Quran on the Bookshelves!

"then the messenger will say: "o my lord! truly my people took this QURAN for just foolish nonsense." (Quran 25:30).

1400 years of the book saved as a "holy" thing on the bookshelves & leaving Islam in the hands of bedouin Arabs, the scholars, Ayatoolas and etc. is the result of what Leila & what Ghazali said & what Khomeini did in Iran under the banner of Isalm. They all for sure going to meet GOD, the same with a 40 years who rapes a 9 years old under the banner of Islam! Without a doubt!

آزاده خانم جان عزیز . . .

خیلی‌ جالب طرح را کشیدید،بسیار عمیق و با معنا اسلامیون را به زیر پای مبارکتان له‌ کردید،ما که لذت بردیم..دستتان درد نکند.

امیدواریم که مملکت ما به زودی از دست این نا ایرانی‌ها آزاد شود.

The Defence Rebuttal

The defence believes without a doubt in the ridiclued verse's essence that:

"A spiritual relationship between man and woman is postulated as the indispensible basis of sexual relationship." Without such "love bound" humans are in the lowest of the low ("ASFAAl'E SAFELLIN," Quran 95:5). As the human's exclusive entity "the choice" is always ours! Be my guest, then the "old neighbor" dear! 

A 9-year old having sex with

A 9-year old having sex with a 40 year old??? I think that's worse than prostitution and pedophilia because you are allowed to do this by a religious prescription; not necesarily moral or ethical by or humanistic standards. Behaviors that are sanctioned by religion does not necessarily make them moral.

Putting up your daughters virginity for auction to the highest bidder is another example of immorality sanctioned by Islam.

"According to Leila Ahmed

"According to Leila Ahmed (1992), who traces the changes and varieties of discourses in the history of Middle Eastern Arabic women, it was in the Abbasid era that the word woman became almost synonymous to slave and object for sexual use. Marketing of women as commodities and objects for sexual use was an everyday reality in Abbasid society. It is no wonder that Muslim scholars of that period, such as al-Ghazali, mainly define women as sexual beings. This period was however constitutive for the formulation of Islamic law and thus had a profound impact up till today.

""Sabbah argues that: "Muslim culture has a built-in ideological blindness to the economic dimension of women, who are ordinarily perceived, conceived and defined as exclusively sexual objects. The female body has traditionally been the object of an enormous erotic investment, which has clouded (if not totally hidden) woman's economic dimensions" (1984: 16-17). In addition, it has led to the general eroticization of relations between the sexes. As a result of this, working outside the home by women is often experienced as erotic aggression.

Women are thus generally viewed as sexual beings. Whatever women do, they are first and foremost perceived as enticing bodies. They and their bodies seem to have only a sexual dimension. Working in the male public space is generally perceived as an erotic invasion. The male body, although sexual in the presence of a female body, has several dimensions, for instance, in the economic or political field.""

Islam and women - a case of bad press

Princess

This is the most well known fact about the pre-Islam Arabia.  The prectice of burying their newborn girls alive by the pre-Islamic Arabs was widespread among the lower and uneducated ranks of the Arabian society. Giving birth to a girl particulalrly in a family where there were not enough children to sustain their parents in an older age was considered a disgrace. This practice was not confined to Arabis (see Wiki reference)  Obviously it was not systematic enough to make a whole generation vanish. These are only a few of a thousands of references.

سرکار دمو

شما به این مطلب اعتقاد داری یا نه؟

"زنان شما كشتزار شما هستند پس از هر جا [و هر گونه] كه خواهيد به كشتزار خود [در]آييد و آنها را براى خودتان مقدم داريد و از خدا پروا كنيد و بدانيد كه او را ديدار خواهيد كرد و مؤمنان را [به اين ديدار] مژده ده"

A Cognitive Dissonance Sufferer!

Diagnosed by the dear fact finder on IC & frustrated with the inability to see the "truth" & by reading the "wild" statements such as:

"Where women can have sex with whomever and whenever they please without
their fathers, husbands, or brothers killing them based on [what some
may call] islamic teachings.  Where women can divorce their husbands,
and where under the law men, women, and non-believers are treated
equally....
I will keep my eyes open for your listing of a few islamic nations where people enjoy similar freedoms as we do."

