I am really proud of Islam. We all should be proud of Islam. It has released women into freedom! Islam is such a tolerant and merciful religion. Therefore, never forget to repeat ad nausea "Peace be upon Him" every time you mention the Prophet's name. Here is the proof:
Women who pass by a praying man annul his prayer:
Narrated 'Aisha: The things which annul prayer were mentioned before me (and those were): a dog, a donkey and a Woman. I said, "You have compared us (women) to donkeys and dogs. By Allah! I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in (my) bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I disliked to sit and trouble the Prophet. So, I would slip away by the side of his feet." (Book #9, Hadith #493)
A Jew also annuls the prayers of a man:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Ikrimah reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas, saying: I think the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: When one of you prays without a sutrah, a dog, an ass, a pig, a Jew, a Magian, and a woman cut off his prayer, but it will suffice if they pass in front of him at a distance of over a stone's throw. (Book #2, Hadith #0704)
Prophet Muhammad discriminates even against black dogs:
Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of 'Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, his prayer would be cut off by (passing of an) ass, woman, and black Dog. I said: O Abu Dharr, what feature is there in a black dog which distinguish it from the red dog and the yellow dog? He said: O, son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) as you are asking me, and he said: The black dog is a devil. (Book #004, Hadith #1032)
Women are not allowed to travel alone:
(38) Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Prophet said, "A Woman should not travel for more than three days except with a Dhi-Mahram (i.e. a male with whom she cannot marry at all, e.g. her brother, father, grandfather, etc.) or her own husband.)" (Book #20, Hadith #192)
(40) Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "It is not permissible for a Woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel for one day and night except with a Mahram." (Book #20, Hadith #194)
Women are not allowed to mourn as long they want. Why only four months and ten days? Only Allah knows:
(49) Narrated Zainab bint Abi Salama: When the news of the death of Abu Sufyan reached from Sham, Um Habiba on the third day, asked for a yellow perfume and scented her cheeks and forearms and said, "No doubt, I would not have been in need of this, had I not heard the Prophet saying: "It is not legal for a Woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for more than three days for any dead person except her husband, for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days." (Book #23, Hadith #370)
Non-Muslims are also subjugated to the "law" of Shari'a:
(54) Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar : The Jews brought to the Prophet a man and a Woman from amongst them who have committed (adultery) illegal sexual intercourse. He ordered both of them to be stoned (to death), near the place of offering the funeral prayers beside the mosque." (Book #23, Hadith #413)
A woman is allowed to fast only with permission from her husband:
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: No woman should observe fast when her spouse is present (in the house) but with his permission. And she should not admit any (mahram) in his house, while he (her husband) is present, but with his permission. And whatever she spends from his earnings without his sanction, for him is half the reward. (Book #005, Hadith #2238)
As a man if you see an alien woman, rush immediately to your wife and have intercourse with her to repel the devil in that woman:
Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saw a woman, and so he came to his wife, Zainab, as she was tanning a leather and had sexual intercourse with her. He then went to his Companions and told them: The woman advances and retires in the shape of a devil, so when one of you sees a woman, he should come to his wife, for that will repel what he feels in his heart. (Book #008, Hadith #3240)
Jabir heard Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) say: When a woman fascinates any one of you and she captivates his heart, he should go to his wife and have an intercourse with her, for it would repel what he feels. (Book #008, Hadith #3242)
Women are solely beauty, status, and believers. Their brains are insignificant:
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: A woman may be married for four reasons: for her property, her status. her beauty and her religion, so try to get one who is religious, may your hand be besmeared with dust. (Book #008, Hadith #3457)
Women are crooks and useless creature:
AbuHuraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: woman is like a rib. When you attempt to straighten it, you would break it. And if you leave her alone you would benefit by her, and crookedness will remain in her. A hadith like this is reported by another chain of narrators (Book #008, Hadith #3466)
A woman who commits adultery must be stoned to death. She sacrifices her life for Allah:
Imran b. Husain reported that a woman from Juhaina came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and she had become pregnant because of adultery. She said: Allah's Apostle, I have done something for which (prescribed punishment) must be imposed upon me, so impose that. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) called her master and said: Treat her well, and when she delivers bring her to me. He did accordingly. Then Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) pronounced judgment about her and her clothes were tied around her and then he commanded and she was stoned to death. He then prayed over her (dead body). Thereupon Umar said to him: Allah's Apostle, you offer prayer for her, whereas she had committed adultery! Thereupon he said: She has made such a repentance that if it were to be divided among seventy men of Medina, it would be enough. Have you found any repentance better than this that she sacr ficed her life for Allah, the Majestic? (Book #017, Hadith #4207)
Women are simply bad luck, bad omen:
'Umar b. Muhammad b. Zaid reported that he heard his father narrating from Ibn 'Umar that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had said. If bad luck is a fact, then it is in the horse, the woman and the house. (Book #026, Hadith #5526)
Narrated Sa'd ibn Malik: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no hamah, no infection and no evil omen; if there is in anything an evil omen, it is a house, a horse, and a woman. (Book #29, Hadith #3911)
Women are breeding machines:
Narrated Ma'qil ibn Yasar: A man came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and said: I have found a woman of rank and beauty, but she does not give birth to children. Should I marry her? He said: No. He came again to him, but he prohibited him. He came to him third time, and he (the Prophet) said: Marry women who are loving and very prolific, for I shall outnumber the peoples by you. (Book #11, Hadith #2045)
A woman is an unavoidable evil, and marrying a woman is like buying a slave:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If one of you marries a woman or buys a slave, he should say: "O Allah, I ask Thee for the good in her, and in the disposition Thou hast given her; I take refuge in Thee from the evil in her, and in the disposition Thou hast given her." When he buys a camel, he should take hold of the top of its hump and say the same kind of thing. (Book #11, Hadith #2155)
If you incite a slave against their master, you are not a good Muslim:
Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Anyone who incites a woman against her husband or a slave against his master is not one of us. (Book #12, Hadith #2170)
Islam makes it difficult for women to divorce:
Narrated Thawban: The Prophet (peace be_upon_him) said: If any woman asks her husband for divorce without some strong reason, the odour of Paradise will be forbidden to her. (Book #12, Hadith #2218)
If you want to free a slave, free first the men, then the women:
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: Al-Qasim said: Aisha intended to set free two slaves of her who were spouses. She, therefore, asked the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) about this matter. He commanded to begin with the man before the woman. The narrator Nasr said: AbuAli al-Hanafi reported it to me on the authority of Ubaydullah. (Book #12, Hadith #2229)
Forced marriage and forced divorce:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A woman embraced Islam during the time of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him); she then married. Her (former) husband then came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and said: Apostle of Allah, I have already embraced Islam, and she had the knowledge about my Islam. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) took her away from her latter husband and restored her to her former husband. (Book #12, Hadith #2231)
No prostitution in Islam:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no prostitution in Islam. If anyone practised prostitution in pre-Islamic times, the child will be attributed to the master (of the slave-woman). He who claims his child without a valid marriage or ownership will neither inherit nor be inherited. (Book #12, Hadith #2257)
According to the latest report of the International Labor Organization in Geneva/Switzerland, (2008) Saudi Arabia, the cradle of Islam, and country that applies the Shari's law, is one of the countries which has the highest rates of prostitution in the world. It is all clandestine.
