Female Candidate for Egyptian Parliament: ‘Women are Deficient in Intelligence’ and it is ‘Not Permissible for Them to Be in Authority’

In what seems a rather counterproductive statement for a woman seeking political office — a position of “authority” — to make, one female Egyptian parliamentary candidate made the damning affirmation that women are “deficient” in both “intelligence and religion” and thus it is “impermissible” for them to hold positions of authority.
One wonders how Muna Salah reconciles her own candidacy for higher office then. Well, according to Translating Jihad, Salah justifies her parliamentary bid by asserting the role would grant her “partial” rather than full authority. If elected, Salah seeks to implement Shariah law.
A female salafi candidate for Egyptian Parliament, Muna Salah, said to al-Sharq al-Awsat that women are deficient in intelligence and religion, and it is not permissible for them to be in authority or to occupy the office of the presidency. She defended her candidacy for the People’s Council, saying that acting as a representative in the Council is only partial authority and not complete authority, such as the presidency of the republic. She added that she seeks to apply the Islamic shari’a, including cutting off the hands of thieves, preventing the mingling of men and women, and specifying black clothes for women and white clothes for men.
Translating Jihad also points out that Salah‘s belief in a woman’s lack of intelligence and religion comes from somewhere — and that she is in fact quoting directly from Muhammad, as recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Once Allah’s Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o ‘Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, “O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women).” They asked, “Why is it so, O Allah’s Apostle ?” He replied, “You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.” The women asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?” He said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” They replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn’t it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?” The women replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her religion.”
With candidates like Salah running for office, one is forced to ask: Where is the “moderate” Egypt of the post-Arab Spring?

Posted on November 18, 2011 at 7:39pmThe true problem in Egypt – women in Egypt are deficient in genitalia due to the Islamist practice of FGM (female-genitalia-mutilation) which is 97% in Egypt – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation . Islam practices of clitoridectomy, infibulation, and gishiri cutting.

Posted on November 20, 2011 at 9:33amThey mutilate female genitalia so that the woman has no pleasure during s3x. When a man provides a dowry for a wife, he’s buying only her genitalia…..he can do whatever he wants to her because she’s property. That’s also why they allow s3x with children, as long as they don’t damage the “parts.”

Posted on November 18, 2011 at 7:06pmThe female IQ gap is actually only about two points. The leadership gap is harder to measure, but I perceive that it is the more significant of the two. This would explain why our dear President paid his female staff members on average 82% of their male counterparts. The reason women have boobs is because they are designed to bear, nurture, and raise children.
This is the primary difference between modern Democrats and Republicans. Republicans believe their own lies, as evidenced by John McCain’s paying his female staff members 102% of their male counterparts. Democrats simply lie to a dumbed-down electorate in order to hold on to power in today’s radical democracy.
Islam has it right on this one. Women are happier, and society is healthier, when traditional gender roles are honored.

Posted on November 18, 2011 at 10:17pmEach side is using the other- liberals and Muslims. In bed with each other to achieve a common goal, total destruction of the western way of life. From the destruction something else can be born in its place. The Muslims want sharia and the liberals want Marxism. Each side believes it is superior and the change to occur will be what they want. It can’t be both. If they are able to achieve the destruction of the US and capitalism the two groups will fight unto the death of the other. Both groups seek world domination and their aspirations will not reach fruition without it. Both groups seek “peace” and the only way to achieve a true peace is by completely eliminating any and all opposition to your cause. However, as a Christian, I believe the only peace truly obtainable is through Christ- one’s inner peace. Without inner peace there can be no outward (or worldly) peace. Each soul is born with a conscious. And that conscious allows us to know good and evil. Man can not go back in time and unring the bell that was rung in the garden of Eden. Even if the Muslims or liberals are able to flip social mores so that what is wrong is considered right and visa versa they can not obliterate one’s conscious. Especially one who is a child of God and has accepted His son as their redeemer.
