Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood Warns Granting Rights To Women Would Lead To ‘Complete Disintegration Of Society’

Ending violence against women, treating them as equals and giving them the same human rights that Western women enjoy would very likely lead to the destruction of Islamic society. But because treating women as equal members of society and granting them rights would be completely un-Islamic, it will never happen. This statement from the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi’s Islamist supporters should be eye-opening to their leftist enablers and other lobotimized liberals. Unfortunately, the selectively colorblind have also become the masters of selective hearing …

“When I stood on the door of hell, I saw most of its inhabitants were women” – Prophet of Islam, Mohammed, Sahih AlBukhari, 5196

Daniel 11:37a, “Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women …”

Patrick Kingsley, The Guardian – “Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood have claimed that a UN declaration calling for an end to violence against women will lead to the ‘complete disintegration of society’.

Delegates at the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York have spent the last fortnight debating the wording of a declaration that would condemn violence against women. The brotherhood, whose close allies control Egypt’s parliament and presidency, slated the declaration in an online statement on Thursday – calling it a decadent and destructive document that undermined Islamic ethics by calling for women to work, travel and use contraception without their husbands’ permission.

In a 10-point memorandum, the brotherhood also criticised the declaration for granting women sexual freedom, allowing Muslim women to marry non-Muslims, granting equal rights to homosexual people, and allowing wives full legal rights to take their husbands to court for marital rape.

‘This declaration, if ratified, would lead to complete disintegration of society, and would certainly be the final step in the intellectual and cultural invasion of Muslim countries, eliminating the moral specificity that helps preserve cohesion of Islamic societies,’ the brotherhood ‘s statement claimed.

The remarks drew a furious response inside Egypt. Soad Shalaby, a spokesperson for Egypt’s National Council for Women, said: ‘How would this declaration lead to a disintegration of society? On the contrary, it will lead to women’s integration within society.’ …

‘We’re asking them to stop using religion and culture to undermine negotiations and to justify violence against women,’ said Lynn Darwich, a spokesperson for the Coalition for Sexual and Bodily Rights in Muslim Societies, who is attending the conference in New York.” Read more.
