    In all realities of reality would some intellectuals truly adhere to such an ignoble principle?? This thought is incomprehensible and should not even be uttered!!! These are types of behaviours of the infidels satanic prectyices that have crept into African lands. We can see the impression of certain states who thinks that these behaviours are true in delivfering righteousness to the people.Mna is instructed to be the guidingh force of a family and the owman is the earth the cradle where the seed is left to bring forth new life.What prospect foes a a little child have being a partner andfrutiful delierer of consciousness in the rationale of Islam!!!? none this child moletsation it is inappropriate and distasteful. Many African children has suffred these evil demonic practices atthe hands of the oppresssors the deceivers the the enslavers the pirates the facist the imperialist these types of evil are not to be considered.What you seem to not recognise is that the family is a stable unit that should be honoured and the wife as was with Aisha a prominent fixture in Islam.The mentality of these practices were incorporated into Islam during the great period of racial enslqvement in teh 15th centurywhen the East and West were working in tandem to destroy Islam and the black componetnts that were part of the establishing realities that was the perfection of the Prophet peace be upon him'and the the many misleading information that was added to the surahs of the Quaraan'.Slavery and oppressionwas never condoned by the Prophet peace be upon him; he never ever considered that man shoudl be bought and sold neither did Christ peace be upon him'.The words and and untruths that have been added in thier names must be discussed gby intellectual Muslims who overstand the truth of Islam and the contiuation of the tradition of Israel from the beginnings of the monotheist ideologies that was born in Egypt which was the entire region of what we know today as the mid east and the continent of Africa.History does not begin with the Prophet nor does it begin with Christ peace beupon them both.History starts to be detailed with Adaam the prophet the first beliver Eve his wife and the legacy of Israel which brought us to Islam today.The oversatndings of these legacies are dep in the psce of the true belivers those that are true to the original and continuous teachinsg of what has been ordained by the TRUE AND LIVING ALLMIGHTY ALLAH" to whom there is no challenge there is no competition."SOVEREIGN AMD MIGHT IS HE" It is imperative that man remembers that the beginnings of humanity is over the million year mark we are not new to earth nor are we learning of Islam for the first time the contiuation of the the words of ALLAH has not chnaged since his giving us air to breat5he and life to live.We were buyilt with perfect and wize intellecvt we knew all the begginnings of the worlds and we were wize in all things if we were not then we ould have been set above all the earths creation nor would we have been set above the angels of" ALLAH" who do you think "ALLAH" is? "HE" is wizest above all creation, "HE"is the benifactor the CREATOR the UNQUESTIONABLE'PERPETUAL DISPENSER OF KNOWLEDGE NEVER ENDING '!!!!Muslims must grasp the morality that is expected of all those who claim to be of this ascendancy!!!! Many are called few are chosen? Having an Arab name does not make you a Muslim; we see this deciet with those who are living in Palestine calling themselves ISRAEL' when clearly they are LIARS!!!! demons jinns those of SHAYTAN and the followerers of evil, wars, conflict, untruth, deceit,murders kidnappings enslavement torture and the contiuation of the desire fo SHAYTAN to save himslef fromthe ineviatble judgement that will forever cast him to the complete death where the soul is confined to eternal fire an can never be resurrceted as this was locked into the concepts of the reality of the creation in the very beginnings."What was ordained can not be changed there is no will or enerygy that can save the disbelievers from thier misfortune!!
