DON'T DO IT...

Mohammed was very clear regarding the relationship between men and women. The notion he advanced was that marriage was a simple contract between a man and women. There is no sacremental component to a Mohammedian marriage, the contractual relationship requires the total submissiveness of the woman to the man. She will provide sex on demand, birth the children,obey the husbands mother, and in many Mohammedian cultures, be relegated to a virtual prisoner, told what to wear, now to behave,and to obey under pain of beating and possibly even death.The Mohammedian courts require three witnesses for women while men require only one. Women are viewed as chattle, owned and controlled by the man. A non Mohammedian female as a party to a Mohammedian contract "Marriage" is a sentence,not a marriage.
