http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/News/Trifkovic/NewsViews.htm The media in the United States have been oddly fastidious in failing to report one aspect of last week’s horror in Beslan: that several Russian girls were raped by Muslim terrorists in front of their parents and classmates. The failure to report rapes in the Russian school was at odds with the eagerness of American journalists, a decade ago, to report ad nauseam on the entirely fictitious "rape camps" supposedly run by Bosnian Serbs in which Muslim women were allegedly subjected to similar degradation. That Muslim propagandists and their Western abettors should have resorted to this particular whopper is especially galling in view of Islam’s encouragement of violence against women in general, and its explicit blessing of rape of captive non-Muslim women by Muslims in particular. The behavior of Chechen terrorists in Beslan, disgusting in every gory detail by the standards of civilized humanity, was justified by the tenets of Islam and by the personal example of the cult’s inventor, Muhammad. Having established himself as the ruler of Medina, Muhammad attacked the Jewish tribe of Banu-‘l-Mustaliq in December of A.D. 626. His followers slaughtered many Jewish tribesmen and looted thousands of their camels and sheep. They also kidnapped 500 of their women. The night after the battle Muhammad and his brigands staged an orgy of rape. As one of the brigands, Abu Sa’id Khudri, later remembered, a legal problem needed to be resolved first: In order to obtain ransom from the surviving Jews for the captive women, Muslims had pledged not to violate them: We were lusting after women and chastity had become too hard for us, but we wanted to get the ransom money for our prisoners. So we wanted to use the Azl [coitus interruptus]. We asked the Prophet about it and he said: "You are not under any obligation not to do it like that." Having ethnically cleansed and robbed of property all but one of three Jewish clans in Medina, in A.D. 627 Muhammad decided to deal with the last, Banu Qurayzah. He offered the men conversion as an alternative to death. Upon their unsurprising refusal, some 900—exact numbers are unknown—were decapitated, one by one, in a ditch surrounding their encampment, in front of their women and children. Muhammad’s Einsatzgruppen worked hard: Torches had to be lit so that the slaughter could be accomplished in one day. The women, thus widowed or orphaned, were raped that same night. Muhammad chose as his concubine one Raihana bint Amr, whose father and husband were both slaughtered before her eyes only hours earlier. (Such treatment of the victims had been duly sanctioned by a prophetic revelation in the Kuran.) In his early years, as a powerless and often ridiculed outsider in Mecca, Muhammad had enumerated the series of temptations which could enslave human beings: The passion for women, the desire for male children, the thirst for gold and silver, spirited horses, and the possession of cattle and land (Kuran, 3:12). Once enthroned in Medina as the head of a theocratic statelet, he wanted to possess them all. Muhammad freely admitted that two things in the world, women and perfume, attracted him—so much so that he departed from his own laws in pursuit of both. Contrary to his own regulations he had at least 15 wives (some sources claim up to 25). The youngest was Aisha, who was seven years old when Muhammad—44 years her senior—"married" her. Two years later, 53-year-old Muhammad consummated this liaison and raped the girl of nine left under his control. The sordid story of Muhammad’s "marriage" to Aisha reflected a mind-set and a lifestyle. Rape of enslaved women came naturally to Muhammad. A Christian slave woman by the name of Maryah aroused his passion for nights on end, which provoked a rebellion in his harem. Divine assistance was, in the end, needed to restore order in the household, with the Kuranic verse duly advising Muhammad not to restrain himself from "that which Allah has made lawful" (66:1–3). Even more scandalous was the case of Zeinab, the wife of Zayd, Muhammad’s adopted son. Lusting