The Stoning of Iran, The Violence of Islam Against Women

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Iranian authorities have sentenced Sakineh Ashtiani to death by stoning on adultery charges. She says she was forced to confess to her crimes after being subjected to 99 painful lashes.



Islam is called the religion of peace, but to Muslims the peace will not come until the entire world is forced to live under Sharia Law. Violence to achieve that peace is committed in the name of Islam. Jihadist Muslims are gaining strength, gaining a foothold in Pakistan, Turkey, and various other nations. Meanwhile, Muslim enclaves have been planted in the west, to begin the long, incremental change of Islam's enemies into Muslim strongholds.

Sharia Law includes the death penalty for Christian converts. Sharia Law is the highest law of the land, and all of those moderate Muslims, wherever they may be, have done nothing to resist or condemn the global Islamic jihad being fought in their name.

There may be moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam - and the moderate Muslims are nowhere to be found.

In fact, the growing epidemic of jihadist violence is popular among Muslims worldwide, including those that live in Western nations. Violence is a part of who they are. Violence comes naturally, because Sharia Law, and the Koran, teaches violence as a means of gaining what Allah desires.

The teachings of Muhammad does not include liberty, democratic or republican forms of government, or granting to women legal equity. Muhammad was a barbarian who created Islam for political reasons, so that he may be a leader of conquest, and so that he may use religion as the ignition of devotion and mindless obedience.

We are taught to be sensitive to their feelings, yet their insensitivity, such as the push to build a mosque mere blocks from Ground Zero in New York City, knows no bounds. They are bearers of lies, deception, and double-standards, and the weak minded leftists that cry to their defense are nothing but tools for Islam's use. The liberal that cries out for religious freedom for Islam is the same kind of folks that were siding with Neville Chamberlain when he proclaimed the Nazi's aims as being noble. Our unwillingness to recognize the danger we face from Islam is a suicide pact, and Islam holds the fuse.

The best example of Islam's disregard for us, and the pursuit of freedom as is common in the West, is their treatment of women. Muhammad believed women to be no more than property, so his writings reflect that belief. Muslims lack a mechanism for bringing Muhammad's words into line with modern circumstances, following to the letter the Koran's teachings that "Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. . . Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them" (Sura 4:34).

Complaining husbands have permission to beat their wives. Complaining wives are simply criticized for complaining, and sometimes punished, for complaining.

The Hadiths by Muhammad goes on to include that "If a man invites his wife to sleep with him and she refuses to come to him, then the angels send their curses on her till morning."

Reliance of the Travellor: The Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law Umdat Al-Salik, mii.9. reads, "The husband is only obliged to support his wife when she gives herself to him or offers to, meaning she allows him full enjoyment of her person and does not refuse him sex at any time of the night and day."

The idea that hell will be filled with more women than men appears frequently in the hadiths.

In light of these traditions it is clear why Muslim men fit the stereotype of ones who hate women, and who treat women with suspicion, disdain and derision.

This is why men cannot be guilty of adultery, but women can be. Even in the case of rape the deck is stacked against Muslim women. The testimony of the victim herself is inadmissible, and any witnesses willing to give testimony must be by at least four male witnesses. Those four men, also, must testify that they actually saw the offender insert himself into the rape victim in order for the testimony to be acceptable.

Women who are raped are afraid to report it because without the testimony of four witnesses, her testimony is an admittance of adultery, and in turn could cost her her life - a Sharia court could then sentence her to being stoned to death for adultery.

In some cases the punishment is not always handed out by the court. Honor killings are also well rooted in the Islamic world, which means that a woman can be killed by her own family in order to prosecute adultery.

And it is at this point one realizes the double-standard, and how truly the left is nothing more than a mindless tool being used by Islam to achieve their aim for Sharia Law. In any other case the left would be crying out for women's rights. But when it comes to Islam they fall silent, and fall into line as Islam demands.

Evidence that part of our society are already slaves to the demands of Islam.
