NEW ISLAMIC FATWA: A
father’s lust for his daughter is not a sin if the daughter is over 9 years old
FROM SPEISA:
Diyanet is the highest
religious authority in Turkey and the final authority in interpretation of
Islam. It controls the country’s 85,000 mosques.
Recently the authority issued
a fatwa – an interpretation of Islamic rules – which created intense debate.
To a question from a believer,
Diyanet replied that from an Islamic view it had no impact on a marriage “if a
father kisses his daughter with lust.”
It was also, according to Diyanet, no sin “if
the father looks at his daughter and feels lust.” The daughter must, however,
“be over nine years old.”
This fatwa comes shortly after another fatwa
from Diyanet, which said that engaged couples should not hold hands, because it
could lead to other things, things that are haram (illegal) in Islam. In some
countries it could even give grown men a reason to pick up stones and throw
them at the couple until they are dead.
Put the two latest fatwas together and it gives
a view of sexuality in Islam that is completely unreal and disgusting seen with
Western eyes.
"Regrettable error in translations"
The fatwa naturally triggered a storm of outrage online, so much that the page
where the fatwa had been was removed. But it is still in circulation, as people
have saved it.
Now the head of Diyanet, Mehmet Görmez, tries to
fix the scandal and run away from the original fatwa. To the Turkish
broadcaster TRT, he says that the dramatic interpretation was due to a
regrettable error in translation from Arabic!
The new answer to the question of father and
daughter lust now reads, according Diyanet, that incest is a "pathological
aberration".
There is only one problem - which everybody (at
least in Turkey) knows. The religious experts at Diyanet are perfectly fluent
in Arabic. They never make banal translation errors like this, ever. But of
course, they had to come up with some lame excuse and this was probably the
least lame they could come up with during the urgent cleric brainstorming
meeting.
Saudi preacher who 'raped and tortured' his
five -year-old daughter to death is released after paying 'blood money'
Local reports say public anger over the
settlement is growing across Saudi Arabia. A ‘celebrity’ Saudi preacher accused
of raping, torturing and killing his five-year-old daughter has reportedly been
released from custody after agreeing to pay ‘blood money’.
Fayhan al-Ghamdi had been accused of killing
his daughter Lama, who suffered multiple injuries including a crushed skull,
broken back, broken ribs, a broken left arm and extensive bruising and burns.
Social workers say she had also been repeatedly raped and burnt.
Fayhan al-Ghamdi admitted using a cane and
cables to inflict the injuries after doubting his five-year-old daughter’s
virginity and taking her to a doctor, according to the campaign group Women to
Drive.
Rather than getting the death penalty or
receiving a long prison sentence for the crime, Fayhan al-Ghamdi served only a
few months in jail before a judge ruled the prosecution could only seek ‘blood
money’.
Albawaba News reported the judge as saying:
"Blood money and the time the defendant had served in prison since Lama's
death suffices as punishment." Fayhan al-Ghamdi, who regularly appears on
television in Saudi Arabia, is said to have agreed to pay £31,000 to Lama’s
mother.
The money is considered compensation under
Islamic law, although it is only half the amount that would have been paid had
Lama been a boy.
Despite Saudi Arabia’s famously strict legal
system, Women to Drive say fathers cannot be executed for murdering their
children in the country. Equally, husbands cannot be executed for murdering
their wives.
Formal objections to the ruling have been
raised by three Saudi activists, and the twitter hashtag #AnaLama (which
translates as I Am Lama) has been set up.
Local reports say public anger over the
settlement is growing across Saudi Arabia, with authorities planning to set up
a 24-hour hotline to take calls about child abuse.
