Ozzie! Ozzie! Ozzie! Australia Overturns a ‘Sharia Will’ Created on the Basis That ‘One Boy is Equal to Two Girls’


I’ve said it before, and now is as good a time as any to say it again. According to Islam’s enlightened prophet, women are little more than a man’s possession imparted by Allah with only half the intelligence of her owner-husband, thus worth only half that of the superior sex and worthy of just half the inheritance that a male receives. Such intellectual and social deficiencies must therefore mean that it’ll be twice as hard for a woman to earn her way into Mohammed’s Paradise, which would explain why Mohammed said that a majority of the occupants in Hell were women. Fortunately, the land down under thought it over and recognized the insensibility of, well, someone’s lunacy. Kudos, mates! …

“The ACT Supreme Court has overturned a will created on the basis that ‘one boy is equal to two girls’ and therefore sons should get double the inheritance of daughters.

Fatama Omari challenged the legitimacy of the will of her mother, Canberra woman Mariem Omari, saying she had not known what she was doing when she signed it in January 2002 – two months before she moved to a nursing home.

As one of five daughters, Fatama Omari received just a half share of the estate according to the will, while her three brothers received a full share each.

Master David Harper said the will followed a precedent for Muslims, and Imam Adama Konda confirmed during the hearing that ‘the standard expectation is that a Muslim will leave full shares to sons and half shares to daughters’.

‘He said that one boy is equal to two girls,’ he said.

Master Harper ruled that the will was invalid, but only because she was likely suffering dementia at the time she signed it – not because it was otherwise invalid.

He said she had not understood what she was doing when two of her sons took her to a friend to execute the will in January 2002.

‘This is so notwithstanding that if it had not been for her dementia, she might well have decided to make a will in the same or similar terms,’ he said.

Master Harper said that several witnesses remembered Mariem Omari saying she wanted her will to be created in accordance with the Muslim faith.” Read more.

    One step forward; let’s hope no steps backward.
