  • @tammyglamy Genesis 3:15. I will put emnity between you and the woman and the heal of her seed with bruise your head" this is the emnity the serpent has with the woman. these men have been vessels for that emnity against the woman

  • @fanoflittleman The Bible is also sexist, the woman was supposed to be born out of a man's rib, and the god is seen as a him, so it is a male god.

  • @PortablePinoy This is not propaganda but a video to dispel the negative portrayal of the media about Muslim women as being oppressed. We do not seek followers as you can see because we don't go converting people house to house like what many Christians are doing. If you just watched the video and tried to pause for a while to really digest the message, then you would have a different view.

    Duh! People are intelligent enough to know what a propaganda is! Are you saying people are stupid?

  • @latesukiyaki all of this is propaganda,each religion treats women wrong in some way, or has it in there teachings, and YES people are IGNORANT and sometimes STUPID because when you cloud a mind with faith of course they will fall into it.

  • @PortablePinoy They have to use their rationalization so they don't fall into this bullshit.

  • Most muslim countries dont even respect the soerah's written in the Quran about womens right.

    When husband and wife divorce. The mother always gets the kids.

    And there is the same punishments for husband and wife if they commit adultry. And also the same punishment for prematial sex. But what is always happening. Is the women get killed in the name of honor killing. And only the wife gets stoned for adultry never the an.

  • @Rotterdam3081 Look, I'm just about sick of you, now wont you just fuck off

  • I am not really found of people using a holy book as inforcement in a legal system. There has never been a succesfull reasonable legal system in the world combined with a holy book.

  • Religion is a great thing. I myself am a muslim. But what is the teaching of Islam and what has been realized are two different things. On a global level most people have a negative image of Islam. And that is all the fault of the goverments of muslim nations.

  • MashaAllah...........

  • Salam

    Every person will think a religion is oppressive toward women, but the truth is that Islam, Christianity and Judaism (just to mention a few) teach men and women discipline and self restraint. Although you do have extremeist intepretations but on the whole in my opinion religions actually liberate a human being spiritually in that they are always working to please their creator. If women are oppressed in Islam just watch the video and decide if this learned and educated women is oppressed

  • She is not learned or educated... look her up... she is a fraud.. she works in a chiropractic clinic which is the same as voodoo medicine. She never studied Islam anywhere, she just started making DVDs to sell. You are on the internet anyway, I dare you to look her up! are you afraid of what you will find? As far as liberating women, governments have had to fight tooth and nail to save women from their own stupidity and religion.

  • You mentioned the Godless countries (Norway, Finland & Sweden) as getting you right? Di you know that these countries are not Godless countries - I am AGAIN addressing you consistent distortions; Norway - 91% Christian, Finland - 81% Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, Sweden - 75% of Swedes belong to the Church of Sweden (Lutheran) - Sweden also has a significant Muslim population.

  • attendance and declaring a religion when surveyed are 2 completely different things.

    UM, you do know that that Muslim population is a significant contributor to the over all crime rate there, don't you?

  • Let's try something different. How 'bout you make a statement and provide some proof to your consistently changing arguments. It will expedite my correcting your endless ridiculous assertions.

  • In which Muslim countries can women vote? In which ones can she marry who she wants if her family objects? In which country can she receive her full inheritance? In which Muslim countries can she travel freely without permission of a male relative? In which countries can she go out without her head covered? Which countries can she go to a male doctor? In which countries can she report that she has been raped without the 4 male witnesses? In which country will she not be jailed for being raped?

  • Comment removed

  • I did figure anyone would answer these questions.

  • in every single country, simple.

  • oh dougcl79, not cool man, that is the kinds of low brow things people say pubs, not in electronic print. It is one thing to have people think you are an asshole, and quiet another for you to leave printed proof.

  • what do you do for a living anyway? does it involve the numbers 7-11 or does it involve a cab? LOL

  • Guy goes into sex shop and asks for an inflatable doll. Assistant asks him whether he wants a Christian one or a Muslim one. Customer asks what's the difference. Assistant explains that you need a pump for the Christian doll, but the Muslim one blows itself up.

