Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald asks why the U.S. is so willing to play the dhimmi for the Egyptians:
Egypt has so far received nearly $60 billion in jizyah -- Protection Money that the Infidel donor of such money is afraid to stop, for fear of the consequences -- from the United States alone. Why? Did Egypt need to be bribed into accepting the entire Sinai, its oilfields, its infrastructure, all put in place by the Israelis? Did Egypt in 1979, or 1988, or 1993, or 1999, or today, show any signs of fulfilling its solemn commitments under the Camp David Accords?
No? Well what about its attitude, as demonstrated in its government-monitored and controlled press, toward the United States? Do you find great gratitude for that $60 billion? Any gratitude at all? Do you not find, instead, all over the Egyptian media, the most murderous hostility, the most venomous antisemitism (including a television series based on "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion"), and the most sickening and predictable anti-Americanism?
How long should American taxpayers put up with the misreading of Islam by our rulers, who have given every indication of understanding Islam less well than many of those in the general population (a sampling of whom come to Jihadwatch), or not at all? We are under no obligation to respect their choices, or to believe that they "know more" about Islam and the Middle East than most of us. We are simply taking in the world as it is and making sense of it by taking into account the main fact in Egypt, as in the other Muslim countries: the fact of Islam.
Long ago, in his "Manners and Customs of Modern Egyptians," Lane noted that Egyptians would often begin the day with prayers of imprecation against the Infidels, prayers of hate. That was in the 1830s. What has changed since? A brief interregnum, when the British brought some modicum of efficiency to Egypt's government. And during the ancien regime of King Farouk, the presence of large numbers of Italians, Greeks, Jews, and Armenians helped to give a veneer of civilization to Alexandria and Cairo, with the Muslim masses either held in thrall as fellahin or whipped up by the Muslim Brotherhood to attack foreigners, Copts, and Jews. Then came the colonels, who overthrew Farouk, and primus inter pares, the bullying blustering Star of the Arab World, the deplorable Gamal Abdel Nasser. He managed to offend even that philo-Arab, that godfather of the Arab League, Anthony Eden. He also managed to split the United States, under that dimwitted "anti-colonial" John Foster Dulles, from its traditional allies England and France over the Suez business, when the slapping-down of Nasser might have at least delayed the day of Muslim self-assertion that has become, because it can, full-fledged Jihad using whatever instruments present themselves.
Why has no one called for hearings on the nature of our aid program to Egypt? Why has not a single member of Congress cried aloud about this little fact: though Egypt is a poor country, a small class lives fantastically well on the largesse that American taxpayers, many of them are living lives far more difficult than that led by the Egyptian ruling class, are forced to supply year after year? No aid comes from rich Arabs. It is not expected to. It is not demanded. It is the Americans and other Infidels who are now expected to supply such aid, year after year....or else. Or else what, exactly? Nothing could do as much good to get Egypt's attention, and make America less unpopular among the Egyptian masses, as to withdraw all aid from Egypt -- not merely to threaten to cut a small sum. After all, all it took was the threat to cut $30 million to get the Egyptian government to arrange for a new trial, and a new verdict, for Saad Eddin Ibrahim.
And here is one more thing for you to write your Congressman about. Egypt is a poor country. It receives more than $2 billion a year from the United States. But in the last full year for which there are records, 2004, Egypt stood third among all the countries in the world for the amount it spent on buying foreign armaments. It was third -- after China and India. Why did Egypt, a poor country, spend $7.5 billion on arms? Who threatens Egypt? Not the Sudan. Not Libya, that has just disarmed and whose ruler has other fish to fry, what with his pan-African schemes and dreams. Surely the Egyptians do not think that Israel intends to attack, now that there is that "Peace Treaty."
Could it be, might it be, is it just possible that -- Egypt is preparing for a future campaign against Israel, the Infidel enemy, the once and future enemy, the enemy with which a permanent peace, according to Islam, can never be made?
Is this a question that someone can please raise in Congress? Can someone ask the Administration to explain the American aid and what the Egyptians are doing with it, and the anti-American attitudes fostered in Egypt by the government and by the Egyptian elite -- attitudes which might be lessened among the masses if they did not think, correctly, that American aid simply goes to prop up a band of thieves at the top? Can someone ask about this, please? Because nearly 300 million Americans do not relish having sent $60 billion to a country whose government and people dislike or even hate us, and do not wish us well.
Is that so hard for our rulers and increasingly un-representative representatives, of both the 2-year-term and 6-year-term varieties, to understand?
