Know Thine Enemy

[Sixth in a series.]

Misogyny

The first five articles concentrated on the most significant issues: the doctrines which make Islam an existential threat. Now we'll explore another issue that needs to be recognized because of the consequences it holds for conquered populations.  You have wondered why many Islamic women wear the Burkha.  You may come to regret that curiosity.

Do you remember the old joke: "what did the cornfield say to the tractor?"?  The punch line runs close to this ayeh. I Bowdlerized this quote by deleting the parenthetical notes because they use explicit terms which might offend some readers. The quote is linked to the Hilali & Kahn translation, click it if you want to read the whole thing.   Ibn Kathir's explanation of the ayeh  expands on the deleted notes, and is even more explicit. Don't say I didn't warn you! The Reason behind revealing Allah's Statement: "Your Wives are a Tilth for You.

    Look past the reproductive aspect for a moment.  2:223 makes equates one's wives with fields to be plowed & planted. To Allah, your wives are chattel property.

Men are superior. Men support and protect their wives. And men have explicit permission to beat them.

Did that sink in yet? The widows & daughters of the men killed by Muslims are available for sexual exploitation.
I Bowderlized this hadith because of explicit expressions used. If you need to see them, click the link.  Muhammad explicitly gave his companions permission to rape captive women.  Use them & sell them as new.  Let this sink in for a while.

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 148:

Narrated 'Aisha:

The wives of the Prophet used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqia at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. 'Umar used to say to the Prophet "Let your wives be veiled," but Allah's Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam'a the wife of the Prophet went out at 'Isha' time and she was a tall lady. 'Umar addressed her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes). 

{Word to the wise: derive knowledge concerning Islamic scripture from the sentence in red!!}

    Now you know why Muslim women must be veilled.  But there are more ahadith which reveal misogyny.
    So women will be the majority in the fire because they are ungrateful. What of men's excelling over them in this life?
So, a woman inherits half as much as her brother, and her testimony carries only half the weight of his.  Did you know that "women are deficient"?
    There you have it, ladies. Muhammad says that you are chattel property (a field to be plowed), can be beaten if rebellious, must be concealed, get the short end of the stick economically, and are deficient in intelligence and religion. Does this make you want to revert and find a harem to join?
