    @ Baal

    I didn't object to you calling it a conscientious objection. I didn't even comment on that.

    Beit El Ta'a?!! That's an old Egyptian law as far as I know. It is NOT based on scripture. For example, even in *Wahhabi* Saudi Arabia, there was NEVER something called Bait El Ta'a! A woman can leave her husband's house and go back to her family without him being able to do anything about it... in the old days he could keep her un-divorced except if she cited a good reason for divorce but that has changed after Khul' since she can force him to divorce her once she throws the Mahr if she didn't want to cite any reason AT ALL... but again, I repeat: even in Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, there was never Bait El Ta'a.
    I don't give a damn how you view these books. It's no skin off my nose how you feel about them as long as you don't palm yourself off as the big Islamic expert when you can't even differentiate between them. Thank you.
    You know what Idda is for.. A woman has to wait anyway, because of the possibility of pregnancy... anyway, my argument with Angel stands... the man can't finalize the divorce except by two witnesses, meaning? A court must be involved to process the paperwork and ensure that the man paid the required expenses.


    Two witnesses does not correlate to going to court. Where does it say that there must be a judge involved in the process? A court is lot more than "two witnesses".

    NO. Absolutely not! And unlike our new friend here who cites "relativism", I can clearly see this is BEYOND relativism... any man who is sexually aroused by a 9 year old girl is sick even if he comes from 30,000 years ago... just like when you find a man who finds his own mother sexually attractive, it's sick whether this man lived 30,000 years ago or today.

    Now, one can cite relativism for a man marrying a 14-15 years old girl, because such a girl can be sexually attractive (most girls at this age have all the "curves", if you know what I mean).

    Well he Answered "No", and no one with a sound mind would answer yes.

    But what if Aisha was 16 or 17? Would that change anything?

    To me Mo is surely was send by God just as I am. Mo was an extremely manipulative mastermind hypnotist that managed to rule Arabia until his death. Later, his companions or "Wazirs" continued the dictatorship, because they were nothing without power and they would be immediately killed.... Oh wait, they were immediately killed anyway!

    Wrong Ribs there are people that say she was 9 and it's ok. And not for moral relativism but rather because that's the way Allah intended it. I think there is a verse in the Quran that says And he (mohammed) does not speak out of his own accord (meaning everything he does/says is sanctioned by Allah). Or they say well my grandmother was married at 11 or 12 or 13 so what's the problem?

    If she was 14, 15 and consenting, I don't think it would have been as big a problem. In terms of biology. For the question of whether or not it?s ok for a man of 1400 years ago to boink a 9 year old I rather ask a doctor not a fucking philosopher or a theologian.

    I'd say "Doc, if a fully grown man, has sex with a 9 year old, mind you this was 1400 years ago, what would happen to her body". At 14 or 15 he might say well physically she is still growing but can be sexually active. But might not be ready for a marriage. But that's on an individual basis. A philosopher or anthropologist might say that adolescence is a modern concept, but that's bull. If we look at nature there surely is child/adult phase, but our biology I think there is a clear child, adolescent, adult phase. Both physically and mentally.

    The problem is the assertion that she was 14, 15? Interestingly this would coincide with the age of sexual consent in most western countries. Why not 11 or 12? What if other people were boinking 7 or 8 year old back when Mo lived? How come there is not a verse that clearly says no to boink a girl of a certain age? How come there is a verse about menses? What if back then menses was a sign that a girl was ready to get married. The moment she got it.

    If I then ask "Doc can a girl have menses at the age of 9, even 1400 years ago?" or if I ask "Doc my daughter just got her menses, she is 11, is she ready for sex? With a fully grown man? Is she ready to be pregnant?? 

    It seems to me rather odd that the issue is with menses, that's the criterion used to judge if a girl is ready for intercourse. It seems, oh I dont know a bit ancient?

    Given this position, what is your stance regarding the moral status of the Bukhari narrations regarding Aisha's age?

    Are they works of fiction -- or anti-Islamic propaganda, perhaps?

    Assuming child marriages are universally criminal -- and assuming they were understood to be criminal at the time of the Prophet -- then at least Bukhari (and whoever "invented" these stories) must be either promoting some kind of criminality -- or else producing propaganda -- by recording these hadiths.

    One of the reasons that motivates the Qur'an only movement -- are you sort of aligned to them?

