TechnoratiAlso, in June 2008, Saudi marriage official Dr. Ahmad Al Mubi said in an interview aired on LBC TV: “There is no minimal age for entering marriage… the Prophet Mohammed is the model we follow.”
Mohammed supposedly married his wife Aisha when she was six years old and consummated their marriage when she was nine.
“The clerics wish to hide as much of this from us as they can,” Darwish claims. “Many Muslims themselves are embarrassed by this and are trying to hide these facts about male sexual rights – even from their sons.”
Taming the Wife
Under Islam, husbands, in order to make their wife (or wives) obedient, are also given permission to beat her if she “rebels.”
Quran 4:34 reads:
“Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and [as to] those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.”
Furthermore, the Hadith, or the sayings of Islamic prophet Mohammed, says, “A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.”
As a result of these “religious rights,” many Muslim women who are beaten hide their abuse because it is considered rebelling against your husband to complain about him, even if he beats you.
Harm to Non-Believers
Perhaps more widely known to Westerners is Sharia’s call to harm non-believers. There have been many high-profile cases of death threats and actual murders of those who leave Islam, often times by their immediate family.
There are 35,213 Quran verses, Hadiths, Sharia laws, and various Muslim scriptures that command and encourage killing, violence, war, annihilation, corporeal punishment, hatred, boycott, humiliation, and subjugation, mostly against non-Muslims, according to Darwish.
“Most Muslims are unaware of or in denial about the intrinsic problems within Islam and Sharia that create a serious threat to lives of non-Muslims, both as individuals and as nations,” the sought after speaker writes.
She adds, “Non-Muslims cannot simply count on an eventual reformation of Islam because it might never happen. The starry-eyed West talks more about the reformation of Islam than Muslims themselves do. Islamic jihad is likely to continue to be a threat forever.”
Darwish calls jihad the driving force behind Sharia and describes it as the “never-ending relentless expansion and enforcement of Islam worldwide.”
Quest to Impose Sharia in the West
While most of her book is devoted to explaining the tenets of Sharia, Darwish is clear from the beginning that she wrote the book to warn Western nations, especially the United States, about the threat of Islamic law.
Most Americans do not understand what Sharia actually calls for, she says, and believe it is just a normal set of religious laws.
“[T]he West must never allow even limited Sharia marriage and family laws to be practiced in any Western democracy, simply because it is against basic principles of human rights and equality between the sexes,” Darwish declares. “Sharia strips a woman of her God-given right to be a human being.
