Monday evening September 9, 2019, I happened to watch secular Muslim Asra Nomani discussing her recent experience attending the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) conference with Laura Ingraham on the Ingraham Angle. Ms. Nomani (below) displayed two books being hawked by ISNA at the conference, which featured appearances by Vermont Senator and Democratic Party POTUS candidate, Socialist Bernie Sanders, and Palestinian Muslima Sharia supremacist, Linda Sarsour. (Predictably, the Antisemitic Ms. Sarsour admonished Muslim ISNA attendees not to dare “humanize” Israeli Jews.)
The first book Ms. Nomani presented, “Rights of the Spouses,” consistent with traditional Islamic law, and specific Koranic injunctions, endorsed the Muslim practice of polygamy (Koran 4:3), and the license granted Muslim men to beat their “disobedient” wives (Koran 4:34). On p. 7, the very first statement under the section entitled MARRIAGE IN ISLAM, supports the practice of polygamy:
Story continues below advertisement
Allaah has commanded marriage in His Book (the Koran). He said (citing Koran 4:3): “Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if you fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one…”
Wife beating is sanctioned on pp. 51 to 53, with the imprimatur of both Koran 4:34, and a tradition (hadith) of Muhammad, followed by the author’s elaboration.
On p. 51 this excerpt from Koran 4:34 is quoted,
As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allah is Ever Most High, Most Great.
Support for wife-beating is augmented by partial citation of the relevant portion of this canonical tradition—which Muslims grade as “sahih”, “authentic”—on pp. 52-53:
Umar [the 2nd “Rightly Guided Caliph”, and companion of Muhammad] came to the Apostle of Allah and said: Women have become emboldened towards their husbands, he (the Prophet) gave permission to beat them.
Finally, Rights of the Spouses’ summary commentary rationalizing wife beating explains (on p. 53):
Why did he (Islam’s prophet Muhammad) allow hitting them? This is because when he the Prophet prohibited hitting women, when he prohibited hitting the wives, he completely restricted the hand of men. As a result, some of the women began to disobey their husbands. Thus, the Prophet permitted hitting them.
Ms. Nomani also displayed the classical manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller,” certified by Sunni Islam’s Vatican equivalent, Al-Azhar University as conforming to the contemporary “practice and faith of the orthodox Sunni community.” . Appropriately, Nomani highlighted the full chapter in this mainstream Islamic text on jihad, which urges Muslims to wage real world jihad against Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians as articulated by the Koranic verse 9:29. Under the heading) “THE OBJECTIVES OF JIHAD,” Reliance of the Traveller proclaims (pp.599, 602):
Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion (Islam)..The caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya; My note: from the etymology of the word, per Edward Lane, the great 19th century Arabic-English lexicographer, “the tax paid in lieu of being slain”)—in accordance with the word of Allah Most High, (Koran 9:29) “Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued
Moreover, given the time constraints of a television interview, Ms. Nomani could not allude to any of the following contents of “Reliance of the Traveller,” which institutionalize other liberty-crushing, discriminatory, and dehumanizing Sharia legal codes, and mores, for non-Muslims, as well as Muslims, including (pp. 608, 595, 610, 611,617, & p.59):
—“Dhimmitude”, enforced legal and social inferiority for non-Muslims who survive their jihad conquest:
“pay the non-Muslim poll tax Jizya (per Koran 9:29); being “distinguished from Muslims in dress, wearing a wide cloth belt (zunnar); they “are not greeted with ‘as-Salamu ‘alaykum“; “must keep to the side of the street”; “may not build [homes] higher than or as high as the Muslims’”; “are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, to ring church bells or display crosses, recite the Torah or Evangel [Gospels] aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feast days, and are forbidden to build new churches”; “If non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state refuse to conform to the[se] rules of Islam. or to pay the non-Muslim poll tax they are treated like prisoners of war,” i.e., killed, enslaved, ransomed, or possibly, released
—Muslims have no freedom of conscience—“apostasy,” and adultery are death penalty offenses, the latter specifically by stoning; dehumanizing punishments of Muslims should be enforced for theft, and drinking alcohol; and Muslim women should undergo female genital mutilation: “Leaving Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst….When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.”; “ the offender (adulterer) is stoned even in sever heat or cold…a pregnant woman is not stoned until she gives birth and the child can suffice with the milk of another”; the thief’s “right hand is amputated whether he is a Muslim, or non-Muslim subject of the Islamic state”; “the penalty for drinking (alcohol) is to be scourged forty stripes…it may be administered with a whip”; “Circumcision is obligatory (for every female)…circumcision of the female is by cutting out the clitoris” (section e4.3). (NOTE: The English translation by Nuh Ha Mim Keller, p. 59, disguises the true harsher meaning of the Arabic text by offering the following altered and bowdlerized English ‘translation’: “it consists for women, removing the prepuce (Ar. Bazr) of the clitoris (n: not the clitoris itself, as some mistakenly assert).”
This is the societal “vision” of ISNA—freedom abrogating, bellicose Sharia-based Islamic totalitarianism—which Socialist Senator and Democratic POTUS candidate Bernie Sanders validated by his keynote appearance at ISNA’s conference.

Muslims are spiritually-deprived SICK souls, who cannot LOVE, TELL THE TRUTH, OR CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES AND THEIR SATANIC IDEOLOGY, ISLAM. They believe that ISLAM should be FORCED on all people. THAT IS pure unadulterated EVIL. And, EVIL COMES FROM SATAN.
HOWEVER, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, gave mankind FREE WILL to choose whom he would serve. To take away that free will IS OF SATAN, not God.
IF Muslims and secular people do not find out God’s TRUTH for themselves, they will be annihilated for all eternity when Jesus returns. ETERNITY is not something you should be willing to gamble with. It is an absolute. It is final.