    Of course, in my view, the best alternative is my position: that there was nothing too unusual about child marriages at the time (I think this is pretty much an historical fact) -- and so a fuss about her age is made for completely different reasons (to contrast with the Hebrew rule of 12 years, where years are understood here in terms of the transmission of Divine knowledge into the human soul -- it takes 12 years normally, but Aisha was premature, with implications for us all).

    Hi Debunker, I apologize for calling you a liar, you were only stalling a bit but that is not a lie. Angel was talking about going to court, and you replied with '2 witnesses required'. Although 2 witnesses do not equate going to court, perhaps you only tried to put an argument that the husband might still be required to not 'divorce in anger'.

    Beit El Ta'a?!! That's an old Egyptian law as far as I know. It is NOT based on scripture. For example, even in *Wahhabi* Saudi Arabia, there was NEVER something called Bait El Ta'a! A woman can leave her husband's house and go back to her family without him being able to do anything about it...

    Fvck the Saudi laws. Did they even have laws 30 years ago. And then ordering a girl lashed 90 times over a cell phone and mouthing off to a kunt of a teacher. And turning down the request of an 8yrs old for a divorce because she is too young to make the request. Fvck the Saudi law till the next 17 hundred kingdoms. You are quoting Saudi laws to me?

    Over 50% of the married people in Saudi are asking for a divorce and the only thing preventing the country from descending into total social disintegration is the court preventing the women from going forward with their divorces. Fvck the Saudi laws and triple fvck the wahabi shit that is holding that country back.

    Here are the requirements for a Khula according to all Islamic courts least of all Saudi laws:

    http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=12&ID=2578&CATE=11
    Quote
    In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,

    The only difference between divorce and Khul' is that a divorce is given by  the man without demanding a financial payment form the wife, where as in khul', the wife receives the divorce in return for a financial payment. This is usually in a situation where the husband in unwilling to give the divorce and the wife persuades him to issue the divorce in return of this payment.

    It should be remembered that a Khul' can not come into effect without the consent and agreement of the husband. The wife can persuade him to enter into the agreement of Khul' but not enforce it upon him. For more details see the recent post on Khul' on the Hanafi forum.

    With regards to stipulating a right of divorce for the wife in the case where the husband fails to fulfill a certain promise or condition, this is permissible and known in the fiqh terminology as Tafweed.

    If this tafweed takes place at the time of contracting the marriage, meaning the wife stipulates the condition, and demands the right to divorce herself in the case of non-fulfillment, it will be valid, provided one condition is met, which is that the offer of marriage is initiated by the woman coupled with the demand for Tafweed, and the man accepts this. If the opposite takes place, it will be void.

    (See: Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, 2/285 & Bahr al-Ra'iq, 3/318).

    So the statement of the woman would be as follows: "I give my self to you in wedlock on the condition that you do not marry again and if you do then I have a right to divorce my self" and the husband says: "I accept you in my marriage in agreement with the condition stipulated".

    In this way, if the husband was to marry again, the wife would have the right to divorce herself. (For more details, see a previous post on 'placing conditions in a marriage contract'.

    And Allah knows best



    in the old days he could keep her un-divorced except if she cited a good reason for divorce but that has changed after Khul' since she can force him to divorce her once she throws the Mahr if she didn't want to cite any reason AT ALL... but again, I repeat: even in Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, there was never Bait El Ta'a.

    And specially in Wahabi Saudi they are still giving women the run-around to get her divorce. Auto-losing her custody unless her husband give up the retarded kids of course.

    I don't give a damn how you view these books. It's no skin off my nose how you feel about them as long as you don't palm yourself off as the big Islamic expert when you can't even differentiate between them.

    Your shit to sort out not mine. You are the one who think too highly of those books. As far as I am concerned, hadith, sirat, koran are all fables written by the same people promising you a Rolls Royce after you die. If I give you a verse and I say the verse is from the hadith, you might act all indignated and self-righteous to correct me that verses come from the koran and not from the hadith, and my answer to you will be the same, same shit, same lies, same hate and same fear.

    Now let's pretend you acted all polite and nice about it and went: "Btw Baal you stated verse 9:5 came from the Hadith Sahih when the verse came from the Uthamanic Koran you silly old buddy old chum.", and me out of pure congeniality and mirth might answer back: "Oh yes yes yes you are right, all those verses and hadith really look the same to me I just figured I gave you enough information to go on finding what really happened for yourself."

