“Islam Is RIGHT About Women”

24

In the quiet suburb of Winchester, Massachusetts, signs have been found posted on poles, all bearing the enigmatic statement “Islam is RIGHT about women.” No one seems to know what the statement is meant to mean. Some are unconcerned, but for many there is unease, likely prompted by the predictable desire to claim that this is an example of islamophobia. In this view, the person who put up the signs “Islam is RIGHT about women” meant through sarcasm to mock Islam and its true Believers.

Another possibility is that the statement means exactly what it says. A True Believer put up the signs. He – or a not impossible she – wanted to make a statement in defense of Islam and what islamocritics describe as its misogyny. The statement in this view is to be taken at defiant face value. We Muslims are correct in our treatment of women; Islam is “RIGHT” to treat men and women unequally. That treatment is not detailed in the laconic sign, but you who read this sign can fill in the details for yourselves by consulting the Qur’an. Here are some of them: Islam is “RIGHT” to have women hide their dangerous seductiveness by covering themselves, in everything from just a hijab to the full cover of niqab, burka, and chador. Islam is “RIGHT” to endorse polygyny, and to allow husbands, but not wives, the triple-talaq divorce. Islam is “RIGHT” to insist that daughters should ordinarily inherit half of what sons inherit, and to insist that the testimony of a woman should be worth only half that of a man.

There is still another possibility. Perhaps someone deliberately put up this bit of deliberately ambiguous mystification in order to attract the greatest amount of attention and discussion. And the planned puzzlement worked. The story of the signs posted in Winchester, Massachusetts has for several days, according to Google’s English version, been one of the three most cited stories about Islam in the United States. The intent of the poster was neither to straightforwardly praise nor through sarcasm to blame Islam, but to start discussions, not just in Winchester, but everywhere that the story was reported, about what the gnomic statement was intended to say. Was it meant to be taken, literally, as true, or sarcastically, as false? Or as a prompt to detailed examination of the view of women in the ideology of Islam?

Those discussions, prompted by the signs and their massive coverage, would necessarily require an examination of what Islam teaches about women, their need for cover, their abilities, their islamically correct behavior, their necessary subservience to men as their natural superiors. Such discussions, wherever they take place, will quite naturally lead to examination of such Qur’anic verses as 4:34, where Muslim men are told they may “beat” their wives if they even suspect them of disobedience, and the men are furthermore instructed in the same verse that they are the guardians of their wives because of their superior abilities. Islamocritics will be able to point to that verse. The goal is to get a discussion going, one in which islamocritics will be able to introduce those subjects in a non-hostile manner, by presenting themselves in the role of innocent, youth-wants-to-know inquirers.

Here is how one of those islamocritics might raise such questions with Muslims:

“I, too, have wondered about those posts in Winchester, the ones that read “Islam was RIGHT about women.” I have made a list of some of the questions that trouble me about the treatment of women in Islam, so please help me out here. First is the Qur’anic verse that allows husbands to “beat” their wives if they suspect they have been disobedient. I have seen Muslim authorities online explain that a husband does indeed have full rights to beat his wife, and other authorities explain that the husband can only beat his wife ‘lightly,’ as if with a miswak, or small toothbrush? Which is true?

“Then I wonder about the need for cover. Why are some Muslim women forced to wear the hijab or, in a still more extensive cover, the niqab or burka or chador? Isn’t this based on the idea that women must in public hide their attractiveness? Doesn’t this assume, wrongly, that Muslim men can’t control their libidos, and the seductiveness of women must be hidden from view? Do you think a woman who object to such cover should be punished? Recently in Iran, a few dozen women were sentenced to prison for refusing to wear the hijab; their female lawyer was sent to prison for 38 years merely for defending them. Do you think that a just result? Do you think Muslim women should have as much right to refuse, as to adopt, such cover? Do you really think Muslim men are incapable of holding their libidos in check when they see uncovered women?

“Another question: why can Muslim husbands take up to four wives, while a Muslim wife can have only one husband? Doesn’t this devalue women? And why should a Muslim husband be able to divorce his wife simply by uttering the triple talaq, while Muslim wives have a more complicated process, in which their stated reason for divorce will be examined for its validity by religious authorities – it may be turned down – and they are also required to  return the mahr (the sum given to the bride by the groom at marriage)?

“Why do sons in Islam get to inherit twice as much as daughters? And why is the testimony of a Muslim woman worth only half that of a Muslim man? I [the islamocritic] have read that in a hadith Muhammad justifies this last rule about the lesser worth of a woman’s testimony by referring to “the deficiency of her [woman’s] intelligence”? Did Muhammad actually say that? And do Muslims believe that today? What can they answer?”