Why give money to the enemy in Egypt?

Islam Enforced in Ontario?
An excellent article by Pipes that outlines the folly of claiming that all religions are equal. Next time the Mormons or the Scientologists drive planes full of people into buildings full of people, I'd like to be notified...
By Daniel Pipes
September 27, 2005
In 1991, the Canadian province of Ontario passed what seemed at the time to be an enlightened, multicultural piece of legislation. Called the Arbitration Act, it stipulates that if two parties agree to engage a commercial, religious, or other arbitrator to settle a civil dispute, the provincial authorities will then enforce the verdict, so long as it is in accord with Canadian law.
“People can use any arbitrator they want and can use a religious framework if it is mutually acceptable,” notes Brendan Crawley, spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. “If the award is not compatible with Canadian law, then the court will not enforce it. You can’t agree to violate Canadian law.”
Over the years, Jews, Catholics, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mennonites, and aboriginals, among others, made use of arbitration to settle family law questions without using Ontario’s court system. The system quietly worked. “If there have been any problems flowing from any rabbinical court decisions, I’m not aware of them,” observed the Ontario region chairman of the Canadian Jewish Congress, Joel Richler.
Then, in October 2003, an organization called the Islamic Institute of Civil Justice proposed the creation of Muslim Arbitration Boards (internally, it used Islamic terminology for these, Darul-Qada). As explained by the institute’s founder, Syed Mumtaz Ali, the boards, arbitrating on the basis of Islamic law, the Shari’a, would permit a Muslim to live according to Islam’s “complete code of life.”
A first news article on this initiative came out in November 2003; within days, prompted by WorldNetDaily.com (“Canada prepares to enforce Islamic law”), a huge dispute got going. A hitherto obscure Ontario provision prompted a sharp national debate and even street rallies in twelve Canadian and European cities.
Interestingly, the main opposition came from Muslim women’s groups, who feared that ignorant, isolated females would submit to the inescapably misogynistic Shari’a, a law code that permits parents to marry off pre-pubescent girls, men to marry multiple women, husbands alone to divorce, fathers automatically to win custody of children over certain ages, and sons to inherit more than daughters.
The anti-Shari’a campaign succeeded. On September 11 – after almost two years of public debate – the premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty, held that religious-based arbitrations “threaten our common ground.” He announced, “There will be no Shari’a law in Ontario. There will be no religious arbitration in Ontario. There will be one law for all Ontarians.”
His decision means that faith-based arbitration can continue to operate, as it did long before 1991, but the government will no longer enforce its verdicts.
Anti-Shari’a forces were, of course, jubilant. “That was the best news I have ever heard for the past five years,” said Homa Arjomand. “We’re still in disbelief. But it’s such good news. It’s remarkable,” commented Nuzhat Jafri. “I’m just thrilled!” reacted Tarek Fatah (before he began receiving death threats).
McGuinty’s decision has a catch, however. Acting on the correct premise that Islam must be treated the same as other religions, he determined that if Muslims cannot enjoy state enforcement of faith-based arbitration, neither can anyone else. Therefore, McGuinty said, his government would “as soon as possible” introduce legislation to repeal the Arbitration Act of 1991.
This side-effect prompted a pained reaction from those who would lose state enforcement of their arbitration decisions. Richler denounced it as a “knee-jerk reaction against the Shari’a issue.” Rabbi Reuben Poupko of Montreal added, sadly, “the Ontario government felt compelled to throw the baby out with the bath water.”
That Orthodox Jews and others might lose out points to an emerging pattern, whereby efforts to integrate Muslims into the West upset a benign status quo. Other recent examples:
French nuns for the first time must take off their cowls for identity card or passport pictures because of anti-hijab legislation. Likewise, French schoolchildren may not wear crosses or Stars of David to class.
Large populations – British underground riders, American airport passengers, Russian theater-goers – must undergo extensive security checks, thanks to Muslim terrorists.
Danes marrying foreigners face extensive restrictions to bring them into Denmark because of immigration abuses (the “human visa” problem) involving Muslims.
Santas, Nativity plays, Christmas carols, and Bibles are banned in Western countries so as not to offend Muslim sensitivities.
Unremarked by most Westerners, Islam’s presence has started to change their way of life.

Scratch a muslim - itch a jihadi...
Elstevo said
Who was responsible for 9/11?
Dalulla said
The oppression and injustice of the Foreign Policies of the United States Government against the middle East is responsible.
