The claim that Islam has been beneficial for women is a staple of Islamic apologetics. Yet in Islam, a woman’s testimony is worth only half that of a man. The justification of this is provided by Muhammad in a famous hadith, “for it is the deficiency in her [woman’s] intelligence.” Such a clearly misogynistc view, by Muhammad, the Perfect Man and Model of Conduct, needs to be kept from Unbelievers. They might think ill of Muhammad, and that would never do.
What do those who have this rosy view of Islam think of the marriage of Muhammad to the Jewish girl from Khaybar, Safiyya, after he had killed her father and husband? Was that marriage entered into freely by Safiyya? Could she, taken as war booty, have dared to refuse to marry Muhammad? Can one really describe her as exercising her own free will? And there is an even more disturbing example of someone who was married without regard for her own opinion of the matter: little Aisha. She was six, and playing with dolls, when first betrothed to Muhammad, and nine years old when he, at the age of 54, consummated his marriage to her. Can a six-year-old, or a nine-year-old girl, be said to have the necessary understanding to give informed consent? Did Aisha have the right to refuse to marry Muhammad? She did not. Nor could she be considered old enough to have consented to the consummation of that marriage, that is, to sexual intercourse, at the age of nine. Today we would consider what Muhammad did to Aisha to constitute rape.
Some claim that Islam improved the lot of women by granting them inheritance rights. The Islamic rules on inheritance have not changed in 1,400 years. In western Arabia, in the 7th century, these may have represented an improvement on the pre-Islamic Arab pagan custom by which only males inherited. However, there is still some controversy over how firm that pagan rule of male-only inheritance was. Khadija, the businesswoman who was Muhammad’s first wife, apparently inherited property from her two previous husbands, both of whom predeceased her. So she, at least, could inherit property. Were other women in Arabia allowed to do the same? Save for Khadija, convincing evidence, for or against women inheriting property before Islam arrived, has not been found.
But even if Islam were to be credited for improving the status of women in the 7th century by allowing them to inherit, women were still far from obtaining equal rights. And Islam’s rules have not changed since then, so that what might have been “progressive” in 7th century Arabia — allowing women to inherit property, albeit at half the amount as for men — is now distinctly retrograde. Muslim women still inherit, according to the Sharia, half that of a man, while the right of women to inherit equally has been adopted among Unbelievers everywhere. Islam stood still, as it must, given the immutable Qur’an. The rest of the world, meanwhile, kept advancing toward full gender equality, which has now been obtained.
Sex with slaves is clearly permitted in Islam (23:6). There was no moral objection in Islam to limitless sex with slaves. Qur’an 4:24 says that if a Muslim man didn’t have enough resources to marry a free woman, which would require certain expenses including providing her with the mahr (a mandatory payment, in the form of money or possessions paid by the groom, to the bride at the time of marriage, that legally becomes her property), he could marry one of his sex slaves for free.
It’s not just members of ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and the Taliban who think the rights of women should not change. No devout Muslim thinks there can be changes to what the Qur’an commands and the “authentic” Hadith reinforce. Many assume that Muslims can change the contents of the Qur’an. They seem to think that it’s merely a matter of will: if enough Muslims think the “rights” of their women should evolve with changing times, then this will happen. But Islam refuses to change with changing times; the Qur’an’s verses are not to be tampered with. 1,400 years have passed, and Islam stays the same. That is both its strength, and its weakness. This Islamic stasis is something many in the West can’t allow themselves to recognize; it would call into question all the high hopes for a reformation of Islam.
Islam is still living in the Stone Age although their not bopping her over the head with a club and dragging her home by the hair of her head
The true name of “Aisha” is lost to history.
Mohammed gave her that name because it was an onomatopoeic rendering of the involuntary vocalizations she made as he raped her:
AI-EEE-SHAA! AI-EEEEE-SHA!!!

Occasionally, we run across individual Muslims who are reasonable, such as the Druze who fight for Israel (many children of whom were murdered or deeply maimed for life by Hezbollah — literally, the party of God — a few days ago).
