Women Under Sharia
Why Does Islam Abuse Women? — It’s the Doctrine, Stupid!
by Clare M. Lopez
Details about the sexual atrocities that HAMAS jihadis perpetrated and self-filmed with glee keep emerging, each more horrific than the last. Even the New York Times is now reporting results of its two-month investigation, including the unspeakable acts of rape, mutilation, torture, and murder committed by these savages. What they too often omit, however, is that it’s all sanctioned as legitimate under Islamic Law (sharia).
“What Hamas Did to the Girls and Women in Gaza” by Hugh Fitzgerald at Front Page Magazine, January 4, 2024
“BEATEN & TORTURED: Bloodied Faces of Karina, 19, Daniela, 19 Agam, 19 Liri, 18 Hamas Hostages” by Dr. Rich Swier, January 9, 2024. Citation from United With Israel, January 8, 2024
“Does Islamic Law Sanction Hamas’ Rape of Captives?” by Robert Spencer at PJ Media, January 19, 2024
- Here, Robert cites the UK’s Guardian, which not only reported about the mass rape of Israeli captives by HAMAS in the October 7 Shabbat Massacre and after, but noted that captured HAMAS jihadis told Israeli interrogators they were actually instructed to commit such sexual abuse and additionally referred to Qur’anic justification for it (Q 4:3). Read both pieces—they are both revealing and instructive.
The horrors for women living under Taliban rule in Afghanistan never end.
“UN Mission Says Taliban Putting Afghan Women In Prison For Protection From Violence” by RFE/RFL, December 14, 2024
- Violence by whom? Under sharia, it doesn’t matter: it’s the woman’s fault. Taliban is claiming it’s putting Afghan women in prison for their own protection—after having closed all the state protection centers for women, saying those are “a Western concept”.
“Christian Women Forced to Wear Islamic Dress in Afghanistan” at Persecution.org, January 8, 2024
The Taliban’s Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice is cracking down on all women — Muslim, Christian, or any other faith — who appear in public without being completely covered up either in a ‘proper’ hijab or full mobile tent burqa.
Islamic rule in Iran continues to brutalize women and girls, too. Dr. Rich Swier calls out feminist and other leftist groups whose silence in the face of such abuse is despicable.
“Iran’s Islamic Regime WHIPS Young Woman 74 Times For Not Covering Her Beautiful Hair in Public” at Dr. Rich Swier, citing the Jerusalem Post, “Kurdish-Iranian woman whipped 74 times for not wearing hijab” by Tzvi Joffre, January 7, 2024
- “Woman in Iran gets 74 lashes for ‘public morals’ violation” at AlArabiya News, 7 January 2024
Interesting to note that Al Arabiya is a Saudi-owned media outlet based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This piece cites an Iranian source who says the whipping penalty was carried out “in accordance…with shariah”.
Abuse of women and girls by Muslim immigrants to Western societies continues to increase while elsewhere in the Dar al-Harb it is ongoing as well.
“Honor killing narrowly avoided: a father too dangerous to be released” by Michael Nguyen at TVA Nouvelles, January 11, 2024
- She did not want to be forcibly married to a cousin in Turkey. As Robert Spencer points out in covering this story at Jihad Watch, Islamic Law (sharia) specifies there are no legal consequences for a parent or grandparent who murders their offspring.
“Gang-raped for interfaith affair, Karnataka woman tells court”, by Basavaraj Maralihalli at Times of India, January 12, 2024
- Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch points out that the Qur’an forbids Muslim women from marrying ‘idolaters’, i.e. non-Muslims.

