Does Ilhan Omar know this? Does Linda Sarsour? Of course they do. They are being used in the U.S. to help soften resistance to the same sharia Haroon Sultan is discussing here, to make it seem as if it is less misogynistic than it really is. But the hijabs that they wear on their heads tell a different story: it’s a symbol of their second-class status and responsibility to prevent men from being tempted. Misogyny is deeply embedded in Islamic texts.
“‘Haram’ To Cast Votes For Women: Pakistan Ex Social Welfare Minister,” Press Trust of India, July 3, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate for the July 25 general election and former Punjab province minister Haroon Sultan has sparked a controversy by terming it “haram” to cast votes for women.
Story continues below advertisementHaroon Sultan, who has served as minister for social welfare in the previous tenure of the PML-N government in Punjab, is contesting elections from the National Assembly constituency NA-184 against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s female candidate Zehra Basit Sultan Bukhari, who is also reportedly his sister-in-law.
Addressing a rally in his constituency in Muzaffargarh, Haroon Sultan said he will follow the directions of religion and will abstain from casting a vote to any female candidates as it is considered “haram” (forbidden in Islam), The News reported.
“I will work under the commands of Allah and His messenger…and will desist from doing the contrary,” he added….
Voting is a constitutional right in Pakistan, but millions of women have been prevented from exercising their franchise by men using outdated customs.

Isn’t that why settlers came to America from N.Europe? To escape state-religions.Also to escape the crown.

So why are we funding these scumbags ?
Will they vote for Hillary in 2020?
They did in ’16. Why should ’20 be any different?
Is that corrupt, criminal hag going to run again in 2020?
Again, these Muslims tell the truth about the Sharia! The problem is we refuse to hear and see their consistency! Their texts are real & mean what they say, yet we nonMuslims think it is diplomacy as usual for them with us to play? We should cast them out, build our walls and say that we don’t want U in our countries or in our malls! Their views are not compatible with us so like a virus, isolate them, we must!
Let pakistan and every other islamic dung heap rot where it is. There is no point in trying to educate or help the willfully stupid.
Exactly MS.
You want to have a free country? You’ll have to do some dyin’ for it.
Better to make the oppressor die for trying to take away freedom.
The only female PM of Pakistain, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated and was repeatedly accused of being a zionist collaborator.
Muslims are paranoid!
Yes, and Malala’s book is still banned there, I think. And most Pakistanis despise her as well.
I don’t give a FFF about Malala — she donated some of the profits of her book to support Hamas. Just for the record the enemedia puts a very different spin on this story.

Does Islam teach that a woman is worth less than a man?
Absolutely. The only debatable point is by what degree.
Quran
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.
Quran (4:24) and Quran (33:50) – A man is permitted to take women as sex slaves outside of marriage. Note that the verse distinguishes wives from captives (those whom they right hand possesses).
Hadith and Sira
Sahih Bukhari (6:301) – “[Muhammad] said, ‘Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?’ They replied in the affirmative. He said, ‘This is the deficiency in her intelligence.'”

Well, it may indeed be against Islam for women to be in positions of power — but that does NOT make it right by modern humans standards.