The son of a slave woman consummated by a free man is not allowed to inherit anything:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) decided regarding one who was treated as a member of a family after the death of his father, to whom he was attributed when the heirs said he was one of them, that if he was the child of a slave-woman whom the father owned when he had intercourse with her, he was included among those who sought his inclusion, but received none of the inheritance which was previously divided; he, however, received his portion of the inheritance which had not already been divided; but if the father to whom he was attributed had disowned him, he was not joined to the heirs. If he was a child of a slave-woman whom the father did not possess or of a free woman with whom he had illicit intercourse, he was not joined to the heirs and did not inherit even if the one to whom he was attributed is the one who claimed paternity, since he was a child of fornication whether his mother was free or a slave. (Book #12, Hadith #2258)
Lottery in Islam:
Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: Three persons were brought to Ali (Allah be pleased with him) when he was in the Yemen. They and sexual intercourse with a woman during a single state of purity. He asked two of them: Do you acknowledge this child for this (man)? They replied: No. He then put this (question) to all of them. Whenever he asked two of them, they replied in the negative. He, therefore, cast a lot among them, and attributed the child to the one who received the lot. He imposed two-third of the blood-money (i.e. the price of the mother) on him. This was then mentioned to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and he laughed so much that his molar teeth appeared. (Book #12, Hadith #2263)
A woman whose husband dies must not use any make-up, neither dress up as she pleases. The same does not apply to the man:
Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A woman whose husband has died must not wear clothes dyed with safflower (usfur) or with red ochre (mishq) and ornaments. She must not apply henna and collyrium. (Book #12, Hadith #2297)
Weird story:
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: No woman of Banu Qurayzah was killed except one. She was with me, talking and laughing on her back and belly (extremely), while the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was killing her people with the swords. Suddenly a man called her name: Where is so-and-so? She said: I I asked: What is the matter with you? She said: I did a new act. She said: The man took her and beheaded her. She said: I will not forget that she was laughing extremely although she knew that she would be killed. (Book #14, Hadith #2665)
Discrimination among animals. Kill only black dogs:
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) ordered to kill dogs, and we were even killing a dog which a woman brought with her from the desert. Afterwards he forbade to kill them, saying: Confine yourselves to the type which is black. (Book #16, Hadith #2840)
Expressing emotions is forbidden:
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) cursed the wailing woman and the woman who listens to her. (Book #20, Hadith #3122)
A woman is not allowed to give gifts to anybody without the permission of her husband:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: It is not permissible for a woman to present a gift (from her husband's property) except with the permission of her husband. (Book #23, Hadith #3540)
What if a woman has cancer in her private parts and needs an operation?
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man should not look at the private parts of another man, and a woman should not look at the private parts of another woman. A man should not lie with another man without wearing lower garment under one cover; and a woman should not be lie with another woman without wearing lower garment under one cover. (Book #31, Hadith #4007)
Strict sex-segregation in terms of clothes:
Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) cursed the man who dressed like a woman and the woman who dressed like a man. (Book #32, Hadith #4087)
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: Ibn AbuMulaykah told that when someone remarked to Aisha that a woman was wearing sandals, she replied: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) cursed mannish women. (Book #32, Hadith #4088)
Using perfume is also forbidden in Islam:
Narrated AbuMusa: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If a woman uses perfume and passes the people so that they may get its odour, she is so-and-so, meaning severe remarks. (Book #33, Hadith #4161)
Justice a la Islam:
Narrated Wa'il ibn Hujr: When a woman went out in the time of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) for prayer, a man attacked her and overpowered (raped) her. She shouted and he went off, and when a man came by, she said: That (man) did such and such to me. And when a company of the Emigrants came by, she said: That man did such and such to me. They went and seized the man whom they thought had had intercourse with her and brought him to her. She said: Yes, this is he. Then they brought him to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). When he (the Prophet) was about to pass sentence, the man who (actually) had assaulted her stood up and said: Apostle of Allah, I am the man who did it to her. He (the Prophet) said to her: Go away, for Allah has forgiven you. But he told the man some good words (AbuDawud said: meaning the man who was seized), and of the man who had had intercourse with her, he said: Go, you're free. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) also said: He has repented to such an extent that if the people of Medina had repented similarly, it would have been accepted from them. (Book #38, Hadith #4366)
Arbitrariness:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: A woman was my wife and I loved her, but Umar hated her. He said to me: Divorce her, but I refused. Umar then went to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and mentioned that to him. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Divorce her. (Book #41, Hadith #5119)
After all this, is still there anyone out there who claims that Islam is not a "tolerant faith"? We all should convert to Islam to later meet Prophet Muhammad and his followers in Paradise. I look forward to that! Don't you?!