  • Q. What do you call a Muslim who owns 6 goats?

    A. A pimp.

  • Again everyone is rather impressed. So the Englishman stands up and throws the Pakistani off the train.

  • A Russian, a Cuban, an Englishman and a Pakistani are on a train.

    The Russian takes out a bottle of his best vodka, drinks a bit and throws the rest off the train and says, "There's plenty more of that where I come from."

    Everyone is impressed. The Cuban takes out one of the finest Havana cigars, takes one puff and throws it off the train and says, "There's plenty more of those where I come from."

  • Q: What's the difference between Dar al-islam and Dannon yogurt?

    A: The yogurt has a living culture.

  • Q. What can Saudi Arabia do to raise the average IQ in the country?

    A. Allow Jews to come in.

  • Q. What do Tehran and Hiroshima have in common?

    A. Nothing, yet.

  • hey pam, what do you call a muslim woman who owns a goat and a camel?

    Bisexual!

    LOL!!

  • The laws of civilization were written more than 6000 years ago, have you never heard of Plato, or any other Greek philosopher? THE EGYPTIAN civilization? Is she nuts? I guess she never heard of Cleopatra either? There were female scholars and mathematicians in Egypt hundreds of years before Islam was even thought of. Hammurabi wrote of the rights and responsibilities of female business owners, it is carved in stone, no one can change it ....so people like this just lie about. Ignorance is bliss

  • she's a fucking idiot. Read her messages. Especially the ones where she defends her pedophile of a prophet

  • You will find with further critical examination that ancient Egypt the allows that you stressed were ONLY allowed rights to upper class women. These rights were not provided to ALL women!

    However, the laws revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (swt) brought rights to all people, Including the disenfranchised, women, slaves, orphans, prisoners of war and the poor. These laws turned around the ethical compass of ancient Arabia. The sister correctly discusses these rights; however, you distort facts

  • I distort nothing....Sorry but you can lie all you want. Women have no rights under Islam. If they did, women in afghanistan wouldnt be getting acid thrown in their faces for going to school...that's just one example. Here's another that the ignorant muslim breezed over...a law was passed recently in afghanistan that stated a wooman MUST have sex with her husband at least once a week, and that she cant leave her house or

  • be educated without their husband's permission. Muslims in many countries force women into marriage at very young age....probably because the pedophile prophet of Islam married a child too...so, dont bullshit me about hyour religion....it's a sick religion

  • Actually dougcll79, my comments where directed to ReligionIsSophistry. At least his comments, unlike your mindless, senseless racist diatribes & jokes, contained at least some amount of truth. Personally, I would never engage in any type dialogue with someone like you. Just setting the record straight, As-salaamu alaikum.

  • My point was that SOME women had achieved an amount of respect an autonomy , the business owners were not of the upper class, if no one, Christian, Jew or Muslim had interfered, the process would have continued and equality would have been achieved much sooner. Now women are slaves, abused beaten robbed of their inheritance all in the name of religion. Muslim women have it the worst because the Christians and Jews

    generally have a secular government to protect them from their religion.

  • You mean like the secular laws of equity that women received about a 100 years ago in the US? Does this really substantiate your case? I will admit there are many problems, but these problems are within the corrupt & Godless leadership of ALL countries. I think effort is better spend understanding the corruption then continued fruitless discussion over what religion is more oppressive. I think it is hard to believe that any country that kills 1.5 Mill civilians is at the apex of society.

  • I never said which religion is more oppressive, they are all inherently oppressive.

    I said which government, based on religion, is more oppressive.

    It is GODLESS ones that get it right!!!!! Sweden, Norway, Finland etc.

    I never said America....DUH! Don't forget that the Christian Coalition has held this country hostage for YEARS! America didn't even make it into the top 20 countries that protect women and their rights. The Christians and their taboos hold back progress at every turn.

  • how do you get a muslim man all hot and turned on?

    have his wife dress up as a goat!

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  • pam...do you still have a clit? or did your father cut it off and sew your vagina up?

