about the SON OF GOD AND WHY GOD SACRIFICED HIS SON OF US, THEN YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK, because the CHRISTIAN God and Jesus do not ADVOCATE THE MURDER OF INNOCENT PEOPLE as Islam does and that should tell you A WHOLE LOT about what Islam really is: FROM SATAN.

While I generally agree with you, BadNews …
Arguing with THX1138 ( thanks Hell … George Lucas’ license plate … and first financed feature film based on his student film project of the same name)
THX is an Objectivist fanatic … aka he’s an Atheist like Jihadis are Muslims.
You’re wasting your time. And all of us old timers know it.

BTW: yes, ideologies and even man-made religious denominations have committed evil. THAT IS THE NATURE OF MAN WITHOUT CHRIST, because of what happened in the GARDEN OF EDEN and the introduction of SATAN to mankind. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY CHRIST HAD TO DIE ON THE CROSS FOR ALL MANKIND. No other ideology or man-made religion has this. ONLY TRUE CHRISTIANITY.
When you understand Genesis and FREE WILL and you go further by realizing that MANKIND IS/HAS ALWAYS BEEN FLAWED, then eventually you will understand exactly WHY GOD HAD TO SACRIFICE HIS SON SO HE COULD SAVE MANKIND from HELL………..at least those who accept Jesus as the Son of God. IF YOU DON’T, WELL, YOU ARE ALREADY ON YOUR WAY TO HELL, but that is your choice under GOD’S FREE WILL.

ISLAM is an ideology, not a religion, maybe a cult, BUT IT IS AN IDEOLOGY OF EVIL AGAINST ANYONE NOT MUSLIM. PEOPLE NEED AND MUST UNDERSTAND THAT.
Now, since Islam is an ideology, IT IS CONTRARY AND/OR OPPOSITE OF OUR BILL OF RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTION, so my question is: WHERE WAS THIS YOUNG GIRL’S RIGHTS AS AN AMERICAN?
If this young girl IS AN AMERICAN, she has a right to be treated according to our Constitution, WHETHER she is a citizen or her temporarily. IF THIS YOUNG GIRL IS NOT AN AMERICAN, THEN WHY IS SHE HERE? If Islam and our Constitution are contrary to one another, THEN NO PRACTICING MUSLIM SHOULD EVER BE ALLOWED TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY.
When a foreigner become a U.S. CITIZEN, they SWEAR AN OATH to uphold the U.S. Constitution. SO, I GUESS THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS NEEDS TO BE ASKED OF THIS MUSLIM MOTHER:
1. Are you a U.S. Citizen?
IF YES, then you have placed ISLAM over America’s BILL OF RIGHTS.
2. IF YOU ARE NOT A U.S. CITIZEN, then why did you come to AMERICA?
THOSE QUESTIONS NEED AND MUST BE ASKED BEFORE YOU CAN PASS JUDGEMENT. IF the Mother REFUSED to follow our Constitution, then DEPORT HER IMMEDIATELY BACK TO WHERE SHE CAME FROM – – WITHOUT HER DAUGHTER.
AND YES……………IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

There are over 50 different muslim countries muslims can go to. Why western countries? And why convert us? And why especially white, blonde haired blues eyes? Specifically this type? Why?
In italy, Greece, Spain muslims. Why? I’m asking why? We don’t want them. Never wanted them. But why are they moving into Europe, and Western countries?

The muslimes who “disgrace” their family usually will suffer the consequences of being beaten or eventually being killed by their family members. Several years ago a muslime from Iraq up in phoenix ran over his daughter and her friend killing his daughter for dressing too much like an American. They move here and refuse to assimilate. They all need to be deported. They all use taquia to hide their true intentions. Just like Abe Hamadeh is being exposed of. First it was Blake Masters who mentioned something and then another one who is running for office is Jerone Davison who also brought it up about Abe Hamadeh.

So white Americans are literally having their children taken from them by the state because they don’t support the mutilating of their children, to “change their gender.” Muslim mom beats child unconscious, leaves burn marks on arm and basically crickets. We will probably hear about them again referencing an “honor” killing.

What is a religion? I thought you’d never ask – Marxism is a religion where ‘God’ is the state.
Atheism and Nazism are religions. Hinduism has many ‘gods’. Buddhism has no God at all.
Real science is a religion. Fake science is a religion. And yes – Scientology is a religion.
There are 8 billion religions because that’s how many people there. Some are good some are bad.
You get the idea – It is a time for choosing – – –

This mother is a muslim. What better can be expected from them? Deport them all, except the young kids, who can maybe be raised and loved by real Americans.
