[chanchal malviya]

If you think I have not read Quran and Bible and saying so.. let me quote lines from your Quran and being a Muslim you can explain me the meaning of what is meant by 'Right hand possesed women"

SURAH 2.221: Don’t marry unbelieving women (Idolaters) until they believe: a 
slave woman who believes is better than unbelieving woman. Even though she 
allure you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: a man 
slave who believes is better than an unbeliever even though he allure you. 
Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to Fire. 

SURAH 2.228: Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly 
periods. Nor is it lawful for them to hide what Allah hath created in their 
wombs, if they have Faith in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the 
better rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is 
equitable; but men have degree (of advantage) over them. 

SURAH 2.229: A 
divorce is only permissible twice: after that, the parties should either hold 
together on equitable terms, or separate with kindness. It is not lawful for 
you, (men), to take back any of your gift (from your wives), except when both 
parties fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah. If 
ye (judges) do indeed fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained 
by Allah, there is no blame on either of them if she give something for her 
freedom. 

SURAH 2.230: So if a husband divorces his wife (irrevocably), 
he cannot, after that, remarry her until after she has married another husband 
and he has divorced her. In that case there is no blame on either of them if 
they reunite; provided they feel that they can keep the limits ordained by 
Allah. 

SURAH 2.336: There is no blame on you if ye divorce women before 
consummation or the fixation of their dower; but bestow on them (a suitable 
gift), the wealthy according to his means, and the poor according to his means; 
a gift of a reasonable amount is due from those who wish to do the right things. 

SURAH 2.337: And if ye divorce them before consummation but after the 
fixation of a dower for them, then the of the dower (is due to them), unless 
they remit it or (the man’s half) 8is remitted by him in whose hands is the 
marriage tie; and the remission (of the man’s half) is the nearest to 
righteousness. And do not forget liberty between yourselves. 

SURAH 4.3: 
If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry 
women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not 
be able to deal justly (with them). Then only one, or (a captive) that your 
right hands possess. That will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing 
injustice. 

SURAH 4.15: If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take 
the evidence of four (reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if 
they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain 
for them some (other) way. 

SURAH 4.16: If two men among you are guilty 
of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, leave them alone; for 
Allah is Oft-Returning. 

SURAH 4.22: And marry not women whom your 
fathers married, except what is past: it was shameful and odious, and abominable 
custom indeed. 

SURAH 4.34: Men are the protectors and maintainers of 
women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and 
because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are 
devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband’s) absence what Allah would have 
them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill conduct, 
admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them; 
but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance): for 
Allah is most high.

Husain Exhibition Attacked in Delhi
Re: Chanchal
Please, please get yourself some help, and also read a few history books and
the Hindu texts you supposedly base yourself on. And please don't be naive
enough to say things like in Christianity sex and love are equal and that
Muslims are allowed to have as many marriages. You have no right to make
unnecessary and sorry to say this but utterly illiterate comments like this.
You know nothing about Hinduism, Islam or Christianity, so please don't
waste your time or the patience of others.
Funnily enough, it is ok for you to make these hurtful remarks about other
religions, and you roam around scott-free while an artist of the stature of
Hussain is not allowed to paint what he likes. It is shameful that we have
to hear the voices of the likes of you.

> Jammu, Aug 25: The worst fears have come true and Poonch has started its
> process of becoming another Kashmir with 15 families of Hindus migrating
> from Dhalera and Bhench area of Poonch where 2 shops and one house
> belonging
> to Pammy Bali were burnt late last night while Hindus in Surankote have
> been
> asked to quit or face the consequences.
> Most of the families residing in Dhalera and Bhench area have finally
> migrated to Poonch late last night after huge crowds of Muslims attacked
> them and started burning their houses even as administration remained
> crippled for the fourth consecutive day in Poonch.
> With the imposition of curfew and army taking over the city the district
> administration seems to have gone in deep slumber with little concern for
> the crying Hindu population of nearby areas of Poonch where hooligans are
> openly burning their shops and house which included some government
> employees in presence of police.
> The separatist hooligans are raising pro-Pak slogans and unfurling
> Pakistani
> flags with the PDP leaders of the area taking lead in fanning the worst
> ever
> communal violence in this border district.
> The Vohra administration which is busy appeasing the Kashmiris seems to
> have
> no time for this remote district even as the local administration has
> already positioned itself in Hands-up situation.,
> According to reports emanating from Poonch district besides our
> correspondent Anibhav Misri's dispatches the Bhench and Dhalera areas are
> the worst hit at present with entire Hindu population having migrated from
> both the areas late last night after their shops and houses were burnt.
> Poonch residents continued their frantic calls to Jammu media seeking help
> and put the number of migrated families to 15.
> The residents said that the local DSP DR and two Sub-inspectors were mute
> spectators during the arson and communal violence yesterday adding the
> administration seemed hand in glove with the separatist hooligans who
> continue to raise pro-Azadi, Pro-Pakistan and anti-India slogans besides
> unfurling Pakistani flags in the area.
> Meanwhile reports from Surankote are also disturbing where sources said
> that
> around 12000 people assembled in Surankote bus stand shouting anti-India
> and
> Pro-Pakistan slogans and warned Hindus of the area to quit or face serious
> consequences.
> The protestors had earlier pasted posters in this regard which were removed
> by army as police was subjected to severe stone pelting after they tried to
> remove the posters.
> There were also reports that Muslims have given a Poonch Challo call which
> was however not confirmed till the last reports came in.
> The over all situation in Poonch seems volatile and administration crippled
> while Hindus are facing the brunt and with the start of migration Poonch is
> actually fast becoming another Kashmir within Jammu.
