Give Me Death before Burkas!
07 Dec, 2007
- Give me death before burkas!
Before
the current high-tech, news-around-the-world-in-the-blink-of-an-eye
age, I doubt many Americans would even know how the proverbial other
half of the planet lives; but now we do. We can read about it every
day, 24/7. We have pictures, videos yet. Even in some of the most
repressive regimes on earth, some brave soul with a laptop, internet
access and a cell phone/camera/camcorder manages to get the word
out, and blast it around the globe instantaneously.
And in my opinion, the ultimate oppression of our age, no matter how one cares to cut it, slice it, dice it, whatever, is hands-down the subjugation of females – from birth to the grave – in places ruled by this cockamamie Sharia law. Liberals may be scared to call a spade a spade, but I’m not.
So, I’ll say it again, Give me death before burkas!
In
what is just the latest outrageous example of Islamic lunacy, a
nineteen year old Saudi woman was gang-raped and then sentenced last
month to
200 lashes plus a jail sentence. Talk about blaming the victim.
Well, all I can say is peace and blessings be upon her! In my book,
a gang-rape victim deserves a whole heck of lot more peace and
blessings than the Prophet, who continues to inspire such barbarism
in the name of his religion.
In 2002, again in Saudi Arabia, a mob of very “religious” followers of the Prophet surrounded a girls’ school that was engulfed in raging flames, and refused to permit firefighters to save the young girls, or even to permit the ones that could to flee the building. The little girls’ crime? They had removed their head-to-toe coverings because they were schooled among only females. Because of their uncovered state, they were sentenced by the men to death by burning. Peace and blessings be upon those innocent little girls too!
When news leaked out that women were routinely having their fingers amputated in Afghanistan, under Taliban rule, for the crime of wearing nail polish, I personally could not have cared less whether a single, plotting world-class terrorist could be found in the entire country. The government that did this deserved defeat.
Germany, now home to roughly 2 million Turkish Muslim immigrants, is dealing with a wave of honor killings carried out against women by male relatives. And what are the "crimes" these women have committed? They range anywhere from "living like a German" to being seen in the company of a man to whom they are not married. Personally I think the big "A" on one's dress would more than suffice to get across the message. But these women are being gunned down in broad daylight by brothers, fathers and cousins. Peace and blessings be upon these women too!
These Muslim atrocities are cropping up closer to home as well. In 2002, an Ethiopian Muslim immigrant was convicted on cruelty-to-children charges right here in Atlanta, for personally conducting female genital mutilation (FGM) on his 2 year-old daughter. This father used a pair of scissors to excise his own daughter’s clitoris. Female genital mutilation was originally called “female circumcision,” but even the WHO rejected that moniker, because unlike male circumcision’s beneficial effects, females are actually mutilated and many contract severe, permanent maladies as a result.
The type of FGM specifically practiced and taught by the Prophet
is the milder form, and limits mutilation to the removal of the
clitoris. On the other hand, other forms practiced by Mohammed’s
followers today are so grotesque and cause so much permanent damage,
that only a truly monstrous God could possibly condone
them.
Whenever I see a woman wearing one of those hideous symbols of oppression -- the burka -- I just wonder how many beating scars or bruises or disfigurements she is covering. I don’t blame her for being brainwashed into submission, or even for identifying with her oppressors. She is, in my view, to be pitied, not scorned.
A friend of mine, a Secret Service Agent, spent a year in Saudi Arabia with his family, securing the American Embassy there. One day while his wife and daughters were out shopping, they were rudely accosted by the dress police, wildly shouted at in Arabic, and threatened with public caning for some innocent dress infraction. As they frantically tried to push escaping hair back in place, and make certain the hideous black things were still covering every inch, the male authorities laughed and screamed alternatively, while holding their beating sticks above the cowering heads of the women. When my friends told me of the incident several years later, they were still traumatized.
Last year, I met a French woman in our Church, who gave me even more insight into Sharia Law. Her story needs to be heeded by every American woman.
Michelle (not her real name) was born in France in 1970, to a Muslim couple who had recently emigrated from Iran. Her father was a university professor, and neither of her parents were particularly religious. Wanting their daughter to have the best education, they enrolled her in a Catholic school, where she converted to Christianity at the age of 16. This was evidently fine with her parents, but they were still sufficiently old-school to insist that she enter an arranged marriage at age 18. Michelle consented, she said, because they offered her no real option and she was afraid to be on her own at eighteen.
Michelle’s chosen husband was also a child of first-generation immigrants from the Middle East. He was already a medical doctor and 15 years older than she. According to Michelle, once the marriage took place, her entire life changed radically. Her husband was far more “religious” than her family had been, and immediately insisted upon complete subservience, traditional dress (yes, the dreaded black thing!), and began to beat her for the slightest infraction against his authority.
When she confided in her parents, she says they were saddened but refused to interfere because even they respected the authority of her husband under Islam. Feeling helpless, she submitted, tried to please him and bore him two sons. Her husband then proceeded to indoctrinate the sons into his warped view of women.
One year before we met, Michelle had finally summoned the courage to flee with her sons, she says, in the dark of night with only the clothes on their backs. Even allowing for exaggerations, Michelle’s story should be a warning to all who would give even an inch to this evil fanaticism.
When I queried Michelle as to why she did not report the abuse to French authorities, she insisted that once inside the Muslim community, there is no such thing as civil authority. The Muslim men, she maintained, rule with an iron fist, and threaten violent retribution to any woman who tries to go above them to outside authorities. This isn’t just one evil husband we’re talking about; it’s an entire communal structure of oppression.
Down to the nuts and bolts then, I must make this observation. If a Jewish or Christian man beats his wife, or otherwise abuses her, he does so against his religion, and his worship community. When a Muslim man does likewise, he does so in full obedience to the Prophet himself. It’s in the Koran. (There is enough woman-bashing fodder in the Koran for many future columns, but one of the specific admonitions to men to beat their wives is 4:34)
"Good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them." For any modern soul who doesn't understand the word, "scourge," it means to whip or lash. And people wonder where these barbarians get their crazy ideas. They are in the Koran.
As an American woman, blessed by God and the Constitution, that is all I need to know about Islam. People may worship whoever or whatever they please, and as long as they don't try to blow me up or force me into submission, peace and blessings be upon them.
But if they try force to impose their cockamamie beliefs, then give me death before burkas!

