On the tragedy in Norway

It seems worth to say a few words about the tragic events in Norway. I wanted to express my grief but at the same time express my concern that the event may be used to silence honest criticism of Islamic Law, and to curb freedom of expression related to human rights violations against women, homosexuals, etc.

I came accross a number of excellent articles about the event. Worth reading:

1. Phyllis Chesler wrote  What Did the Norwegian Murderer Think?. 
2. Michael Leeden wrote The Myths of Oslo.
3. Daniel Pipes wrote Norway's Terrorism in Context.
4. Caroline Glick wrote Column One: Breivik and totalitarian democrats

Women's Rights under Islam

The manual of Islamic Law The Reliance of the Traveller, issued by the "moderate" University Al-Ahzar, in Egypt (the same one where US President Obama made a speec in 2009), states as Women's Rights the following:

1. Women must cover themselves. 
2. Women worth less than men.
3. Women’s inheritance: The share of the male shall be twice that of a female [Koran 4:176].
4. A woman's testimony worth half of a man's testimony [Koran 2:282].
5. Women are under the charge of men.
6. Women cannot leave their house without the authorization of their father, husband or guardian. If they leave, they need the company of a man (relative).
7. Women must be circumcised (have their clitoris cut out).
8. Women can only marry a Muslim (men can marry infidel women).
9. Women can only marry once (men can marry up to 4. Besides men can have sex with women "their right hand posses" [Koran 4:3] and can have temporary marriages = sex-on-demand)
10. Women can be divorced by any reason. The husband only needs to say 3 times: “I divorce you.” (practice known as talaq); Women needs the permission of husband to divorce him.
11. A divorced woman can only re-marry her husband she first marries another man and he divorces her. (unbelievable)
12. Wives can be beaten.
13. A wive can be raped by her husband (Fatwa 33597).
14. In cases of adultery or rape, a woman needs the testimony of four men [Koran 24:11-20]. If she does not prove her innocence (even from the rape), she is stoned. (About adultery and rape) (Adultery is crime)
15. Infidel women can be raped.

These rights are applied differently in Islamic countries depending on how secular or radical they are but every one of the different Schools of Islamic Jurisprudence agree with them (in other words, that is what Muslims learn to be the Law of Allah towards women).


Examples:

1. Nov, 2011: A "scientific study" by Saudi Arabia's highest religious council in conjunction with a professor from King Fahd University claims that if women is allowed to drive there will be an increase in homosexuality, prostitution, pornography and divorce. The "study" concludes that within ten years there would be no virgin women in the Islamic kingdom (Mail).
   Nov 2011: The Iranian government calls it the Family Protection Bill, but activists call it the “Anti-Family Protection Bill.” It would give men the right to take a second wife without the permission of the first, and it would enshrine a man’s right to have an unlimited number of temporary marriages, which can last from 10 minutes to 99 years. Those arrangements come from Shariah law and have always existed in Iran, but the Family Protection Bill would make them official (Fox News).
2. Oct. 2007: AMJA cleric Main Khalid Al-Qudah approves a Muslim's request for Islamic validation of polygamy in another religious ruling (fatwa 2134). Polygamy, he wrote:

   is permissible for different reasons, like:
   1- The sexual energy of men is more than that of women in general. So, in some cases, one wife is not enough to fulfill the conjugal desire of her husband
   2- Pregnancy and delivery negatively affect the shape and physical attraction that women have.
   3- World wide, the percentage of females is always more than that of males, eventually, there must be a solution, either to permit adultery and prostitution, or to allow polygamy
   4- One husband could take care of more than one wife at the same time; socially, financially, and even sexually as I mentioned above. However, the opposite is not right because of the physical and psychological capability that Allah the all mighty gave men.

3. Women's body is all vagina: a woman's whole body, according to several hadiths, is awrah-the Arabic word for pudendum (the external genitals). It is natural that the sighting of awrah arouses men and creates an uncontrollable sexual urge. 
4. Oslo: all sexual assalts that result in rape committed by "non-westerners"

1. In 2002, in Saudi Arabia, 15 schoolgirls died in a blazing fire when Saudi Police, part of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, beat the burning girls back into the building with a stick because they were not wearing the abaya. If any tried to help them they were warned that "it was sinful to approach" the young women (BBC).
2. In 2004, an Islamic Mufti in Copenhagen sparked a political outcry after publicly declaring that women who refuse to wear headscarf are "asking for rape." Apparently, he's not the only one thinking this way. "It is not as wrong raping a Swedish girl as raping an Arab girl," says Hamid. "The Swedish girl gets a lot of help afterwards. But the Arab girl will get problems with her family. For her, being raped is a source of shame. It is important that she retains her virginity until she marries.  (Copenhagen Post).
3. In 2006, an Australian senior Muslim cleric speaking at the largest Mosque in Sydney, spoke in support of jailed Muslims accused of gang rape. He blamed the "immodest" women who "sway" with their bodies tempting the men: If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it...whose fault is it - the cats or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the problem. (Mail Online).

Islamization of the World

The world becomes more and more "Islamic" as Sharia gains strength. It has been happening in Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, in a phenomenon called as encroaching Sharia or creeping Sharia. The commitment with the concept of freedom of religion spoused by these 'countries' has made it difficult to come to grips with militant Islamism. The very concept of religious liberty that makes it difficult to define them in a way somehow linked to religious belief.

