| Women, liberated under Islamic Sharia |
This article in the Independent is complete nonsense, and highlights just how far down the previously independent Independent has fallen.
As the first commenter on the article says: “Next in the Independent: How Nazism can prevent anti-semitism”.
Another commenter, Badger1 makes the point I was going to make here: namely that the quoted verses don’t say anything like the writer Qasim Rashid claims. And one quoted, 4.35, is preceded by 4.34 which enjoins the man to beat his wife if she is “disobedient”, a call which we know many a Muslim man has heeded, and is hardly likely to "prevent more sexual abuse scandals".
Of course, of course, there’s domestic violence in the west; but in Muslim countries, it is far more prevalent, and there’s virtually no movement against it. Indeed women are only just being allowed to drive a car in Saudi Arabia.
Badger1 asks, reasonably, “does the Independent do any fact-checking at all, any more?”. It’s super easy to do, and Rashid should not have been allowed to get away with simply outright false claims.