after her, Muhammad ordered Zayd to divorce her and took Zeinab as yet another wife. The deal was soon sanctioned by another revelation from Allah: "there should not be any fault in the believers, touching the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished what they would of them" (36:37). These examples indicate that the status of women in Islam is comparable to that of the human rights in Cuba: theoretically exalted, deplorable in practice. The sources of true Islam—the Kuran and Hadith—provide the basis for theory and subsequent Shari’a practice regarding the role of women. When a judge in Pakistan recently sentenced a young woman to death for "adultery" by stoning after she had been raped by her husband’s brother, he had merely followed the Kuranic law. The fact the woman, Zafran Bibi, was raped was of no consequence: She was still guilty of "having intercourse outside of marriage." Violence against women is also condoned, even mandated, in Islam. Allah mandates that the disobedient wives are to be beaten (4:34). As the authoritative Azhar University scholars in Cairo explain, "the Qur’an bestows on man the right to straighten her out by way of punishment and beating, provided he does not break her bones nor shed blood." Physical violence against one’s wife is divinely ordained and practically advised in Islam. In Muhammad’s rendering of the story of the righteous Job, Allah ordered him to beat his wife: "Take in thine hand a branch and smite therewith and break not thine oath" (38:44). Some Muslim apologists claim that the Islamic teaching and practice is in line with the findings of clinical psychology. Beating is beneficial to them, we are told, because "women’s rebelliousness (nushuz) is a medical condition" based either on her masochistic delight in being beaten and tortured or sadistic desire to hurt and dominate her husband. Either way, beating is her remedy. So the Qur’anic command: ‘banish them to their couches, and beat them’ agrees with the latest psychological findings in understanding the rebellious woman. This is one of the scientific miracles of the Qur’an, because it sums up volumes of the science of psychology about rebellious women (The Australian Minaret, Australian Federation of the Islamic Councils, November 1980, p.10). Islam stands or falls with the person of Muhammad, a flawed man by the standards of his own society, as well as those of the Old and New Testaments (both of which he acknowledged as divine revelation). He was flawed even by his new law, of which he claimed to be the divinely appointed medium and custodian. The horror unleashed by Chechen terrorists on Russian children in Beslan, and the rape of adolescent girls in particular, is the fruit of Muhammad’s example. The problem of Islam, and the problem of the rest of the world with Islam, is in its claim that the words and acts of Muhammad provide the universally valid standard of morality and behavior for all time. Islam, in Muhammad’s texts and its codification, discriminates against women. It is extremely offensive. Those who submit to that faith must solve the problem they set themselves. Islam further discriminates against all "unbelievers." Until the petrodollars support a Kuranic revisionism that does not, we must go for it with whips and scorpions, hammer and tongs liked the article
Jonny I did not even read your post. (and maybe not even wondering if I should too) Spend more time on what you love and trust, instead of adopting destructive attitudes. You are talking about millions people beliefs. Be human, and humble.
to hell with being humble thats whats got us in this position in the first place millions of people believed in hitler, I dont see any difference in speaking out about mohammed actions than those of hitler. in beslan you had people who had been fooled by a liar into believing that they would go to heaven if they fought war against non-muslims, that idea came from mohammed by broadcasting the fact that he was a fake and a immoral man gives people thinking of commiting murder for him the chance to take another path whether they take that other path is up to them.

