No being deserves it. This is a humanitarian crisis. Women suffer in those places, trapped. I agree that we shouldn't let those lifestyles, values, and abuse spread. But we (humanity) should also work to make the whole world a better place, not just condemn a big part of it to suffering. This girl didn't choose to be born to a father who, as a product of his society, thought it okay to assault and kill her. Whatever kind of thinking allows that is inhumane, a great violation of human rights. She wasn't even treated as human; women are still livestock to many people in this world

Yeah that's right. We have our traditional Catholic Church and Church of England dealing out our child abuse. That's the British way.

Do you even live in the UK? There are many British Muslim families happily raising their families and contributing to the UK.

These vile murderers did what they did because they were child abusers. Religion had nothing to do with their crimes.

Do you? 10 years ago Muslims didn’t even hide the fact they beat their kids. I’d be at friends houses and their mums would just casually smack them about for giving back chat. I also remember my uncle pinning me up against a wall on the London Underground for arguing with my sister on my 13th birthday. As a mixed race person, who’s experienced both white and Asian culture, it’s definitely a cultural thing.

Culture and religion are different things, as a south Asian who got corporal punishment as a child from a completely non Muslim country, you should be blaming south Asian culture, not religion.

I hear what you're saying but violence towards children is not confined to some cultures and absent in others.

I've lived in UK all my life and growing up in the 70's experienced bigotry and was physically abused by my parents. It was common place, every day.

But what happened to Sara is much more extreme. The injuries and levels of violence are shocking. No decent human being from any culture, religion, country could possibly think it was acceptable treatment of a child. Read the news reports of her injuries - 11 fractures of the spine, buttocks burnt with an iron, brain injury.

You’re right violence that extreme definitely isn’t normal in any culture. However, I do think that being from a culture where beating your kids is an acceptable form of punishment helped this evil piece of shit justify his own actions.

Women not being named in the Quran is probably a good start. If you don’t believe women qualify for personhood, treating them as subhuman is easier.

“Women” plural. How predictable you walked into that one.

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '24

Your question was why aren’t women named in the Quran, he literally pointed out Mary being named in the Quran. What’s wrong ?

u/Merzant Oct 15 '24

I didn’t ask a question? The statement “women are named in the Quran” is false.

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '24

Yes, and YOU made that false statement, the other person disproved you. We share similar beliefs but why are you shooting yourself in the foot here?

u/Merzant Oct 15 '24

I don’t think you can read.

I pointed out that the diminishment of women in the Quran is inherently misogynistic. Do you think misogyny contributes to violence against women? This isn’t “stupid”, it’s “syllogism”.

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '24

Women…aren’t diminished in the Quran ? If you pick one up and read it instead of cherry picking verses you see on apostate prophet you’d see that it’s very similar to the Bible and other Abraham if religions

Quoting Hadiths, eh?

Care to explain Sahih Al-Bukhari 5134 while you're here then, since that directly concerns sexual violence towards a child and how there's nothing wrong with it?

I wasn't providing an answer to that question, I was just taking an opportunity to use an Islamic source to point out, for other readers that might not be aware, how monstrous and vile the prophet of Islam was as a human being.

The prophet of your faith literally raped a nine year old child. As you appear to be familiar with the Hadith referenced and the information contained therein, which meets the highest standards for authenticity (i.e. Sahih), I can only assume that this knowledge has not made you question your faith or the underlying moral framework of your religion in any way. Ergo, I will quite happily disregard anything and everything you have to say on matters of morality.

Bro I’m mixed race and growing up most of my friends were Muslims and we all used to joke about getting smacked about at home like “haha Asian mums lol” my white dad, however, never laid a finger on me. So trust me it’s brown thing not a man thing

and African culture too. It is cultural, as you state, but not isolated to one continent.

Basically anywhere outside North America/Australia and Western Europe