How NON Muslims can afford the "cult" of Islam any sort of respect, validity or understanding truly is, way beyond me. I genuinely see no redeeming feature of this "loving, peaceful religion" what-so-ever. Repression is its forte, violence cedes the mildest of criticisms and yet the liberal higher Archy of the "KAFIR" West subserviently affords it credence, Finds laws to silence opponents and meekly cow tows to its every puerile whim. Are we really to self destruct in such an unthinkable way?. Do women of the west, whom have struggled so long and hard for equality, "Support" what they will become under Islamic law?. They say every "leading" civilisation, on average, lasts approximately two hundred years before imploding with-in. Is seventh century Saudi Arabia really a great starting point for the coming dawn?. Liberals by their own inner design capitulate under duress. If Islam is to engulf the west, I too like Kyle-Ann-Silver would prefer extinction.

Women ,not only in the West, have earned their equality with men in all the fields with great struggle . It would be very unfortunate to fritter away these hard-fought gains by islam being allowed free reign in the civilized world ( that is non-muslim world) by cowardly and PC politicians who hypocritically bleat "islam is a religion of peace" and all is well with that rotten creed . Only if we strengthen our resolve to preserve our culture and not allow the Arabian Barbarism any room in our society can we face up to the challenge and repel this oppressive,cruel,barbaric,repulsive and bigoted creed called islam!

My dear Kyle-Anne Shiver: Girl do I love your writing style. You know what? I’m a man, 70 years and I adore women with guts like you and Oriana Fallaci (may she rest in peace) and Talisma Nasreen and Ayann Hirsi Ali and all the others who have the guts to shoot their mind to the world. Problem with Muslim males is their brain. You see their brain is very small and suspended between their legs. Hope one day all women of the earth will unite to form a matriarchal government and castrate all these Muslim male bastards. End of their hope for Allah’s whorehouse!