Islam is really attractive to the carnal man. The core of it is to kill, steal and destroy just as Satan’s core mission. They can only speak lies because their god is Satan, the Father of Lies. Their motivation is the promised paradise, a brothel filled with 77 perpetual virgins and little boys… whatever that means but for someone who wants endless sex with virgins, that must be something to die for… literally… in fact the promise is if you die in jihad you are guaranteed this brothel. All things considered haram (forbidden) on earth suddenly become halal (righteous) in “paradise”… it seems to me the things considered haram like adultery and being a drunken glutton are “haram” not because Mohammad’s Allah sock puppet says so but because God says so but in the promised “paradise” (aka hell) all things considered sin here on earth are considered good there… not that Satan will be able to deliver on his promise of “paradise”… that’s like the commercial from hell… literally… the bait and switch of epic proportions. How much more carnal can a religion be that says that when you die, you will end up in sexual ecstasy? And before you die, the more people you rob and loot, the richer you become.
What Muslims don’t seem to appreciate is that when they worship the greatest of all deceivers (as Mohammad’s Allah is described in the Quran), despite praying 5 times a day in their daily prayers not to be deceived, Mohammad’s Allah is under no obligation not to deceive them… meaning the greatest deception isn’t that the Christians are deceived contrary to their prayers but that they are deceived but think their Allah would not deceive them. Even their beloved leader Abu Bakr said, “Even if I had one foot in paradise, I would not trust Allah’s deception.” He was, of course, right about his fear. But he wasn’t suspicious enough to not follow Islam at all believing that what was promised might actually be true in the first place and not just whether he would be allowed into paradise or not.

Please forgive my bluntness, but this article reinforces in
my mind why I have concluded that the belief system that is Islam is not only basically
unmeritorious, but that the belief in their so-called GOD (Allah) is without
religious substance. By that I mean that their man made religion requires them
to be faithful to a so-called GOD whose directions are very often not motivated
by “goodness,” but rather violence towards both the female gender and non-Muslims,
and from my perspective cannot ever justify their calling their faith a
religion. Rather, it is really a philosophy that contains the kind of
directions more associated with Nazism, Fascism and Communism.

But Liberal women who support Islam deserve the treatment koran prescribes.Most women cannot act rational ways and must be discplined by their husbands as koran prescribes. Can’t blame moham-mad for it.
They are following their perfect man – Moham-mad. And if you dare expose truth about him they will keel you !
just like the jihadis in Indianapolis are doing http://bit.ly/2rVCN7E

I would wager that most “liberal” women who support Islam haven’t a clue what’s in any of their “holy” books.

God of the Bible is NOT one and the same with allah, false god of the moon. Islam is NOT a religion. It is a system of tyranny and oppression. See “What Islam is Not” and “FITNA”.

Correct.
allah derives from a series of lesser Arabic gods and translates directly as “the god”, but the historic line goes directly through the Canaanite god moloch which derives from baal. (note: non-capitalized on purpose) These derive directly from Satan – aka, Lucifer.
allah is the Anti-God!

Walid Shoebat, a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood said the name A’lah was among the Babylonian gods. Consider this (source: https://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/allah_deceiver.htm) Quran ascribes to Allah is “khayru al-makireen” which means “the best deceiver/schemer/conniver”
(cf. S. 3:54; 8:30).

As Dr. Bill Warner has pointed out Islam is 85% political system and 15% religion, a complete system for living. Shahram Hadian has pointed out that the book Reliance of the Traveller has the stamp approval by Al-Azhar University.The Qur’an is not the only book used contrary to some belief. Walid Shoebat, a former Muslim Brotherhood member, said allah was a name that appeared in Babylon.

An American Senator supports this, what was described? Better the world would…cease…..this course, than what is described above. One might ask of God, “Did we deserve this?”

If the Leftist/globalists/socialist/fascists do take power with the help of Islam, it will be interesting if Islam doesn’t end up taking power over the non-Muslims… who is whose useful idiot? Who will emerge with the ultimate power in that game? I tend to think it will be Islam because they know what they stand for and they have a “moral foundation” (not that their “morals” are moral but they are foundational) and thus will withstand those with no moral foundation.

Interesting perspective… can’t say I disagree with it one bit.
“Everyone with open eyes realizes that Socialism/Communism leads to poverty and starvation on EARTH!”
It’s too bad that there are so many whose eyes are closed. Now we have some Leftists who went to Iran to prove that they are all just nice people who would not her a fly. Time will tell if their attempt to test Islam will award them the Darwin Award or if they’ll be lucky and get their freedom back. That other bike riding couple and the Somali blogger… they weren’t so lucky. Maybe some day these blind people will realize Islam isn’t defined by what people want it to be but by their “sacred” scriptures… and by and large, the Sunnis and Shias are following their flavors of Islam… and it looks the way it does because it’s Islamic. And that’s no accident.
Those Leftists that went to Iran and got captured as well as the bike riding couple that got kill, these are all prime examples of the delusion/denial that the Left live under.

Where muslums have political power where exactly does islum exist without some sort of concomitant enforcement of at least some aspects of Sharia law? I’d propose separating Sharia law from islum is as ludicrous a concept as separating Jesus Christ from Christianity. Sharia law is what makes islam, islam.
