Why do you say all Muslims are on welfare?

Question

Why do some say this? Why, if a Muslim woman is home caring for her children and home, is it automatically assumed she's on welfare? I'm a stay at home mom. I'm a Muslim woman. And my family is not on welfare nor are we anywhere poor in any way, shape, or form. I can get anything I want at anytime, literally. And for most Muslim women, this is the same story. If we have a baby, our husbands buy us 22kt gold jewelry sets and spoil the mess out of us! If we have an accomplishment we get that and taken out to dinner. Muslim men are seen in such a bad light. The media and some examples on the news make it look like all Muslim men are this way. They're not. The RELIGION of Islam says this is how a man is supposed to treat women.

And for that verse that says "beat" in english, in arabic it means to leave the area as that word does the other 5 times it's used in the Quran in Arabic. The english translation is not reliable. The Prophet (saaws) never hit a woman.

He never teated women even close to as badly as some of these animals of today calling themselves Muslim men are. The Prophet (saaws) would have these men divorced from these women and lashed for their harmful ways. Since they were oppressive, they may even have been killed for treating their wives like less than human. And before you say it's barbaric, think of the emotaional and psychological scarring not to mention the bodily scarring and possibly damage done in the southern reasons from the abuse.

If the Prophet (saaws) knew a man was abusive, he'd tell whatever woman was considering marrying that male and advise her to marry some other. He tried to protect the women from the abusive and oppressive animals.

So why do you say it's all Muslim men who treat women badly and all Muslim women who are treated badly?

Answer 1

I feel for you. However, I would not take the ignorant comments of a few people on this forum to heart. In a way, you are giving them more fuel for their fire of prejudice. I am an American woman who was raised as a Christian and I am married to a Sunni Muslim. We have been married for 25 years and people over the years have been surprised at what a good guy he is. The only way to change people is to live your life. Ignorance will not be stamped out by rage or frustration.
Go tell your husband all of the good things you wrote about him here, and be happy that you have a loving home. Few people on this planet can say the same.

Edit: Katrina, what about all the kids on milk cartons in the US? What about the fact that Americans can beat their kids and leave marks and bruises and it is not considered abuse? It is so easy to point fingers at other cultures. What about all the pedophiles on the loose in this country? Have you checked out how many pedophiles live in your town? You know there is an old adage that illustrates your attitude. "You are concerned about the splinter in your neighbor's eye, while you have a log in your own."

Em.......Islam isn't a rustic, this is a international faith and in basic terms because of the fact some human beings are Muslims, it does not cause them to criminals or the rest, it in basic terms makes them those with a solid theory. there are various human beings in the united kingdom residing on reward from atheists to Christians to Muslims, i don't see what faith has to do with residing on reward. There are a pair of folk down the line from my mom and father who scab off the equipment and that they are British born and bred. some human beings (in my homestead city) have a stick and it makes me snicker whilst they rush for the bus then play all ill and frail on an identical time as on the bus. This witch hunt for Muslims is only an illustration of organic lack of expertise and this is the scroungers who do not paintings who must be taken care of out not one team of folk. Then there are some people who come to the united kingdom from different countries who won't persist with our regulations and dismiss this usa, they must be made to or depart, this is undemanding. this is not racist, this is in basic terms that we've not have been given the room, this is useful. If human beings prefer to stay right here then high-quality, yet appreciate the country and its human beings and please get a job. That is going for the dissimilar layabouts to boot in view which you insult those people who do paintings and people who're on reward because of the fact they're ill.

Answer 3

Does this go for the preteen girls married off (sold) in Afghanistan, who are abused not only be their husbands, but also by their in-laws, to the result that women in that country routinely set themselves on fire in protest?
Or what about the women in the Muslim theocratic countries, who are regularly beaten on the streets, or beaten to death by mobs, because of arbitrarily being accused of being whores?

Answer 4

You spend too much time trying to defend your faith.
If your faith was perfect why keep apologizing for it.
Are you a muslim apologetic , or what?
We know what your religion is all about, nothing you say to defend it will change our opinion.

Answer 5

I never said that all muslims are on welfare.
