Peace At All Costs
Islam and Feminism

A Little Logic, Please

Umar Lee:

[...] in the film Ayaan worked on with Dutch Filmmaker Theo Van Gogh (being murdered does not change the fact he was an idiot) when he told the tale of abused women and incestuous relationships with ayaat of the Quran mixed in as if this was something condoned by Islam and not something that occurs when people leave the teachings of Islam. That is akin to blaming a vegetarian for someone eating meat or a pacifist for someone taking up arms.

Yes, it is condoned by Islam. Sura 4, Verse 34 of the wicked Quran:

[...] As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).

So what if some non-Muslims hit women as well? How does that change the fact that Islam explicitly sanctions the beating of women?

The campaign of disinformation that Ayaan is on is not based on facts or reason but is a gimmick that exploits people’s fear of Islam and Muslims. In the tradition of African-Americans of generations past who would be brought on TV and radio to say there was no problem of race in America while the likes of Martin Luther King, Jr. marched Ayaan has filled the role of the Tom in the debate on Islam and now she is bringing her minstrel show to America.

Classy.
