<p>After spending the whole article teaching us that the ANC have total control of the country and nobody else has any hope of getting a look in, the Economist says:</p>
<blockquote><p><span>The best hope for the country in years to come is a real split in the ANC between the populist left and the fat-cat right to offer a genuine choice for voters.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>But hang on: the ANC leadership are black aren't they? And they are allegedly "for the people", socialist? But the Leftists have to call them Right Wing because, that's their term for anybody they disagree with.</span></p>
<p><span>So, next time someone calls you Right Wing, ask them: </span><em>"Are you saying I'm a black socialist?"</em></p> TERRORISMKhamenei characteriz…tag:4freedoms.com,2012-10-26:3766518:Comment:1142592012-10-26T18:45:33.518ZAlan Lakehttp://4freedoms.com/profile/AlanLake

<p><strong>RAPE</strong><br/><span>Rape as a concept does not exist in Islam as we understand it, the closest it gets is forced 'zina' (adultery). Islamic law does not consider rape a separate legal category but places it together with other sex acts outside of the marriage/right hand possession contract. Islam allows for various forms of rape and in some cases (hanafi school) explicitly condones it in the case of marital rape. Rape in islam (ightisab) is a property crime and cannot by definition be committed by the husband against his own property such as his wife or slave.</span></p>
<div>This is what <strong>'</strong><span><strong>The Reliance of the Traveller'</strong> says on this subject:</span></div>
<div>@M5.1: The Wife's Marital Obligations</div>
<div><p>It is obligatory for a woman to let her husband have sex with her immediately when:<br/>(a) he asks her<br/>(b) at home (O: home meaning the place in which he is currently staying, even if being lent to him or rented)<br/>(c) and she can physically endure it</p>
<p>O: Another condition that should be added is that her marriage payment (mahr, def: m8) has been received or deferred to a term not yet expired</p>
<p>As for when sex with her is not possible, such that having it would entail <b>manifest harm</b> to her, then she is not obliged to comply. If she asks him to wait, she is awaited, to a maximum of three days (O: She does not ask to wait because of not having finished her period or postnatal bleeding, for there is not physical harm entailed in her complying as she is, though if she fears that such foreplay with him will lead to actual copulation (A: which is unlawful under such circumstances), then she may refuse, as that is not obligatory). (n: w45 discusses wives' other duties to husbands.)</p>
</div>
<p><span>Manifest harm would be decided by a Sharia court. <span>A Hanafi judge takes a more severe view than a Shafi'i fiq one:</span></span></p>
<blockquote><div><span id="aeaoofnhgocdbnbeljkmbjdmhbcokfdb-mousedown">"For the Hanafis, a wife's sexual refusal was not grounds for loss of maintenance. However, this was because she was still considered "available" to her husband; he was entitled to force her to have intercourse."</span><span><br/></span><span>Omid Safi, Progressive Muslims: On Justice, Gender and Pluralism (Oxford: Oneworld Pubs, 2003), p.170</span></div>

<p><strong>JIHAD<br/></strong>Some Muslims claim that Jihad is an inner spiritual struggle. But it is only used in this sense in about 1% of its occurrences. Nearly all the time, it is used to mean physical violence enacted in the furtherance of the political ideology of Islam. See also TERRORISM.</p>
