What does Islam Hide that A. Hirsi Ali would Expose?

A. Hirsi Ali Quote - Exposing Islam not Self-Hate but Reality
Again Dajjal is sharing his insight on Islam. This insight was both a comment to a NCCR blog post and a post on the blog Freedom Ain’t Free and Take Our Country Back. The post Dajjal commented on was “CAIR and Brandeis U, the True Haters”. Dajjal’s post on Freedom Ain’t Free … has the same title because Dajjal used his thoughts as a reblog from the NCCR post.

I can’t help it, I am going to arbitrarily issue a unique title to distinguish Dajjal’s thoughts from my blog post.

What does Islam Hide that A. Hirsi Ali would Expose?

What’s all the fuss? Why the pissing match & cat fight? What does Islam have to hide that Ayaan Hirsi Ali would expose?? I have a clue for you: it has to do with the status of women in Islam.

According to Islam, women are deficient in intelligence and religion. Their testimony is worth half that of a man. And they cannot approach the mosque or fast while menstruating. They curse excessively, are ungrateful to their husbands, and will comprise the majority of the dwellers of Hell. Do not take my word for this, look it up for yourself.


Impossible, right? And that stuff about wife beating must be a lie invented by Jews. Yeah, right. Check out Moe’s last sermon. I will give you excerpts from two sources. Read’em and weep. Go to Amazon and buy hard copies of The Life of Muhammad and Volume 9 of Tabari’s History to see this slice of Islam in all its glory. Women are the prisoners, slaves or domestic animals of their husbands, having no possessions of their own and no control over their lives. Their husbands purchased perpetual use of their reproductive organs with their mahr*.

[* Blog Editor: Since I didn’t have a clue to what “mahr” meant, I am going to assume most readers do not know either. Here is a Wikipedia excerpt explaining the meaning:

In Islam, a mahr (in Arabic: مهر‎; also transliterated mehr, meher, or mahrieh) is a mandatory payment, in the form of money or possessions paid by the groom, or by groom's father, to the bride at the time of marriage, that legally becomes her property.[1] While the mahr is often money, it can also be anything agreed upon by the bride such as jewelry, home goods, furniture, a dwelling, some land. Mahr is typically specified in the marriage contract signed during an Islamic marriage.

Mahr is similar in legal enforceability to donatio propter nuptias of Eastern Roman law, except some critical differences.[2]Donatio propter nuptias was optional and voluntary, while mahr is mandatory and required for all Muslim marriages. Mahr is not an optional gift.[3][4] The other difference was that donatio propter nuptias was a security the groom delivered to bride or registered in her name, at the time of marriage, in exchange for dos (dowry) that came with the bride.[5][6] Mahr is a religious requirement according to Sharia.

The terms "dowry" and "bride price" are sometimes used to translate mahr, but these are misleading. The term dowry (Latin, dos dotis) is inaccurate, as it is the money, goods, or estate that a woman brings forth to the marriage, usually provided by her parents or family. In Islamic marriages, such assets brought into the union by the wife may only be accepted by the husband after the mahr has been paid by him to her.[citation needed]

In the event the marriage contract does not contain an exact, specified mahr, the husband must still pay the wife an equitable sum.[7] The requirement of a mahr is mentioned several times in the Quran and Hadith.[8]

The mahr is READ THE REST]

“You have rights over your wives and they have rights over you. You
have the right that they should not defile your bed and that they should not behave with open unseemliness. If they do, God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity. If they refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control of their persons. You have taken them only as [a] trust from God, and you have the enjoyment of their persons by the words of God, so understand (T. and listen to) my words O men, for I have told you. ”

Now then, O people, you have a right over your wives and they have a right over you. You have [the right] that they should not cause anyone of whom you dislike to tread on your beds; and that they should not commit any open indecency. If they do, then Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain from [evil], they have the right to their food and clothing in accordance with the custom. Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from Allah, and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of Allah, so understand and listen to my words, O people. I have conveyed the Message, and have left you with something which, if you hold fast to it, you will never go astray; that is, the Book of Allah and the sunnah of his Prophet. Listen to my words, O people, for I have conveyed the Message and understand [it]. Know for certain that every Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, and that all Muslims are brethren. It is not lawful for a person [to take] from his brother except that which he has given him willingly, so do not wrong yourselves. O Allah, have I not conveyed the message?

Al-Tabari, Vol. 9, pp. 112-113

Well, honoricide ain’t in the Qur’an. So it must be cultural, not ‘religious’; not a part of Islam. Yeah, right. It is in the most authentic hadith collection and it damn well is in the Qur’an and Shari’ah. Suck it up, schmucks!

As Moe tells the story, Moses and a supernaturally instructed traveling companion met a young boy whom the companion murdered. Moses questioned the act and was told that the boy was an infidel who would dishonor his parents. Allah would give them a better replacement for him. In Islamic law, there are several acts not subject to retaliation. A Muslim cannot be executed for killing his child or grandchild.

18:74. Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, he (Khidr) killed him. Mûsa (Moses) said: “Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none? Verily, you have committed a thing “Nukra” (a great Munkar – prohibited, evil, dreadful thing)!”

18:80. “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.

18:81. “So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and near to mercy.

01.2 The following are not subject to retaliation: …

(4) a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring;

That leaves female genital mutilation, which is not in the Qur’an, but is in the hadith and Shari’ah.