  • no, they were not pedos

  • LOL...you really are too much...you know nothing about the west, America, or myself. we are superior to you though, in every way

  • I bet you have at least 20 gigabytes of child porn on your computer

  • there isnt a problem as long as the people are 18+

    keep going stupid...this is fun

  • so as you're stroking your imam, do you think about 9 year old poon or 6 year old poon?

  • that was over 100 years ago you stupid fuck. We dont practice that anymore and the ones who do are pedophiles that we put in prison...unlike many muslim countries who still practice this..we dont have pedophiles as prophets either...

  • just admit it...you secretly yearn for 9 year old poon

  • I have no problem with a man having a younger wife...what I have a probel mwith is pedophilia...which you dont

  • you proved nothing...call me all the names you want, here because you wouldnt do it in real life.

  • you seriously cant figure out what is wrong with A 54 year old pervert marrying a 9 year old? are you really that fucking stupid? As I said, you and muslims like you all support child rape. I can see why you live in Australia...the age of consent is 12 I think.

    now that we clearted up the fact that you love 9 year old poon, how can we get australian officials to get you out before you rape a child?

  • well, muslims must live on a whole other level of immorality. I'm sure if I asked 20 people that the marriage of a 50 year old pervert to a 9 year old girl is child abuse and rape....20 would agree with me...so

  • will do

  • her emotional/brain development is still that of a child. and your prophet is still a pedophile. why does that not bother you? are you a pedophile?

  • it's been fun exposing the immoral degenerate Pamuk7..this guy rationalizes child rape, put a pedophile as a prophet, violence and mistreatment of women is ok, refuses to educate himself, Islam is anything but peaceful, and Pamuk7 is a aquater in the west that he hates.

  • a child's emotional development has to be taken into account as well. You absolutely defend child rape because you rationalize why it's ok for your pedophile prophet to marry a 9 year old because since she can bleed, in your world she's marriage material.

  • you will not answer because you either agree with it or you're uninformed...probably both. Do a google search coward, and try to learn something.

  • I'm curious what your thoughts are on the law passed in afghanistan that essentially allows a man to rape his wife, that they cannot leave their home, work, or get educated without their hubby's approval...your thoughts? or how about the young couple who were just executed for the crime of eloping and being in love? Since you defend child rape I'd like to hear your views on this

  • are you a suni muslim or a shiite?

  • how old are you?

  • read the book "infedil" by Hersi Ali for what Islam is all about....funny, that line was said to her as her grandmother beat her...

  • it would take a miracle to get me to convert to any religion....maybe buddhism but that's it. I'm an atheist because I'm a rational clear thinking adult. You clearly are not

  • christians/jews/muslims actually worship the same god...and when you get down to the fundamentals of christianity and Islam, both are intolerant of other views, both think they are right, both share a seething hatred of women

  • and I'm still waiting for an answer as to why you are living in the west when you hate westerners....why cant you answer that you fucking coward?

  • who gives a shit about your book...actions speak louder than words, and it's being done in the name of Islam. I actually got a koran and will try to read it. I had one once but through it away..I want to understand the disease that is Islam

  • see you breezed over the honor killings, the rapes, the abuse of women, the acid attacks in afghanistan on girls going to school, old women getting caned in Saudie Arabia, honor killings....all a part of Islam....

    America has a lot of problems, but we are better than any muslim country.

  • what the fuck are you talking about? you're dellusional

  • right, because rape never happens in muslim countries! LOL

    unlike you savages, we punish the rapist and not the victim, Where in places like Pakistan a woman has to produce 4 wittnesses or she gets blamed for the rape....

    as I said, the US is superior to any muslim country, even with our problems

  • google acid attacks on girls going to school in afghanistan...

  • United States is far from perfect, but we are superior to any muslim country by far...

    you still havent answered why you live in the west....you are such a coward

  • you also like to murder your daughters in honor killings...admonish...beat, same thing.