Ms.Kyle-Anne Shiver: The true ISLAMIC followers will be very glad and will go into raptures to give you death instead of BURQA - should you choose to live in any ISLAMIC Country like SAUDI,AFGHANISTAN,PAKISATAN or IRAN. Only the reactions and denouncements from the civilized world is a little hindrance for their evil actions of ISLAMISTS. If you give free hand to ISLAMISTS, it takes few seconds to silence you and put an end to your cries. You cant write,shout or cry - like this if you live in a truly ISLAMIC country...... Again the question is what is preventing the western world to tell truth , to stand for the moral, ethical,humane values, equality,compassion for the human family ? ISLAM is 100% intolerant, exclusivist,evil,fascist, cruel,wicked,killer, hateful,slavery, discrimination,inequality. Why the world is tolerating ISLAM ?- it is a sad story.

The truth of the matter is, these are perverted men who otherwise would never find the love of a woman. There is no "love" in the Islamic household. Love would dictate the unconditional protection for those we love. This is just not the case with Islam. Again, any religion which places its followers in chains and imprisons them is no religion at all. Isn't it amazing that Christianity does not place its followers in chains. People will serve Christ out of an honest love and desire to please him, not because they fear violence or death if they do not submit. I pray for those who are imprisoned by this ungodly cult, those who through no fault of there own they are stuck in the middle of this madness. You hit the bullseye when you asserted your thankfulness for the blessing of God and the American Constitution. Though, remember, we can lose that which we have been blessed with. The largest threat to freedom, is when righteous men will not stand against the evil around them. It is in the plan of Islam to take over The U.S. from within. Move here en mass and take it over through political strength and numbers. They just do not understand our way of life. They call us immoral and cowboys, etc. But, that every man in this country has the right to bare arms, we too would be under continuous threat of this menace. Yes, there is much evil perpetrated with firearms, but those same firearms have ensured that our borders have not been invaded by a standing army at any time since we defeated the British, and Mexico. Long live liberty, the woman is the most beautiful of God's creation....we are blessed the creator gave them to us.....thank Him reverently. To the Muslim that believes that America will submit to Islam, keep dreaming sinner. YHVH is God.......praise His name.

Dear " ", Regarding "Muhammad in the Bible:" this is a good example of how utterly ignorant Moslems are. In the guise of some bogus "Scholarship" this guy picks out a word in the Bible that appears on the surface (to anyone who does not know Hebrew) to sound like "Mohammed"... and thus pretends the Bible talks about Mohammed. Actually the word is "m'Chamedim" and means "beautiful ones". The root Hebrew word is "Chamed" means "beauty" or "Charm". This can be easily verified by picking up any modern Hebrew Dictionary. Its the same word then and now. The "im" ending endicates plural, which is used with Abstract Nouns to express qualities (such as beauty/charm). See "An Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Syntax", p121 by Waltke, where he mentions this very reference as as an example of a Abstract Nouns expressed by plurals. (He translates it "Charm"). But you can easily discount this idiot's assertion by replacing "Mohammed" for "lovely" in the translation : (Song of Solomon is a well known piece of allegorical poetry about two lovers) v.16 "His mouth is sweetness itself, he is altogether ***lovely***." Replace with "Mohammed", and it makes no sense: "His mouth is sweetness itself, he is altogether ***Mohammed***". Very silly, not to mention anachronistic, dont you think?

