    Welcome Big Mo! So do you reject evolution and support wife beating?

    Why do you think the Quran is true?

    The Quran says everyone will be judged fairly and everyone little seed of good he will face and every little seed of bad he will face. It says that many times. We all will be judged by our record. So I wouldn't worry about having a bad day in court.

    I would disagree with you there, the quran clearly says that the unbelievers will NOT be treated equally to the believers. As I said before:
    Quote from: Quod Sum Eris on June 29, 2014, 11:31 PM
    I am curious about your interactions with unbelievers. Throughout the quran there's talk about the believers, and the kaffir. It's important to note the quran makes a huge distinction. Those who aren't muslims are inferior. The quran compares non muslims as beasts of burden, on the same level as animals, and according to some preachers worse than animals.

    Does this sit well with you?

    You are wrong. Albeit some places seem to cater to anti-Khomeini Iranians only and then they paint all Muslims with that brush. This site has next to none active members from Iran albeit the spokeswoman for CEMB Maryam Namazie is Iranian by birth.

    "But it doesn't say lightly"

    "yes it does, but it's in a special magical language that doesn't get translated properly often.  You need to know this special language though, but just trust me.....it's a light beating"

    "err.......no"

    Mind you, without the hadiths, there is no longer that whole "don't beat her as you would a slave"....there is just, beat her, with no limit placed on that beating at all.

    I suspect Bigmo's response will be that it doesn't say "Beat/Hit" - but says "Avoid her" or "Leave her" or "Strike a similtude for her" or, my favourite: "Have sex with her" - which are all interpretations I have heard from Quranists at some point or another.

    My favourite part about all the apologism around Quran verse 4:34, besides all the intellectual contortionist attempts mentioned by Hassan and Berbs above, is that the entire verse (and in other parts of the Quran), men are given full leeway to 'discipline' wives at all. I don't care what kind of BS soft soap approach anyone tries to bring to the 'beat her' part of the verse. It is disgusting that this supposedly divine book by the supposed creator of the entire universe gives men any entitlement TO 'DISCIPLINE' ANOTHER ADULT HUMAN BEING at all.

    Somehow, apologists seem to focus so much on trying to weasel their way out of the 'beat her' part, they don't realize that the entire notion of a man disciplining his wife is disgusting, sexist, patriarchal and needs to be in the rubbish bin of history.

    Hear, hear. The worst part of slavery, what made it possible at all, was the dehumanising and infantilising of the Other. Similarity, women are regarded as both intellectually inferior and potential sexual deviants, therefore they must be controlled in order to preserve the Ummah from fitrah.

    Well said!

    Hell is another example of this. Many Muslims these days - especially Quranists - "defend" the concept of Hell by arguing that it is "Not forever!" (only for a "very long time") and you won't go there for simply not believing but only if you are the worst of the worst rapist, mass murderer or Hitler.

    However even if that were true (which it isn't) it doesn't change the simple fact that keeping someone alive so you can repeatedly torture them over and over again is the work of an insanely cruel monster - and not an All-Merciful All-Compassionate, Divine Being.

    And the acceptance of the other of the dehumanisation and infantilisation. Women do seem edging on slaves in Islam when it comes to the wife situation; infantilised in a way. There are some aspects of the set up I do agree with though, not the infantilisation and beating.

    Its not about being an apologist. Its the belief that if the Quran says that even when a spouse accusing his woman of adultery, he still needs to swear or produce 4 witnesses and she can always swear on oath herself. There is a process for an eye witness account or accusation. However in the so call beat her verse that everyone here talks about it talks about fear of woman doing something. So how can the Quran allow someone to beat someone over some fear or suspicion but demand witnesses and even can punish a slanderer who does not bring forth any witnesses over some fear.

    That is why Quranically it makes no sense to say someone can be held accountable over some fear of misconduct. You see?

    4:34 does not mention anything about four witnesses. It is telling men that if their wife is 'disobedient' they have the right to punish her in a number of ways, including by beating her. Where is the quranic injunction giving women the right to punish their disobedient husbands?

    What is the process for a woman whose husband is disobedient, lewd, or cheating on her? (Y'know besides the 4 wives and unlimited sex slaves that the quran allows him but not her to have).

    That is what Quran 4:34 says. Read it for yourself. Maybe direct your question to the humans who wrote the Quran.

    No I didn't quite expect the hostility as I was not aware I am dealing with many atheist. But then again its only a few active members. I don't see any real challenge but many here seemed to be influenced by Neocon ideology. Their arguments are very similar.


    A 'hipster passes me by, he's sporting three quater length pants and a fine beard, am I to take it he's been influenced by Salafi ideology or at least dress code?
    I've also met my fair share of muslims carrying an antisemitic chip on their shoulder, even in the form of some Zionist global domination conspiracy. That said I've also found leftist types harbouring similar ideas, they point out finacial institutions like the 'Rockerfellers and Goldman Sachs to back up their theories. In addition to this some right wingers also hold like minded views. So who's world view is really influencing who, confusing right?
