The following remarkable document was sent to me by a reader, Huda N. (not her real name). It is a warning from someone who appears to be personally knowledgeable about the subject. I emailed back, asking, "Can you provide some background on yourself and your experience with the subject you are writing about, that I could pass along to readers?" She replied:"I am very sorry I can't provide you with more information about myself because you know that fundmantalist if they knew anything about me, about my family, and even my name i might be killed or one of my family members might be hurt or at least they might send threatning letters with abusive language. So if you want to post the article refer to me as Huda only."
I responded, "May I tell readers what country you are in?" She responded, "All I’ve talked about is in Islam as a religion. I have used verses from the Quran and stories from books of Hadith (Islamic interpretation books). Every thing is practiced in all Arab countries except for slavery. It is not practiced any more as it is not haram but it is condemned by the international society only. In Saudi Arabia they still consider Pilipino and Asian servants as (their right hand belongings, if you understand me). The more educated, far from Islam (liberal) citizens the more they tend not to follow the Islamic teachings. The more they are involved in Islamic believes the more they tend to practice these teachings and follow the path of their prophet."
Here now, is the testimony of Huda.
To all you young women wishing to meet a dark handsome Middle Eastern man
Be careful what you wish for you might get it.
by Huda N.
I have always wondered how can a woman walk into hell with her own legs, then I understood why? European women have this fantasy about Middle Eastern men as machos and strong dark handsome men who will protect his harem.
It is said that Islam has improved the position of women in Arabia. He has put an end to the Arab practice of infanticide. He forbade concubinage. He placed women on the same footing with man in legal process. And that he abolished the Arab custom of transmitting women as property from father to son. They keep repeating the hadith (prophet’s sayings) that “Paradise is at the foot of the mother.” So I thought I might give you a real look on how women in the Middle East are treated by Islam.
Women are deficient in mind and religion
Mohamed speaks of women as man’s supreme calamity, and suspects that most of them will go to hell. He says about women: "those deficient in mind and religion"
Narrated Abe said Al-khodary: the prophet went to the mosque, he passed by some women and said: "O women, give charity, as I see you the most abundant among dwellers of hell, as you curse a lot and abandon the lover, I haven't seen deficient in mind and religion and destructive to the mind of the wise man more than you, they asked: why we are deficient in mind and religion, he said: isn't your testimony is half of that of a man? They replied yes, he said that's why you are deficient in mind, they asked and why we are deficient in religion? He said isn't if any one of you has her menses, she couldn't pray or fast? They said, yes, he said that's why you are deficient in religion"
So Islam is regarding the woman as being deficient in mind and religion, and the most abundant among dwellers of hell
In testimony in courts: the witnesses must be two men or 2 women and a man. For one woman is not considered a proper witness and not equal to a man witness; they must be two women and a man, as women “tend to forget”. The man element is very important, as the testimony of (4 women as an example) is not taken for. Cow chapter (Surat Al-Baqarah) 2:82.
Women are not allowed to be judges as they are “very emotional and bias.”
The prophet allowed women to come to the mosque, but believed that “their homes are better for them”
Women are considered “unclean”
A woman is considered unclean during her periods. A man is not to touch his wife during her period. She is not allowed to pray, fast or touch the Holy Quran.
There is a hadith saying:" the dog, donkey and woman nullify the prayer” woman is compared to a dog and a donkey as she disrupts the prayer.
If someone touches a woman before praying and he had already performed ablution, his ablution is ruined and he must do ablution again. Sahih Al Bokhary, the prayer book.
Women are bad omen
Narrated Ibn Omer: they mentioned the pessimism in front of the prophet, he said: if there is pessimism in something, it will be in the horse, house and women.
Women in inheritance
A daughter is to inherit half as much as the son heir. And for a wife with no sons she is to inherit 1/5 of the inheritance. Woman chapter (Surat An-Nisa') 4:11
Women in marriage
A moslem man is allowed to marry a Jewish or Christian, but not the other way around. A moslem woman is not allowed to marry other than a moslem man.
A moslem man is allowed to marry 4 women without even notifying the first one.
Mohamed forbade concubinage, but allowed the temporary (or pleasure) marriage, what I call the mobile marriage “A contract signed by a man and a woman saying they are married for a certain time – with no witnesses”. It has certain regulations, like if a man is travelling away, so instead of committing adultery he rather marries. And then he has to give her money for the time he spent with her an hour or two, a day or two. Does this sound familiar to you under a different title?
Divorce is permitted to the man, on almost any ground.
Women as slaves
In Woman chapter (Surah An-Nisa') 3": Then marry women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with them, then only one or "mamalakat aymanokom" any woman that your right hands possess”.
Islam did not abolish women slavery actually the prophet himself had several women slaves. And of course a man can do anything to his slave even without her consent
Child Abuse
Man can marry to a child of nine years old or younger
Women as merchandize
Women are considered a “tilt” to a man. A field to be cultivated. A man can approach his tilt the way he wishes (sexually)
A man’s Superiority
The wife should recognize the superior intelligence and the superior authority of the male (father, brother or husband)
A husband is allowed to punish his wife by striking her, abandoning her and imprisoning her to death. Woman Chapter (Surat An-Nisa'), verse 15 and 35: “Men are dominators over women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other… As to those women on whose part you see ill conduct, admonish them first, then refuse to share their beds, and beat them"
A 2001 survey conducted in low-income neighborhoods in Egypt found that 96 per cent of women had been beaten at least once by their husbands (EGYPT: Abused women reluctant to come forward). Women in Islam accept and even condone domestic violence. They presume that; the striking, the denouncing, the yelling at or the calling of names, a normal way of expressing anger . Especially when they believe that the man is the authority figure and the heir of God on earth.
Narrated Abe- Hurairah: "the prophet said if a man asked his wife to bed and she refused, and he slept upset of her, the angels will curse her till morning"
Women are created only for man's pleasure, if she refused to satisfy his desires she will be cursed by angels
Every woman who dies, and her husband is pleased with her, shall enter paradise” but any women who dies and did not please her husband (sexually) will got to hell.
The husband is not obliged to get shroud for his wife when she dies, as he had to cloth her only while she is alive, as he is enjoying her, but when she dies, he is no longer enjoying her, so he has no obligation to get shroud for her or have her funeral.
If a woman gets older and does not please her husband, he has the right to divorce her.
The husband is not obliged to buy medicine for his wife, or pay the physician's fee when she gets sick, as those are not among the usual needs.
The husband can forbid his wife from attending the funeral of her mother or father, and he can prevent her from nursing her baby of another man before him
Women in paradise
In Islam a man believer when he dies will get the paradise women and immortal boys; they are for sexual pleasure and not for service. But women have nothing. Most women will be I hell.
I really hope that all women seeking to marry a moslem take all that into consideration
