The Quran Made Me Do It

Continuing my theme of women today, here’s another nice reminder of how Islamists feel about us ladies:

Via Jawa:

(Singapore) A 46-year-old businessman and Muslim religious teacher was sentenced to 32 years in prison and 24 strokes of the cane for raping his six daughters from December 2003 until June 2005, when one daughter filed a police report.

Three wives of the man have pleaded guilty to abetting the years-long incestuous rapes of their daughters by their father, whose name is withheld to protect the innocent.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Eugene Lee said the husband told his multiple wives and scores of children that according to the Quran, a father “owned” his children and this extended to having sex with his daughters.

Notably, two of the daughters became pregnant and underwent abortions

More of the same disgusting “the Quran made me do it” stuff.

Today Jonah Goldberg from NRO took part in a chat at The LA Times online. I was there, and I actually had the opportunity to get a question in about this issue, and here’s what I asked, along with Jonah’s response:

SistaInfidel: Since today is International Women’s Day, any thoughts/comments on the convenient omission of Islam
when most organizations (and lefty websites) describe the
opression of women?

Jonah_Goldberg: Sista, i think that’s a great subject. I think
it gets to the heart of t he problem of both the UN which
covers the butts of bad countries and multiculturalism
because it won’t attack the self-esteem, as it were, of some
of its constituents.

Very true. They can’t “offend” all the Muslims who are supporting (by not condemning) their own Islamic brothers comitting all the crimes against women (though make no mistake, in a lot of these countries these “crimes” aren’t even against the law). The truth is that the U.N. doesn’t truly care about what’s happening to the women, they only care about looking like they do. Just making statements doesn’t make something true, when actions and behavior prove otherwise.

      Sista, what an excellent post! International interest in Women’s Rights has all but vanished, and pursuit of “human rights” is what the U.N. says they are focusing on. The U.N. sanctions countries who show abysmal treatment of humans. However, if the poor treatment is of women only, no sanctions are imposed. It’s only when the U.S. military gets involved that the state-sanctioned abuse of women comes to an end. Bullies have to be met with a bigger bully before they will back off. The women in Afghanistan have been freed by our soldiers. They are in school again, getting an education. They are prominent members of their community, and they are affecting change. The brutal slayings of Iraqi women has ended thanks to our military. Thanks for bringing the light to the truth with your post!

      Excellent post. It’s just another example of how, in traditional, strict Islam, people
      — especially women — are considered property. Another word for that is slavery.

      Agreed, Muter. Whatever their concerns about the war, too many people forget all the good stuff our military does. As the body count climbs in Iraq’s sectarian violence, people
      lose sight of how it used to climb in Saddam’s prisons, at the hands of his death squads,
      and amidst military strikes on his own people. The news didn’t film all that.