    Bottom line is that in Islam women are treated like cattle...and you still havent answered me as to why you are living in the west when you clearly hate westerners....fucking parasite

  • what better things do you have to do? LOL

    plan a beheading? beat a woman? cut the clit off of a 6 year old girl?

  • you havent refuted anything...the only thing you have done is defend child rape...you are a sick fucking muslim...typical. You are also a parasite living off welfare of the west. the time will come eventually where Islam in the west will come to an end

  • you are not only an intellectual coward, but you are a coward in general.

  • run coward run! LOL

  • lol...

    The Fact of reaching puberty MENT becoming an ADULT in terms of MATURITY, BEHAVIOUR and RESPONSIBILITY

    I agree with this, but it doesnt come at 9 years old...being able to have a period doesnt make you an adult mentaly. so unless you are lying or are a supporter of child rape, you will agree with me also that it doenst happen at 9 years old.

  • Comment removed

  • A child at 9, bleeding or not, does not have the psychological or intellectual development to give a formal choice on whether or not to get married. this is fact. you didnt refute a god damn thing you're just rationalizing child rape....

  • insult me all you want, you wouldnt do it anywhere else but here

  • so since Islam condones pedophilia, what do you think about the girls in some islamic countries like afghanistan who are being forced to marry at 9-14...dont you think that is a little abusive?

  • just because you can bleed at 9 doesnt mean you are no longer a child...psychologicly the person is still a child, as the brain is still developing until about 24...You have a LOT to learn little one...put down your koran and pick up a textbook

  • Your attempt to rationalize child rape is very disturbing and again says a lot about your lack or morality and your intellectual cowardice...I suspect you have a bit of a hard on for kids.

  • Comment removed

  • a 9 year old is a child...it says a lot about you when you're willing to rationalize pedophilia.

    how old are you?

  • Now as for your monkey comment, I'm not mad because deep down you know that the real coward is you. You are the one who leads the miserable life here.

    Why are you living in the west when you hate the west? do you enjoy being a parasite?

  • you need evidence to tell you that screwing a 9 year old is wrong? More muslim immorality...wheather or not the 9 year old reached puberty is irrelavent because the 9 year old is still a child, and having sex with a child makes you a pedophile. your prophet is a pedophile...I'm sorry but that's how it is.

  • I read your site...maybe in your world a man fucking a 9 year old child isnt pedophilia, but any other country with morality describes it as repulsive, disgusting and immoral. Islam is immoral and your prophet was a pedophile. You cannot deny those facts. I think you yourself might be a pedophile so you join Islam where having a hard on for children is accepted...afterall, your prophet did it...

  • by the way, why the fuck do you live in Australia? a western country? muslim parasites

  • My response to you is to embrace atheism. Remove the chains of ignorance and embrace reason. Reject the immorality of Islam and step into the light of self-rule.

  • we dont follow those marriage laws anymore camel fucker. As for refuting, there is nothing to refute...he was a pedophile....a 50 year old man fucking a 9 year old is pedophilia. Game over

  • Muslims hate women. Why else would they chop their clits off, dress them in trash bags and beat them....Islam is shit and their prophet was a pedo

  • Cowards like you send children to be suicide bombers. Cowards like you beat your women and dress them in garbage bags...and cowards like you are too intellectually inferior to know that holding a pedophile as a prophet is immoral. You lose rag top. Your prophet was a pedophile, a war monger, and is resting in hell where you will be hopefully...your threat to me proves Islam is anything but peaceful

  • your words about women show the hatred of women that you learn from your bood, founded by a pedophile prophet (pig shit be upon him). You muslims are all cowards....you're probably too fucking ugly to get laid, which is why you hate women and why you are a camel fucker (muslim)

  • You cant destroy something that doesnt exist. Islam is about hatred, violence, and abuse of women. You hate women. Kafirs, all of them, are superior to muslims.

  • thanks for sharing

  • I don't have a sister and my mom was never in porn. I think women in the porn industry perfectly accepted. We will destroy you and your sick religion. Your time will be here sooner or later and I can't wait.

  • Mr pmuk You don't really convince any one by insultin them !! and as I know muslims don't insult and dosn't use this vulgar language!!

