ICC Note: A new report from the Gatestone Institute highlights the treatment of women in Islam. The report details how Islam, as a religion, is indefensible in regards to this tenant. Men have complete authority over women and are permitted, within the confines of Islam, to beat disobedient women. Worse still, is the position of non-Muslim women in the world of Islam. Minority women are seen as prizes to be won and abused. In most Muslim societies minority women, Christian women are often abducted, raped, enslaved, and even killed according to the report.

10/04/2016 United States (WND): For years now, President Obama, whatever his connections to the faith that calls for the deaths of infidels are, has hyped the reasonable nature of Islam.

For example, he’s called the Muslim call to prayer “the sweetest sound I know” and has expressed “our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world, including in my own country.”

He’s claimed, “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance” and “has always been part of America.”

But there’s been one issue on which Obama hasn’t really elaborated: Islam’s treatment of women. And a new report from the Gatestone Institute this week details why that position would be indefensible.

“You do not want to be a woman in Islam,” said the report by Raymond Ibrahim, whose projects also include “Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians.”

He writes for the institute, which is a nonpartisan policy council and think tank pursuing democracy and the rule of law, human rights, strong economies, a military capable of ensuring peace, energy independence and a public informed of threats to liberty and speech.

In the new report, Ibrahim explains, “Islamic law, always harsh, is still harsher for women. According to the Quran, men have ‘authority’ over women and may beat them if they are ‘disobedient’ (4:34). According to Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, women are less intelligent than men – two women are needed to equal one man’s testimony – and the majority of hell’s population is made up of women, who are likened to donkeys and dogs in their ability to distract a man from his prayer and thereby annul it.”

And it’s even worse for women who are not Muslims.

The report documents the results of those concepts:

Abductions, assaults, abuse, rape, slavery, death.
