Default love your wive OR take her for possession - 03-29-2005, 12:18 AM

@Coach
Paul was clear on this point "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ........For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.......each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5:25-33

The Quran, however, claims that women are a man's possession and a tilth that they can enter into anyway they see fit.

Your wives are AS A TILTH UNTO YOU; SO APPROACH YOUR TILTH WHEN OR HOW YE WILL; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to those who believe. S. 2:223
WHEN or HOW?????-

In fact, the Quran encourages men to deny disobedient wives sex as a form of punishment, and beat them if they persist in disobedience:

"… But chide those for whose refractoriness ye have cause to fear; remove them into beds apart, and SCOURGE THEM: but if they are obedient to you then seek not occasion against them: verily, God is High, Great!" S. 4:34 Rodwell

Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things THEY COVET: WOMEN and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the POSSESSIONS of this world's life; but with Allah is the best of the goals (to return to). S. 3:14
Further proof that Islam views women as possessions for pleasure comes from Muhammad himself:

"The woman IS A TOY, whoever takes her let him care for her (or do not lose her)." (Ahmad Zaky Tuffaha, Al-Mar'ah wal- Islam [Dar al-Kitab al-Lubnani, Beirut, first edition, 1985], p. 180)

Umar Ibn al-Khattab once told his wife:
"You are a TOY, if you are needed we will call you." (Abu Bakr Ahmad Ibn 'Abd Allah Ibn Mousa Al-Kanadi,Al-Musanaf, Vol. 1 pt. 2, p. 263- see also Al-Ghazali, Ihy'a 'Uloum ed-Din, Vol. II, Kitab Adab al-Nikah [Dar al-Kotob al-'Elmeyah, Beirut], p. 52)

The Caliph 'Amru Bin al-'Aas said:
"Women are TOYS, so choose." (Kanz-el-'Ummal, Vol. 21, Hadith No. 919)
