A Feminist Critique of Women's Rights in the Quran

Since we're talking about the Quran, let's dedicate a moment to the alleged author, Allah.

Allah, in no uncertain terms, calls himself the best of deceivers not once, not twice, but at least five times in the Quran.

Now, as a woman and a feminist, let's talk about what it says about the fairest .

Muslim men can their wives and force them to bed anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstances.

Surah 2223 says, "Your women are your field.

You may enter your field whichever way you like." Two things.

Here, this completely eradicates the concept of consent and allows marital to go unpunished and unnoticed.

As of 2019, nearly 150 countries around the world outlawed marital in some form of the other.

Yet the Quran, which is meant to be timeless guidance, can't seem to get it quite right.

Women are merely objects, not human beings.

A Muslim husband can punish you and use your organs at his discretion purely to satiate his carnal appetite.

Notice the terminology used in the Quran, "Enter your field."

I can't begin to imagine how vulgar and disrespectful the analogy is.

Women also get the short end of the stick when it comes to inheriting.

Quran 411 states a man gets double the share of inheritance over a female.

A woman's testimony also counts for just half of a man's.

Husbands may hit their wives if they merely fear high-handedness.

Note, fearing something is different from it actually occurring, notwithstanding the fact that the concept of nushuz is extremely sexist.

Quran 434 says if you fear high-handedness from your wives, remind them, then leave them apart in bed and beat them.

It's safe to say, sorry, dogs in the West have more rights than Muslim women.

A man who beat a dog in America got 25 years jail time.

But in Islamic countries, men get off scot-free.

On Egyptian TV, they glorify wife beating, while on Saudi TV, a man demonstrates how to do it.

If you happen to beat a woman in a country with Sharia, you're a hero teaching his wife how to behave.

The Quranic manifesto is one of the greatest threats to women.

Women in Iran and Afghanistan are facing the brunt of this harsh reality as we speak.

The only people safe under this value system are straight Muslim men and nobody else.

Not myself, not anyone
