Answer 1

where did you get all this information from?? or are you just assuming

Women do not pray in a seperate mosque, but in a different room
i dont' think the women accept abuse
yes women can vote, whilst living in Bahrain muslim women ran for government too

Answer 2

I didn't know yahoo was having a sale - how else could you be allowed to ask so many questions for the same five points? I see EIGHT there.
Ref your Q1, what is a mogue? I've never heard of that before.
Apart from that, as I'm neither moslem nor female, I really can't participate any further, except to say what is a moslem - I always thought they were Muslim.

Answer 3

Why do people say anything about others? It is easier to judge than to be judged. I have seen my share of oppressed women (some men too) in several countries. And the oppressor is usually a confused, hurt, and fearful man, one who uses religion, family, strength and woman's emotions to control and intimidate. The particular view of Muslim Women comes from media pictures of extreme interpretations of leaders who use the Qua-ran or Koran to oppress women. The same happens in other religions. Those women who honestly campaign against their own Muslim oppression, point out that the leaders are misinterpreting and spreading false doctrine. This doctrine feeds the men's need to protect and restrict women, particularly in the area of men's perceptions of sexuality as a temptation and a desire. The west's paradox is that we are free to express without understanding that expression has consequence. I am free to view pornography, but should I? The west has a lot, but that does not mean that the rest of the world is unhappy. (Sometimes I think we are the most unhappy and seek the wrong things) The Muslim faith will probably evolve a clear consensus of gender roles after understanding that some of the west's influences are 'bad,' but are not to be feared, blamed or fought. When a reformation leads to a consensus of Imam's that it is not a fight of nations, but of the people in themselves with their place in a material world.

Answer 4

firstly, it is not "mogues" it is mosque and it is not different it is the same but different areas. the reason is to be able to socialize easily and keep up modesty and respect for each other.
second, well muslim women know their own values and have respect for them. it is just that some dont respect them selves for it.
Third, do you know that the Mother has a more impact on the child than the father has, it is because the child is brought by the mother than the Father. e.g the source for it's food is the mothers milk,etc.
fourth, it is not illegal if the intents are not unlawful, as in it does not lead to Adultry or bad thoughts. but it all depends on your thoughts, how you think of it.
Fifth, it is not allowed for any muslim man to abuse the rights of a muslim women. it is said that if a man does that it means that he doesnot have his moral respect and dignity of his own self. But mostly women have the right to complain about their abuses to anyone especially their families
Sixth, women are allowed the right to vote for their rights as well as for the community as a whole, to such an extent they are allowad to give ideas and solutions to things in that affect them in one way or the other.
Seventh, look at todays world, do you find and muslim girl not being educated upto where she want's to reach. e.g upto a PHD or a Masters degree, etc
Think twice before the questions are asked

Answer 6

1-
we do not attened different places of worship, women and men are seperated at the time of prayer because this is exactly what the person should be doing- praying and not observing who is around them & this is more likely to happen if women stood in front of men whilst praying.How ever having said that it is fine for women to pray behind men.

2-
Of course Muslim women know their value in society. I have never heard of a woman seeking refuge to be free especially in this day & age. Your views are of old times & these practices hardly exist anymore. Many Islamic women are part of the working class society, not to mention highly educated, and I am one of them.

3-
Muslim women have the exact duties a non-Muslim women does around her house. Cleaning and tidying is a very common practice in every bodys life.If the woman is a stay at home mum then I guess this is her full time job...A question for you now, is it only seen as a 'opression' when a Muslim women stays home & does these duties but when a western woman does her 'housewife' status is equal to two full time jobs?
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was a very helpful man & he helped his wife with household duties, therefor Muslim men do the same.

4-
it is not illegal to look at a man in the eyes when talking but it is more a gesture of respect and purity if you glance away. Some people are easilly seduced or impure thoughts cross their minds when they are staring into some body elses eyes I guess this is why it is seen as a romantic thing. So Muslims should display modesty and respect by lowering their gaze.

5-
Again we come back to an assumption or stereotype you have about Muslims. Muslim men are not only raised to respect and treat women affectionatly they are also told to do so religiously. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was one of the most kind individuals created and he only ever treated his wives with respect, love & tolerance, so as I mentioned before Muslims follow the teachings of the Prophet and adapt his characteristics.
I'm not saying some men don't hit their wives, all I am making clear is that if they do it is un-Islamic. On that note lets not forget most abuse cases are done at the hands of non-Muslim western men.

6-
Yes Muslim women are allowed to vote, In several Middle Eastern countries women are part of the government. The rights they are allowed to have are the same as any other woman.
In terms of decision making in the 'Muslim world' it is not up to any body to make decisions because the Sharia Law is enforced and these laws just like all Islamic data can not be modified or edited.

7-
Yes all Muslims are encouraged to keep learning just as the Prophets did because knowledge after all is wisdom. In regards to the 'government' being in charge I guess it depends on which country your talking about. The Taliban prevented women learning & being schooled in Afghanistan and that was completly wrong because it goes against what the relgion implies which is to give women rights according to Islamic Law and preventing education is not part of it.
Cases like that are extreme and these Muslims are really not practicing the religion the way it is intended.

Oh & before I forget Muslim women DO NOT respect the ground men walk on, we display affection, respect & love to our men the way any wife would but not to every action they make. They are not our Lord. We respect and love our creator Allah (swt) far above anything.

