A professor at Georgetown University is teaching his students that men do not need consent to have sex with women, and that slavery is justifiable under Islamic teachings.
Islamic Studies professor Jonathan Brown recently lectured at the International Institute of Islamic Thought, where he shared his alarming beliefs with students in attendance in his lecture, “Islam and the Problem of Slavery.” Freelance writer Umar Lee expressed his shock over the 90-minute lecture, which included explicit endorsements of rape and slavery.
Georgetown Islamic Studies Professor: Slavery OK, So is Non-Consensual Sex
So parents? Be careful what college you send your children to! These are the monsters whom have been embedded in our colleges whom are responsible for what we are seeing in this country TODAY!
What does the future hold for our country if professors like this our allowed to brain wash young minds being indoctrinated in our institutions of higher learning, being backed by Federal loans and funding?

But we have to be careful to not proclaim things like the outlawing of a religion. Why should my Islamic friend who constantly complains to me about Isis and organizations like CAIR that defend this crap be withheld from practicing his religion?

I think that the problem is that the Muslims who actually were able to assimilate and still follow their faith ended in the early 90's. They were the ones who escaped their countries becoming fundamentalist hellholes. What we are seeing now are the children of those who stayed behind and were brought up in the antiquated thinking.

A) So what? College is the place to become exposed to all sorts of different Perspectives!
B) What's the difference between this fellow and that Nazi yahoo Milo whatsisname at Berkley?
No difference at all, if you value free speech and are not some fascist.

Well yes you are right. I should have been lcearer, it doesn't have to be physical harm, it could also be emotional or mental. But I do know Islamic people that I do not feel practice their religion that causes harm
I also know Christians that use their religion to abuse.
Now I will admit, it seems like there are a lot (by a long shot) more problems with this is Islam practiced world wide.

Unfortunately some people just can't admit to themselves that sooner or later, for mankind to progress further, we are going to have to leave some behind.
Some of this ideology is so far behind it's mind boggling.
So just out of curiosity are Christians on the list or any of the Abrahamic religions for that matter?
Perhaps it is all religious ideology and doctrines that are the problem.
I don't have a list or believe one exists. However I don't see how any religious or any other types of ideologies would have a place as we continue down our intellectual growth path.
What Brown Actually Said
14. "Salam, 'slave rape' is a tough term to decipher from a Shariah perspective. A male owner of a female slave has the right to sexual access to her. Though he could not physically harm her without potentially being held legally accountable if she complained, her 'consent' would be meaningless since she is his slave." "This is Dr. Jonathan Brown, Professor at Georgetown University, AMA • /r/islam". reddit.
15. [1:19:00] "And the fact is that—and this is not to demean the status of woman in Islam or Islamic civilization at all, but a concubine’s autonomy was not that different from the autonomy of a wife, because for most of human history and most of Islamic civilization, women got married to the person that their family wanted them to get married to."
