Rape and wife beating condoned by Muslim clerics.
SOME Muslim religious leaders are condoning rape within marriage, domestic violence, polygamy, welfare fraud and the exploitation of women, a report on imam training has found.
The report, by the Islamic Women’s Welfare Council of Victoria, says some imams perform polygamous marriages knowing that the second wife, a de facto under Australian law, can claim Centrelink payments.
It found that some apply sharia when it benefits men but not when it benefits women, and that they hinder police from pursuing domestic violence charges.
On polygmas marriage, the average Muslim male may have up to four wives -
And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphangirls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice.
Qur’an 4:3
Except of course the profit of Islam, who had between nine and eleven wives -
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet used to pass by (have sexual relation with) all his wives in one night, and at that time he had NINE wives. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 142)
Which means that Mohammad went against the laws laid out by Allah, but if you’re the one making this stuff up as you go along, you can do whatever you please I suppose.
Allah, via the Qur’an, also allowed for men to beat their wives -
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband’s) absence what Allah would have them guard. 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).
Qur’an 4:34