    ... anyway, my argument with Angel stands... the man can't finalize the divorce except by two witnesses, meaning? A court must be involved to process the paperwork and ensure that the man paid the required expenses.

    Wrong. At no time of the divorce process, can Two witnesses nullify a divorce. Goes like this: The man can divorce the woman. Slam Dunk and she is out. No witnesses involved yet. The woman however is ordered to goto court. Only after the Iddat period is complete, the man is only asked to get 2 witnesses to finalize the process. And the witnesses have no power to stop the divorce.

    At no time of this process, can the man be forced to return to the woman. At worst for the man, the witnesses might state that the men is not on equitable terms, but they still can not force the man to sleep beside a woman he does not want to sleep beside.

    If the witnesses state that the divorce was not equitable, then perhaps the woman can then take her ex-husband to court *AFTER THE FACT* and use the witnesses to her favor. Again, the man did not have to goto court and pay for the initial lawyer fees.

    You and me agree that the man should be required to pass in front of a judge to make sure he left her on 'equitable terms', but that is not what the koran recommends. Just because something is necessary and has to happen, it does not mean the koran ordered us to do it.



    EDIT: Removed the requirement for open lesdness for witnesses.

    "Ask the slave girl; she will tell you the truth.' So the Apostle called Burayra to ask her. Ali got up and gave her a violent beating first, saying, 'Tell the Apostle the truth.'"

    You make a valid point. Actually, everything that we experience in existence, for me, is a Divine text to be read after the same fashion I read the Qur'an.

    You do not need the Qur'an to read the world in the way I am espousing. In fact, you can ignore books entirely. If everything is a text, you can read your going out to buy a bottle of milk as having cosmic implications (purchasing the milk of wisdom, would be the Sufi understanding -- a purchase made through self-referentially understanding that "purchasing" and "milk" refer to all understanding). This is why some religions make a big deal of simple things, like a pouring tea or breathing: because ultimately everything is a sign, a communication act from above, everything resonates with god's love.

    But of course this reading can also be done with any books.

    This includes stuff like the works you mention: they each have a limited Divine signification that transcends what their authors originally intended. For example, the - er - Hollywood religion you allude to has a truth of misprison extracted from earlier Christian Gnosticsm and hermetic ideas taken from folk like Crowley. Xenu is pretty much what the Gnostics called the Demiurge and the Sufis know as the Commanding Self -- a kind of paranoid Diety of the mind that keeps us locked in a prison of illusion. You might call it whatever authority you fear most in life -- perhaps it was called Allah by some people here in their religious times -- and ultimately is always an exteriorized aspect of our being. Like with the Gnostics, a creation mythology is developed for meditation -- for the Gnostics (and, for that matter, all Abrahamic mystical strains) to read the creation story is to participate actively in the Creation and to confront and overcome the Demiurgic Deity within ourselves. I've got no idea whether such a meditation is what those hollywood actors and weird guys handing out personality tests (or, for that matter, their founder) get up to when they read the Xenu story -- but this is certainly how they OUGHT to be reading their texts.

    That religion must appeal to certain people at an unconscious level because it resonates with earlier archetypes understood by our ancestors. Nevertheless, we CAN make a value judgement on that religion's founder and followers -- perhaps they (including its author) take the Xenu story literally -- perhaps they sell whatever Truth they have encountered for material wealth, which would make THEM trapped by the Xenu factor ....

    Regarding Richard Dawkins, there is also a hidden, Divine truth in his work on evolution. Basically, Dawkins is constantly drawn to apply evolutionary principles to everything in life -- not just biology, but the growth of ideas, particularly religion. He is not a trained philosopher, so he fails to realise his predecessors in this were people like Neitzche, Bergson and Heidegger, who comprehended that all life (textual life, in my sense) IS unfolding, evolution. Not just a physical, material development -- but lineages and movements of information: this is movement, these lines of flights, these becomings are what the Sufis understand as Time (and there is a hadith that equates Allah with Time). This "meta"-evolution applies to everything -- including Dawkins texts, with its (hidden) history of development, and whatever will follow from Dawkins: Dawkins' past and future is encapsulated within the single sign of "evolution" and in his desire to apply it. But if Allah is Time, then Allah is Meta-Evolution (in the sense Dawkins unconsciously desires to elevate his system): so, while he might not perceive it, I can indeed find God in his book.

