Cherry Blair should brush up on her Islamic theology before she shoots
her mouth off:
"Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior
to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them.
Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has
guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish
them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you,
take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme."
(Koran, 4:34)
"And get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two
men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so
that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses
should not refuse when they are called on."
(Koran 2:282)