I´ve been busy latley and haven´t really had the time to post anything. We can notice a number of mistakes in this article in which you appear to be so much devoted to johnny. Nr.1 Rape is strongly forbidden in islam and the raper is among those who receive the strongest punishment. Nr.2 Not very suprising the author quotes the happening to the jews in medina, lets remember that the muslims were at first oppressed and had to live under hard conditons in Mekka because of the pagans living there. After a while had past, the call for migration hade come to due and the muslims migrated to Medina where they hade been accepted by the helpful inhabitans in Medina who also decided to accept islam, but there were a few jewish tribes living in Medina like banu Qurayzah. Banu Qurayzah went into a deal with the muslims that they would defend this city together if an enemies would come and when the pagans came with a great army to medina this jewish tribe broke their deal and helped the pagans tring to destroy the muslims. Because of this the prophet(peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) gave the verdict to Sa´d ibnu Muadh. Sa´d was the man whom the jews wanted to give the judgement because they knewed him and they were shour that he would plead on their behalf, instead he gave the verdict that all the men would be killed, their children and women taken as captives. This awful tribe could not be left alone or be thrown out from medina like another tribe but had to be totally eliminated, the one who goes around comes around. Nr.3 It further says in this article: "The passion for women, the desire for male children, the thirst for gold and silver, spirited horses, and the possession of cattle and land" Out prophet(peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) was not the man who loved the joys in this world. He was a man who lived simple and months could go passed in their house without fire being kindled(nothing being cooked), the lived and dates and small food. He was married most to widows and other women who had formley been married. You can find alot of hadith this, such as: Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) neither ate on a dining cloth, nor ate soft bread throughout his life. An-Nu`man bin Bashir (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I have seen your Prophet (PBUH) when he did not find enough of even the inferior quality of dates to eat and fill his belly. Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) went to bed hungry for several successive nights, nor did his family have a thing for supper for many consecutive nights; and their bread was mostly of barley. Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) mortgaged his armour for a quantity of barley, and I took to him some barley bread and rancid fat. I heard him saying: "The family of Muhammad never possessed a measure of wheat from dawn to dusk although they were nine houses (to feed).'' Asma' bint Yazid (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The sleeves of the shirt of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) reached his wrists. The prophet(peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) had been offered wealth and kingdom on the conditon of letting his mission down but he refused, does this seem to be a greedy man who claims prophethood because of wealth? Nr.4 I connot se how he relates these lies of his to the verse he quotes- 3.12? Nr.5 He did not have 15 wives , the author does not rely on the strongest reports. Nr.6 This woman who was killed beacue of rape was not a verdict following islamic law, if a woman is raped by force she is not to be killed. Nr.7 "Take in thine hand a branch and smite therewith and break not thine oath" , This verse is speaking of an oath which prophet Job(peace be upon him) took, it says in explanation of the quran : Ayyub, peace be upon him, got angry with his wife and was upset about something she had done, so he swore an oath that if Allah healed him, he would strike her with one hundred blows. When Allah healed him, how could her service, mercy, compassion and kindness be repaid with a beating So Allah showed him a way out, which was to take a bundle of thin grass, with one hundred stems, and hit her with it once. Nr.8 This article contains alot of mistakes and is also written in a very hateful style, what muslims commit(if these people could be called muslims) is not alwyas what islam prescribes.
yeah yeah yeah. like sane ppl cant have judgement by themselves. You said "nice things" from the koran but there are tenfolds things that "teach" cruelty. if you're good, you're good. end of story, no need to be brainwashed and end up throw bombs for the great allah
http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sinaawa10.htm Hi cab I’ve been busy to and didn’t notice that you had replied to my post sorry if I were to make it a law that all the Muslim women in Afghanistan were to be sold as slaves to non Muslims, and then those non Muslim owners could force them to have sex would that be rape it would be legal . But would it be rape Let’s take this further if we were to look at the current terrorism. Let’s say George bush did what Mohammed did to all the Muslims living in the west. I mean there haven’t just been rumours of Muslims helping other people to destroy the west like Mohammed claimed about the Jews he had murdered There have been lots of well documented cases of massive terrorist attacks planned or carried out by Muslims How would you feel if we applied Mohammed’s judgement to you and your family, would it seem just that we killed you and any of your male relatives cut your heads off and dumped you in some ditch, and then enslaved your female relatives and forced them to have sex with the people who killed you Is this the highest moral standard something you would expect from a god. I don’t want this to ever happen to you or anyone else by the way, it’s just an example. Id think this was a very wrong thing to do, I wouldnt say what goes around comes around The problem is people don’t generally say I’m a megalomaniac psychopath and I’m out to take over the world, and Im going to concoct a load of lies and excuses to justify the crimes Im going to commit. If you look at the personal life of Adolf Hitler or Himmler both liked simple food like porridge. Hitler used to always have holey socks that didn’t make him a good man What you need to do is some critical thinking