    I'd argue that the Quran and Torah are very specific and special texts that make them elevated over these other texts, however. I can explain that if you want, but it's sort of unnecessary -- if I am making a Sufi da'wah, which I appear to be doing right now -- it is to promote ways of reading life itself like I read Qur'an, rather than reading Qur'an as such ... to uncover the

    ... oh, and regarding Egyptian texts, I don't know about Pharoah (another name for Xenu!), but I make use of the Hermetica -- Greek-Egyptian mysticism -- quite heavily in recent times. It was long understood in the Islamic world that the Hermetica was the book of Idris/Enoch -- the Muslim scholars understood that Thoth was not a God, as such, but a prophet. So they integrated the Hermetica into their studies. We are talking about Sufi alchemists here, more than your dervish variety -- but the Bahai faith in particular, with its roots in Iranian Islamic mysticism, also makes a fuss about these Egyptian texts.

    They provide a very useful background to the importance of Idris in Islam (specifically, why he is featured so prominently in the Mi'raj when he only gets a short note in the Qu'ran).

    You know the relevance... they *SUPPOSEDLY* follow Shariah Law, the strictest version of it, or so they claim. So when even Saudis don't have this Bait Al Ta'a law, this would mean that's not part of the so-called Shariah Law.

    OFF TOPIC:
    The girl was lashed 90 times over smashing a glass cup over the head of the school's principle... the cell phone had nothing to do with it... get your facts straight. (of course, I don't condone the punishment, but I'm clarifying the crime).

    Actually over 50% of marriages in Saudi do end in divorce. And very few women use Khul' not because there are pressures from the courts, it's because usually women don't want to return the Mahr back to the husband, which in the case of Saudi Arabia, ranges from $15,000 to $50,000 on average.

    As for Egypt, check out this article:

    Even with Egypt's new law, a wife who wants a divorce over the objections of her husband will have to return to him any money or property that he paid her upon the marriage. That provision was the price paid for the support of leading Muslim authorities.

As far as I am concerned, hadith, sirat, koran are all fables written by the same people promising you a Rolls Royce after you die. If I give you a verse and I say the verse is from the hadith, you might act all indignated and self-righteous to correct me that verses come from the koran and not from the hadith, and my answer to you will be the same, same shit, same lies, same hate and same fear.


    The point that you keep missing is: History books are not *scripture*.. mixining up Quran and Hadith is one thing, pretending that history books is scripture is another. In any case, even though I don't give a crap about Judiasm, I don't cite some Jewish history book and then claim it is part of the Talmud or the Hebrew Bible. This little thing is known as integrity.

    Now let's pretend you acted all polite and nice about it and went: "Btw Baal you stated verse 9:5 came from the Hadith Sahih when the verse came from the Uthamanic Koran you silly old buddy old chum.", and me out of pure congeniality and mirth might answer back: "Oh yes yes yes you are right, all those verses and hadith really look the same to me I just figured I gave you enough information to go on finding what really happened for yourself."


    Ok, you're right, I should have been polite about it but that was a bit of a challenge given that you called me both stupid an a liar in previous post, so perhaps I was just urged to return the favor?

    Wrong. At no time of the divorce process, can Two witnesses nullify a divorce. Goes like this: The man can divorce the woman. Slam Dunk and she is out. No witnesses involved yet. The woman however is ordered to goto court. Only after the Iddat period is complete, the man is only asked to get 2 witnesses to finalize the process. And the witnesses have no power to stop the divorce.


    And where did I say that they have the power to stop the divorce?

    Quote
    At no time of this process, can the man be forced to return to the woman. At worst for the man, the witnesses might state that the men is not on equitable terms, but they still can not force the man to sleep beside a woman he does not want to sleep beside.

    If the witnesses state that the divorce was not equitable, then perhaps the woman can then take her ex-husband to court *AFTER THE FACT* and use the witnesses to her favor. Again, the man did not have to goto court and pay for the initial lawyer fees.

    You and me agree that the man should be required to pass in front of a judge to make sure he left her on 'equitable terms', but that is not what the koran recommends. Just because something is necessary and has to happen, it does not mean the koran ordered us to do it.

    Huh?

    Given this position, what is your stance regarding the moral status of the Bukhari narrations regarding Aisha's age?