And by saying so I AM NOT justifying the act, because under no circumstance shall I by any means defend it. But I must admit, it was a result of pressure that was not and still is not being properly contained by the Foreign Policies. And till the United States Government minds its own business or show respect and justice towards the Middle East, the nightmare will continue to recur.
Does anything else need be said? (aside from the fact that she's another sack of islamic crap ready to blame the victims for the crimes of her vile religion. How surprising. How depressing. No doubt she also blames the children that were tortured and executed by her co-religionists in Beslan, Russia last eyar...)

Islam - evil on a stick
I have been conversing with a Muslim woman who has taken great umbrage with me pointing out the truth about islam. This continues the conversation...
Dahlia,
The facts are these:
On September 11th, 2001, many Muslims who live here and abroad celebrated the WTC massacre with joy and excitement.
As I have outlined with actual sayings from your “holy book”, the koran is full of hatred towards Jews, Christians, Hindus and all non muslims.
In muslim countries today, there is almost universal hatred towards Jews and great enmity towards Christians. In your country, Egypt, The Protocols of the elders of Zion (...a classic in paranoid, racist literature. Taken by the gullible as the confidential minutes of a Jewish conclave convened in the last years of the nineteenth century, it has been heralded by anti-Semites as proof that Jews are plotting to take over the world. Since its contrivance around the turn of the century by the Russian Okhrana, or Czarist secret police, "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" has taken root in bigoted, frightened minds around the world) was made into a TV series and presented as fact. No wonder so many of you hate Jews.
Every Friday, in mosques throughout the islamic world, your religious leaders preach against western values, express hatred for infidels and long for the time when islam will rule the world.
As the Muslim Brotherhood theorist Sayyid Qutb said: "The foremost duty of Islam is to depose Jahiliyyah [the society of unbelievers] from the leadership of man."
Or Syed Abul Ala Maududi, founder of the Pakistani political party Jamaat-e-Islami. He declared that non-Muslims have "absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God’s earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines." If they do, "the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life."
Commenting on the first self-immolation by a female Hamas suicide bomber, one of the organization's leaders, Mahmoud Zahar, had this to say: "the march of resistance will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, not only over the minarets of Jerusalem, but over the whole universe."
These are not a few kooks who have misinterpreted your faith, but rather the mainstream Islamic thinking which is pervasive the world over. THAT is why I believe that islam is such a threat to civilization – for too many of you want to impose this barbaric belief system on us. The freedoms and faults of our secular society are many, but we have no intention of turning our back on them and will fight to the death to preserve them.
I once read a quote which said: "We will not judge your actions by your religion, but will judge your religion by your actions”. Your religion has been judged as being a cult of death and a belief system that oppresses humanity. In short, it’s evil on a stick...

The mind of a muslim
I have recently been conversing with a few muslim women about what I believe to be the innate hatred of women in the koran, and the general level of disrespect that islam has for women. The response to me below was originally posted on an islamic blog. It's sad, funny, pathetic and frightening - all at the same time. It shows how little muslims from arab nations understand those of us in the west and what sort of propoganda they are fed by their state-run media. My comments in italics:
This comment is in response to your comments here and to your post about "Islam hates women".
Islam does not order anything about beating women for wearing hijab. Rather it is one of the God given orders and those who choose to follow do and those who don't, just don't but do bear it's sin just as any other sins committed but that does not belittle the good deeds and God's mercy, but sins do vary there are major and minor sins which is a sign of God's justice on mankind. It is a relationship between creator and creation one to one basis.
Besides what is it you people want?
For starters, we'd like you to stop killing us, hating us and terrorizing us
You have enough barely dressed women all over your country, why is it that u want everyone to be the same? Why is covering a woman's body bothering you so much? I honestly do not understand. Why do you not criticize Nuns for covering their bodies up, or an average American decent woman who does not like to show much of her flesh? What surprises me is sometimes they become a mockery and are made fun of, in schools or Universities or at work.
Really? I must have missed that lesson - perhaps I was off becoming a better infidel
Why is chastity something that is considered bad? Why is it that at some gynecologists before a woman gets married and is going for a check up prior to marriage and is a virgin is advised to go to a psychiatrist???
Who said comedy was dead? The women who wrote this is Egyptian - the same country that airs the Chronicles of the Elders of Zion as if it were historical truth
What is wrong with a woman that wants to protect her flesh from men who may desire her body? Why is it so wrong from our prespective?
In all cases even that has been brought up in the Quraan. God mentioned that the Jews and Christians shall never be content till Moslems abandon their beliefs. It is not really a surprise because more than 1,400 years we have been warned and told of exactly what is happening now.
