Rapes in Beslan: in Muhammed's Footsteps

The media in the United States have been oddly fastidious in failing to report one aspect of last week’s horror in Beslan: that several Russian girls were raped by Muslim terrorists in front of their parents and classmates. The failure to report rapes in the Russian school was at odds with the eagerness of American journalists, a decade ago, to report ad nauseam on the entirely fictitious "rape camps" supposedly run by Bosnian Serbs in which Muslim women were allegedly subjected to similar degradation.

That Muslim propagandists and their Western abettors should have resorted to this particular whopper is especially galling in view of Islam’s encouragement of violence against women in general, and its explicit blessing of rape of captive non-Muslim women by Muslims in particular. The behavior of Chechen terrorists in Beslan, disgusting in every gory detail by the standards of civilized humanity, was justified by the tenets of Islam and by the personal example of the cult’s inventor, Muhammad.

Having established himself as the ruler of Medina, Muhammad attacked the Jewish tribe of Banu-‘l-Mustaliq in December of A.D. 626. His followers slaughtered many Jewish tribesmen and looted thousands of their camels and sheep. They also kidnapped 500 of their women. The night after the battle Muhammad and his brigands staged an orgy of rape. As one of the brigands, Abu Sa’id Khudri, later remembered, a legal problem needed to be resolved first: In order to obtain ransom from the surviving Jews for the captive women, Muslims had pledged not to violate them:

We were lusting after women and chastity had become too hard for us, but we wanted to get the ransom money for our prisoners. So we wanted to use the Azl [coitus interruptus]. We asked the Prophet about it and he said: "You are not under any obligation not to do it like that."

Having ethnically cleansed and robbed of property all but one of three Jewish clans in Medina, in A.D. 627 Muhammad decided to deal with the last, Banu Qurayzah. He offered the men conversion as an alternative to death. Upon their unsurprising refusal, some 900—exact numbers are unknown—were decapitated, one by one, in a ditch surrounding their encampment, in front of their women and children. Muhammad’s Einsatzgruppen worked hard: Torches had to be lit so that the slaughter could be accomplished in one day. The women, thus widowed or orphaned, were raped that same night. Muhammad chose as his concubine one Raihana bint Amr, whose father and husband were both slaughtered before her eyes only hours earlier. (Such treatment of the victims had been duly sanctioned by a prophetic revelation in the Kuran.)

In his early years, as a powerless and often ridiculed outsider in Mecca, Muhammad had enumerated the series of temptations which could enslave human beings: The passion for women, the desire for male children, the thirst for gold and silver, spirited horses, and the possession of cattle and land (Kuran, 3:12). Once enthroned in Medina as the head of a theocratic statelet, he wanted to possess them all. Muhammad freely admitted that two things in the world, women and perfume, attracted him—so much so that he departed from his own laws in pursuit of both. Contrary to his own regulations he had at least 15 wives (some sources claim up to 25). The youngest was Aisha, who was seven years old when Muhammad—44 years her senior—"married" her. Two years later, 53-year-old Muhammad consummated this liaison and raped the girl of nine left under his control.

The sordid story of Muhammad’s "marriage" to Aisha reflected a mind-set and a lifestyle. Rape of enslaved women came naturally to Muhammad. A Christian slave woman by the name of Maryah aroused his passion for nights on end, which provoked a rebellion in his harem. Divine assistance was, in the end, needed to restore order in the household, with the Kuranic verse duly advising Muhammad not to restrain himself from "that which Allah has made lawful" (66:1–3).

Even more scandalous was the case of Zeinab, the wife of Zayd, Muhammad’s adopted son. Lusting after her, Muhammad ordered Zayd to divorce her and took Zeinab as yet another wife. The deal was soon sanctioned by another revelation from Allah: "there should not be any fault in the believers, touching the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished what they would of them" (36:37).

These examples indicate that the status of women in Islam is comparable to that of the human rights in Cuba: theoretically exalted, deplorable in practice. The sources of true Islam—the Kuran and Hadith—provide the basis for theory and subsequent Shari’a practice regarding the role of women. When a judge in Pakistan recently sentenced a young woman to death for "adultery" by stoning after she had been raped by her husband’s brother, he had merely followed the Kuranic law. The fact the woman, Zafran Bibi, was raped was of no consequence: She was still guilty of "having intercourse outside of marriage."

Violence against women is also condoned, even mandated, in Islam. Allah mandates that the disobedient wives are to be beaten (4:34). As the authoritative Azhar University scholars in Cairo explain, "the Qur’an bestows on man the right to straighten her out by way of punishment and beating, provided he does not break her bones nor shed blood." Physical violence against one’s wife is divinely ordained and practically advised in Islam. In Muhammad’s rendering of the story of the righteous Job, Allah ordered him to beat his wife: "Take in thine hand a branch and smite therewith and break not thine oath" (38:44).

Some Muslim apologists claim that the Islamic teaching and practice is in line with the findings of clinical psychology. Beating is beneficial to them, we are told, because "women’s rebelliousness (nushuz) is a medical condition" based either on her masochistic delight in being beaten and tortured or sadistic desire to hurt and dominate her husband. Either way,

beating is her remedy. So the Qur’anic command: ‘banish them to their couches, and beat them’ agrees with the latest psychological findings in understanding the rebellious woman. This is one of the scientific miracles of the Qur’an, because it sums up volumes of the science of psychology about rebellious women (The Australian Minaret, Australian Federation of the Islamic Councils, November 1980, p.10).