Sinan Abu Dawud Book 41, Number 5251:

Narrated Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah:

A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said to her: Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.


e4.3 Circumcision is obligatory (0: for both men and women. For men it consists of removing the prepuce from the penis, and for women, removing the prepuce (Ar. bazr) of the clitoris (n: not the clitoris itself, as some mistakenly assert). (A: Hanbalis hold that circumcision of women is not obligatory but sunna, while Hanafis consider it a mere courtesy to the husband.)

Muslims must silence Ms. Ali because she might expose these facts which, if widely known, would be fatal to Islam.

Maryam Namazie: Women’s Liberation in Iran



John R. Houk
© January 26, 2010


I have no idea how Iranian born Maryam Namazie found the particular email I use for research. The title of her email almost had me send it to the old spam box. I did a quick scan of the subject and my first perusal only saw “Liberation of Women.”

Okay so I am a tiny bit of a chauvinist or so my oldest daughter would tell me. My thoughts were on Leftist feminism which includes pro-abortion and a denigration of Christianity. Anyway just before I began to click the spam button I also noticed the words “in Iran.” So I thought, “Hmm … Maybe I should give this email another glance.”

The email title is “Support the Manifesto of Liberation of Women in Iran”. The email is actually a re-statement of Namazie’s Manifesto found on an Iran women’s equal rights website. The actual Manifesto is entitled, “Manifesto of Liberation of Women in Iran.”

Actually I have little idea where Namazie’s ethics and ideology except her biography claims she has a prominent atheistic blog and that is associated with some organization that is simultaneously anti-US militarism and anti-Islamic Terrorism. These terms seems to indicate a bit of a Leftist anti-American sentiment, BUT with an anti-Islamic-Terrorist Iranian regime sentiment as well.

Because of the latter I am going to post her Manifesto as delivered in the email. Anything that is publicly anti-Iranian regime and anti-radical Islamic is worth the pitch (for the moment). I am guessing Maryam Namazie is on an increasing hit list aimed at Muslim apostates. That makes her brave in the politically correct West which fears to name the obvious for fear of insulting Islam.

The Manifesto of Liberation of Women selling point is centered on the Iranian authorities’ murder, brutality and torture of Iranian citizens protesting the election victory of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The face of the Iranian brutality was a murdered woman - Neda Agha Soltan.

The very existence of the Islamic regime of Iran is incompatible with freedom of women. The Islamic Republic of Iran is a misogynist state, architect of gender apartheid and perpetrator of three decades of the most odious forms of abuse, discrimination and violence against women in Iran. A society cannot be free if women are not free. Without the overthrow of the misogynist Islamic regime, women in Iran will not achieve their rights. The Islamic Republic must go! This is the message of Neda Agha Soltan, the symbol of the ongoing revolution in Iran; it is the decree of the brave women who at the front lines of people’s protest have been challenging the entire Islamic state for the past seven months.

Thirty years ago on March 8th, 1979 in Iran, we freedom-loving women and men stood up to the reactionaries who had just come to power, with shouts of No to compulsory veil! Today, with the painful and bloody experience of three decades of gender apartheid, gender slavery and nonstop suppression of women behind us, we state even more clearly and forcefully, along with the young and progressive generation of today, that the Islamic Republic, as a misogynist state, as a regime of gender apartheid must be overthrown. We say that the leaders of the Islamic Republic must be arrested and put on trial for systematic crimes against millions of women, for crimes against humanity. This is the decree of the revolution in Iran. With the overthrow of the Islamic Republic we will lend a helping hand to millions of women in Islam-stricken countries who are prisoners of terrorist Islamic states and gangs and honour-worshiping, male-chauvinistic Islamic traditions.

Today, support for the ongoing revolution in Iran can and should become a vast international movement. March 8th is International Women’s Day, which this year bears the mark of solidarity with women and people in Iran in the struggle to topple the Islamic regime. We call on women’s rights activists and organisations to express their solidarity with the women’s movement in Iran, while remembering Neda Agha Soltan as the symbol of the revolutionary movement against the Islamic Republic. March 8th this year is the day of solidarity with the movement of the people of Iran for freedom!

We issue the following Manifesto of the Liberation of Women in Iran, and call on all women’s rights’ activists and secular and progressive forces to support this Manifesto and join up in solidarity with the people of Iran in the struggle to overthrow the Islamic regime of gender apartheid:

1- Prosecution of the leaders and officials of the Islamic Republic for crimes against humanity, including for thirty years of the vilest abuse, discrimination and violence against women in Iran

2- Abolition of all misogynist Islamic laws and all laws that discriminate against women; complete equality of women and men in all economic, political, cultural, social and family spheres

3- Complete separation of religion from the state, the educational system and all laws

4- Abolition of segregation of the sexes and gender apartheid

5- Prohibition of sighe (Islamic ‘rent-a-wife’) and polygamy; unconditional right of separation (divorce) for women and men; abolition of all laws which make women’s civil rights (such as the right to travel, social intercourse, participation in social activities, etc.) conditional on obtaining the permission of the husband, father or other male members of the family; complete equality of women’s and men’s rights and duties in the custody and care of children following separation

6- Abolition of compulsory veil (hejab) for women; prohibition of hejab for children; full freedom of dress

7- Abolition of all the barbaric laws of stoning, execution, retribution (qesas) and other Islamic punishments

8- Unconditional freedom of expression, protest, strike, assembly, organisation and forming parties

9- Immediate release of all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience

10- Freedom of religion and atheism and freedom to criticise religion.