And further by not knowing what "name calling" & what "islamic nations" reall mean, this commentator is resting his "insanity on IC" defence! Good  luck with the "persisting global Jahl."

Demo: Suffering from

Demo: Suffering from Cognitive dissonance?? Yes, It does hurt deeply to hear the truth.

Calling me names won't change facts.

To: Demo

The best response to those hateful people who keep berating the great religion of islam is for you and other nice islamic folks to list a few muslim-governed countries where women are free to live their lives however they wish.  Where women can have sex with whomever and whenever they please without their fathers, husbands, or brothers killing them based on [what some may call] islamic teachings.  Where women can divorce their husbands, and where under the law men, women, and non-believers are treated equally....
I will keep my eyes open for your listing of a few islamic nations where people enjoy similar freedoms as we do.

allah-akar to you.  :-)

Sick in Heart!

"Islam sees women as a sexual organ  without any feelings, humanty, individuality, or brain............" WOW!!!!

Could not have been stated any better from a sick in heart individual on IC. Fantastic, Indeed!!!

Nice

Azadeh jaan, nice work! Please keep it up.

بت شکن 

"This holy verse was communicated to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) at a time when bedouin Arabs were so ashamed of raising a daughter that they were burying their newborn female babies live."

Really? Prove it, please if you will, using other sources than Muslims. Have you ever thought, that if that was the case, how did the population of Arabia survive into the 7th century?

 Fantastic Azadeh. Islam

 Fantastic Azadeh.

Islam sees women as a sexual organ  without any feelings, humanty, individuality, or brain.

It Objectifies women;  strips down her humanity and dignity to a baby-producing machine and pleasure-giving sex toy  and a obedient Kolfat.  The only time women get any respect is as mother and that is not genuine either because the rest of her being as a human being is trashed and minimized.

 No other relgion IMH views women as cattles to be herded or property of a man. No other religion exploits women's as mere pieces of meat/slave.

Patterns on Wheat Fields

Great job Azadeh.

Women are not crop fields to be plowed by men.

And this is further evidence that the patterns on the wheat fields are not made by the aliens, but rather by religious zealots!

Women Are Not Sex Tools!

Rather they are mothers, sisters, & wives. Reject the western culture's demotion of women as sex tools. There is nowhere in Quran one finds the title of "Holy" for the book itself. That is a man made title. However, that book reminds me & you the "holiness" of the female womb (Quran 4:1) where a despicable drop of fluid emitted from between the male loins & bones there turns to a fetus & to go on. Let's then just remind ourselves of our own creations & where we are going to end up finally & let's leave Quran alone if do not like it & let's live the way fits us the best in full ignorance, the "Transparent Jahl," that is!  

You must read this within its socio-cultural context

This holy verse was communicated to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) at a time when bedouin Arabs were so ashamed of raising a daughter that they were burying their newborn female babies alive. What do you expect to have been decreed in the holy Quran: an equal opportunities bill for sexes? The reference/analogy to the field to be harvested is to do with fertility and the need/respect for procreation. Please think before talk.

Azadeh:

Very nice drawing and well done.

Mullah-kosh:
Liberals and muslims ALWAYS justify such idiotic views and even worse by reminding us that centuries ago Christians used to ….
We have had many 'honor killings' right here in America and so far not a single liberal group, including women’s rights groups, has voiced their opposition to such barbaric acts.

Azadeh

First of all, as a woman who has half the brain of a man, how dare you question Quran, and its holy verses? Secondly, as our good muslim, and IR supporters always say, you are just taking this out of context. When you put it in its proper context, the sentence you have here has a totally different meaning. 

Now, I am waiting on our good IR supporters(thugs) to come and tell us how to f**king put this in context. I am really curious to see how the meaning of this sentence changes with the "context" around it. On Women's Day, I will use that page of Quran that has this verse to wipe my ass with. That is all Quran is good for. That, and using its pages for my dog's toilet training.  

A real work of art only by a quarter - an earthy woman

I like the left bottom corner of your poster - a real work of art on its own, an earthy woman. Quran, Bible and Torah are fictional books – you should not take them too seriously.It does not do your art any good.
