Islam, Women, and Phyllis Chesler
This foolishness, this madness – this outright patriarchy-worship in the guise of feminism, this perverse insistence that political virtue always consists in taking the side of “the other,” even if “the other” is out to oppress or rape or even kill you – this is what Chesler is up against. And her only weapon is the facts. That’s what this book is – 462 pages of facts about a culture whose systematic abuse of women she refuses to stop talking about. In these pieces, she takes us to Iran and Iraq, Sudan and Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, Syria and Turkey, Nigeria and Pakistan, and France and Britain and the U.S. She attends to such phenomena as forced marriage, underage brides, honor killings, female genital mutilation (FGM), Muslim family rapes, female suicide bombers (and their Western defenders), splenetic Muslim cabdrivers in New York, slaveholding by a Muslim millionaire on Long Island, and much else. Not to mention plenty about burkas …
muslims treat women like dirt because muhammed treated women like dirt. How can you expect muslims to treat women with respect when the founder of their religion was, according to primary Islamic texts, a pedophile, rapist, and murderer?? Sorry folks, a leopard can’t change its spots.
Progressives hate western classical liberal democracy so much that they get into bed with and support a 7th century ideology in order to take freedom down. Fools, they do not realize where they themselves will end up.
First off I object to Islam being called a RELIGION. Total BS.
It is however a Predatory, Violence Prone, Misogynist Political Cult that revere’s Death, professes women to be worth 1/2 a man and uses a very thin veneer of Religiosity such as to garner respectability and tax free status.
The Gross Hypocrisy of todays so called Feminists was brought into perfect clarity a few years ago when the ESA Satellite fly by of Pluto occurred. The Chief Scientist, you may recall was wearing a beach style shirt with bikini clad women on it. The so called “feminist” movement throughout Western Civilization took to social media and literally shit themselves over said shirt….yet no one would ever spout nary a peep on the treatment of Women under Islam.
Where I could, I called them out on their disgusting – deafening silence on women’s treatment under ISLAM.
To me -These people.?,Feminists..??, Hardly, they are however, perfect useful idiots of the Muslim Brotherhood. All part and parcel of said groups 100+ yr old plan to export ISLAM throughout the planet and especially in North America via using our on laws and mores against us…..and its working isn’t it.?
It’s a mental illness, one that you can never reason out of them, and yet we allow them to dictate the way our society will behave and be governed.
It’s a spiral to the bottom for western civilization that can only end in civil unrest then civil war somewhere in the future.
This might be worth reading. Is she one of these idiots who seriously believes there are no-go zones in Europe? If so, then not worth reading.
Ultimately, Islam and Muslims don’t give a rat’s behind about ANYONE, even their own. The entire world-view of Islam is “master-slave” paradigm, with Allah being the ultimate slave-master.
If one does not accede to becoming a slave, one is dispensed with, typically one’s head being removed from one’s shoulders. That’s what happened to 1.5 million Christian Armenians in the early 20th century: women, children, babies, and the elderly. It was unbelievably horrific what Muslim Turks did to those people (actually, my people).
Look, the world didn’t learn a lesson from the attempted genocide of those Christian Armenians who were executed by the swords and guns and hanging ropes of Muslim Turks or force-marched into the deserts of northern Syria.
If people have never appreciated how horrific that is or don’t care to for whatever reason, then they never will.
If anyone wants to get a sense of the horror of the Armenian genocide, even Wikipedia provides a good picture: “Armenian Genocide”.
If a book paints 1.6 billion people with a broad (black) brush it is worthless. Anyone who portrays Muslims as demons cannot be taken seriously. A look at Wikipedia’s Statements and writing on Islam (by Chesler) shows that anything therein about Muslims is essentially in the negative.
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?”
Matthew 7:1-3
Look this is the reality for you people reading this.
The time for writing articles, reading articles, and writing and making comments are well past finished. We are in an existential struggle. We are in an existential struggle not against Islam or Muslims. We are in an existential struggle with the idiot left. We are in an existential struggle with the idiot left not just in Canada but all over the Western world. So what we need to do is reverse all the “isms” that have been instituted in western civilization in the last 50 years. And we need to remove the left from all our institutions and government. We’re not going to do it at The Ballot Box or with reason.
Such melodrama, such anti-intellectualism. Have fun getting buried.
You’re absolutely correct. It’s going to get a LOT WORSE till it gets better. Because so long as the left can continue to loot the productive class and loot Capitalism … the looters will outnumber the shop keepers. Western Capitalist nations will hold out much longer than Venezuela. But when the shops are completely empty … ohhhhhhh myyyy … I am grateful I am near-enough to death that I will never have to see that Armageddon. Cause it is going to be brutal. I weep for my children and grandchildren. I know what leftist nirvana looks like.
2006, Pope Benedict’s Regenberg Lecture, he quotes from 14th Century Byzantine the erudite Emperor Manuel Paleogus II, “Show me what Mohammed brought that was new and there you will find only things evil and barbaric, such as his command to spread by the sword. The faith he preached.”

There is a perfect entry for an interfaith dialogue, but made somewhat awkward by the side abandoning disputation for the sword as per their perfect warlord’s directives.
As for Dr. Phyliss Chesler, author autobiographical of ‘An American Bride in Kabul.
She knows well of what she writes. A review of her articles published on her website proves that. As does anyone who does due diligence in reading both the history of Islamic imperialism and the texts that command it.
No, not everything about Mohammedanism is negative, but that aspect has dominated it and continues to do so, including in Canada, as Dr. Chesler notes.

(The anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, Canada’s introduction to the status of women under Islam approaches (Dec. 6.). Where Canadian cultural Marxists proved their hatred of Canadian men was far stronger than their avowedly sisterly love for Canadian women.)
If women ran the world the world would have ended a long time ago.

the list of dangerous and dangerously incompetent women leaders is very long.
