someone should email this to NOW. I don’t think they’re aware of this, otherwise they would probably reprioritize.
Why a free thinking Western woman would marry one of these beasts is beyond me....
My puzzlement regarding how NOW, and other organizations supposedly in support of women, never seem to speak up about these matters, was answered about a year ago.
I heard an expose on NPR that basically clarified that one of the reasons the concept of Islam, and the attendant treatment of women thereunder, is acceptable to these organizations is because in the Arab world men and women live apart and separate lives (think harem). Hence, the women bond among themselves (including lesbian relationships) and the men are only involved when they (the men) want sex.
Therefore, the core belief that women don’t need men and can have fulfilling lives with a social network of only females, fits nicely with the NOW concept of women. i.e. do your ‘duty’ for the men, but any personal relationship is with women.
I believe this is inaccurate, at least in the original Muslim doctrine. What the Koran specifically requires is 4 male witnesses to the actual act in order to convict a woman of adultery. This was intended as protection of women, not their oppression.
This may have certainly morphed into the doctrine as stated, but if so it's a perversion of the original doctrine.
I read the practice of the muslim man stimulating himself with the child is called “thighing”. If the man penetrates the child and causes injury, he must pay for the damages. The child does not count as one of his four wives. The practice is also halal, recognized by sharia law.
I can see child molesters claiming to be muslims and practicing their first amendment rights of freedom of religion.
Sharia law must not be allowed in the US community.