Its a peaceful religion spread peacefull with a sharp sword by the rapist floppy leaky dik mohammad.
In Islam women are almost treated like godesses and the non moslems are placed on pedestal!
Islamic beauty is in beheading.The scene woth watching in riyadh on fridays.Allhamdulillah allahsabkalauda.
Islam is the most wonderful religion that teaches you how to caress children and sleep with them.
Islam is the only religion that allows man to enjoy camel and wives at the same time.
Is it not time to convert to islam?
Thank you for this
Thank you for this informative article Sami Alrabaa. I am really proud of DUMPING Islam. We all should be proud of dumping Islam. Therefore, I never forget to repeat without nausea “Curses be upon Him” every time I mention the Prophet’s name.
This article has raised some questions in my mind though. Can any fellow commenters throw some light please?
1. What is the fate of the innocent child born of adultery in Islamic countries.
2. According to the two contradictory hadiths quoted above about women not being allowed to travel more than either 1 or 3 days without a mahram (male family escort). Why is it that women are not even allowed to go shopping for even 1 second out of their homes without one?
3.Quote: "Jabir heard Allah’s Apostle (may piss be upon him) say: When a woman fascinates any one of you and she captivates his heart, he should go to his wife and have an intercourse with her, for it would repel what he feels."
Does this mean then that Muslims are allowed to close their eyes and fantasize that they are actually having sex with this "fascinating" woman? Is this not condoning adultery of the mind?
4.Quote: "AbuHuraira (Allah be displeased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (may piss be upon him) as saying: woman is like a rib. When you attempt to straighten it, you would break it."
Is this a reference to Genesis in the Bible where it says that Eve was created from Adam's rib? Hence the silly accusation by macho males that all women are crooked and not to be trusted?
To tell you the truth I never
To tell you the truth I never really gave a rat's ass to all these hadith before. It was only after I started visiting FFI did I realise the importance of Hadith in Islam and it was only after that I started giving a serious tudy to these traditions of the Nabi (may the curse of the wild pigs and black dogs be upon him).
The more I went on to study these hadiths the more convinced I got that there is no way in hell that Islam can be reformed. Hence I came to the same conclusion as Ali Sina and many of Ex-Muslims, that Islam cannot be reformed by it can be demolised, bulldozed like a building. The mortar, of the fortress of Islam has already begun chiselling out, slowly the bricks will fall and then the foundation will give in. That will be the day when Muslims will experience Freedom for the first time after 1500 years of tyrany and brutal suppression.
I just hope that I get to see that day in my lifetime... Inshallah

How can the KKK be reformed.
How can the KKK be reformed. Catholicism was reformed because the bible never said kill anyone, so they made an attempt to return to true christianity. This made them look good. Most slavers in America were Protestants, but Catholics elsewhere.
Reinforming Islam is like changing an apple into a watermelon. No Way! If the Quran was written in perfect Arabic by The allah/god with no name. This means that it will always be that the earth if lat as a carpet and sperm created man. Now sperm if already alive, where did the sperm come from if man was not created. angels dont precreate. In fact, there is no male or female in heaven according to Jews, just spirit angels. Matt.22:30. Muhammad made Paradise interesting so Muslims converts love that 90 feet big breasted white virgins and 28 boys white as egg shells enough to kill to get there. He never got his virgins immediately as he died from food poisoning. He was like the godfather who sent others out to do his bidding.
Amazing how the Pope doesnt seem to realize that the reason why the Vatican is bricked around was to keep out the Muslims while they were planning to take over the Byzantines. The Italians fought back and the Mafia was born to defeat and protect the Italian people from Muslims.
Hindus fought back and stopped the total annihilation of the Hindus and Indian population. Today, Pakistan is teaching their children that India was once Pakistan until the infidels, the Brits and Hindus split it up. Now we all know what happened. I guess king Bikram was from Pakistan, when there was no Pakistan until 1948 and no Bangladesh until 1975. Indo-European is Pakistan today?
