The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127
The Qur’an likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used by a man as he wills: “Your women are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth as you will” — Qur’an 2:223
It declares that a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man: “Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as you choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her” — Qur’an 2:282
It allows men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with slave girls also: “If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly, then only one, or one that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice” — Qur’an 4:3
It rules that a son’s inheritance should be twice the size of that of a daughter: “Allah directs you as regards your children’s inheritance: to the male, a portion equal to that of two females” — Qur’an 4:11
It allows for marriage to pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures “shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated” — Qur’an 65:4
Islamic law stipulates that a man’s prayer is annulled if a dog or a woman passes in front of him as he is praying. “Narrated ‘Aisha: The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, “Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people).” I said, ‘You have made us (i.e. women) dogs.’ I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him.” — Sahih Bukhari 1.9.490
Another hadith depicts Muhammad saying that the majority of the inhabitants of hell are women:
“I looked into Paradise and I saw that the majority of its people were the poor. And I looked into Hell and I saw that the majority of its people are women.” — Sahih Bukhari 3241; Sahih Muslim 2737
When asked about this, he explained:
“I was shown Hell and I have never seen anything more terrifying than it. And I saw that the majority of its people are women.” They said, “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Because of their ingratitude (kufr).” It was said, “Are they ungrateful to Allah?” He said, “They are ungrateful to their companions (husbands) and ungrateful for good treatment. If you are kind to one of them for a lifetime then she sees one (undesirable) thing in you, she will say, ‘I have never had anything good from you.’” — Sahih Bukhari 1052
And in another hadith:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went out to the musalla (prayer place) on the day of Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr. He passed by the women and said, ‘O women! Give charity, for I have seen that you form the majority of the people of Hell.’ They asked, ‘Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?’ He replied, ‘You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religious commitment than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.’ The women asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what is deficient in our intelligence and religious commitment?’ He said, ‘Is not the testimony of two women equal to the testimony of one man?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Is it not true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?’ The women said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is the deficiency in her religious commitment.’” — Sahih Bukhari 304
Another statement attributed to Muhammad: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning.” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.460
“4 women who ran empowerment workshops killed in Pakistan,” by Mushtaq Yusufzai and Saphora Smith, NBC News, February 22, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Four women who ran empowerment workshops were gunned down Monday in a volatile area of Pakistan that was once a base for the Taliban, local police and the women’s employer said.
The team was hired by Bravo College of Technology in Peshawar to help local women gain vocational skills such as sewing in North Waziristan, said Fayaz Khan, the chief executive of the college.
“Is this the way to give back to someone for the hard work they were doing for the poor?” Khan said by telephone. “Their role was tremendous for the local community.”
The women were shot in an apparent targeted attack as they passed through a deserted village near the town of Mirali in North Waziristan tribal district, police chief Shafiullah Gandapur told NBC News.
North Waziristan runs along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan and served as a base for the Pakistani Taliban and other militants, including Al Qaeda, until 2014, when the army said it cleared the region of insurgents.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
The incident comes amid an uptick in attacks claimed by the Pakistani Taliban in the deeply conservative area in recent months and amid concern that the insurgents may be regrouping.
“North Waziristan tribal district has suffered badly from militancy for a long time,” Gandapur said also by telephone. “The security situation has improved but still we face a lot of problems.”
The Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, are separate from the Afghan Taliban but have a similar ideology. The group, which was formed in 2007, aims to topple the Pakistani government and to establish a government that is in line with their strict interpretation of Islam….
Infidel says
I’m sure the money we were gonna give Pakistan out of our ‘Covid Relief’ funds for gender studies in that country would have fixed this! ?
mortimer says
Yes, Bribed-en is no doubt giving cash to Pakistan with the proviso that they fire prosecutors who might prosecute Bribed-en bagmen.
Dems say: It isn’t CORRUPTION when WE do it.
J. Morgan says
I was against sending money to Pakistan, but these women were the types who probably would have benefitted from the $10 million the US sent to Pakistan for gender studies and a tragedy not just for them and their families, but for many women who were going to learn new skills, like sewing and to be empowered to start a sewing business. It seems the ‘men’ who murdered the women are mentally deficient and ungrateful.
gravenimage says
Sadly, I doubt that any of that money would have saved these women’s lives–unless they spent it on armed guards.
J. Morgan says
For sure, gravenimage. I’m sure no women will want to follow in their footsteps – without 24 hr. security. What a backward – stone ages – monkeys with machine guns – backwards Islamic country that Pakistan is.
tim gallagher says
From the neverending flow of reports like this one about the atrocities committed by the scumbags in Pakistan, which I only hear about at Jihad Watch, it all seems to be totally ignored in mainstream media (at least here in Australia), so thanks to Jihad Watch for that, I have to say that Pakistan seems to be one of the most primitive, backward and evil countries in the world. islam is a curse in all countries where it holds sway, but Pakistan surely is one hell of a primitive place, truly stuck back in the darkest of dark ages. Then again, maybe quite a few other Muslim countries are every bit as bad as Pakistan is and not one of them approaches being civilised and enlightened. Islam certainly keeps people in a backward and violent way of life. Murdering these women for trying to improve things a little is typical of Islam and the knuckle draggers who live the Islamic style of life..
gravenimage says
Tim, this story *was* covered by NBC News, which is the MSM.
But I agree, this is covered by the mainstream press all too seldom.
tim gallagher says
That’s interesting, gravenimage, that it was covered in the USA. I can’t recall the last time I heard any reports on the mainstream commercial TV station where I watch the news or the talkback radio station which I listen to. Maybe a terrorist attack which killed quite a lot of people in Pakistan might have been reported on, but I can’t actually recall a report recently even on that. I lose track because there are so many Muslim terrorist attacks in various countries. I must say that I’m not that big a follower of news these days as i do turn the news off and try to play music and write some songs or listen to and watch performers that I like performing music on youtube and also go walking to try to stay fit, etc. I don’t bother reading the newspapers and I suspect that they might cover some stories from Pakistan. I guess newspapers are dying out although one of my sisters still likes to read a newspaper each day. Jihad Watch provides a lot of interesting information on what islam is up, and I check it out each morning, so I am not all that concerned about what the mainstream media are reporting on. JIhad Watch gives the true picture of Islam I believe and doesn’t try to cover up its evil nature. Of course, I keep up with the basic local issues out here in Australia like everyone probably does in their own part of the world.
gravenimage says
Yes–I’m surprised this story was covered here. Glad to see that, though.
Walter Sieruk says
This terrible misogynistic news from Pakistan further confirms the truth revealed by Brigitte Gabriel in her book entitled THE MUST BE STOPPED. For on pages 171,172 it exposes that “Control of behavior and disregard of human life are key elements in Islamic ideology.” Furthermore the very next page informs the reader that “Woman in Islam are considered unclean ,deemed inferior even to dirt.”
Brigitte Gabriel is the founder and head ofthe lobby organization actforamerica.org
gravenimage says
Yes, and Brigitte Gabriel grew up around Islam and Muslims, and knows whereof she speaks.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
I don’t know why Jihad Watch feels a need to
publish this latest in Islamic atrocities.
Surely, MSNBC, CNN, and The New York Times will be covering this Islamic
massacre for the next month, or so. You can also expect a march on Washington by the Women’s Movement, led by Linda (the cockroach) Sarsour, demanding Joe and Kamila address this issue, because all women’s lives matter (WLM).
Michael Copeland says
Just a reminder …..the “strict interpretation” of Islam can only mean a strict APPLICATION of Sharia. There is not a non-strict interpretation of “Kill”. Kill means kill.