  • what tubeurgaiml said is true, a muslim should always be nie.

    but we are sll humans and we get mad but what pamuk7 said is still true.

    peace

  • Actually, all these ARE rights. Western women regardless of religion do all this by choice. Unless they're strictly religious. What's wrong with sex? It is completely natural...and fun.

  • Here are some of the basic rights a women has in islam, the right to:

    - be raped

    - be forced to walk five paces behind a man

    - be considered a second class citizen

    - have their clitoris cut out

    - be killed in the name of "honor"

    - forced into marriages with men they do not love

    - be stoned to death for adultry (this counts rape)

  • Well, that didn't seem to bother people like you during the 1980's in Afghanistan. In fact, wasn't there a term for these woman-haters that American patriots used for them? I think it was "Freedom Fighters"? And they blessed Afghanistan with what you called "freedom" and "democracy" that went from 1992-9/11/2001? What we have here, folks, is the typical idiocy and hypocrisy of the American patriot.

  • Here's another GREAT vid regarding Women's Rights in Islam !!

    Check it out! You wldn't regret it, I gurantee you ! Emjoy !!!!

    :)

    /watch?v=GthC_T4pW_w

  • Cheers to Islam! Women are cute. As young girls they get the false impression that they are superior, but they can't think straight. They are the first ones to fall for the propaganda that the government feeds us, that is why they're always spending ridiculous amount of money.

    I don't care if you give me a thumbs down. I dare someone to challenge me and prove me wrong.

  • hamer, you wrote: " I dare someone to challenge me and prove me wrong."

    OK, hamer, pls post your debate challenge at investigateislam. c o m

    He will prove you wrong. But i gurantee you will not do so, because quran book cannot stand.

    You wanted someone to prove you wrong. Now prove me wrong tt you are not a COWARD to back out of what you posted.

  • Islam gives women more rights even so than the westerns. first of all they are liberated from support family, they are automatically finacial support.

  • It's a matter of fact, that syro-aramaic was prevalent in the near east up to the 7th century, when Arabic started as literary language.

    Learn more about that in the Wikipedia article:

    "The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran"

    Greetings!

  • syryo arameic is a derivetive of Arabic.

  • The book makes no attempt to place its findings in any plausible historical context. Who were the Christian inhabitants of the pre-Islamic Mecca who used the alleged Qur'anic Aramaic-Arabic mixed language and what exactly were their Syriac writings which produced the Arabic Qur'an. How theory account for the Jewish elements in Muslim scripture, and how early Islamic exegetes manage to achieve. To believe indeed any of them have been solved by Mr Luxenberg's book. Simon Hopkins -- Univ of Hebrew

  • a wikipedia article is made by anyone bro, plus in the Quran God says it's the language of Arabic

  • first of all, you are talking about islam like you have knowledge of it and secondly you make statements and a quote with out references, thirdly you don't even state your own belief. you just put up a hate website for people to visit.

  • now i am guessing that you are a christian. did your holy ghost teach you to spread hate about other faiths. christians always claim to be spreading peace, but all some of them seem to do is insult other faiths. i guess it is exciting to make fun of other people. if this is what your faith teaches, i surely don't want anything to do with it...

  • There are parts of Quran originally not written in Arabic language, but in Aramaic. In its oldest parts Quaran is christian.

    Luxenberg, Christoph:

    The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran

    Berlin: Schiler, 2007.

    ISBN 3-89930-088-2

    Hardcover, 352 p.

    "probably the most important book ever written on the Koran." (The Guardian)

  • well quote the part that is originally written in aramaic. if you know basic history, the quran was written in the time of the prophet muhammad in arabic and memorised completely by many of his companions. i am sure the writer of the book wrote it for a certain group of people based on lies and fabrications but i guarenty the writer will never debate with a muslim scholar about the quran. the challenge is open and always have been.

  • what are you talking can you explain?