This from an adherant to a religion that says:
"Not to make friendship with Jews and Christians" (Koran 5:51)
Allah and his messenger announce that it is acceptable to go back on our promises (treaties) and obligations with Pagans and make war on them whenever we find ourselves strong enough to do so (Koran 9:3)
"Fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem" (Koran 9:5)
Our God tells us to "fight the unbelievers" and "He will punish them by our hands, cover them with shame and help us (to victory) over them" (Koran 9:14).
"Until they pay the Jizya [a penalty tax for the non-Muslims living under Islamic rules] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued" (Koran 9:29)
By the way, I am not bias against Jews or Christians, no, of course not...Actually I have many friends whom are Christians, and only one actually who is a Buddhist from the US which is the case of many Moslems as well.
In Islam we are encouraged to be tolerant of other religions. hee, hee... No one is to be forced into embracing Islam since simply there would be no point to it! You claimed that Jihadists are attempting to do that which is besides the point.
The violence we are all experiencing today after 9/11 has been stimulated by the United States foreign policies.
And here we have it, the "its your fault we're killing you" argument. It would be funny if they weren't so serious...
What business is it of the US government to but into other countries affairs? Or is the US gov. the ruler of the world? I would like to add, I have nothing against US citizens, but it is the government and its foreign polices that we are all fed up of.
Who told The US to go to Iraq? or to Afghanistan? Look at the violence they stimulated. Injustice makes people pop out of their wits. You cannot expect the people to be silent any more. Who has been killing children, women and elderly innocent people lately huh?
The parents of the innocent children in beslan who were tortured and executed by muslims know the anser to THAT question
Do you think that most of your country's soldiers were happy being on these missions? A great percentage were not, the only ones who were, were the psychopaths that were in Abu Ghreib prison and some others, but I am sure minorities were in acceptance to this bloody war. There have been beautiful young men and women who would have rather served their country and went back home to their families and loved ones I am sure. I know they died in vain and this is not me saying so, it is your own people. Your own media. People got fed up from both sides yours and ours. No one wants war.
Too late. You should have thought about that before your friends drove those planes into the WTC
What about the mafia? What origin are they from? What religion do you suppose they are following or at least labeled with? How about the street gangsters and the street shootings that have been happening in your country for years and years. What about black women and children who have been killed with no mercy by racists? What did Islam have to do with those? Before your country's government decided to go to free people and fix things up, why couldn't they make peace on your own streets first? Why can't it truly protect a woman. Why does your law need articles about sexual harassment on such large scales if it were not taking place to a great extent? I am not saying it does not happen in our countries, but not in the manner or scale it does at yours.
Please. You are just being bias without understanding anything the way it should be. As many others, Islam is a very peaceful religion, but it is not a passive one.
No shit Sherlock!
There's more anti-Christian/Jew blather, but you get the picture...

A Great Adventure for Muslims Only
By Alan Caruba
2005/09/19
In mid-September my eye was caught by an article in my daily newspaper with the headline, “Muslim families gain their Great Adventure.” It was about a day set aside by the Six Flags Great Adventure theme park in Jackson, NJ for an event that was estimated to draw 15,000 Muslims.
“The idea”, said organizer Ashfaq Parkar of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) “is to provide a fun environment that adheres to Islamic principles.” And I thought to myself, why couldn’t a Muslim visit Great Adventure on any given day and have a good time?
The answer was that “The Azan, the Muslim call to prayer, will stream over the loudspeakers, instead of pop music.” The reporter went on to note that, “Crowds will take a break from the roller coasters and thrill rides to kneel and pray on tarps facing Mecca. Instead of eating hot dogs and pizza, they will feast on halal food prepared in accordance with Muslim law.”
So, at 1PM, 5PM, sunset and 9PM, “the rides will be shut down and the music turned off.” In some Muslim nations this is often the rule throughout the day. The organizer, Mr. Parkar, also pointed out that “Some Muslims don’t really like to go to a gathering where there is going to be loud pop music or where people are not dressed appropriately.”
Muslims are very big on proper dress, especially for women. A head-to-toe burka is the favored fashion statement throughout the Middle East. Only Great Adventure isn’t in the Middle East. It’s in New Jersey, one of the original thirteen States of the Union.
“For one day,” the reporter rhapsodized, Great Adventure “will transform itself into an Islamic-friendly theme park.” Turns out that Six Flags is “popular with religious groups, hosting Jewish youth groups and Christian organizations in the past.” If the goal of the Islamic Revolution is achieved, Six Flags will operate fulltime to provide the Azan, halal food, and any other rule some imam decrees.
