Mohammed believed in women's rights, says poster campaign. Oh, really?
The Telegraph ^ | 6/18/2010 | Douglas Murray

But what did Mohammed mean by women's rights?

But what did Mohammed mean by women's rights?

This week sees the launch of a hilarious new campaign called “Inspired by Muhammad” (as we are now all expected to spell Mohammed). It claims to want to “improve the public understanding of Islam and Muslims”. It is being strongly pedalled by taxpayer-funded Muslim organisations. Which makes it another nice example of the British people being preached to and proselytised in an Islamic way, presumably at our own expense.

The site is well worth a visit. Its “Who was Muhammad?” section is particularly delicious. There are sections on Mohammed “the orphan”, Mohammed “the shepherd” and Mohammed “the husband”. There are, sadly, no sections on Mohammed “the war criminal” or Mohammed “the close friend of a little girl”.

But the campaign’s aim is clear. It is to alter misconceptions that we are told are held by a woefully ignorant British public by telling us all about Mohammed on buses and tube trains. A YouGov poll has been brought out to coincide with the campaign’s launch. Among its findings are that:

58 per cent of people associate Islam with extremism

50 per cent associate Islam with terrorism

69 per cent believe that Islam encourages the repression of women

Now how on earth could this be? Surely these figures must demonstrate the existence of an anti-Islamic plot! Or it is it perhaps because Islam is indeed very strongly associated with extremism, violence and the repression of women, as an observer of any Islamic society can see?

Yeah, the right to have sex with grown men at 6.
The right to get beaten.
The right to get killed, raped and mutilated and the right to shut up during it all in appreciation of their moon god.

Fletch: You fellas wanna read me my rights?

Detective #2: You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to have your face kicked in by me. You have the right to have your balls stomped by him.

Fletch: I'll waive my rights.

Mohamhead kept a stable of concubine slaves.

He was a pedophile, a rapist, an adulterer, a polygamist, and a slave trader.

When he took over a town, the women who were not fit for concubines were made work slaves and worked to death. The ones who were too weak or old to work were simply put to death publicly in the severest, cruelest ways in order to imbue the remaining populace with a healthy portion of fear for their new overlords.

Males from the age of 13 and up who would not recite the Shahada were put to death, usually by mass beheadings in front of a trench. Sons, brothers, fathers, husbands.

Doesn’t leave a lot of room for women’s “rights”.

The right to go without education or an honest telling of history so you don't know what a mess you are in.
Our own press and public schools have been doing this for only 40 years to make the electorate stupid and more likely to vote Democrat.

Mohammed believes women have the right to be beaten by their husbands

traded by their fathers...

and raped by any male smart enough not to have four (male) witnesses.

Mohammed also believes women are dirty,

holy

and have an obligation to hide their shame.

Islamist "laws" allow women to be murdered for small infractions by thin skinned husbands - ditto for female children.

It's a religion obsessed by control of women's sex organs - and it creates men incapable of creating anything beyond war, jealousy and hatred.

It’s a moon god cult of death and violence.

NOTHING about this looks like any of the other peaceful religions found on modern day earth.

The slave women in the picture isn't hiding her filthy shameful face. If she was in Saudi-Arabia they'd let her burn to death before letting her show that face. She should be whipped for the infraction... Obviously a whore..../s

OK....I like to break it down to the most basic simple elements.

If Mohammed was all of the things that has been stated on the above posts, and he is the founder of Islam, what does that tell you about that religion?

I will tell you what it tell you and not many people will talk about it out of fear of not being PC. It is a Demonic Religion.

Plain and simple folks.

The followers of Mo’ Hammie would kill the woman in this picture for not covering her face, for getting an education, and for having a job where she is around men that are not her family. Oh wait, she can just whip out a shirt puppy and nurse her fellow barristers.

Years ago I took a Middle Eastern history class. One of the assigned research paper topics was on how Mohamed improved the status of women. I was shocked by the title, but as I did research I did indeed confirm that Mohamed had actually improved the lot of women in his part of the world at the time. For example, he limited the number of wives a man could have to 4 (at a time, of course!). However, the truth is that the lot of woman was so abysmally poor that his “improvements” only brought them up a notch or two. By modern standards Islam's treatment of women is reprehensible. Any PR campaign that announces that Mohamed & Islam promote the rights of women is sheer propaganda, especially when it ignores the abuses of women world wide by honor killings and Sharia Law.