  • owh my .... i'm talking to a minor if not a mentally undeveloped adult. i will cease to have a conversation with you. you are full of "hate". u are not a true christian. christians preach "love". peace

  • "Rabid Dog Muslim sites"??? now that sound like a real muslim website!! i seek coorporative inter-religious conversation. but i see hatred in you. so no matter how much i explain .. it will never get into your head coz you'll just toss it away. i see this conversation is doomed frm the very beginning.

  • owh thats a harsh word frm a "loving" christian. dont put words to my mouth brother. all i'm saying is, its their customs to marry girls at any age. much like the hindus practice infant marriage. why must you attack a long dead custom? go to india and fight those infant marriage custom instead. its still practiced to this very day. bro.. ignorance is bliss. but when ignorance is paired with arrogance ... it will be a disaster.

  • it is the truth. and girls menstruate during the age ranging from 7 - 16. its a scientific truth. my advice to you, seek the truth not hatred. may god show you the right path. peace

  • Brother Starcatcher .... i see your point. i've searched what you asked me to search. and it led me to muslim hating websites. pls dont use those website as facts coz they just try to twist this religion out of the context. i'd rather you do comparison reading regarding the subject written by a muslim and a non muslim. and then do your own verdict. if you find it despicable then its ur verdict and you are entitle to it. but pls be rational

  • well look now... some girls get their menses by the age of 8, 9, and so on. it varies between individuals. some even get them by the age of 16 or even at the age of 7... who knows. ask your mom, ur aunts and your sisters. see the rational behind it don't just blow things out of proportion. may god guide you to the right path. during Muhammad's time, its a lawful act. don't judge him using the 21st century law.

  • (ctnd) Muhammad did married Aisha. but he didn't have sex with her until she had her menses. you cant judge Muhammad with today's thinking. in India, infant marriage are practiced. but its just their culture. much like the Arab's culture during Muhammad's time. hope that cleared things up. peace

  • to all who think prophet Muhammad is a pedophile?? it is actually a matter of how old is a person to be considered as an adult. nowadays it's somewhere around 18 and 21. in Muhammad's time, a girl is an adult when she has her 1st period or menses.

  • Assuming the outside environment is highly polluted, then, which is better for a bird: To stay in a cage in order to stay protected from pollution or to fly free and use the wings? Same thing with women: To stay veiled or to try things and learn from them? Not getting veiled for a woman doesn't mean she will get raped automatically. There is risk in life always but this is no reason to oppress women differently in a guaranteed way (being veiled).

  • Islam liberates us not the US. Pure ignorance and stupidity would make you say US liberates muslim women.

  • In court she read from verse 34 of sura 4 of the Koran, An-Nisa (Women), in which men are told to hit their wives as a final stage in dealing with disobedience. The verse reads: "... as to those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them and leave them alone in the sleeping places and beat them".

    What I want to know is can u use your shoe and is the left one better than the right one?

  • go read more into this verse please, you do not understand it correctly. The beat them has extreme limitations, as Mohammed PBUH did not beat his wives and was, ofcourse, completely against the idea. In some commentaries, they suggest using a TOOTHPICK for a reason, something that does not inflict bruises, scars, etc. if ur not satisfied I can show u essays on the subject

  • Are you serious, satanicaa? I hope you're joking. Does the Koran say this, or are you reading essays that say that?

  • hadiths say this, which some people consider as valid a ruling as the Qur'an. Yes, I am serious =) want to challenge it?

  • Yes, I want to challenge it. The hadiths weren't written by prophets. I don't think you should trust man's word. Especially when it says to "use a TOOTHPICK for a reason, something that does not inflict bruises, scars, etc." on your wife!

  • When you pray to God, I'm sure you can feel in your heart that harming your wife is NOT right. She is supposed to be your partner, your angel, your life. Someone you protect and care for.

  • you're absolutely right, I would never "harm" my wife. I would never "harm" my children either, but that doesn't mean it is not my duty to discipline them correctly. This does not mean to bash their heads in. I especially like how my parents used the slap-hand technique. I would ask you what kind of "harm" did that inflict? A hit with a "miswak" is far less. I would never harm my wife, no.

