Pakistan court acquits man who killed sister after parents’ pardon

A Pakistani man sentenced to life in prison in 2019 for strangling his sister, a model on social media, has been acquitted of murder after his parents pardoned him under Islamic law.

Waseem Azeem was arrested in 2016 after he confessed to killing Qandeel Baloch, 26, for posting what he called “shameful” pictures on Facebook. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison but his parents had sought his release, said Sardar Mahboob, a lawyer who represents Azeem and his family.

Islamic law in Pakistan allows a murder victim’s family to pardon a convicted killer.

Baloch rose to fame in a patriarchal and conservative country and became renowned for her bold and defiant posts.

Baloch was found strangled in her home near the city of Multan in Punjab province. She was killed after she posted pictures on Facebook of herself with a Muslim cleric, Mufti Abdul Qawi, who was later arrested for his alleged involvement in the murder.

The cleric was later freed as police said they could not establish a link to the murder.

The Wondrous Treatment Of Women In Islam

The purpose of this article is to show how the barbaric nature of Islam
manifests itself in the cruel treatment of women.

1. Lets start with the “great” Mohammed himself, the founder of this
“fabulous” faith. Mohammed was married to Khadija Bibi, his employer and
15 years his senior. At that time Mohammed was 25 years old. He was
Khadija Bibi’s third husband. Khadija Bibi was a widow when she married
Mohammed.

For the first time in his life, Mohammed enjoyed a luxurious life.

This shows the parasitic nature of Mohammed who married his employer so
that he can live a rich life without putting in a single day’s work.

2. Khadija Bibi died when Mohammed was 49 years old. Between the ages of
49 and 63 the “great prophet” married at least 11 times.

This shows how he treated the institution of marriage. For him, women
were nothing but objects for sexual fulfillment. Marrying at least 11
women in 14 years throws light on his insatiable sexual appetite.

Read on about the “greatness” of this prophet.

3. Mohammed’s favourite wife was Ayesha Bibi who was 6 years old when she
was married to him.

Marrying a 6 year old baby clearly shows that Mohammed was not only a
womanizer but also a child molester.

4. Mohammed’s adopted son Zayed was married to Zainab, daughter of Jahsh.

But one day the prophet “beheld in a loose undress, the beauty of Zainab,
and burst forth into an ejaculation of devotion and desire. The servile,
or greatful, freeman (Zayed) understood the hint and yielded without
hesitation to the love of the benefactor.”

Mohammed was not satisfied with his own overflowing harem and had to
marry his son’s wife. His son being a devoted follower of the “great”
prophet was more than happy to divorce his wife. What a great father-in-
law Mohammed was, a model for all Islamic father-in-laws!

Mohammed preached what he practised. This is supported by the following
verses from Quran and Hadiths.

Quotes from the “Holy” Quran on Women

II/223: Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate). So go to your
tilth as ye will...

Here you can clearly see how highly Islam treats women. Women in Islam
are referred to as fields that are to be cultivated by man. What an
honour for a Muslim woman!

IV/34: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of
them to excel the other.. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion,
admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them.

First point to notice here is that Quran clearly states that Men are
superior to women. Secondly, Islam instructs that a man should control
his women through brutal violence and fear.

IV/15: (For women) If any one of your women is guilty of lewdness confine
them until death claims them.

IV/16: (For Men) If two men among you commit indecency (sodomy) punish
them both. If they repent and mend their ways, let them be. Allah is
forgiving and merciful.

As you can see, for women any sort of sexual exploration is punishable by
death. Whereas for a man, any form of perversion is pardoned by the all
merciful Allah.

XXIV/6-7: As for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses
except themselves, let the testimony of one of them be four
testimonies...

Here we see, that a husband can easily accuse his wife (or wives) and
eventually sentence her to death by merely declaring four times that the
accusation is true. On the other hand, women have no such right in Islam.

Quotes from Hadith TIRMZI AND OTHERS

1. If a woman’s conduct is mischievous or immodest, the husband has the
right to beat her up but must not break her bones. She must not allow
anybody to enter the house if her husband does not like him. She has the
right to expect sustenance of her husband. (TR. P 439)

2. It is forbidden for a woman to be seen by any man except her husband
when she is made up or well-dressed. (TR. P 430)

3. A woman is not a believer if she undertakes a journey which may last
three days or longer, unless she is accompanied by her husband, son,
father

4. A woman must veil herself even in the presence of her husband’s
father, brother and other male relations. (TR. P 432)

5. She is forbidden to spend any money without the permission of her
husband, and it includes giving food to the needy or feast to friends.
(TR. P 265)

6. A wife is forbidden to perform extra prayers (NAFAL) or observe
fasting (other than RAMADAN) without the permission of her husband. (TR.
P 300)

7. If prostration were a legitimate act other than to God, woman should
have prostrated to her husband. (TR. P 428)

8. If a man is in a mood to have sexual intercourse the woman must come
immediately even if she is baking bread at a communal oven. (TR. P 428)

9. The marriage of a woman to her man is not substantive. It is
precarious.

For example if the father of the husband orders his son to divorce his
wife, he must do so. (TR. P 440)

10. A woman who seeks KHULA i.e. divorce from her man, without a just
cause, shall not enter paradise. (TR. P 440)

On the contrary, a husband can divorce his wife at will.

