Is violence against women any more or less repugnant when it is conducted by Muslims?
|
IMO, it’s just as repugnant or more so since it is condoned throughout Islamic Law and Islamic society. Gender inequity and the oppression of women is rooted in the teachings of Islam and it’s disgusting…
The Prophet said, "After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women." (Bukhari 7:62:33)
"Men are overseers over women, by reason of that wherewith Allah hath made one of them excel over another, and by reason of that which they expend of their substance. Wherefore righteous women are obedient, and are watchers in husbands absence by the aid and protection of Allah. And those wives whose refractoriness ye fear, exhort them, and avoid them in beds, and beat them; but if they obey you, seek not a way against them; verily Allah is ever Lofty, Grand." (Sura 4:34 - Medina)
( أضربوهن (used in 4:34) Idriboohunna
Beat them )
Sharia Law:
m10.12 Dealing with a rebellious wife
…He may hit her whether she is rebellious only once, though a weaker opinion holds that he may not hit her unless there is repeated rebelliousness.
(Reliance of the Traveller: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law pg 541 & pgs. 506-553. Book N on Divorce is really interesting)

Should we accept and support misogyny, or should we look the other way?