But for Jews to accept these decent Muslims, we must be willing to overlook the murder, torture, and rape which is at the very core of Islam…..and had been from the start, with Mohammed himself — piss be upon him.
Reforming depraved psychopathic murderous berserk freedom crushing Islam world require the absolute complete repudiation of Moo–Ham–Mud himself.
I am sure all the corrupt OPEC blackmailing ” Royal ” Islamic families will be happy to do that.
I believe that the Druze view their faith as different from Islam, albeit that it may have developed from it.
The Druze and the Bahai have in common that neither one believes that Mohammed was “the last prophet”.
They DO believe that Mohammed was a prophet.
After 9-11, I took CAIR up on its offer to send me a Quran gratis. After reading it, along with many hadiths and many books on the topic of Islam, I now have a much better understanding as to why so much violence has been, and is still being committed, in the name of Islam.
I highly recommend Wilfred Reilly’s recently released book “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me.” Chapter 1 deals with slavery. Muslims’ role in the slave trade is undeniable.
How many Americans even know why U.S. military personnel were on the “shores of Tripoli.?”
Depraved psychopathic murderous berserk violent terror promoting Islam has been a scourge on humanity for 1400 years.
Enough already.
Banning Islam in America should have been codified permanently in the US constitution 250 years ago.
Shame it wasn’t – iy would have been achievable then.
Read “White Gold.” Giles Milton.
If you want the REAL nitty gritty horror of Islamic Family Psychology I would recommend the brilliant Phyllis Chesler:

In my career I’ve worked in 3 different muslim countries and from my observations, women in those countries are treated like domesticated animals.
Ask Bebe King, age 6, Dot Stancombe, age 7, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, age 9, how islam improved their lot in life.
The UK authorities are withholding the killer’s name, because he is under 18 – what we’ve been told is that he was born in Wales, of Rwandan parents. I can’t help thinking that if he was Catholic, Protestant or Jewish, we would have been told that such was the case.
If the UK authorities have withheld information on the mass killer, i’ts because, as usual, they dare not tell the truth about his relation with islam.
Islam’s Sharia supports forcing females to wear the burka which is symbol of the misogyny of Islam with its Sharia.
Therefore, it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia had been revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995 ” For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
Therefore Sharia is of pagan origin and therefore has no value or worth.
The de-humanizing burqa is demeaning and degrading to females , both girls and women.
The Burqa is one aspect of the oppressive misogyny of Islam.
A scholar of Islam who revealed the disturbing horrible truth in her book “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islam ideology.” Furthermore, the author also exposed that `” Women is Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]
[1] THEY MUST BE STOPPED by Brigitte Gabriel, pages 171,172.
Today, it is the appalling intersection of uneducated, or liberal educated women chanting for those very barbarian men from Gaza who have sexually violated both men and women in their unprovoked, violent, and predatory incursion into Israel.
That these radicalized, pink-haired, feminists and neutered soy boys have no understanding of Islam or Sharia law is evident and dangerous!
It is also true that the left supports multiple forms of sexual deviancy and they have been working tirelessly to normalize it–a sexual cruelty, especially to children, they share with many practitioners of Islam as modeled by this self-proclaimed prophet.
This illiterate man claiming revelation from G-d Almighty through the angel Gabriel, engaging in child rape, pedophilia and the sexual enslavement of women, who have NO rights at all, should be evidence enough to understand it is a self-serving, manmade abomination.
Would that these screeching promoters of this morally reprehensible and brutal system of subjugation wake up or prepare, in their stupidity, to become its future victims.
It’s appropriate to say that the adage “be careful of what you wish for, you just might get it” is lost on most liberals. The only thing that matters to them are their “good intentions.” They rarely if ever consider the consequences of their “good intentions.”
The only ones who claim that islam was beneficial to women are those who have enslaved them. In this totalitarian ideology that masquerades as a religion, all and everything is fake, a big fat lie – white is black etc.., close your eyes to reality and dream. Yuk!
