UK’s First Female Sharia Council Judge Defends Rape and Violence

During a television segment on the Today Programme, BBC reporter Nick Robinson had a heated debate with Dr. Amra Bone, a lecturer in Islamic Law and Islamic Studies regarding the oppressive nature of Sharia councils, which have notoriously been used as outlets that support wife-beating and ignore marital rape.

Under Sharia law, men have complete superiority over women and a wife is expected to be a slave to her husband. Sharia law stresses that women must obey and deeply respect their husbands, and it gives a husband the right to punish his wife through beatings if she disobeys his authority or rules.

Why any female would ever serve as a Sharia council judge to defend Sharia law is beyond fathomable, but Dr. Amra Bone, a lecturer in Islamic Law and Islamic Studies defended the Sharia councils saying, “the majority were set up to help women to move on with their lives because that is exactly what they wanted.”

Yes. That’s right. Amra is suggesting that women want to be treated like dogs who must obey their masters. But, even my dog is treated better than a woman living under Sharia Law.
