women in islam/ LD

Sura 4 (An-Nisa') verse 24 Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

(And all married women (are forbidden unto you save those (captives) whom your right hands possess) of captives, even if they have husbands in the Abode of War, after ascertaining that they are not pregnant, by waiting for the lapse of one period of menstruation. (It is a decree of Allah for you) that which I have mentioned to you is unlawful in Allah's Book. (Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned) as unlawful, (so that ye seek them) marry (with your wealth) up to four wives; it is also said that this means: so that you buy with your wealth captives; and it is also said that this means: so that you should seek with your money marrying women for an agreed period of time (zawaj al-mut'ah) but the lawfulness of this practice was later abrogated, (in honest wedlock) He says: be with them as legitimate husbands, (not debauchery) not indulging in adultery without having a proper marriage. (And those of whom) after marriage (ye seek content) from whom you derive benefit, (give unto them their portions) give to them their full dowry (as a duty) as an obligation upon you from Allah to give the dowry in full. (And there is no sin for you) there is no harm for you (in what ye do by mutual agreement) in increasing or decreasing the amount of the dowry by mutual agreement (after the duty hath been done) after the first obligation to which you have aspired. (Lo! Allah is ever Knower) in relation to making lawful to you marriage for an agreed, limited period of time, (Wise) in later making this practice unlawful; it is also said that this means: Allah is ever Knower of your compulsion for marriage for an agreed, limited period of time, Wise in making such marriage unlawful.
This is called Mutta. Its nothing less than religious prostitution. You pay a woman to agree on a set amount of time for you to be joined together as husband and wife (temporary relations). Just a way to condone one night stands (for money). Not all sects of islam accept mutta. Sunni muslims say it isnt for today Shia say it is.
So muslims:
1) can have 4 wives
2) can engage in religious prostitution
3) can beat their wives
4) can get away with rape of women (seeing as a womans testimony is half that of a man she better have another witness)
5) are told that women have half the inteligence of men
6) are told that women make up the majority of those in hell

http://quran.al-islam.com/Targama/DispTargam.asp?nType=1&nSeg=0...

in many sharia states a woman isnt to leave her house without a male family member. According to sharia law a womans testimony (witness) is half that of a man. Thus a woman raped has no witness against their rapest. Even if they had a second female witness that wouldnt trump the man.

Quran verse 4:34 gives men right to strike their women if they even think their women will step out of line.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE/ in islam

Different english translations:
Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme. Dawood^[2]

Men are in charge of women, because Allah has made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah has guarded. As for those from whom you fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High Exalted, Great. Pickthall^[3]

Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. If they then obey you, look not for any way against them; God is All high, All great. Arberry^[4]

Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great. Shakir^[5]

Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whom part you fear disloyalty and ill conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance) for Allah is Most High, Great (above you all). Ali^[6]

*****Women in islam***
Is this how muslims honestly think they should get respect and order in their marriages? Muslim women are told they have half brain (vid below), half the testimony of a man (which means if they get rapped they need at least on other witness to testify against the man), and they are told they make up the majority in hell.
