Bukari: “”the prophet said, "isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" the women said, "yes." he said, "this is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind."” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/048.sbt.html#003.048.826
If a womans witness is equal to half that of a man, then Allah is essentially saying that no woman can be trusted, because no matter who the woman is, if she is the only witness to a robbery, then there is no witness cause half a wtiness is no witness at all.
Why did Allah make woman this way...I mean, why not make them trustworthy and equal to a man in their witness and everything else.
You know what, this Islam...wow...I mean, it just doesnt work for me...I hope I havent offended any hatefilled intolerant think skinned insecure hair trigger followers of the "religion of peace".
If you feel upset and want to avenge insecure Allah...take a deep breath and go bend over a couple of time for allah instead.

That is a hadith; so as "God's true source of law" it doesn't have an authentic standing. The Koran (God's word and our Holy Book) does say that in financial transactions ONLY 2 women need to be there to help each other out to be a witness. There are many explanations 1. back in that time the male witnesses often fell in love with the female and influenced their decision 2. because of women's emotional changes during the month it may affect her mentality 3. women were not as experienced in that field and 4. if the woman is capable of judging fairly then one woman is sufficient (because God says establish the witnesses "as you appoint") There are also cases where the woman's word overrides the man's like when she is accused of adultery by her husband and she swears 5 times to her chastity then her word is taken (and also when it comes to who suckled a baby, the woman's word counts). In all other instances the man's and women's word are completely equal. So try as you will to twist the truth but God is all just all wise.

You have to think of the cultural context when the Koran was written. At that time, it would have been way to revolutionary to proclaim that women were completely equal to men. We are just now getting to that point. You cant expect people from 1500 years ago to think the same way you do. At least they gave women the right to represent themselves at all.

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
And when thou seest those who engage in vain discourse concerning Our Signs, then turn thou away from them until they engage in a discourse other than that. And if Satan should cause thee to forget, then sit not, after recollection, with the unjust people.

Allah didn't! Like the bible, the book was written by bigotted ignorant men who thought it was their duty to tell women they were never going to be as good as men, when actually, women were better. Anyone who still believes that garbage is as ignorant as the writers, and as bigoted, and violent.

Well, I thank God that I am a Christian, Jesus Christ treats women with the same respect as man. I will only kneel before my Lord Jesus, I am not upset and would not bend to your god. I suggest you ask Jesus Christ to forgive you for the lousy way you treat woman. You will give an account for this on judgement day. When every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

It is that society that treats women as livestock and slaves and not as equals as they have the right to be.

I'd answer your question, but apparently my opinion doesn't really count.