    Are they works of fiction -- or anti-Islamic propaganda, perhaps?

     
    I think that such narrartions are

    1- anti-Islamic propaganda fabricated by hypocrites pretending to be Muslims. I don't know if you know this or not, but according to *weak* narrations of Hadith, Muhammed was also a necrophiliac and had incestual tendencies towards his daughter. Almost, any sexual deviance you can think of, there's a Hadith (albeit weakly narrated) reporting it.

    OR

    2- Aicha could have been grossly exaggerating about her age. Let's not forget that no one corroborated her sory. She's the sole reporter of her age at marriage. If you examine many Hadiths, Aicha's jealousy of the prophet's other wives is obvious. Given the fact that some of the wives of the prophet's were young themselves (~17 years old) I wouldn't be surprised she would grossly exaggerate her own age so as to seem much younger than his other wives.

    OR

    3- Some deviant (Ummayyad) Caliph had a thing for little girls and had such hadiths invented to justify his behavior.

    Quote
    Assuming child marriages are universally criminal -- and assuming they were understood to be criminal at the time of the Prophet -- then at least Bukhari (and whoever "invented" these stories) must be either promoting some kind of criminality -- or else producing propaganda -- by recording these hadiths.

     

    You know how it goes, Muslims just need to hear that the prophet did it and it automatically becomes OK.. if such is the behavior of modern Muslims today, I won't be surprised if the ancients thought the same thing too.

    Quote
    One of the reasons that motivates the Qur'an only movement -- are you sort of aligned to them?


    I am NOT a Quran only Muslim. I simply recognize my right to reject Hadiths from within the work of Bukhari et al, just like they've given themselves the right to reject hundreds of thousands of Hadith...

    Muslims have been rejecting Hadiths in different ways since the 8th century when Mutazilites only accepted Mutawatir Hadiths (which contitutes only ~10% of today's Sunni Hadith).  If Muslims were rejecting Hadiths even back then, so why not now? After Bukhari et al, Sunnis assumed they had the absolute right to "guard" the religion and suppressed all other sects and schools of thought (although they failed to suppress the Shia sect for political reasons.)

    Quote
    Of course, in my view, the best alternative is my position: that there was nothing too unusual about child marriages at the time (I think this is pretty much a historical fact) --

     

    A historical fact? Yes, girls did get married as early as 13 years old, but at 9 years, girls are no different from boys (even if they menstruated)!  Anyway, how about you tell me your opinion of 4:6?

    Quote
    and so a fuss about her age is made for completely different reasons (to contrast with the Hebrew rule of 12 years, where years are understood here in terms of the transmission of Divine knowledge into the human soul -- it takes 12 years normally, but Aisha was premature, with implications for us all).


    I don't know where did you get that the Hebrew rule set the minimum age for marriage at 12? The majority of Jewish scholars agree that Rebecca married 40 years old Isaac when she was 10 years old. Other Jewish scholars think Rebecca was *3* years old when she married Issac.

    .... I think there is a verse in the Quran that says And he (mohammed) does not speak out of his own accord (meaning everything he does/says is sanctioned by Allah).....



    I guess you meant this?

    Quote from:  Surat Alnajem 53
    I swear by the star when it goes down. (1) Your companion does not err, nor does he go astray; (2) Nor does he speak out of desire. (3) It is naught but revelation that is revealed, (4) The Lord of Mighty Power has taught him, (5) The Lord of Strength; so he attained completion, (6)

    these verses are regarding Quran, not the prophet's sayings in general.

    Yes? So you mean anything else that came from Mohammed was from his own free will? All of his other actions? They are not sanctioned and explained in the Quran? The marriages for example? 

    That is rather strange. I grew up with him being infallible. Meaning he was perfect. Meaning everything he did was right according to Allah.  That he is never really derided in the Quran. For example abasa, it does not say clearly who turned and frowned.

    He was safe guarded from sin, from mistakes, from temptations.

    Where did I say *all*? According to Quran, all of Quran was *inspired* by God. Also, according to Quran the prophet WAS fallible! He sinned and he was ordered to ask for forgiveness for his sins (even though God already forgave his past and future sins).

    The Quran says he was a human like but a messenger of God too. All of that is in the Quran.

    That's a Shia/Sufi teachings which obviously contradict Quran. According to Quran, prophets are the best of men but they were men, nevertheless. They were NOT infallible.
