Girl chained for a week by father in Hyderabad

Evidently, chaining up ones daughter isn't restricted to Muslims in Hyderabad, India. The above photo is of a Turkish man leading his beloved daughter with a chain. Perhaps that's the Koran he's reading.

The step father of the poor girl in India just wanted her to "mend her ways", whatever that means. Chaining someone to a piece of furniture will certainly mend their ways all right.

I guess that's what meant by "equality" of women in Islam: they're all treated like chattel.

Girl chained for a week by father in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: A 17-year-old girl was chained by her stepfather to a TV stand for more than a week as her mother was fighting sickness.

Henna limped into a Hyderabd police station on Monday night, chained to a TV stand. Her stepfather Mohammed Akbar allegedly tied her with iron chains for more than a week, while her mother battled sickness.

Repeated pleas by Henna's mother, Begum, went unheard, after which she decided to approach the city police. The girl said her stepfather beat and verbally abused her almost daily.
"My mother used to take an injection to sleep after which I used to be scared so I tried to run away," said Henna.

The step father though claims it was only to mend Henna's ways. The police have now registered a case of illegal confinement against Akbar and are questioning him.
"He used all of his criminal force to control the girl, so she resisted it," said Sub-Inspector Nagendra Rao.

While the police has rescued the girl for now, the case throws light on the inhuman punishments still being meted out in by-lanes of Hyderabad.

Yemenite Cleric Abd Al-Majid Al-Zindani Presents "Scientific" Proof that Women Cannot Talk and Remember Simultaneously

Another sterling proclamation from a muslim "thinker". "Women cannot talk and remember simultaneously". Again, right from the horses ass.

Yemenite Cleric Abd Al-Majid Al-Zindani Presents "Scientific" Proof that Women Cannot Talk and Remember Simultaneously

Following are excerpts from an interview with Yemenite cleric Abd Al-Majid Al-Zindani, which aired on Iqra TV on October 23, 2008:

Abd Al-Majid Al-Zindani: Allah said, with regard to women bearing witness: "If two men are not available, then a man and two women, such as you choose as witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her." Some heretics – communists and other atheists – ridiculed [this verse], saying: How come a man's testimony equals that of two women? They used this to mock [the Muslims]. The Muslims used to respond that women are subject to menstruation, when their endurance and mental capacity for concentration are diminished. When a woman witnesses a killing or an accident, she becomes frightened, moves away, and sometimes even faints, and she cannot even watch the incident.

The American Time magazine, in its July 31, 1995 issue, published this picture from research about the brain functioning of men and women. This is the ma... This is the female brain, and this is an image of the male brain. What do we see? We find that in the case of women, this area... And there is another here... Two areas in a woman's brain are activated when she talks. As we can see, there are many centers of speech in a woman's brain. There is a center in each lobe, while in the case of a man, there is only one center, here. The opposite center does not operate during speech, because it is busy remembering. Both men and women have centers for speech and for memory. In the case of men, the center for speech is here, while the center for memory is here. When a man talks, his center for speech is active, and when he remembers something, his center for memory is active. On the other hand, when a woman wants to talk, she puts both centers into action. This may give us an explanation why women are more talkative.
What is the outcome of this? When a woman talks, she uses the part of the brain that contains the memory, because in the case of women, both centers function for speech and memory. So when a woman talks, she might use the part of the brain containing the memory for talking – and that's it, the data is lost. Therefore, if we need the testimony of women in cases pertaining to human lives, property, honor, or the stability of justice, we must take into consideration this fact of life in the nature of women.

Mecca: 19-year-old girl escapes after being chained by parents

Evidently, chaining ones female children is accepted in the Islamic world. The picture above is from Turkey. Also recall the case in Saudi where 15 girls were burned to death when the "morality police" refused to allow them to escape a burning building because they were "improperly dressed" This is Islam.

Mecca: 19-year-old girl escapes after being chained by parents
"Abdullah Al-Morai, a lecturer at the Um Al-Qura University in Makkah, said that chaining one’s children in such a demeaning way is against the teachings of Islam. He described it as an act of 'ignorance.'”
All right, Al-Morai, but in a world where some Muslim parents consider honor killings fully justified, and the Jordanian Parliament rejects on Islamic grounds a law stiffening penalties for honor killings, chains seem positively...moderate.
