one more thing ................. my way of fitting in a ''modern'' country is wearing hejab ............. so i won't get raped for God's sake!!!!

Answer 2

Good question!

I am also really pleased that you have found a community that seems to treat women so well.

I suspect as with many things, bad news makes more headlines than good news. However I also suggest that is might depend very much on how devoutly such things as Sharia law is practiced - and if you ever end up on the wrong side through no fault of your own.

Whilst I truly hope it never happens to you or anyone you care for, your view of Islam (and specifically Sharia) may change if a woman you knew was raped - only to find that under strict interpretation of Sharia that she too should be executed - or at the VERY least flogged 100 (I think) times.

To many folks, this is not just. Furthermore, it is my understanding that in Sharia law, the word of a woman in a Sharia court only counts for FRACTION of the value of a mans word. In other words, if you AND a female companion stand witness against a man - he will win because his word is worth more than you AND the other woman put together.

Again, many people find this unjust.

As I said earlier, I am truly thrilled that you find all the best - which is perhaps as the teachings would have been intended - but you only have to look at how women fair in Sharia courts to understand that women are NOT treated equally.

Perhaps everything is wonderful until you annoy a man?

I know that Yahoo Answers discourages things from becoming discussions but that is a shame here, I would truly like to hear your views and thoughts on my points - and either explain where I am incorrect in my understanding - or, if correct - in what way you still feel that women are treated well.

Answer 3

Well because of the clothes that u hav to wear wel i think that if u r islamic women and married u hav to wear that clothing and mask over your face and that might seem to other people like a bad thing because its unconfortable also there is the thing of a man having more than one wife ( i dont know if this still happens) and this seems a bit unfair that men can hav many wives and women hav to share their husbands and only hav one.
I am not so sure if the clothing is compulsory to islamic women or if the multiple wives marrige still happens but i think this is why most people think that islam treats women a bit badly......
but personally i dont think it is bad how islam treats women
But most of the time the impression is given that men rule in this religion and that women hav less rights

Answer 4

I'm a Muslim girl and I agree with whatever you say, but i also think that there is so much negative advertisement against Islam. I know that my religion is the religion of peace and I know that everything my religion has suggested to women is for their benefit. Although i'm not a very good and religious muslim I'v seen the blessings islam can bring to every person, I wish others would believe us and I wish there weren't so many people who due to lack of knowlege or bad intentions describe us as a savage tribe which acts against human rights.i wish people didn't take people like Taliban as Muslims because they truely aren't.and I pray to God to give us the ability to accept each other's religion and believes and love humanity as awhole.

Answer 5

When my wife was tired of working, she stopped, and took some time to recover from all the wearying things of the world - the loss of her sister, her mother, and just being tired physically.

I encouraged her to do this, and happily brought home the paychecks while she let her life slow down a little. I did this - not because I am a Muslim, not because I am a Christian - I did this because I am a human being - capable of altruism, and empathy.

There's no need for religious chauvinism. If I as a Christian can recognize that Muslim men can be good to their wives, surely unworthy claims about no "good way in treating a woman" are similarly baseless. We are good to each other because we are people. Not because of our denominational affiliations.

Answer 6

Can you please write me an email to answer me? Last year I have been studying in Holland and there's a lot of Muslim living there. To be clear - I (can) believe what you say. But I have seen in Holland how Muslim ladies have carried heavy bags from shops, catching their kids, while their men were just walking buy. I have seen it almost everyday, that is why I remember this so good. To me this is not a good way of treating of your partner. And yet, I have read several books, written by Muslim ladies, about how they have been beaten at home by their father, brother, cousins, uncles, even sons. Would you deny this things happen? I do not generalize, but it happens (I guess). And yet - can you say that there is a big difference between religion and culture? Namely, religion says so and those Muslim men who really follow Qura'an, these respect their partners and treat them lovingly. But! There are differences in cultures and not in every Muslim culture men treat women with respect, but some rape, them beat them, burn them, etc. I am confused very much. Are you saying that the majority of Muslims is white (80-85 %), the rest is black and these ones create negative image about Islam and Muslims in general? Thanks.

Answer 7

I think that is great that you come from such a respectable backround. I did not know that Islam women were treated so good, and I studied world religions. I think that the stereotype is there becuase of what is taught about the culture. The man is basically in charge and the women does what he says. They need to be teaching people about the good not just about the rules. Good luck to you.

Answer 8

People prejudge that which they do not know. Ignorance, and being untrue to one's self, are the highest crimes in my opinion. They are self-destructive, and dangerous to society. It really is a shame that all people cannot be treated equally and with dignity and respect. I know I am not really contributing much in a way of an answer, but I do empathise.

Answer 9

once you masturbate, you're abusing your very own physique and disgracing your self, you're liberating significant minerals that are needed on your physique and ideas and that still provide you capability, and it may harm your genitals and organs and negatively influence physique functioning. The pleasant feeling which you get from masturbation is accompanied via instantaneous thoughts of guilt, and this reaction in that's self tells you which you're able to no longer do it. via no longer masturbating you're being self disciplined, and via being self disciplined you will sense greater desirable approximately your self and sense honourable and organic. in basic terms think of you have by no potential ever masturbated earlier, and additionally you wait till you and your spouse at last come to having intercourse. it is going to likely be properly rather worth the wait and additionally you will understand deep down that what you're doing is organic and additionally you will no longer would desire to sense in charge approximately it.

Answer 10

Check out the Sally Field movie "Not Without My Daughter" It's about an American woman that married an Islamic man (I don't remember what country) then was not allowed to leave after he became abusive. I also read a book...I can't remember the name...Tehran was in the title...but it's about an educated woman that used to be a college professor, but a new regime came into power and she was not allowed to work anymore. Girls were not allowed to learn to read, so she had secret readings in her apartment. That's pretty much the perception that we get. I'm sure the TV over there doesn't always depict the U.S. in the best light, either.

Answer 11

I guess those countries didn't teach you proper grammar and punctuation. From my experience though the only muslim country that brutalized women and treated them horribly as a whole was Afghanistan under the Taliban. There are videos of what happens to women there so it is indisputable.

Here in the US I can assure you there are muslim men who mistreat women. I'm not saying it's the majority, but you are ridiculous if you think all muslim men treat women well.
