Islam and Women
Sura 4 verse 34:
Quote:الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ وَبِمَا أَنفَقُوا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ ۚ فَالصَّالِحَاتُ قَانِتَاتٌ حَافِظَاتٌ لِّلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ ۖ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوا عَلَيْهِن
سبِيلًا ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّا كَبيراً
Which means in English:
Quote:Men have authority over women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.


-Sura 4 Verse 11:
Quote:يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الأُنثَيَيْنِ فَإِن كُنَّ نِسَاء فَوْقَ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَ وَإِن كَانَتْ وَاحِدَةً فَلَهَا النِّصْفُ وَلأَبَوَيْهِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ إِن كَانَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَإِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّهُ وَلَدٌ وَوَرِثَهُ أَبَوَاهُ فَلأُمِّهِ الثُّلُثُ فَإِن كَانَ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ فَلأُمِّهِ السُّدُسُ مِن بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصِي بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ لاَ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ لَكُمْ نَفْعًا فَرِيضَةً مِّنَ
اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا
Which translates to:
Quote: And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child. But if they have a child, for you is one fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they [may have] made or debt. And for the wives is one fourth if you leave no child. But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt. And if a man or woman leaves neither ascendants nor descendants but has a brother or a sister, then for each one of them is a sixth. But if they are more than two, they share a third, after any bequest which was made or debt, as long as there is no detriment [caused]. [This is] an ordinance from Allah , and Allah is Knowing and Forbearing.
To summarize it: The daughter recieves half the inheritance of her brother.

-Sura 33 Verse 59:
Quote:يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَٰجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَآءِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَٰبِيبِهِنَّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
English Translation:
Quote:O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
Muhammad molested Aisha when she was 9.

-Sahih Bukhari 6:301:
Quote:حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ أَسْلَمَ ـ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي أَضْحًى ـ أَوْ فِطْرٍ ـ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى، فَمَرَّ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ، فَإِنِّي أُرِيتُكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُلْنَ وَبِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ، وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ، مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَذْهَبَ لِلُبِّ الرَّجُلِ الْحَازِمِ مِنْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَ وَمَا نُقْصَانُ دِينِنَا وَعَقْلِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَيْسَ شَهَادَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ مِثْلَ نِصْفِ شَهَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَ بَلَى‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَذَلِكَ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ عَقْلِهَا، أَلَيْسَ إِذَا حَاضَتْ لَمْ تُصَلِّ وَلَمْ تَصُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَ بَلَى‏.‏ [/QUOTEقَالَ ‏"‏ فَذَلِكَ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ دِينِهَا ‏"‏‏.[‏

English Translation:
[QUOTE]"I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious, sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked: "O Allah's Apostle, what is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He 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 of your intelligence"... "Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said:"This is the deficiency in your religion."
Quote:What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

Patriarchal Religion, which makes sense since these religions came into existence in patriarchal societies. They were influenced by the society they were created in.

During the pagan times or Al Jahilya Era the female god Ishtar was the main god, and Arab societies were matriachial.

RE: Islam and Women
My takeaway from all of this is that an Abrahamic religion treats women badly. I confess to being unsurprised by the information.

RE: Islam and Women
After being around Islamic forums for a while I can give you the explanations I've seen, see if I can remember off the top of my head.

That verse doesn't mean beat/strike physically it means beat them with words.

It does mean beat and of course you would beat them, it's like if you knew a crazy person was going to jump in a fire you'd have to beat them hard to stop them.

It means beat with softly with a tiny toothpick.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

RE: Islam and Women
"Strike" is "Strike".

There is no way around it. Please, certain Shiites and Sunnies, stop taking showers in oil and deal with what is written.
It's better this way.

So, a millinium of oil showering and gigantic gymnastic drills just don't work.

It is strike. In Arabic, when we want to beat the shit of a guy for calling our mama something, we say:

عالهدة يابن التييت.. والله راح اضربك ضرب
Translation:

after school; son of a TEEEEEET.. in God's name, I will beat you; beating!

Beat..
اضرب





Beat. اضرب

Oh different translations.. Why is the Sunni/Shiite Allah is so soaked in oil?
I mean he himself make such gigantic jumps around Arabic!

Why is it so hard?
So beat is not beat. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is knowledge.

Beat is not beat.
Jihad is not war.

Even Michael Jackson has more guts.





=========

Personally, I do believe the following:

-Yes. The Quran did state that beating your wife is okay, if and only if:

1-She beats you first

An eye for an eye is a concept given in the Quran; it's the only way to rule.

Let's be honest. What is more humiliating and disgusting? treating a grown up adult like a child like a disabled, or treating them like grown ups who resonssible for their actions?

Women are not children. They are not second class humans; they are not disabled. They know that they are doing.
A woman can kill. Lead armies. Torture. Send men crying in their blood.

Women are awesome. From their toes, to their heads. So sorry. But the sexist act is not beating them if they beat; the sexist act is to cut them a slack from justice as you would so for mentally disabled people or children.

Yeah..They deserve to rule and vote; too.

RE: Islam and Women
Now, when Nietzsche lets his character say "If you go to see the woman, do not forget the whip", there's lots of ambiguity. In this verse, not so much it seems.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the verse say "If you fear arrogance/rebelion from your wife"

Therefore the wife doesn't actually have to make an action, it's punishment purely based on the husbands emotions relating to his wife.  If he fears arrogance from her he enacts these punishments.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to.
