Subject: The Joys Of Muslim Women
In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year
old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the
marriage by 9. The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the
woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private
parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.
Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce. To prove
rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses. Often after a woman has
been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return
the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing)
to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at
will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.
The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an
hour (prostitute) at his discretion. The Shariah Muslim law controls
the private as well as the public life of the woman.
In the West World (America) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah
Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and
complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our
sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying
Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly
to the Shariah law.
By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a
slave under Shariah Law, ripping the West in Two. Author and lecturer
Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah
law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two. She recently
authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global
Implications of Islamic Law.
Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza
before immigrating toAmerica in 1978, when she was eight years old.
Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel. He was a
high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in
Gaza. When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad.
His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position
in Muslim society.
But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned
her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity
after hearing a Christian preacher on television.
In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it
is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries. For
the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on
the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed.
Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the
dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that
non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.
Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as
assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and
eventually in the world. While Westerners tend to think that all
religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two
systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims.
Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages
the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.
While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing
a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia
advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be
interpreted as criticism. It's hard to imagine, that in this day and
age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose
to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an
Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West,
such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.
While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance
over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow
an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt
and elsewhere.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to
elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do so... You
can look at how they have taken over several towns in the
USA..Dearborn Mich. is one... and there are others...
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this. It will
not be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! It is too bad
that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept
Muslims as peaceful.. some may be but they have an army that is
willing to shed blood in the name of Islam.. the peaceful support the
warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their
religion.. While Americas getting rid of Christianity from all public
sites and erasing God from the lives of children the Muslims are
planning a great jihad on America ..
This is your chance to make a difference...! Pass it on to your email
list or at least those you think will listen..

Why, we're so tolerant of other beliefs that if someone says, "Happy Holidays," by golly, I'll ram my tolerant fist down their throat to their cold, black heart!
"It is amazing and alarming how many of our
sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying
Muslim men"
Only four paragraph to THEY'RE TAKING OUR WIMMINS.
While some of the issues discussed in this "the sky is falling" screed are true in SOME muslim cultures, the author is still pretty ignorant about the Muslim religion & culture and how it is practiced in different countries.
Most likely another offshoot of some rightwing think tank pushing out the meme that we're all gonna die because de muslins is coming...
It's sad how they push out hate towards all things Muslim without any clear understanding of it or the people who practice this religion. But unsurprising that righwingers, who exhibit the most vitriolic forms of racism & intolerance & judgementalism, would lap this junk up.
Stupid is as stupid does.
This reads like some redneck's 8th grade "research" essay.
"The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy."
.... the "private parts of the woman"? Seriously?
So. Full. Of. Bologna.
So, while some of this may be true in some societies (though much of it sounds trumped-up), there is absolutely no way that it could apply to women in America, because we are under *American* law here.
Now, they could certainl try, and they could be abusive etc. - but when it comes to *law*, there is only one and it isn't Sharia.
Plus, it just reads like an overblown nightmare story, dimestore novel. Goodness.
What an astonishing amount of crap packed into a relatively small space.
I hope that the juvenile writing style tips most people off that this is a total load of hooey.
Regarding the last part: "In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to
elect the President by themselves!"--they've been saying such nonsense about Europe for at least fifteen years and guess what. Europe is about 3% Muslim. The United is less than 2% Muslim and possibly less than 1% Muslim.
I'll bet anyone a Coke right now that the US is less than 5% Muslim in 2030.
I have many Muslim friends, several of whom are women. They are from different countries. These women would find this both ridiculous and utterly offensive.
As others have said, some of this happens in some countries, but Christians are also known to abuse their wives & kids, both in the USA and elsewhere. And many of those same Christians (not speaking for ALL Christians) adhere to the concept that men are "next to God," and women are subservient to men. So if a man decides to beat the crap out of his wife, why that's just fine.
It's only recently that US laws and law enforcement agencies have been more aggressive in intervening in spousal abuse situaions, and in this down economy, one of the first things to lose funding are shelters catering to women abused by their spouse, many of whom need protection from being murdered by their husbands.
This kind of abuse, sadly, goes on everywhere & across all socio-economic strata. To point a giant finger of blame at one religion is just bullshit.
Nonie Darwish is entitled to her opinion, and she has spoken out about these issues, it is true. However, it is one woman's opinion, and as I stated, I have Muslim female friends who do not agree with her viewpoint.
Trust wingers to take one opinion and blow it up out of all proportion. It's highly doubtful that Sharia law will ever be imposed in the USA or other westernized nations.
I was a Muslim for about 12 years. What this essay says is 99% true. Marriage in Islam is a business deal, a contract in which the husband assumes ownership of his wife's private parts. Everything that you are laughing at - saying "oh, that's just so ridiculous, that obviously can't be true"...sorry, but it IS true. Many Muslims don't study their own religion, just as many Christians read only select portions of their Bible. What Westerners call "radical Islam" is basic, traditional, Muhammed-would-have-approved Islam. Western tolerance is seen as weakness. The more we try to pacify the Muslims, the more pathetic we seem, and they will be delighted by our "open-minded" naïveté and willful ignorance.
@ Tigerlily
What this essay says is 99% true. Marriage in Islam is a business deal, a contract in which the husband assumes ownership of his wife's private parts.
Yes, thank god we don't have stuff like that in the US. Just purity balls and abstinence only education which stresses that women who aren't virgins are whores unfit for marriage.
But even if what you say was true of all muslims (and having known many myself, its not), what is your solution? Bomb them some more? Blow them to hell? Either we engage them as friends or we fight, and the latter choice leads only to more violence and anger.
