The never-ending quest to find something, anything, anything but Islam, to explain Islamic violence, Islamic supremacism, and -- in particular here -- the oppression of women in Islam continues. This one is particularly egregious: it's all about oil, you see, which is why Texas oilmen all have their women in burqas. It was oil that led all this and more to be written into the Qur'an many centuries before oil was discovered in Arabia:
1. The Qur'an likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used by a man as he wills: "Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will" (2:223).
2. The Qur'an also declares that a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man: "Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her" (2:282).
3. It allows men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with slave girls also: "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice" (4:3).
4. It rules that a son's inheritance should be twice the size of that of a daughter: "Allah (thus) directs you as regards your children's (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females" (4:11).
5. Worst of all, the Qur’an tells husbands to beat their disobedient wives: "Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them" (4:34).
6. It allows for marriage to pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures “shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated” (65:4).
But it's all because of oil, you see, and that's why wife-beating and child marriage are legal in Texas also!
Read the entire post at Robert Spencer's Jihad Watch. Truly delusional. Before oil was known to exist as any kind of resource Islamists were torturing their women in the most horrible ways imaginable. But who's keeping track of the facts, right? Let's pretend none of that problematic nonsense exists and blame it all on oil. Surely the appeasers can do better than that. As Robert points-out so very well in his list re-printed above, there's a ton of reasons such a ridiculous assertation is flat-on-its-face false. Islamists beat their women, stone them, and chop off their heads because of oil. They might as well have blamed it on the Sun for all I care. Islamo-fascists commit violence because for generations upon generations they are taught from the time they are babies to hate and murder in the name of Allah.