Answer 7

Social behavior, like all facets of the life of Muslims, is influenced by Islamic principles. The manner in which one interacts with others is a manifestation of her or his faith in God. Muslims follow the guidelines outlined in the Qur'an and Sunnah, not simply as an act of worship, but as an acceptance of the wisdom of God in guiding them to achieve their greatest potential in this life and salvation in the Hereafter. An analysis of the Islamic principles regarding the relationships between men and women will further clarify this point

Answer 8

1. It depends on which Mosque. But in most mosque, the women sit behind the men. In prayer, we are not to have any sexual thoughts. And in prayer we have to bend, if women where among the men, the men would see the women bend and they wouldn't be focused on prayer would they? The same reason why you have separate bathrooms for men and women.

2.) women are people of the Earth, we can do what we choose except disobey our husbands if he isn't telling us to do something wrong, break God's Laws, or associate anything with God. We can do what we wish. Remember the best scholar of Islam, the first convert, and some Muslim presidents have been or are women.

3.) Yes, women are equal to men as far as being righteous, and in Islam, women are protected like Jewels. But as far as the household, men is a degree above women because God has placed the desire in men to provide for the household and give to their wives what they ask. As a Muslim, I think a family works best this way. Women are to obey men, but at the same time, Men must be courteous and respectful to their wives. It is a big deal because the Quran tells us this. there has to be a leader in each family.

4.) It is not illegal to look men in the eye. Women and Men are told to lower their gaze, which means if we catch ourselves staring at the opposite sex, trans by their attractiveness, we must look away. In Islam, we can't just look people up and down and think that God will be happy with us. Sexual Gazing leads to fornication and adultary, and puts sinful thoughts in your head.
Nine times out of ten, if you see someone attaractive, you're going to stare at them, so usually I don't look in the eyes of men whom I find attractive, a fire could unite. I haven't found a way to treat men socially, when I nice it seems like I'm flirting or interested.

5.) Muslim women are not to tolerate abuse from their counterparts. Infact the Quran makes it almost impossible for a men to treat his wife ill. even if she does lewdness behavior, he is to stop being ill when she repends and corrects her self. Muslim men have to be tolerant, and women obedient.

6.) Yes, No Taliban Afgahnatan, those people were oppresive,
but most other Muslim countries enjoin women rights, and agian some have and have had women presidents and rulers.

7.) Yes, haven't you seen Muslims women from different countries in colleges. Yes, most countries give women education. Prophet Muhammad said if anyone teaches a least two women, he gets a great blessing from God. In Islam women and men are supposed to seek knowledge. this is a part of our faith. Prophet Muhammad use to teach women. And when it comes to women and men, there is no excuse not to be rioghteous, they are equal in this sence. They have colleges and schools just like us, but the classes are separated by sex.

Answer 10

1. A Muslim woman's place is home. Muhammad said that a woman's prayer in her house is better than her prayer in mosque, and her prayer in her bedroom is better than her prayer in her house. However, women are allowed to go to mosque if they wear the hijaab and a complete body covering and wear no perfume. They cannot go without their husbands' permission, and they always pray in a separate room or behind partitions. If they break any of these rules their husbands can stop them from going. Source: http://www.islam-qa.com/index.php?ref=983&ln=eng&txt=women%20mosque

2. Depends on the country. Women from moderate Islamic countries like Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan are considered more liberated than other women in the Middle East. Women who come from religious Islamic countries (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, etc.) are suppressed. Also, many are illiterate, abused, and uneducated, and so do not even know they have rights. In Taleban Afghanistan, only 15% of the women could read and write; Amnesty International believes that 70% of Pakistani women are beaten by their husbands, and the Pakistani Medical Association puts that figure at 90%.

3. A moderate Muslim cleric will say that a woman's place is home, cooking, cleaning, and childrearing, while a man must be the breadwinner. Whether or not women go to school and get jobs is the decision of their parents. A woman can only work if she can handle her domestic life first. (http://www.islam-qa.com/index.php?ref=286&ln=eng&txt=women%20working)

4. This does not mean inferiority. The Koran orders believers to 'lower their gaze,' which can mean not to look at members of the opposite sex in a lustful manner. This is also true of other cultures. In Japan, for example, direct eye contact is considered rude; but in America, avoiding eye contact can suggest shyness or not telling the truth.

5. Good question. In semi-Westernized Islamic countries like Egypt a woman can definitely report her husband for abusing her physically, sexually, or verbally. In religious Islamic countries this freedom is much more limited since the Koran and hadeeth allow some forms of what Westerners would call negligence and physical and sexual abuse. However, a woman is always allowed to report her husband for not giving his family a good economic standard of living. Muhammad said one of the wife's rights over her husband is his duty to furnish her with good food, clothing, shelter, etc.

6. All Islamic countries allow women's suffrage apart from Saudi Arabia. Pakistan and Bangladesh were among the first countries to have women Prime Ministers. However, I believe this is despite Islam, not because of it, because the hadeeth suggest that women are morally,mentally, and emotionally weaker than men a and strongly oppose putting women in any position of leadership. Source: http://www.islam-qa.com/index.php?ref=5228&ln=eng&txt=women%20vote

7. I can't say, but in most Islamic countries, the government does not protect women's right to education. Again, whether or not a girl is schooled is up to her parents.