  • If the Qur'an does indeed teach that women are equal, then you have no right to discipline your wife. You have no authority over her, like you do your children. Only God holds us accountable for our actions. Not you.

  • satanicaa, to answer your question, yes it is harmful to slap your wife. It is mentally and emotionally harmful. She will be in constant fear of you, and will always feel less than you. God created us equally. We will never be less than you.

  • u're not allowed to slap your wife in islam. please understand the religion before u start spamming bs. thank you

  • I was not intentionally "spamming bs". Let's keep this friendly, shall we? I misunderstood your words. You said, "I especially like how my parents used the slap-hand technique. I would ask you what kind of "harm" did that inflict?" This made me think it was acceptable to use the technique on your wife.

  • Furthermore, that's what I'm trying to do. Trying to understand your religion. How else to understand it than to ask questions to the followers of Islam?

  • Let me re-phrase my statement to suit you. satanicaa, to answer your question, yes it is harmful to hit your wife with a miswak. It is mentally and emotionally harmful. She will be in constant fear of you, and will always feel less than you. God created us equally. We will never be less than you.

  • ahh ok i see now. forgive me if I have offended you. Ok now here's the thing, if you have read the verse it goes something like this (a summary): men are a the maintainers and protectors of women, if a wife does something <"nushuz" in arabic> rebellious or outright against the husbands intentions...

  • then there are 3 ways to handle it 1) First talk to her about it and make her understand that what she has done is wrong (hadiths say when talking to your wife you should do it with utmost respect and kindness). If this same action persists 2) separate the beds (this is mostly interpreted as don't sleep together in general). If this same action persists beat her (this has long hadiths and is not as simple as that...

  • now, logically after the husband talks to the wife AND separate the beds, why should the action happen a third time? Do you think that THIS is not mentally hurtful to the husband? The whole process is supposed to be hurtful to both parties actually and is not supposed to be some kind of physical punishment in any way, the intention is to be psychological because everybody needs some kind of stimulation to learn and understand, and alot of time, appreciate.

  • Many couples only realize how much the other person means to them when they're in a conflict, and islam goes to long lengths to prevent divorce. If you want more information on this verse I have a nice article explaining it in more detail.

  • The question in my mind is only one. Do you (muslims) believe that any nonmuslims (infidels) can be justifiably killed in jihad. And if so, do you believe in aggression. And if not, why don't you speak out openly against this radical sect of your ideology instead of defending them. I would like to live in peace, but I must say, when I hear "Death to America" from the mouths of children, I do not think of a peaceful religion/ideology, and I fear for the future of all of us.

  • Laruca I am a revert, a Hispanic Muslim, jihad means the struggle - So with that said The Qur'an makes reference to Jihad but the Jihad that is spoken is of our temptation, within ourselves. That is the jihad we must fight. We are not allowed to take life because that is the Creator's duty, thought about it this way, if we slaughter our meat in a way that is less agonizing less painful for the animal, imagine our views on harming a human.

  • And like I said before, Aisha was one of the most knowledgeable of Muhammad (p.b.u.h)'s wives, and one of the most knowledgeable women of the ummah as a whole. The senior companions of the Prophet used to refer to her opinion and consult her. She became his best supporter and learned much of Islam from him. She was a great teacher for many women and men of her time. I'm sure if she was raped or molested she wouldn't have supported him or continued to speak highly of him after his death.

  • tkwtkwtkw--Let's get some facts straight. The Qur'an does no allow rape under any circumstances. And Muhammad (p.b.u.h) did not rape a young Jewish girl from Kahibar after killing her father. That's the dumbest lie I've heard about him so far. Aisha was not raped or molested by Muhammad (p.b.u.h) if she was, she would have said so herself. Nobody would stop her from coming out in the open and saying she was raped. But she didn't say that, instead she talked very highly of her husband.

  • Islam liberates us not the US. Pure ignorance and stupidity would make you say US liberates muslim women.

  • Fools. USA is the best friend of a muslim broad, we liberate them, no matter how ugly they are. Fix dinner!

