President Obama Says Muhammad Was "Not a Real Man"

In a shocking instance of lucid thinking, President Barack Obama declared that the Qur’an is “contemptible,” “uncivilized,” and “unmanly.” Okay, so he didn’t say it directly. But by condemning Ray Rice for domestic abuse, President Obama has condemned the Qur’an and Muhammad. A recent press release declared:

The President is the father of two daughters. And like any American, he believes that domestic violence is contemptible and unacceptable in a civilized society. Hitting a woman is not something a real man does, and that’s true whether or not an act of violence happens in the public eye, or, far too often, behind closed doors. Stopping domestic violence is something that’s bigger than football – and all of us have a responsibility to put a stop to it. (Source)

How is this a condemnation of the Qur’an? In Surah 4, verse 34, Allah declares:

Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath 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 hath guarded. As for those from whom ye 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.

Since domestic abuse, according to the president, is “contemptible and unacceptable in a civilized society,” the Qur’an must be contemptible and uncivilized.

Moreover, Muhammad himself, like Ray Rice, was known to hit women, as we can see in this excerpt from Sahih Muslim 2127:

… He (the Holy Prophet) entered the (house), and said: Why is it, O Aisha, that you are out of breath? I said: There is nothing. He said: Tell me or the Subtle and the Aware would inform me. I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you? …

Because President Obama believes that “hitting a woman is not something a real man does,” the president has just declared that Muhammad was not a “real man.”