These are the questions an islamocritic will be able to raise naturally, in discussing the conceivable meaning of “Islam was RIGHT about women.” They will hover permanently in the air, because Muslims will be unable to provide satisfactory answers to these questions. And that is what I allow myself to believe was the whole intent of the enigmatic posts in the first place.

While I have the deepest respect, nay admiration for the author of this article, after reading it, I have concluded that no discussion should be expected, as the reality is that the treatment of women by the Islamic world constitutes treatment that is based on ancient, outmoded and inane concepts when presented against the realities of the human species today. Before I discuss the Mother Nature evolutionary difference that are so obvious, let me point out that the American society, contrary to the Islamic society, has adopted what is referred to as equal protection and due process for both males and females. The concepts within Islam, as stated in this article, provide no such protection for females, and as such is a glaring mis-treatment process, so foreign to our societies concepts that it is inane and should be seen as such by our leadership and us civilized people. Furthermore, and though I am not an expert on human physiology, Mother Nature has created two separate genders, though equal in their special differences, as all animals on this earth are, each being given natural gifts that are special to their gender. Though the male was given hormones that enable them to create muscle strength that ordinarily makes them larger and stronger than women, and men were given the ability to begin the fertilization process, the female was given the eggs needed to create new human beings, and only they are capable of that creation. Intellectually both genders are comparable. Therefore, Mother Nature also expected that to procreate the species women were given bodies with attractive curves , softer skin, hairless skin, and men were given looks to be attractive to women, all of which was intended to promote attractiveness for both genders, thereby inducing the genders to procreate (marriage). When one understands these principles of nature, one must conclude that Islam’s practices of covering their women is against both Mother Nature’s laws and man’s laws of equal protection and due process and must be seen as a clear and present danger to everything we here hold dear. That is the bottom line!

Your post just shows how much smarter the average person in the West is than the average Muslim. Part of it is due to all the inbreeding going on but most of it comes from the indoctrination of Islam from birth to death for all citizens in Islamic states.

We should oppose Muslims like they were all carrying the Bubonic Plague. Their religion and culture is not just incompatible with the West but a real danger to our civilization. Once Muslims outnumber you and get positions of power, they will be very hard to remove.

It will probably come down to a civil war because we’ll demand our freedoms back, they’ll say no and then the fighting will start. Pamela’s followers are a very enlightened bunch so most of us already know Islam really well. I just wish we could get Pam’s and Robert’s message out to millions. Forewarned is forearmed.

We can fight Islam without using violence by pushing back wherever Muslims try to force their death cult on us. Then our leaders need to wake up and tell Muslims to leave Islam or leave the country. I’m sure eventually deportations will be required for most of them.

Let’s not forget about the “political inbreeding” of Islam in America, especially after what SCOTUS pulled last week:https://thegreatarchitect.blog/2019/10/18/2390/

Islam allows to eat your wife specifying frying and boiling (no eating her raw). B-eating.

Koran says ” Women have lower intelligence than men” Hmmm ….I think he may have been closer to truth on this one ! Its Mostly women who support bringing in more muslim “rapugees” in western countries
along with feminised left/liberal males.

Left/Libs women welcome illegals/jihadis and run around like cowards after they start committing gang rapes, assaults.

Here’s one such woman from Germany who was brutally murdered https://tinyurl.com/yad8pdug

No guns , bring in more criminals immigrants = More assaults, rapes, murder of locals is Left/liberal pro-jihadi policy Demonrats wants to impose

LOL!!! I love this sign. NO…..I don’t love it because I think Islam is right about women. Despite the sign on the surface appearing to be clear about what it means……It is actually quite ambiguous….which is the point. It is meant to DIVIDE Liberals and the Big LIB media. IF Islam is right about it’s treatment of women, it shows you are multicultural which Liberals love. But IF Islam is right about it’s treatment of women, it shows you are sexist and hate woman. Oh boy, how the Libs and their Fake Media are going to have a headache over this one. The person who wrote this sign is a genius 😀

One could change the text a little to perhaps like: Islam is right for the garbage can ! or Islam is right for Pedophiles ! or Islam is right for Rapist ! or Islam is right for Murderers ! or, better still: Islam is Evil and should be destroyed worldwide and removed from this planet. Islam has absolutely nothing to do with religion and is nothing other than a totally perverted vicious killer cult.

ISLAM is the ONLY ideology in our current world THAT HATES AND MURDERS anyone NOT Muslim. Much like the NAZIs during WW2, ISLAM TEACHES this hatred openly HERE IN AMERICA and Americans ALLOW IT.

If anyone understands THAT, then they are wise. If you don’t understand THAT, then well, you are NOT very wise, smart, intelligent, or apt to make a logical decision.

SO, AMERICA, just how wise are you…………..or not?