Islam stands or falls with the person of Muhammad, a flawed man by the standards of his own society, as well as those of the Old and New Testaments (both of which he acknowledged as divine revelation). He was flawed even by his new law, of which he claimed to be the divinely appointed medium and custodian. The horror unleashed by Chechen terrorists on Russian children in Beslan, and the rape of adolescent girls in particular, is the fruit of Muhammad’s example.

The problem of Islam, and the problem of the rest of the world with Islam, is in its claim that the words and acts of Muhammad provide the universally valid standard of morality and behavior for all time. Islam, in Muhammad’s texts and its codification, discriminates against women. It is extremely offensive. Those who submit to that faith must solve the problem they set themselves. Islam further discriminates against all "unbelievers." Until the petrodollars support a Kuranic revisionism that does not, we must go for it with whips and scorpions, hammer and tongs.

This is the type of information that the America public lacks. It would go so far in solidifying in their minds that they are right to have security be the #1 issue in this presidential campaign.

Kerry would unleash those murderer/rapists on the world.

Mutants indeed. Rarely is the term used correctly in my experience.

Thanks for the ping.

I would state that there is no need of any more evidence of the evil ...

I copy/pasted it to an email to my address book.... You are right.

I do not know what history there is between you but after a few posts I discern  some differences of opinion appear to exist.

I rather liked Ann Coulter's column three years ago, and I have no sympathy for 1 billion people who simply will not rise against their oppressors. One billion wrongs do not make a right, unless of course they are armed with Nukes and supported by CBS and the NY Times et al...

I am aware..others look away, they want "peace".

Chamberlain read the above statement in front of 10 Downing St. and said:
"My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time...
Go home and get a nice quiet sleep."..Sept. 30,1938

Al Queda declared war in '98..We slept.

Thanks for the ping.

We fight against principalities and powers. Evil is real and manifests itself in many forms in this world.

[Valin]

And we shouldn't have gone to war against Germany for the oppressive actions of a few people in their government.


Apples and oranges.

Prophet of Doom - Islam’s Terrorist Dogma, In Muhammad’s Own Words

Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted Bible stories.
Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion solely to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money.
He was a terrorist.

And if you think these conclusions are shocking, wait until you see the evidence.

I can't speak for Coroner, but for my part it appears he thinks that we are at war with 1+billion muslims and and we need to start imprisoning or killing people on the basis of their religion, much like Al Qaeda and their bang of thugs want to do to us. I (and the President) have a different view on this.

[MonaMars]

He is convinced that this book is inspired by satan.

A lot of us have been convinced of that, for very a long time. I have no doubt who it was inspired by.


Add me to that list. If you've read the Koran, it's the only logical conclusion. Either that or old Mo was a world class sociopath.

[Pondman88]

Exactly.

[Alamo-Girl]

Indeed. Withholding important facts is a moral crime against the entire voting public.

[opus86]

A disturbing but necessary reminder of the types of animals we're fighting.

[Valin]

I don't think anybody is stating that all Muslims or even most Muslims would rape little children.

I'm afraid you're spot on, C2000. Muslims will never change their murderous ways. Killing them wholesale is the only way to clean-up the collective mess that is Islam.

Put every muslim male above the age of 6 to the sword.
It will eventually be the only way.

You read it correctly. Anything not prohibited is permitted. And not much is prohibited when it comes to infidels. So they'll quote to you the rules that apply to dealing with each other. And then knife you in the back when they feel like it.

Bush ( most of the world) is at WAR with these evil people. Bush tries to differ between sects. After Beslan, I don't think that is possible anymore. EVIL is EVIL. I billion evil followers does not a religion make.

Raising the Profile of Islam

[SittinYonder]

Yikes! There's an easier way that won't require the good guys to start killing kids. We've got to export liberalism to the Islamic countries. They need a good dose of the ACLU. We need to teach them to ride bikes and jam up traffic instead of blowing up busses. Those that won't become bed wetters then sure, bust a cap in them, but rather than put every muslim male above the age of 6 to the sword we need to make them girls. Killing every muslim is going to get nasty.

When one has done a journey into one-self and one has had just a glimpse into the corruption of ones own heart, one cries out like Paul"Oh who will deliver me from this body of death?"

The seduction of the male psyche by Islam can be enormously subtle as it gives legitimacy to everything that Judeo-Christianity finds evil and corrosive to the human soul. As long as you don't attack fellow Muslims(Satan's kingdom should not be divided you know), you are free to break all the commandments on infidels because until they convert, infidels are lower than dirt! Women are nastily treated probably related to the grudge Satan has against women in general.

Knowing my own sinful side, Islam is seductive. What power I can hold over my house-hold...what evil things I could do to women, and my male Islamic compatriots would support me in my vices...after all they are condoned and even approved by Allah himself! Like Gollum's "precious" I would throw off all restraints to hold Islam's evil next to my heart...but in the dark depths I hear the voice of reason...that love of Christ that holds me back from ultimately destroying myself...

The sexual sadism encouraged by Islam belies a feminine demonic influence(Satan of couse is behind it all). Jezebel would have been acquainted with it despite the male mask Islam wears! These males who practise it have been seduced by it, not merely practising it out of conviction of its truth.... the promises of never ending sex and power are its principle narcotics. Only a spiritually vital society can ever hope to keep Islam in check...its seductive power for corruption can not be underestimated....for proof, look at the explosive growth of Islam among black American males who were totally bereft of any Christian role models in their childhoods in the form of decent dads. Islam gets introduced to them in the prisons and suddenly they have a direction in which to focus their criminality (with the blessings of Allah)the white infidel west!).
