Kudos to NCIS for tonight's episode showing Afghan women who suffer from physical and emotional abuse due to the inherent misogyny of Afghan men. The show revealed the intense hatred of anything sensual from a woman by men who invoke the name of Allah as justification for acid throwing or murder.
There were girls sold to men several times their age for marriage - girls as young as 13. We know that some are as young as 8 years old. They showed several women with many marks on their bodies from being beaten by their husbands. They also showed the extent that families would go to to find these women and kill them.
These are called honor killings and are supposed to restore the honor of the family. What honor can a family have when the husbands beats his wife mercilessly? What honor can a family have when a man in his 40's marries an 8 or 10 or 12 year old girl.
If that is a marriage that is honored by Allah, then I'm glad I believe in Jesus Christ, because He would consider that pedophilia and rape. Since we all have to stand before Him in judgement - even the Quran says so, an awful lot of Muslim men have a lot to be accountable for.
Please join my 3:15 PM prayer group and enable God to bring an end to dowries, child brides and honor killings.