  • You say marriage, many others say rape. Depends on your concept of age of consent, doesn't it? The fact that any freethinking woman would spend even a moment defending such an umbrageous and intolerant philosophy is beyond my ken.

    Is your sense of self-worth such that you must follow the orders of a man you married at twelve or sixteen? Have you no shame?

  • thestraightpath: Actually the Quran does allow rape. It allows the rape of women that are captured in battle (Quran 4:24 and Quran 23:1-7). In fact, Muhammad himself raped a young Jewish girl from Kahibar after killing her father. But hey, at least she was 17 and not nine like his favorite wife Aisha.

    How any modern woman of even minimal education can embrace Islam is stultifying. To continue to proselytize this garbage philosophy is criminal.

  • Alright well peace be with you man whatever you are (Jew, atheist, Christian...whatever).

  • There is no doubt that Muslims have a different operating system (Islam.exe) and it shows in your values and actions.

    Race is irrelevant, ideas are what either hold us together or throw us apart.

    See you in another debate.

  • She became a great leader for Islam, a great scholar for Islam who would teach about Islam to many men. Does this seem to be the symptoms of someone who has been abused? If Aisha was indeed a victim and so on, then why did she love the prophet Muhammad so much, and would sometimes get jealous around him because she loved him so much, does this sound like someone who is a victim?

  • Are we to assume that ALL these Arabs were pedophiles and child molesters? Indeed such a conclusion would make the one making this conclusion a very stupid man, because only a very stupid arrogant man would accuse an entire race of being child molesters and pedophiles. Why is there not a SINGLE Hadith from Aisha showing her being displeased of the marriage? Why is there not one Hadith from Aisha showing her to be like a victim, instead when you look at Aisha you find no symptoms of a victim.

  • Are we supposed to assume that Abu Bakr, and Aisha's mother, and the women present with Aisha are all pedophiles and child molesters? Indeed such a conclusion with be very ignorant, and arrogant. Why didn't any of the prophet's enemies use this against the Prophet Muhammad?

  • If the marriage was so wrong, then why didn't Aisha's mother object to the marriage? Instead she happily gave Aisha for marriage, and prepared her for the marriage. Why didn't Abu Bakr the father of Aisha object to the marriage? If it was so wrong you would expect the father to have not allowed such a marriage to take place. And saying "but I am your brother" doesn't mean he's objecting.

  • Money.

  • As for Aisha being happy or not with the deal is irrelevant. If any man has sex with a minor girl in Georgia, USA, and the authorities find out, that man goes straight to jail, even if the youngster pleaded him on her knees to do it. And if the girl was a virgin he can expect an extremely tough sentence. And I do not want to tell you what would happen to him in jail.

  • Her father did object to Muhammad´s intentions, Abu Bakr and Muhammad were brothers because they were very close friends and still Abu Bakr said:"but I am your brother", he did not say: "GREAT!, LET´S HAVE A PARTY!". But he could not refuse.

  • How can I rationalize the marriage between a powerful warrior in his 50´s and a 6 year old. Look at any 6 year old child playing in a park and see how far apart any adult man is from that angel. Who is going to dare him?.

    The point I am trying to make is that we have to be critical thinkers with what we believe. I know it is hard because we are dealing with the faith we have accepted since we were children, but now we are adults. We must overcome our fears and think critically.

  • Aisha´s parents did not want to marry their child to Muhammad, it was Muhammad who approached them and asked to marry Aisha, so they had to.

    Sahih Bukhari 7.18

    Narrated 'Ursa:

    The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry."

  • Alright so where does it say that her parents objected? And if she was molested or forced to marry him...then why is it that several yrs after his death she still talked good about it...praising him in good ways?

  • She continued interpreting diffrent sayings of the prophet. Never did she say ANYTHING bad about him. Like him being a "child molester" or whatever.

  • Okay so what's your point? I already knew that but did you know that Aisha's parents were the ones who married her to our Prophet, and that no Muslim or even pagan objected to the marriage because it was widely practiced. And even until today