SHAZID and OSAMA - you Moslems are contradicting each other. SHAZID - your name is Arabian not Bengali !!! BURQA is 100% ISLAMIC - no other women wears ( puts on the Tent called BURQA ) except Moslem women. SHAZID - you are a Bengali Mussalman - naturally you have lot of influence from your ancestry of HINDUS - nay sanatana DHARMA. Note this. The words "HINDU" "RELIGION" were foisted on HINDUS ( actually called SANATANA DHARMA which means eternal values ) by outside invaders - Greeks,persians and western writers. Becoz in Greek and persian languages they do not have a letter for S ( SINDHU - people on the banks of or near SINDHU river) - so they called HINDU instead of SINDHU which in itself was not accurate. SANATANA DHARMA was never meant to be a religion - in the sense of Judaism,christianity,ISLAM . SANATAN DHARMA is not imposing from above, no proselytization,no conversions,not an organized religion like ISLAM & christianity. No heirarchical structure in HINDU DHARMA - like in ISLAM and christianity. SANATAN DHARMA is the most peace loving ( AUM SHANTHI SHANTHI SHANTHI Hi - born in peace. ) Both ISLAM And christianity were most violent ,death cults,fascist,intolerant with JIHADS AND crusades. No true ISLAMIC country which follows QQURRAN/Mo/ ALLA will accept a WOMAN as P M or President. If it happened in Bangladesh or PAKISATAN - becoz it was the positive influence of Hindus values - residual in Bangladeshis or now PAKIs. ISLAM will never allow a women to occupy above a man. ( Also world events have forced ISLAMIC countries to tolerate WOMAN P.M s. It is against ISLAMIC values - for a woman to lead. Even in a Mosque this will not happen. Moslem women are not permitted in Mosques as per QQURRANIC injunctions. SHAZID - the Moslems wear western dress also - eventhough ISLAM is waging war against christianity and hate all western customs !!!! ISLAM prohibits DANCE/Singing,music,photography,painting and many more. If you are following unislamic practices it is becoz you inherited them from infidels/kafirs,nonbelievers Kufrs - etc. what can you do ? SAUDI ARABIA AND other Moslem countries are real hell holes - most evil- they do not even help financially the ISLAMIC countries - even though they promote ISLAMIC terrorism in Madrassas,Mosques ,Deobandi etc. Note that ISLAMIC countries- with $100/ barrel crude are virtually floating in petroDOLLARS. On the other hand poor ,impoverished countries - like INDIA gives lot of money (100 Million $$ and more to Afghanisatan ,Bangladesh ). INDIAN Moslems get special treatment- building MADRASSAS,Mosques,HAJ , and many more .Moslems are a drain on INDIAN economy. Nobody in INDIA talks on all of this. If you have true heart,conscience, thinking power,truthful,integrity, and a desire,resolve to be a best human being promoting all best,progressive,liberal, democratic, freedom,equality then you will hate ISLAM - becoz ISLAM is backward,primitive, retrogressive, suppressive,oppressive, reactionary.violent,hate filled,bigoted ,intolerant,fascist . Look at any ISLAMIC country . Do you think the rest of the world should follow ISLAMIC countries ? Then there will be war, death,destruction, discrimination,killing, rape, animosity,ill will ,slavery ,jealousy - as ISLAM promotes all these evils.

Osama, you are showing the typical mindset of a Muslim. In Islam, women are to cover their body parts, because a woman who covers themselves is a decent and pious woman, who belongs to her husband only. While women who do not cover themselves are to be considered indecent and the property of all men.

Dear Shazid what are you going to proof? Just this Islam and Muslim is follower of Abraham. You are trying to proof this according to the Mullas teacings not according to Koran's writing. You do not have knowldge of Koran. First you need to know which god or God you worship. when you know true God then you are able to proof points of history. You as Mu-slim not follower God of Abraham you are follower of the god of Abram's parents. Open your Koran and read whole stories of Abram's life. you are not able to know this. Why? because your hearts are covered, your mind's are sealed. You are blind persons. Watch your self befor the Day of Judgement. Try to Divorce Devil in your worship.

Shazib, you seem to twist verse 4:3 too much. Here are the 3 most respectable translation:
"YUSUFALI: If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.....>
PICKTHAL: And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the captives) that your right hands possess. Thus it is more likely that ye will not do injustice......>
SHAKIR: And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans, then marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four; but if you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may not deviate from the right course."
The mention of orphan in this verse is unrelated (separate) and confusing. Quran is rife with such confusions anyway.
On the marriage/sexual partner part of the verse, Muslims can marry up to 4 women of their choice (not orphans mentioned in earlier sentence). If Muslims cannot deal justly with multiple wives (such as fail to feed them etc.), then one marriage is enough. There is no cap on the number of captives. Yusuf Ali in his translation deceptively add 'a captive' in bracket to make it singular. Muslims were killing the men in wars and taking their women captives (slaves). Whoever fell in their share, they kept them. Muhammad himself had at least two sex-slaves on top of 11 wives at the same time, while all his companions had more than one sex-slaves on top of their regular wives, during Muhammad's rule in Medina.
Muhammad never forgive anybody who broke the law, neither did he break it. When he did break an existing law, he created a new one to abrogate the old one.

