I keep reading that the Quaran has terrible morals and tells women to cover their hair and that’s sexist and all, but what about the Bible? It says all sorts of horrible things, and yet you sure aren’t anti-christianity. For a specific example (which are pretty identical to the Quaran’s talk of modesty), 1 Corinthians 11:6 is explicit in that it’s horrible for women to show their hair. Any comments on that?
You are comparing a verse which says a woman may as well have short hair if she doesn’t cover it to verses ordering women to cover every inch of their bodies in order to not tempt men into “harassing” them and to lower their gaze at all times – 24:31 and 33:59. Aisha narrated in Abu Dawud 32:4092 that Muhammad said when a woman reaches the age of menstruation she may only show her face and hands. Abu Dawud 2:641 Muhammad said the prayer of a woman who has reached puberty will not be accepted by Allah unless she wears a veil.
Can you name a Christian country that enforces capital punishment against women who unveil, unlike Islamic countries?
In Pakistan uncovered women are routinely attacked with acid. In Iran they rape and kill dress code violators.
Can you name a priest that says in the words of Australian clerik Taj Din al-Hilali, “unveiled victims of public rape invited their attackers and deserve to be jailed for life as “if she had not left the meat uncovered, the cat wouldn’t have snatched it.” These scripts prove why
Islamist lawyers can gladly state that “when a girl walks about like that, it is a patriotic duty to sexually harass her and a national duty to rape her” and why Muslim immigrants are admitting they rape Western women for not dressing properly and why a refugee to Sweden was obligated to beat his 14 year-old sister with a baseball bat for refusing to wear the veil.
Council on American-Islamic Relations scholar Jamal Badawi explains that the hijab is “a command of Allah to Muslim women” and it should be “the duty of the state” to enforce it. The leading Sunni institution in the world, Al-Azhar university, made it clear that the veil is compulsory for Muslim women and it’s not open for debate. Iman Wasim Fayed
at a mosque in Washington
said “if your woman wants to remove her hijab, wants to walk on the streets, wants to do whatever she wants, she’s destroying the family structure and disobeying her husband. What do you do? First talk to them. Then put them in time out. But if they insist, then you hit them. Be gentle so you don’t let the blood come out of them.”
I wonder where he got that idea from? Oh maybe, verse 4:34 which reads “Men are in charge of women by right of what Allah has given one over the other. So righteous women are devoutly obedient. But those wives from whom you fear arrogance – first advise them, then if they persist, forsake them in bed, and finally, strike them. But if they obey you once more, seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever exalted and grand.”
Sahih Muslim 4:1038 Muhammad says a man’s prayer is invalidated equally by the presence of a woman as it is a dog or donkey. Ishaq 593 shows Muhammad handed out slave women as party gifts. Verse 33:50 shows young women and slaves were only allowed to offer themselves to Muhammad, nobody else until he decided if he wanted them or not.
Sahih Muslim 8:3309 shows Muhammad married Aisha when she was just six years old and he was 50. Her father first refused until “the Prophet” explained to him that he had no choice as this was the rules of his new religion. Sahih Bukhari 4:232 shows the little girl would have to wash semen stains out of his clothes, which left wet spots when he went to the mosque for prayers.
Sahih Bukhari 62:58 tells a story of Muhammad looking up and down at a woman who was offering herself to him and decided she was too ugly for him, so he traded her off to another man.Sahih Bukhari 6:301 shows Muhammad would pass by women and tell them to seek forgiveness as the majority of them are dwellers of hell and said “I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. The deficiency is evident in two women being equal to the witness of one man and women can neither pray nor fast during her menses.” This is also told in Sahih Bukhari 2:28 where Muhammad says, “I was shown the hell fire and the majority of its dwellers were women who are ungrateful.”
Abu Dawud 2155 shows Muhammad telling his soldiers to pray and ask Allah to take refuge from the evil of women.
Tabari VIII:117 shows that after Muhammad and his men raided farms and killed or captured the men, they would capture farm wives and then distribute them among themselves as sex slaves.
What is the Jesus equivalence to any of this, exactly? Could you imagine Jesus doing any of the shit Muhammad pulled? This is the problem with treating religions equally, they aren’t equal, to criticize the fundamentals of Islam which very clearly are still inspiring millions of Islamists today does not call for equal criticism of another religion for the sake of it. The problem with Islam is, unlike Christianity, Islam is forbidden to evolve with the times and reform itself, so while we can say the two religions both are historically bad, only one is still inspiring its followers today to carry out jihad against the infidels and treat women like dogs. I’d be anti-Christianity too if it remained in the second century as Islam has or if it was founded by a blood-thirsty pedophile warlord whose actions of slaying anyone who mocked his made-up religion continue to inspire terrorists today.
