I mean u talk bad about women in Islam and the way they are treated .knowing that u got it all wrong, cause im Muslim girl and never been happier with my life…and yeah….i wear hijab and don’t wear "fake hair" like many stupid people said….i actually have the nicest hair thank you
Anyway….did u forget while talking about women in Islam that the U.S has the higher numbers of :
Crimes, especially pregnant women from a street sex
In rape
In abusing people "sex abuse"
In DEVORCE
In hitting women….i mean lots of American men I saw on TV are in jail for killing their women or hitting them
Has the higher number in prostitutes asking for money ……

Answer 2

I agree with the First Dragon. You're seeing it on American Media because the society allows freedom of press. In many muslim countries it's considered the woman's fault if she's raped. It's kept secret, and if it gets out the woman can be killed to preserve the honour of the family. It's not so much a religious thing, as a cultural thing. Yes you see more of it on American media, but that doesn't mean it happens more. Same as how people argue that America has declined and is more violent since the religious wack jobs stopped forcing their lies on children in schools. Yes, there was less violence broadcast in the news then (I'm thinking of the 1950's here)..but it was also considered socially acceptable to beat ones wife, children, and ethnic minorities. "I mean the media in U.S is like lying to a kid…maybe you are shown the wrong side of everything…is that the reason…if not then what's this big reason?" Or maybe, your media just isn't showing you enough of what is REALLY happening around you.

Answer 3

I admit that I do not know a whole lot about Women in Islam, but it sounds as though you offer up some good arguments.

I recently read "Lipstick Jihad" and I loved it. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in the Islamic worls and the American culture and how they cross over for some people.

Answer 4

US media is not always correct. However its not controlled by the government so has no reason to lie. Rape is crime in America and dna is used to convict the criminals. In many muslims countries you need 4 witness. DNA is not allowed. Human rights are far behind in the Muslim world. You are lying to your self if you think America is worse then some Muslim country in the middle east.

"i mean lots of American men I saw on TV are in jail for killing their women or hitting them" Yes we send them to jail what is your point as in LET Them be free?? I think the numbers of men are far less then YOU think.

Have you lived in America? look at the human rights web site and compare where ever your from to us. America is not perfect but i doubt your country is ahead of us.

Answer 5

Sadly most people are ignorant and CHOOSE to remain ignorant instead of hunting down the answers and opinions of the people within the subject. These are the same people who ALLOW themselves to be led by the media "nosering" like cows.

The media is only part of the problem, it's individuals failing in their responsibility to get off their lazy heinies and do the research. It's more fun to immerse one's self in other ridiculous mindless pursuits. (sigh)

Sorry that you have to endure this kind of junk. Let's just keep working on getting the word out there as best as we can. I correct people when I can, which stuns them into silence because it's coming from a Buddhist, but it's well worth it.

Answer 6

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


DEE- Do you live in a Muslim country???? I DO! And I am an American. What you are referring to is NOT Islam, it is the culture of a few Muslim countries. And, yes the western world is a moral disaster. I lived there my entire life, until less than 2 months ago. All that Candyness is saying is the truth. I'm sorry you don't like to hear it.

Answer 7

You're courage is to be commended. It is that most people in the west view such decisions as a mark of difference. By asserting your beliefs, you're aliening yourself with rules that conservative Islam places upon you. This is seen as embracing conservative views that are not typically found in the west. Right, or wrong, western society gives woman the right to sit where they want, travel how they wish, and be individuals independent of male relatives. (actions that are typically forbidden by numerous Fatah's) What is important to remember is that violence against woman is violence against woman west or east.

Answer 8

The saying "Dont throw stones if you live in a glass house" applies to your question,if it is a question.Girls in muslim countrys are raped just like everywhere in the world.In America if a girl is raped,she doesnt need three witnesses like some muslim countries,they use Dna,and most rapists are caught and go to prison.Ive been in muslim countries and they do have prostitution.You need to get your facts straight before you throw stones.

Answer 9

Good for you, sister in Islam

Answer 10

Well, evidently you don't know much about some of the cultures that follow Islam.

Have you ever heard of honor killings, and stoning women who've been raped, this only happens in Islamic predominant countries.

Also, some where in your holy book sanctions the act of a husband scourging his wife if she doesn't behave which, boils to lightly "hitting" her.

So, don't throw stones while living in glass houses.

I'm an Christian American woman, I love and cherish my freedom to choose.
If Islam was so wonderful Muslims wouldn't be breaking their necks to come and live in our country of freedom.

If you and anyone else doesn't like it here, you're more than welcome to LEAVE!