Ms. Shriver, I understand your point of view of women in Islam but I am not sure if you look at the point of view of women under the veil. I am shia muslima and I am a syed. Some of my ancestry goes back to Iran and althought there are some women who may detest wearing islamic clothing, there are others who feel safe and confident. Married women protect themselves from other men because they are now married and don't need other men to look at them with roguish eyes. Single women wear the veil because although they may not be married it is a good protection from a man's advances towards her. Tell me, who would get the most bad attention from a man, a woman who is covered or a woman wearing a skirt and tank top? Western society has lost its spiritual morality and they will not be able to understand traditional customs. I am proud to cover myself because I do not feel it necessary to show myself off to a man. I'm 18 yrs. old and I am very close to Islam and Allah (swt). Not all muslims feel the same way about Islam but there are many who live better lives morally than those in the west. I am tolerant of all religions, races, etc. and I have met many kind people here in America who may not be muslims but have good hearts. Religion is a wonderful thing if you understand its meaning of leading a pure, honest, wholesome life but it can also be misinterpreted by people. Western women feel wearing a Hijab is a symbol of oppression and submission, and you're right. It means oppression from western society which does not understand Islamic culture because they are so used to having so much freedom. Submission, because we submit ourselves to Allah(swt) because He is the Highest Power and we our deeds will be judged by Him. Not everything in the world can be explained in words, some things are better left as it is and followed. They do not hurt anyone, so neither should you hurt them. Islam IS a religion of peace, but not all muslims will be good people, just like not all christians, jews, buddhists, hindus etc. are good people. You alone can represent your faith by following the best you can. May peace be upon all of you.

This nameless, faceless ISLAMIST ( could be ZAKIR NAIK ) to spread mis/disinformation/twisted ,convoluted interpretation.

ISLAM is hate - not accepting any other human value which is more liberal, more progressive, more ethical, more morally superior, ISLAM not accepting freedom, ISLAM not accepting democracy, ISLAM not accepting diversity, ISLAM not accepting peace, ISLAM not accepting nonvilence, ISLAM not accepting equality of women, ISLAM not accepting equality of human beings, ISLAM not accepting equality of all faiths, ISLAM not accepting kindness, compassion, mercy, ISLAM not accepting equal justice to all human beings. ISLAM is hatred, ISLAM is jealousy, ISLAM is discrimination against, ISLAM is ill will, ISLAM is negative theology, ISLAM is killing, ISLAM is slavery ( Mo promoted, practiced, encouraged slavery of all types) , Mo promoted cruelty, ( ISLAM is cruelty. ISLAM must be discarded ,flushed through toilet . ISLAM is sewage. World is a better place without ISLAM.

It is over 100 years now since the motor car was invented show me a Islamic country that can produce one ?????????? not taking into account other simple electronic inventions that the Christian west takes for granted. Here lies the root cause of Islamic frustration and hate towards the Christian west or it is basically pure jealousy. They the Muslims cannot stomach the humiliation of seen their countries been so backward so they use other excuses to fight the west & Israel under the pretext of fitting oppression. Note: This is a point missed by many experts who explain reasons for the Islamic frustration

That Koranic verse is misinterpreted/mistranslated - and the Prophet was against wife beating. I as a Muslim woman am not subject to this suferring and I don't wear the hijab or burka, and I am still doing fine. There are many imperfect Muslims out there who take security in the controlling part of Islam - they give a very tainted view of the religion. But Islam is actually against those very people who use it to get away with what they're doing. Study Islam in depth before you go making accusations, lady.

