Winds of War: The Lighter & Darker Side of Sharia Law

How do you solve a problem like Sharia? My apologies to the Sound of Music.

A polygamous Muslim lesbian by the name of “Aunty” has escaped from Sharia police with four wives.

A Nigerian lesbian who “married” four women last weekend in Kano State has gone into hiding from the Islamic police, with her partners. Under Sharia law, adopted in the state seven years ago, homosexuality and same-sex marriages are outlawed and considered very serious offences. Lesbianism is also illegal under Nigeria’s national penal code.

Since the penalty for homosexuality in Kano State is stoning, Aunty has had to go into hiding with her four wives.

All five women, who are believed to be film actresses in the local home-video industry, were born Muslims, otherwise they would not be covered by Sharia law.

Darn those movie celebrities. They’re even a pain in the ass in Nigeria.

“As defenders of the Sharia laws, we shall not allow this unhealthy development to take root in the state,” the Hisbah’s deputy commander Ustaz Abubakar Rabo told Nigeria’s This Day newspaper.

This has thrown Sharia Law into a tizzy. On the one hand Sharia Law doesn’t recognize woman-woman marriages but on the other they want to stone her - a punishment only for married people.

My, my, my. How do you solve a problem like Sharia? But all is not so entertaining in the land of Sharia. It has a darker side.

Fidan, her hair dyed blonde, is in hiding from her husband, who she says beats and rapes her. She is terrified her family will kill her if she goes home to eastern Turkey. Back in Anatolia, the 19-year old’s relatives believe she has brought shame on them by leaving her 50-year old Turkish husband, who is also in Germany.

“I won’t go back. I am afraid. Death awaits me there,” said Fidan, nervously biting her fingers and fiddling with her long hair. She has only basic German language skills and her lawyer interprets her broken sentences from Turkish.

Dressed in scruffy jeans and a red anorak, she looks like any other 19-year old Turkish girl living in Germany. But Fidan is alone in Berlin, looking for a job and understanding little of what goes on around her. She says she has no friends and, with a cover name to prevent her husband finding her, she has even lost her identity. Worst of all, she fears becoming an ‘honor-killing’ victim.

The UN reports that 5000 women a year die in honor killings around the world. In Europe especially, little is being done to stop it. In fact Europeans hardly discuss it. After all they must be tolerant of ‘religious’ and ‘cultural’ differences.

Here are the religious and cultural differences non-Muslims must tolerate in the case of Fidan.

At 14, she was betrothed to a cousin. When she said she did not want to marry him, Fidan was beaten. Only after she took handfuls of pills, hoping to die, was the marriage called off. Rumors started circulating the engagement was cancelled because she had lost her virginity, a charge Fidan denied but which would also damage her family’s honor.

Relatives threatened her, saying “bad girls” tended to drown or fall off a mountainside, but eventually they found a man in Germany who would marry her. To prove she was a virgin, Fidan says, she was raped on her wedding night. The blood-stained sheets were ripped from the bed to be inspected by relatives waiting at the door.

So where’s the legal protection of Fiden in Germany?

Fidan, who wants to take her husband to court for beating and raping her, has to wait another year before she can act without risk of deportation. In Germany, immigrant women have to be married for two years before they can divorce and stay in the country independently.

"Women need greater legal protection," said Bayram."The EU and Germany are helping women in forced prostitution and people-trafficking, but little is being done about protecting women from honor crimes."

Sharia Law is no laughing matter and must be recognized any time it raises its hideous head. The imposition of Shari Law is the non-violent weapon of choice used by the Islamists and the ultimate goal of Islamism and must be combated in all its forms in both the Muslim and non-Muslim world.
