Syrian women face whipping and execution for breaking Sharia dress code

[wvwvw]

These are the Islamic supremacist rebels that Barack Obama is backing: they’re institutionalizing the oppression of women, imposing the Qur’an-based tax that is the hallmark of the subjugation of the Christians, and whipping or killing anyone who gets out of line. Once again we see the lie of Islamic apologists such as Faisal Abdul Rauf and Reza Aslan, who insist that Sharia is benign or so amporphous as to defy characterization. Actually, wherever it is implemented, it is pretty much the same — and people suffer.

Syrian Women Face Whipping and Execution for Breaking Sharia Dress Code

Women in Syria face whippings and even execution under a harsh regime being enforced by Islamist rebels, it has been claimed.

Rebels from the Islamic State in Iraq and Sham (Isis) have imposed a harsh regime, flogging women who break a strict dress code, imposing a tax on Christians and banning any behaviour deemed immodest or sinful.

Isis drove Syrian rebels from the free Syrian Army and the Al-Nusra Front out of the city of Raqqa, in northern Syria about 99 miles east of Aleppo earlier this year, and began transforming what had been one of Syria's more liberal cities into a hardline Islamist mini-state modelled on its own version of Sharia law.

One woman was allegedly sentenced to 20 lashes after an Isis "morality patrol" saw her holding hands with a male cousin. Another woman aged 19 was sentenced to 40 lashes after an Isis officer saw a picture of her on Facebook wearing a short-sleeved blouse, it has been claimed.

Everyone female aged 10 and over in Raqqa must cover themselves with the traditional abaya (the traditional cloak) and niqab (face covering), and Isis has decreed that no features should be displayed that are suggestive, vain or attention-seeking.

Women are also banned from talking loudly in the street, walking in public without a male chaperone (their father, brother or husband) and are not allowed to leave home after dark.

Everyone in the city has been banned from playing music in any public place and smoking, and the laws are reinforced by posters declaring that "a woman's modesty is her beauty" and by forcing men to go to the mosque and pray five times a day.

Churches have been burned and desecrated. Christians in the city have been banned from showing any sign or symbol of their religion and must pay a tax to remain in the city and avoid violent attacks.

Speaking who spoke secretly and anonymously to The Sunday Times, women in Raqqa spoke of living under the threat of violence and murder.

One woman said: "It's true that in Islam the veil is a must, but Islam doesn't impose the niqab."

Another said: "There have been whippings of women because of this. Some women have even been executed. It's become a case of living under the sword. Either one has to dress in the niqab by force of be executed."

According to a report by the World Economic Forum, the gender gap between men and women in Syria ranked 133rd of 136 countries in terms of opportunities like equal access to human rights like education and healthcare. Female healthy life expectancy is 65 and 11% of women marry between the ages of 15 and 19.

From the article:

Everyone in the city has been banned from playing music in any public place

That's because of Muhammad who is quoted as saying: “Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance.”

Musical instruments, flutes, strings, and crucifixes! This command came with a warning: Muhammad is also supposed to have said that “on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress,” for “song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.” He warned that the Muslim community would one day experience times of tribulation, featuring “the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones.”

When his followers asked him when this would be, he answered: “When songstresses and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful.” There would come a dark day, he said, when even some Muslims would “hold fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments to be lawful.” (“˜Umdat al-Salik r40.0)

It isn”t hard to see why the creators of martial polities and new, aggressively expansionistic political and societal systems would disdain music. For music is an expression of the human spirit “the very thing that these totalitarians were trying to master. Totalitarian collectivists hate that individual expression. They are only interested in the individual not for the expression of his own soul, but as a cog to fit into his great machine that is marching toward the worker”s paradise, or the Sharia state, or whatever the outcome of their reign of terror is called today. As such music, is a rebuke to collectivism, and a defiant and joyful reassertion of the one thing that totalitarians fear most: the individual.

You say this because you are not a woman.

Maybe you are right. But in the end it's better for women to stay in their homes than being assaulted by Communist regime militiamen.

Syria was viewed as one of the most advanced countries when it comes to women rights in the muslim world. They even banned the face covering in the universities a few years ago if I'm not mistaken.

Well Muhammad had these Swedish girls in his time, Islam might have been much different!