I am 16 and I wear a Burka and though i'm from a muslim family, i was the first to wear it at 13 despite my parents not wanting me to. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said "Actions are judged by intention". I agree that beating up women to put on their Burka wouldn't change their intention. But REAL ISLAM is all about intention. I wear it with my own will. Islam gives women many rights. In fact, the rights Islam gave women 1400 years ago are the same rights that women in the US got only a century back. As far as the Burka is concerned, it's to make women appear modest. If two women, one with a Burka and another with a miniskirt are walking down Manhattan at 3 am. Who is more likely to get raped? Ofcourse the miniskirt one. Islam protects women and gives them so many rights. I'm a muslim and proud to be one. GIVE ME DEATH BEFORE TAKING AWAY MY BURKA!!!! If anyone has any further questions regarding Islam, women in islam or Burka, please feel free to contact me at : arsa_syed@hotmail.com Though I am not a learned scholar, but with the help of Allah I will try to clear out any confusions you have. Have a good day. May peace be with you and may Allah guide you. Ameen!

Jesus's mother peace up on him, whom we muslems admire and respect covered her all body and hair the way muslem women wear their respected islamic hijab. Pictures from Abogharige jails were a drop from the sea of what todays christians humanity (brutality) towards humanbeings is clearly seen ( not all christians). I am a doctor i have never seen a horrible pictures of wife abuse as that i have seen in european hospitals. your hatered towards islame is clearly expressed by your imaginative ideas and the way u manipulated facts from islame. I have no time to comment about all your twisted personal ideas but my advice to who ever read this nonsense, dont take any thing about islame from an extremist like this.

I am a muslim. I follow my religion very strictly. And if you really trying to find mistake in a islam you may do so without understanding the context behind each every thing that is said in islam. By taking few example you cant say the religion is a wrong. In that sense i can take few example for any religion i can say whole religion is absurd. ISLAM Provides more rights to women then any constitutional law in the world. Let me say if America was blessed with good constitution by GOD himself then America will not have 50% divorce rate where people afraid get married or take responsibilities. Coming to your point and husband is not suppose hit a women with out a very very Good reason. And that good can only be either cheating her husband or being very unjust to some one. Even if you there is a such situation arises to hit her you were directed by islam to not to hit her so hard that there is a damage to her body. It has been told where to hit her and where to not. As said your not suppose to hit her on her face, Chest, Stomach, Private parts, wounded part of the body. Your only suppouse to hit her on her back and not so hard that it will pain her lot. Islam commands there husband to be gentle and be caring with there wife. I have never raised my hand on my wife till now only becuase islam dosent permit me to do so. Islam has been very detial on how to behave with your wifes. It has also gone in to description of telling if you wife does some thing unjust morraly then how to approach her step by step and vice versa for husband. In islam women and men were treated the same. Islamic constitution gives right of attaining inheritance from there parrent, husband. where as women in the world just got the right in 19 the century. if you would like to know everything in detail let me know i will provide you. But if your intention is to just degrade religions with out substaintional evidence dont reply back

Firstly, rape is about power and not about sex. Yes, a girl in a mini-skirt is going to be more likely to be sexually harassed depending on where she is. Also, bot western culture and eastern culture are oppressive to women in different ways. But your ethnocentric, western view makes you believe that your culture is the right one. And don't even pretend that the bible does not oppress women. Catholicism is VERY oppressive to women. Because of our society where women are allowed more rights than many other societies and because we are a Christian dominated society you assume that progression and Christianity are synonymous with one another. This is not necessarily so. Also, Islam is not a bad religion. Yes, there are many countries that are very unstable and have very oppressive practices that are practiced in them dominated by the Islamic religion. But let me point out that the Sharia and Koran are interpreted by men (the Ulema). Same with Christianity and men often dominate women. Religion is not the main catalyst, instead it is domination and power over women which is found in every society to an extent. Your blatantly RACIST, ignorant, and ethnocentric view of the world gives every woman in the Western world a bad name, including me.

I'm atheist myself but look at the muslims.. LOOK AT THEM FOR CHRISTS SAKE. They are murderous zombies infected by this plague called islam. Look at Saudi arabia, is this freedom? Look at the Taliban, is this freedom? No, it's SLAVERY, MURDER, OPPRESSION, INTOLERANCE, PERSECUTION, IGNORANCE, PEDOPHILIA, ABUSE, POVERTY, HATE, RADICALISM, ILLITERACY
