Moderate Malaysia, a Muslim country where Islam is enshrined in their constitution and women are taught their place at an early age, is the breeding ground for such subjugated females. Yes, many in Malaysia are not as strict as these women, but the lesson is that as Islam gets more mainstream, more and more women will buy into the obedient wife syndrome and little by little, sharia and Islamic doctrine creeps towards complete domination.
I am surprised that feminists and Islamic apologists have kept silent on this issue. Didn't feminism preach that women are equal to men, and that there should never be a discerning line between the sexes? Doesn't Islam teach tolerance and equality, especially towards women? Would someone like to explain?
Esposito? Armstrong? Mogahed? D'souza? Anyone?

Malaysian women launch 'The Obedient Wife Club'

AFP - A group of Malaysian Muslim women say they will fight divorce, domestic violence and other problems -- by appealing to wives to be more obedient, according to one of the organisers.
Maznah Taufik said "The Obedient Wife Club" being launched Saturday is aimed at drawing women who will be taught how to please their husbands better to prevent them from straying or misbehaving.
"We just want to ask all the wives to be obedient wives so that there will be fewer problems in our society," such as infidelity, divorce and domestic violence, she told AFP.
"Obedient wife means they are trying to entertain their husbands, not only taking care of their food and clothes," Maznah said. "They have to obey their husbands. That's the way Islam also asks."
Malaysia is a Muslim-majority country, with some 60 percent of the population practicing the religion, alongside large ethnic Chinese and Indian communities who are mostly Buddhist, Hindu and Christian.
According to local media, the country's divorce rate doubled from 2002 to 2009, with rates higher among Muslims than non-Muslims.
Maybe the higher numbers are a result of women accepting that Islam is not "equal-opportunity" when it comes to marriage(4-34, 4-3)
Maznah said it was also the men's responsibility to teach their wives to be obedient.
Sura 4 verse 34 tells a man he should beat his wife if she is disobedient. I guess that is one way to keep them in line and teach obedience, sort of like teaching a horse to be gentle by beating it.
"Some wives, they just want to get married for leisure but they don't know the responsibility," she said.
"To entertain their husbands is compulsory. If she doesn't do this, the husband will look for another woman... and the house will break down."
I think Freud would have a field day with this, as it appears to be completely based in sex. Do what the man wants, whenever he wants, and however he wants it. In Western countries, that behavior is called rape. We know how Islamic countries treat an accusation of rape, don't we? Four witnesses, all male, must report they saw the rape in order for the woman to not be prosecuted for adultery.
I pity the women in this Obedient Wife club, they have been taken over by Islam and know not what they are perpetuating.

Infidelity and rape are mere concepts in Islam. Muslim males are allowed to procure as many as 4 wives, they are allowed to have "1 hour" wives, in accordance with Quranic teaching men are allowed to take as slaves and concubines the women/wives of a defeated enemy, and as you mention, for a rape to be considered "rape", the act must have been witnessed by 4 other Muslim males. Young Muslim women sentenced for capital crimes who are thought to be virginal, are "married" to a prison guard and then raped right before their execution, thereby preventing the woman from entering heaven.
Islam is a violent and misogynistic ideology, which explains why it's growing in popularity among prison inmates.