You cannot reform cancer, you destroy it or let it destroy you.
True Rasin head and at the
True Rasin head and at the end of the day the battle will be fought on the streets. I know that dammn well. There is no way that Muslims will give up without trying their best to completely anhilate the plannet earth. So its time for us infidels to get prepared for the big showdown. No matter what Muslims say, never pay attention, not unless they stand besides you abusing Muhammad and his wreched Cult.
All I feel today for that man is an extreme sense of hatred towards that evil scum, that son of bitch. If only I could I would go to mecca and stand on the kabba and abuse muhammad on the top of my voice and I know that day is approaching fast.
Ibrahim, I liked your vision
Ibrahim, I liked your vision but I feel it is unrealistic at the moment. The Muslims are becoming vicious day by day. If Islam has to break, it should start with Arabia--the land where that pedophile rascal was born. However, as long as petrodollar exists nothing much can be done. In India, Kashmir is already lost to Islam. Kerala is becoming a hotbed for Jihadi activities. Christian lunatics in India are joining hands with Jihadis; so are the communists. The situation looks bit wizard now.

May God Bless u all
My dear commentators,
My dear commentators,
lets have a positive look on these hadiths. As we all know that Allah made women soft heart, hummble, and beautiful. Islam said that women have to remain in hijab because when a man look a women wearing the short clothes automatically his sense of sex arise. and he will try to rape this women.
and the clear example of this situation is available in european and american countries.rape rate is very high in these countries just because of extra freedom of women.Thats why the AIDS rate is also high in these countries.European and american countries always make noise about the women rights. But we all know that in the name of women right they send their wives for job even in pregnancy they went for job and after job they come to home and do all domestic works. Is this women rights? Islam clearly said that as man is strong so he has to go outside home try to fascilitate his wife and children through work.and wife has to stay at home to do all domestic works.
we all can observe that in co-education school and colleges rape case rates are so high even in pakistan.
islam said that when women come out of home she has to cover herself completely because it is for the betterment of envoinment and commnity.
please think with positive mind you will get your all answers because Islam is the religion of every age and time.
and please dont abuse any religious personality because their followers got hurt with this type of language.
The numbers of assaults, rape
The numbers of assaults, rape and even gang rape by Muslim guys is extremely high in Europe, but also Australia, for example.
This issue will come to the agenda at the lastest in a few years - there is already much grassroots activism, websites set up by people who CARE, occasional articles by journalists.
After a few articles the buzz stops because Europeans are still afraid of speaking out the truth: Through socialization, Muslim guys have been turned into rapists to a far greater degree than non Muslim ones (I still rmmbr with discomfort the gang rape of a horribly defaced girl by some Muslim guys in Australia, their families in court complaining loudly why their "boys" are being punished while the "whore" isn't).
95% of sexual violence is not by "drive" or perversion, but happens at opportunity according to psychiatric science. Now if a guy is told from childhood on he "might" feel compelled to rape a "wh***" in a short skirt who dares to be out at night just like he is - he might not feel the conscience of a normal human being/man to NOT rape someone just because they re in the street and pretty.
So reconsider your "rape numbers" by the fact Muslim guys are disproportionately responsible for them. At the moment this is kept in the closet - as well as the hell women (and homosexuals and Jews) live in French, Danish, Swedish, German, UK, Dutch cities with major Muslim populations through harassment, at day and night, of sexual or racist or homophobic nature. The people know, it will take some time for it to be printed.
Once the "cat will be out of the sack", there will be enormous outrage. Better get these facts out of the closet before more and more victims accumulate and the response by European populations might be disproportionate and directed towards all Muslims, in the worst case.
So: Transparency in criminal statistics. NOW. to show the scope of the problem we are facing.
@wagamama: I agree with you -
@wagamama:
I agree with you - the Indian Christians I have met are about as scary as the Muslims. Just like in the Arab countries - they share a lot of ideology and are complices in locking women in. Indian Christians for instance practice sex segregation and strictest morals/division of humanity in man/woman just like Muslims.
