Domestic
Violence in the West
Does Islam degrade and subjugate WOMEN??
At a time when the hostile media is incessant
in its attempts to defame and ridicule Islam and the muslim woman, to portray
her as oppressed and abused, the following facts should be enough to prove
that the disbelieving nations are more worthy of the accusations they throw
at others
THE FACTS

* Each year 100,000 women seek treatment
in London for violent injuries caused in their homes.
[Punching Judy, BBC TV Documentary, 1989]
* Domestic Violence is not limited to physical assault. It includes sexual abuse and mental cruelty which undermine a woman's self-esteem. [McGibbon and Kelly, "Abuse of Women in the Home", 1989]
* Research conducted by Police found that 2/3 of all men believed that they would respond violently to their partners in certain situations. [Islington Council, 1994]
* Almost half of all murders of women are
killings by current or former partners. [National Working Party Report