Western Woman in contrast has killed 64 million babies in the USA alone? A deadly end or our feminied society.
Re: “What they too often omit, however, is that it’s all sanctioned as legitimate under Islamic Law (sharia).”
Most religious faiths seek to elevate man above his baser nature, but Islam instead amplifies and sanctions the the basest and most-aggressive impulses and instincts, harnessing them in service of conquest, violence and plunder.
The typical reply from apologists for Islam is that there are peaceful Muslims who harm no one, but this does not change the fundamentals of the situation.
Most of these follow the “Mecca” portion of the Koran, revealed to Mohammed during the first part of his life. This is the “peaceful” portion of the text, which speaks of coexistence, peace, harmony and brotherhood among men.
However, in the second half of his life after making the journey to Yathrib (Medina), the prophet’s message reversed itself as he became a war-lord, taker of slaves, plunderer, and conqueror. These traits of aggression and hatred of others (kafirs or non-Muslims) are stressed in the “Medina” portion of the Koran.
Due to the sharia doctrine of abrogation, the later verses of the Koran supersede and overrule the early ones, which means the Medinan (aggressive) portion of the Koran is above the earlier material from the Meccan portion, should the two come into conflict in some manner.
This has been the ruling of the ulema ~ “wise old men” ~ at al-Azar University in Cairo, Egypt ~ for a thousand years. Therefore the true nature of Islam is to be found in the second or later portion of the Koran. Which is in turn why those Muslims who become soldiers of Allah waging jihad – are doing precisely as their prophet commanded. For this reason, they lie close to the heart of Islam.
As our ancestors well-knew, i.e., W.S. Churchill, T. Roosevelt, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, et al. – this is why perpetual warfare and violence are an inseparable part of Islam.
If they mention “peaceful” muslims, tell them not every member of the nazi party was a psycho killer. If they disagree, remind them that Steven Spielberg turned Oskar Schindler into a saint.

Your point is essentially correct, but there is a larger one inside of it.
Mass movements ~ whether political, ideological, or religious in nature ~ generally have a small or relatively small cadre of true believers, as the great Eric Hoffer termed them, who are the spearhead if you will, of the movement.
These individuals, though small in number in comparison to the rest of the movement, are the most ideologically-committed and fanatical in their beliefs. They are the ‘drivers’ of the movement, who steer its direction.
The great mass of followers, on the other hand, are generally less-ideologically-committed (although some certainly are) than the cadre, and tend to be pulled along in the wake of the leaders and cadre.
This pattern, which follows a variant of Pareto’s Law ~ also known commonly as the “eighty-twenty” rule ~ characterizes many movements. Of all of the individuals in the movement, eighty percent will be less-committed, twenty percent will be more so.
Of that smaller group, twenty percent (we’re now at 4%) will be the most-committed, and so on.
And that’s how you arrive at the core or cadre of a mass movement, whether it is fascism, communism or Islam.
The key take-away is that the less-committed members of the movement, who are large in number, almost always follow the lead of the cadre – the actual leaders who steer the movement and chart its course. This is no less true of Islam than any other mass movement.
To return to your use of Nazism, after WW2 in Europe ended, the Allied occupation forces needed to separate the wheat from the chaff, ideologically-speaking, and the above relationship or principle is one of the ways they did it.
The number of regime personnel charged and tried at Nuremberg was much-higher among the party leadership and cadre than among the general population. In other words, it was even then known that “not every German is a Nazi,” or at least not a very committed one.
Understanding the dynamics of leaders and followers is very important to unlocking how these movement get started and how they work. And this is a bit of that process…

Spread the word !
SHARIA IS [SOLID WASTE]
The best thing all of us can do is to openly and loudly laugh at and disrespect islam and sharia
It drives them nuts, which is a great start !
I say throw the feminazi’s at the savages of islam, then just sit back with a good bourbon and watch what happens next. I would pay good money to watch that.
Most of them, when push-comes-to-shove, will say the shahada and convert to Islam. They will then don the burka, the veil, the hijab, and hide themselves; they will learn to obey the orders of Muslim men or suffer the consequences. They think they know about “oppression,” but they certainly do have a big surprise waiting for them, don’t they!
What is it that Oscar Wilde once said? Oh yes…
“There is only one thing worse than not getting what you want, and that’s getting it….”
Then they can either be dealt with or taken by us for our own amusement. Islam will be the death of feminaxism.
