Religion of Peace fails to stop Incest, Pedophilia
2003-05-07
A MALAYSIAN contractor with 50 children from four wives has been sentenced to 18 years in jail for raping his 11-year-old daughter last year who will not be married now by any Allah-loving Muslim man as she is not a virgin, it would bring shame on the family, reports said.
Oh, but Al Muhajiroun told me that Islam was the solution to western perversion and that western homosexuals and promiscuity and the catholic church were all responsible for pedophilia and rape.
Tengku Ismail Tengku Ibrahim, 56, was found guilty of the offence by a court in the north-eastern state of Kelantan but was spared an additional punishment of caning as he was above 50, the New Straits Times said. "This thing should not have happened because (you) look like a Islamo-pervert religious and pious man. On top of that, you already have four wives to abuse, beat, enslave satisfy your desires," Judge Azman Abdullah said before passing sentence. Muslim men in Malaysia are allowed to take four female slaves, domestic servants, Allah's little incubators wives. Seven witnesses, including the victim now 12, her elder brother and mother who is Tengku Ismail's fourth wife, testified against him.
Hmmm you mean he doesn't get death by stoning?

#4  It doesn't count less than nothing. It's technically 1/2 that of a man. (That is, as long as we're talking about a MUSLIM woman. If we're talking about a Christian or Jew or what have you, that's a different story.) See this site for an interesting discussion of the justification for this from a Muslim standpoint: http://www.masmn.org/Books/Yusuf_Al_Qaradawi/The_Status_Of_Women_In_Islam/004.htm#Legal%20testimony.

See this Time.com article for more specific real world examples: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,185647,00.html.

#3  Why is a woman's testimony considered to be worth less than nothing in Islam?

#2  Gee, I guess he'll have to burn the poor girl alive now so she doesn't shame the family.

#1  And how many other instances like this occur but don't get any legal traction because a woman's testimony is not as valuable as a man's? If the woman makes an accusation, and the man denies it, no investigation is considered necessary. This little girl fortunately had other witnesses willing to step up.
