| IIIIITHE1IIIII said: You need to seriously think about the bolded. If the women have a strong faith then they would rather listen to a religious Imam than some Swedish laws. Those Imams said that it was the womens' fault that their husbands hit them and wanted to marry others. They also told them that according to Islamic tradition, it is perfectly fine for them to do so, and that it is their duty to sexually please their husbands (despite the fact that they'd already told the Imams about how they were forced to have sex). The "issues" is that 9/10 Imams (which also indicates a majority of muslims overall) are willing to put their religious laws before the country's. And thus, banning their religious laws obviously won't help. |
Huh, if that is what the Imams said, then I'm surprised there hasn't been disapproval by the public (especially the Muslim population) in a country like Sweden. The only Islamic "tradition" where this type of sexual repression of women is observed is in dissuaded populations of poor countries where women and children are (in general) given unequal recognition. So in a liberal country like Sweden, I wouldn't expect this kind of Imams to still have their jobs after this news went public (even in the Muslim population). I feel sorry for the women because what the Imams said was wrong and not representive of Islamic values. Nevertheless, this discussion is going off topic and you've answered my question so thanks.