What the reporter failed to mention in the course of the article is that the Islamic Circle of North America is a group that has been identified as having ties to international terrorism. ICNA is the subject of a Senate investigation into groups “which finance terrorism and perpetuate violence.”
One member, Imam Mazen Mokhtar of Masjid al-Huda in New Brunswick, NJ is under investigation for ties to a plot to blow up New York landmarks and is accused of operating an al Qaeda website. An ICNA campaign to help terror suspects was joined by a group called the Islamic Thinkers Society that in turn is connected to al Mahajiroun, all of whom are believed to support terrorist activities to advance the Islamic Revolution. It’s not like this information was not available with a fairly easy search of the Internet.
So I, like the other readers about happy Muslims at Great Adventure got a story intended to portray them as just another religious group out for a good time, just like the Jewish and Christian groups. Only ICNA is not like those Jewish and Christian groups. Those groups are not shot through with people plotting terrorist attacks. Those groups are not seeking to impose their codes of behavior on everyone else by flying planes in skyscrapers or blowing up innocent victims on buses and subway trains.
I was reminded of a report by Arab intellectuals that was commissioned by the United Nations and released in July 2002. It noted, according to an article in The New York Times, that the Middle East was “being crippled by a lack of political freedom, the repression of women and isolation from the world of ideas that stifles creativity.” Not unlike the isolation that requires taking over a theme park for a day in order to conform to the same religion that has rendered a large region of the world a place where ignorance and intolerance dominates to the point of utter and complete stagnation.
In America, we expect immigrants and those fortunate enough to have been born here to exercise tolerance for all other religions. We expect religious groups to refrain from plotting to take over the nation and impose their rules on everyone else. Most certainly, we don’t think of synagogues and churches as places filled with literature advocating the overthrow of America or where people gather to plot violent acts to bring about that goal.
Reading the story, it occurred to me that the reporter was being deliberately ignorant of all the facts regarding the ICNA because she wanted to encourage tolerance, understanding, and even good will as she took note of the many strictures required to turn the theme park into an “Islamic-friendly” place.
The sense of moral superiority expressed by the need to transform Great Adventure is the same driving force behind those Jihadists commanded to make war on other faiths until the “unbelievers” convert. And then I thought that lots of people in America and around the world do not have cause to be Islamic-friendly these days.

The lie that muslims love to believe...
Iranian TV: The Mossad Was Involved in the 9/11 Attacks; Jews Did Not Show Up for Work
The following are excerpts from an Iranian TV documentary, which aired on Sahar 1 TV on September 11, 2005.
Narrator: The initial reports talked about 6,729 fatalities. Soon, the number dropped to 3,000, and ultimately, somehow, it reached 2,800. After the incident, the Jerusalem Post published an article with the names of 4,000 Jews who had worked in the two towers and were missing. Later it turned out that only 130 Jews had been in the two towers and were killed. The absence of a large number of Jews on the day of the attack is one piece of evidence for the possibility that the Mossad was involved in the attacks. Furthermore, the technical complexity of this operation, the way it was carried out, as well as the possibility of obtaining secret and classified information in the US and the Zionist entity's record of attacking its own people in order to benefit on various levels, as well as the secret, deep-rooted competition between the Zionist entity and the US...
The Washington Times published a 68 page report about this, one day before the attacks of 9/11, which is one of the reasons to suspect Zionist involvement.

September 14th, 2005
After successfully helping to get Gaza for Palestine, Hamas' eyes are riveted on Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, chief city of David's ancient kingdom and future site of the throne room of the Messiah.
Gaza-based Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar Tuesday continued his volatile public relations campaign to stir up a fresh wave of anti-Jewish “Palestinian” violence in the wake of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and northern Samaria.
He insisted the “disengagement” was the result of nearly five years of concerted efforts at mass murdering Jews, and is confident Jaffa, Haifa and Jerusalem will all fall to Islamic terror in their time too.
“We will win in Jerusalem and in Palestine, the whole of Palestine,” Zahar declared during the largest Hamas rally Gaza City had ever seen, according to some reporters.

Religion of peace thirsts to kill again...
Al Qaeda video serves new warning
On the fourth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the United States has received a chilling reminder that al Qaeda still has the country in its sights.
ABC News has acquired a new videotape featuring the self-proclaimed "American al Qaeda." Officials say his name is Adam Gadahn, a well-known al Qaeda operative believed to be living in Pakistan.