In a deliberately dishonest campaign exploiting the concept of religious liberty, radical Islamists are actively engaged in a public relations campaign to try and browbeat and guilt Americans (and other Western countries) to accept the imposition of sharia in certain communities, no matter how deeply sharia law is in conflict with the protections afforded by the civil law and the democratic values undergirding the constitutional systems. A few examples:

• A premonition? Former Algerian President Houari Boumedienne, in a 1974 speech at the UN, said: “One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”
• A premonition? In 2006, Norway's most controversial refugee, Mullah Krekar, told an Oslo newspaper on Monday that there's a war going on between "the West" and Islam. He said he's sure that Islam will win, and he also had praise for suspected terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. He said: "“Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes,” Krekar said. “Every western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries are producing 3.5 children.” “The wombs of our women will give us victory.” (Aftenposten) 
• A warning from an Egyptian Coptic priest to Germans about Islam: you are next! From YouTube.
• Australia, May 2011: Libyan student recently arrived in Australia as a scholarship student, who sexually attacked 6 women, and a 13 year old girl a month after arriving in Australia.The judge found that his sentence should be reduced because he was unable to cope with the way Australian women dress. Obviously, the implication is that Australian women should don abayas and burkas, if they want to avoid being attacked, because Muslim men just can't control themselves. (AT)
• Russia, April 2011: Talgat Tadzhuddin, imam of the Central Spiritual Association of Muslims of Russia, called for the addition of the Islamic crescent moon symbol to the Russian emblem (FOX). 
• UK, April 2011: A British veteran, former soldier Andrew Ryan, was sentenced to 70 days in prison for burning a Koran in the centre of Carslile. He did that in retaliation to the fact that Muslims burned poppies during Remembrance Day 2010. For those who do not know, Remembrance Day is observed in British Commonwealth countries commemorating World War I, and the poppy is a red flower that represents the terrible bloodshed during the war (AT). 
• UK, April 2011: Hamas-affiliated International Solidarity Movement (ISM) successfully forced Israeli-owned cosmetics company AHAVA to close its London shop (AT).
• US, Apr 2011: One copy of the Koran was burned by an obscure Pastor in the countryside of the US. The US government considered this action “hateful, intolerant, extremely disrespectful.” (WSJ).  It seems some religions are more equal than others because the US government wastes no time to burn Bibles (CNN) and even specifies how to handle the Koran (DOD). 
• UK, Mar 2011: British government gave more than half a million pounds of taxpayers' cash to a controversial Islamic groups (24dash).
• Egypt/US Feb 2011: US journalist Lara Logan was sexually assaulted in Tahrir Square in Cairo to chants of "Jew! Jew!" (CBS) The US media first ignored it, until CBS finally showed an edited versions of the attack, blotting out the faces of the attackers! It seems that Western media has as deliberate, coordinated effort to ignore, minimize, and even excuse the violent, primitive, barbaric, hateful and murderous behavior of muslim fanatics. Maybe this behaviour goes againts the  "celebration of diversity" or the "celebration of multiculturalism" mantra.
• Gaza Feb 2011: Gaza's Islamist rulers hounding secular community (WP).
• Germany: Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan Urges Turks Not to Assimilate (Spiegel).
• UK, Nov 2010: During Remembrance Day ceremonies, as loyal Britons paused for the traditional two minutes of silence in honor of their fallen heroes, Muslims Against Crusades (MAC) agitators burned red poppies and shouted “British soldiers burn in hell.” (Sun)
• UK, Oct 2010: Hundreds of girls are bring forced by British schools to wear the Islamic veil. Islamic schools have introduced uniform policies which force girls to wear the burka or a full headscarf and veil known as the niqab (Telegraph).
• UK, Sept 2010:  A Daily Mail investigation shows that British citizens are involuntarily consuming meats ritually slaughtered and prayed over in good Islamic practice. (AT)
• USA, Sept 2010: A video shows a sixth-grade class from a public school in Wellesley, MA dragged by their teachers to the Roxbury mosque in Boston for field trip to see "Islamic architecture." There they go through a brain washing process including Islamic prayer. The Islamic “Dawa Net,” one Islamic organization that instructs on how to use the schools to inculcate the young, explains that public schools in America are “fertile grounds where the seeds of Islam can be sowed inside the hearts of non-Muslim students.”(NRO). See the video through PJM.
• USA  March 2010: A Muslim student wants to remove the words "Our Lord" from the Trinity University diploma. Founded by Presbyterians in 1869, Trinity has been governed by an independent board of trustees since 1969 but maintains a "covenant relationship" with the church. (Hat Tip Political Islam)
• CANADA 2009: Non-Muslim teachers, specially Jewish teachers, have decided to transfer away from schools where Muslim students harass everything that is anti-Jewish and anti-Western. The School Board does nothing afraid of hurting Muslim sensitivites.  As a consequence, French-Canadian students stop registering in those schools which are now virtually all-Muslim including the teachers and the principal (National Post).
• USA March 2009: Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that were printed in the two most common Afghan languages amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans. Troops at posts in war zones are required to burn their trash (CNN). Can you imagine what would have happened it Korans were burned? 
• USA Jan 2003: US official Department of Defense memo specifies how Korans must be handled: 

• Clean gloves will be put on in full view of the detainees prior to handling.

• Two hands will be used at all times when handling the Koran in manner signaling respect and reverence. Care should be used so that the right hand is the primary one used to manipulate any part of the Koran due to the cultural association with the left hand. Handle the Koran as if it were a fragile piece of delicate art. (emphasis mine)