11. Majority of women would go to hell. (Muslim P 1431)

12. If a woman refuses to come to bed when invited by her husband, she
becomes the target of the curses of angles. Exactly the same happens if
she deserts her husband’s bed. (Bokhari P 93)

13. Women who are ungrateful to their men are the denizens of hell; it is
an act of ingratitude for a woman to say: “I have never seen any good
from you.” (Bokhari P 96)

14. A woman in many ways is deprived of the possession of her own body.
Even her milk belongs to her husband. (Bokhari P 27) She is not allowed
to practise birth control either.

Quotes From Sahih Muslim Hadith

Chapter 540.The prophet said that he saw a woman coming and going in the
shape of a devil and she fascinated him. So he came to his wife, Zainab,
as she was tanning leather and had sexual intercourse with her. That
drove out what he felt in his heart.

Chapter 558. The prophet said: “When a man calls his wife to bed and she
does not come, the husband spends the night being angry with her, and the
angels curse her until morning. The one who is in heaven is displeased
with her until the husband is pleased with her.

Chpater 576. The prophet said :”Woman has been created from a rib, and
will in no way be straightened for you.”

Anwar Shaikh, http://www.hindutva.org/anwar.html the author of Islam: An
Arab National Movement says:

“It shows the basic doctrine of Islam about womanhood, that is, she is
basically crooked, and man has the right to keep her under his constant
vigil; she must never be left alone.”

In fact, another hadith expresses woman’s position bluntly:

“I have not left any calamity more hurtful to man than woman.”

Chapter 619: Selling a cat, selling a dog (unless it is a working dog),
and earning of prostitutes(unless they are non-muslims),... are all
forbidden.

This verse encourages the Muslim invaders to convert women of other faith
into prostitutes for their own enjoyment as prostitution by non-muslims
is NOT forbidden. We can see plenty of examples of this throughout
history, especially Indian history.

Chapter 1140: The prophet said : “The majority of those who entered the
fire of Hell were women.”

So Islam considers most of the women are evil in nature and they end up
in hell.

Malik 362:1221 Ibn Fahd said “I have some slave girls who are better than
my wives, but I do not desire that they should all become pregnant. Shall
I do azl(withdrawal) with them?” Hajjaj said “They are your fields of
cultivation. If you wish to irrigate them do so, if not keep them dry.”

The next three verses are related to each other.

Malik 364:1234 If a woman suckles a baby, she becomes its foster mother
and her husband a foster father. If a man has two wives, and one suckles
a boy the other a girl, the boy can not marry the girl as the foster
father of each is the same.

The next verse contradicts the previous one.

Malik 364:1239 The rule pertaining to foster relationship only applies to
children under 2 years. Thus (Malik 365:1243) a grown up man fed with the
milk of a woman does not entail fostership.

Read the next verse carefully.

Malik 365:1245 A man said, “My wife has willfully given my slavegirl with
whom I used to cohabit her own milk to drink. What is my relationship to
the slave girl ?” Omar said “Punish your wife and go into your slave
girl”.

What more can I say about these golden verses from the “Holy” Quran and
the enlightening Hadiths— guidelines for every true Muslim!

Gazzali, the renowned Islamic thinker summed up the 18 pains that had
been visited on Muslim women as a punishment for Eve’s transgression in
paradise. The list eloquently shows the position of women in Islam and
how the social customs were backed up by Islam. Here Islam goes to the
extent of saying that even pregnancy and childbirth are punishments from
God. Such is the nature of the all merciful Allah!!!

The 18 punishments are:

1. Menstruation
2. Childbirth
3. Separation from father and mother and marriage to a stranger
4. Pregnancy
5. Not having control over her own person
6. A lesser share in inheritance.
7. Her liability to be divorced and inability to divorce.
8. It being lawful for man to have 4 wives but for a woman to have only 1
husband.
9. The fact that she must stay secluded in the house
10. The fact that she must keep her head covered inside the house.
11. The fact that 2 women’s testimonies have to be set against the
testimony of one man.
12. The fact that she must not go out of the house unless accompanied by
a near relative.
13. The fact that men take part in Friday and feast day funerals while
women do not.
14. Disqualification for rulership and judgeship.
15. The fact that merit has 100 components, only one of which is
attributable to women while 999 are attributed to men.
16. The fact that if women are profligate they will be given only half as
much torment as the rest of the community at the ressurection day.
17. The fact that if their husbands die they must observe a waiting
period of 4 months and 10 days before they remarry.
18. The fact that if their husbands divorce them, they must observe a
waiting period of 3 months or 3 menstrual periods before remarrying.

To enlighten the people who are ignorant about “Sati” Pratha in India,
this custom was a result of Muslim oppression and brutality. The Hindu
women of India, in order to save their honour, used to jump into the fire
after their husbands were brutally murdered by Muslim invaders. The
question that arises from this is why did they jump into the fire and
kill themselves? Why didn’t they just poison themselves? The reason for
this is that the lecherous necrophiliac muslim invaders did not even
leave the dead bodies alone. Yes, they had sex even with the dead bodies!
How disappointing it must have been for them to find nothing, but ashes.

This is only a handful of facts that states the true nature of Islam.
