Bangladesh: Islamic organizations oppose proposal to criminalize marital rape
Why? Because criminalizing such a thing would be un-Islamic. A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning” (Bukhari 4.54.460). And: “By him in Whose Hand lies my […]

Bangladesh: Muslim arrested for sexual harassment is released, victim threatened, cheering crowd greets perpetrator
Not only has the woman been inundated with rape and death threats, but those who made the threats went away thinking they were righteous. The reason for that is embedded within Islam’s teachings about women and modesty, particularly the Qur’an’s statement that women should cover themselves so that they will not be molested (33:59). The […]

Bangladesh: Muslim leader says ‘If you want to establish peace, you should come under the shadow of Islam’
“We want a country where there is fair freedom of speech.
