Via the Ex-Muslims Forum – “perhaps the only time when the misogyny of Islamic Fiqh could ever be described as a relief.”
It is narrated from Ibn Abbas that he said, “The female apostate is not killed.” This is because the unbelief of the woman is not equal to the unbelief of the man – which leads to (physical) devastation. So, she is not equal in the liability to be killed, as is known.
– Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi (d. 373 AH/ 983 CE). Mukhtalaf al-Riwayah,, vol 3, p. 1299
Makes sense. The woman’s belief is puny and weak compared to the man’s, so her unbelief is the same way, so meh – nobody cares. No need to kill her; keep her to do the dishes.

But of course, if she has the wrong dick in her, let the stones fly!! What a distilled illustration of the fact that they think a man’s reason for living is in his mind, but a woman’s reason for living is in her vagina!

Oh, thanks, Pteryxx, I forgot about images.

np, it’s one teeny way I can help. ♥

Part of this, I’m guessing, is that women are expected to just follow along with whatever their father, husband, or other male relative tells them to do. So, it’s assumed that she didn’t arrive at her opinion herself.
@Pteryxx (comment #3):
This is exactly what I was thinking.

If we were so weak in our belief, you’d think they’d be a bit more forgiving if we get raped.

@ Tabby, #7 –
Oh, no. WE are more forgiving of each other, because of our weak belief that our boinking is wrong. MEN are very strong in their belief that our boinking is wrong. In fact, they have to be extra, extra murderous towards us – with our weak belief, we need fear of being beaten to death to keep us in line. Men playing around? Meh. They have a strong belief that boinking is bad, so we can trust them to their own judgements about when it is justified.

I meant, of course, Tabby #6.
