Susanna Feldman was a 14 yr old Jewish girl living in Wiesbaden, Germany when she was accosted, raped and strangled to death by Ali Bashar, a young Iraqi refugee who was already suspected of another rape and violent robbery. Bashir and his family fled Germany back to Iraq (the place they sought refuge from!!).

Bad as this is, what I want to concentrate on is the propensity of Muslims to rape and generally mistreat women. Clearly we have a problem with these people which can only be addressed through education and social programmes. Muslims must be taught that their way of treating women is simply wrong and they must be retrained to respect all women despite what their culture and religion teaches them.

This must start in their formative years both in primary and infants school. Equally their parents have to be taught to raise their children in a more enlightened way which clearly means that those parents will have to be likewise taught new ways of thinking individually and through community-wide public campaigns.

There is no option if the rights of women are to be respected and protected from this scourge.

mhaze,

Essentially what you are suggesting is that our Muslims abjure the Koran and become, if not Infidels, at least non-Muslims.

mhaze,

Have you recently read some of the comments here on OLO
from some of the men who post here regularly dealing
with the topic of violence against women?

And you're only singling out Muslim men?

Males were involved in 82.6% of adult male deaths, 93.5% of
adult female deaths and 55.6% of child and youth deaths.

Is Mise,
If respecting women disqualified people from being Muslims then I'd support a complete ban on Muslims entering Australia. So, I suspect, would the majority of those Australians who currently identify themselves as Muslims.

There is nothing in the Koran which commands them to disrespect women.

Aidan,

You must have a different edition.

"Quran (4:11) - (Inheritance) "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females" (see also verse 4:176). In Islam, sexism is mathematically established.
Quran (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women." Muslim apologists offer creative explanations to explain why Allah felt that a man's testimony in court should be valued twice as highly as a woman's, but studies consistently show that women are actually less likely to tell lies than men, meaning that they make more reliable witnesses.

Quran (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]"

Quran (5:6) - "And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it" Men are to rub dirt or water on their hands to purify themselves, following casual contact with a woman (such as shaking hands).

Quran (24:31) - Women are to lower their gaze around men, so they do not look them in the eye. (To be fair, men are told to do the same thing in the prior verse).

Quran (2:223) - "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will..." A man has dominion over his wives' bodies as he does his land. This verse is overtly sexual. There is some dispute as to whether it is referring to the practice of anal intercourse. If this is what Muhammad meant, then it would appear to contradict what he said in Muslim (8:3365).

Quran (4:3) - (Wife-to-husband ratio) "Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four" Inequality by numbers.

Quran (53:27) - "Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names." Angels are sublime beings, and would therefore be male."

Muslim males have very low opinion of their own females whom they don’t trust - hence the covering up of them, something that is NOT a requirement of Islam, which asks for modesty, but not that women turn themselves into walking tents.

Muslims think of Western women as meat, and believe that they should be punished for their loose, provocative ways: so, they rape them. Rape is a violent, controlling action by misogynists - nothing to do with sexual gratification. The cult of Islam is about misogyny, violence and hatred. What do Westerners stupid enough to allow Muslims into our society expect? That they will suddenly change when they get here?