Pakistan: Muslims murder four women who ran women’s empowerment workshops
……………
These *poor women*. This is what Muslims think of women’s empowerment.
SomehowI don’t think these millions for gender equality are going to do much good in neighboring Afghanistan, either:
“US spent $787,000,000 on ‘gender equality’ projects in Afghanistan”

Good quote here.

he was called militant monk for opposing islamic terrorism. islam is promoted and supported by none other than western media and will demonize anyone opposing it.

The same is true in India. It is not just happening in the West.

Much of MSM and the left in politics should be tried for treason because that’s what they are, cowardly treasonous weasels.
gregbeetham says
These Muslim/Islamic obscenities don’t seem to attract much attention from the feminists in the West, is it because they don’t think they can do anything about it or is it because they give Jihadis a free pass to do what they like?
gravenimage says
I believe in equal rights for women and I condemn this savagery.
But all too many feminists are silent;
Jayell says
To suit the requirements of the ‘Great Prophet’s’ political ambitions, islam was designed to appeal to the most basic human agenda – collective survival and expansionism (to guarantee survival). To enable this, there has to be a clear (primitive) demarcation between gender roles where females follow their design manifest and simply produce the new bodies whilst males support them by (a) maintaining the necessary social infrastructure according the prescribed ‘religiously’ principles, (b) enabling a territorial expansionist strategy and (c) facilitating optimum population renewal/increase through the frequent servicing females by only the biologically strongest males (hence the islamic multiple-bigamy, so-called ‘temporary marriage’, legalised rape, etc.).
Whilst this obviously offends more sophisticated and advanced human societies, it will always satisfy the most base human instincts and thus find support amongst those are happy existing at, or cannot rise above this level; it legitimises the crudest procreative urges by allowing males licence to do as they please within ‘religious’ constraints whilst guaranteeing females material support whilst indulging their own basic gratification. This might account for the lack of female opposition to what might appear to be an ‘oppressive’ regime. As a survival mechanism, it guarantees success since it employs, but barely rises above, the tried-and-tested primordial primitive primate blueprint. As a blueprint for any other kind of human advance, it is a sordid passport to nowhere.
Goofy says
Women’s empowerment is antithetical to the teaching of Islam. This was bound to happen sooner or later.
I guess that pope Francis is fine with these exciting cultural nuances between the Abrahamic religions including “Love your neighbor” versus “kill your neighbor”. We surely worship the same god!
Goofy says
We often read about the cast majority of the inhabitants of hell are women (in spite of the fact that many work as perpetual sex slaves for men in paradise.
Paradise is commonly described as a gargantuan heavenly brothel designed to fulfil all possible carnal desires of men. Do we have any reference in the Koran to women in paradise and how they enjoy their daily life?
gravenimage says
It is not clear whether the Houris are supposed to be Muslim women or just celestial prostitutes. I don’t think most Muslims much care.

The Qur’an likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used by a man as he wills: “Your women are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth as you will” — Qur’an 2:223
HOW DOES THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY JUSTIFY ITS SUPPORT OF ISLAM when it does things like this?
WHY DO THE DEMOCRATS SUPPORT A COUNTRY that allows this kind of thin to happen?