On the tape, apparently reading from a script, he delivers a very pointed threat against Los Angeles and Melbourne, Australia.
"Yesterday, London and Madrid, tommorrow Los Angeles and Melbourne, Allah willing," he says. "And this time don't count on us demonstrating restraint or compassion. We are Muslims, we love peace, but peace on our terms."
The 11-minute long diatribe appears to have the same graphics and production techniques recognized by U.S. officials as part of a standard al Qaeda video.
Russ Knocke, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, said U.S. authorities were trying to verify the tape but "there's no specific intelligence to verify or substantiate" the claims and threats in it.
This most recent tape is aimed at American and British audiences.
"Don't believe the lies of the liars at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and 10 Downing Streets," the tape says. "They have dispatched your sons and daughters to die lonely deaths in the burning deserts of Iraq and the unforgiving mountains of Afghanistan."
Gadahn's family says just a few years ago, Gadahn was a southern California teenager who was interested in heavy metal music and the environment. But, his family says he converted to Islam at an Orange County mosque where he came under the influence of militants who took him to Pakistan.
Now he appears to be an al Qaeda spokesman warning Americans an attack is coming unless the U.S. stops its actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also attempts to dispel as rumours reports that Osama bin Laden is dead. He closes the tape by invoking the names of the 9-11 suicide bombers.

The religion of oppressing women...
Ever wonder why muslims seem to despise women? Wonder no longer:
WOMEN IN ISLAM:
Tabari IX:113 “Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.”
Tabari I:280 “Allah said, ‘It is My obligation to make Eve bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created her intelligent.’ Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid.”
Qur’an 4:3 “If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with orphans, marry women of your choice who seem good to you, two or three or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to do justice (to so many), then only one, or (a slave) that you possess, that will be more suitable. And give the women their dower as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, eat it with enjoyment, take it with right good cheer and absorb it (in your wealth).”
Qur’an 4:11 “Allah directs you in regard of your Children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females…. These are settled portions ordained by Allah.”
Bukhari:V1B22N28 “The Prophet said: ‘I was shown the Hell Fire and the majority of its dwellers were women who are disbelievers or ungrateful.’ When asked what they were ungrateful for, the Prophet answered, ‘All the favors done for them by their husbands.’”
Muslim:B1N142 “‘O womenfolk, you should ask for forgiveness for I saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of Hell.’ A wise lady said: Why is it, Allah’s Apostle, that women comprise the bulk of the inhabitants of Hell? The Prophet observed: ‘You curse too much and are ungrateful to your spouses. You lack common sense, fail in religion and rob the wisdom of the wise.’ Upon this the woman remarked: What is wrong with our common sense? The Prophet replied, ‘Your lack of common sense can be determined from the fact that the evidence of two women is equal to one man. That is a proof.’”
Qur’an 4:43 “Believers, approach not prayers with a mind befogged or intoxicated until you understand what you utter. Nor when you are polluted, until after you have bathed. If you are ill, or on a journey, or come from answering the call of nature, or you have touched a woman, and you find no water, then take for yourselves clean dirt, and rub your faces and hands. Lo! Allah is Benign, Forgiving.” [The Qur’an claims women are unclean and polluted—worse than dirt.]
Bukhari:V4B55N547 “The Prophet said, ‘But for the Israelis, meat would not decay, and if it were not for Eve, wives would never betray their husbands.’”
Qur’an 33:59 “Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and all Muslim women to draw cloaks and veils all over their bodies (screening themselves completely except for one or two eyes to see the way). That will be better.”
Qur’an 4:15 “If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to houses until death [by starvation] claims them.”Bukhari:V4B52N143/V5B59N523 “When we reached Khaybar, Muhammad said that Allah had enabled him to conquer them. It was then that the beauty of Safiyah was described to him. Her husband had been killed, so Allah’s Apostle selected her for himself. He took her along with him till we reached a place called Sad where her menses were over and he took her for his wife, consummating his marriage to her, and forcing her to wear the veil.’”
Bukhari:V5B59N524 “The Muslims said among themselves, ‘Will Safiyah be one of the Prophet’s wives or just a lady captive and one of his possessions?’”
Ishaq:593 “From the captives of Hunayn, Allah’s Messenger gave [his son-in-law] Ali a slave girl called Baytab and he gave [future Caliph] Uthman a slave girl called Zaynab and [future Caliph] Umar another.”
Bukhari:V3B48N826 “The Prophet said, ‘Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?’ The women said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind.’”
