First of all, we believe that it is from GOD, so HE being the CREATOR, will command us only things that are good for us.

People raise a hue and cry about POlygamy. In the west you can have multiple sexual partners until you settle down, which is termed OKAY to them, but when in Islam Polygamy is an option not a MUST, they deny.

In any given population, women are greater than men. More men are killed in wars. Biologically the life span of females is higher than males. So what will become of the remianing females who dont find a husband?? Either become a second wife to a married male and get social RIGHTS

OR

Become a public property which is happening in the western society.

Which is better now?

There is NO Quranic Ayah (Verse) that says to ensalve Women, The Prophet (PBUH) himself freed women, children and old whenever they were captured.

Enslaving men and women after war was a practice of the Pagan Makkan people, the Holy prophet abolished it but gradually.

A woman is protected in a Burqa (hijab), she is not degraded by this.

The US has the highest rate of rape. WHy? What about the Islamic countries??? They ahve the lowest rates???

How come this is possible?? Use logic and you arrive at Islam

God's commandments about the status of women and the relations between men and women, which have been revealed to us through the Qur'an, consist of full justice. In this regard, Islam suggests equality of rights, responsibilities and duties between the two genders. Islam is based on sympathy, tolerance and respect for human beings, and does not discriminate against women in this matter.
Islam brought with it a great emancipation for women, who were severely persecuted in the pagan era. Prof. Bernard Lewis, known as one of the greatest Western experts on the history of Islam and the Middle East, makes the following comment:

In general, the advent of Islam brought an enormous improvement in the position of women in ancient Arabia, endowing them with property and some other rights, and giving them a measure of protection against ill treatment by their husbands or owners. The killing of female infants, sanctioned by custom in Pagan Arabia, was outlawed by Islam. But the position of women remained poor, and worsened when, in this as in so many other respects, the original message of Islam lost its impetus and was modified under the influence of pre-existing attitudes and customs.

Ok here goes. Acording to the general Muslim mentality Muslims believe they are giving respect to the women because although she is forced to marry old men, forced to have sex with a man she does not want to, forced to be one of many wives, forced to obey a man she is given respect because the man who forces her is her Husband.
As a wife she is given respect a girlfriend is not. Mmmm I suppose this could be called respect assuming women had the mental IQ's of a five year old and were unable to make decisions for themselves.
Personally I think it would humiliating to be married to a women who was forced to marry me, did not like me, hated having sex with me and dreamed of being in love with someone else her own age.

Probably for the same reasons they conduct female circumcision! Only a partriarchal society that has absolutely NO respect for women would mutilate a woman's genitals and think it was OK. I mean even to their own daughters - a lot die and get infections that mean they can never have children! What is it with this religion that men find that alright?! Makes me sick.

Islam gives a very special place to women.

It is the different cultures that berate women---it is the culture, not the religion. People who treat women this way are not following Islam, but their own interpretation of it.

we cant kid ourselves any longer!-it is well known that women are 2ND class citizens in the Muslim world and that is not to be disputed.I can only say DISGRACE to those who do so.we give life to those Vermont's who think they are superior.

All this shows is that Muslim men are indeed inferior and would you be in my presence ,I would just show you how much.they must be very afraid of the women.so they treat them like SH*T.

when I saw the women being beaten by their husbands with steel pipes in Afghanistan I have hoped since then that once captured by US troops it would have been sweet if it would have been a women soldier to knock them on their knees.
so for all those liars and fakes out there -we have mass media that shows us what your up to,so no need of denying it any longer.
would you be doing this in my corner of the world I would make you my bi*tch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allah said in Qur’an:

"Men [as husbands] are responsible for their women because God has made the one superior to the other [in different spheres] and because they spend of their wealth. Therefore, righteous women are obedient [to their husbands] and guard their secrets as God has also guarded secrets. As for those from whom you fear refusal of obedience, admonish them and [if this does not effect their behavior then] leave them alone on their beds and [if even this does not effect their behavior then] beat them." Qur'an (4: 34)

In fact, Allah Almighty has allowed beating wives as the last resort for husbands, a man should warn his wife first, and if she is still stubborn, then he may stop sleeping with her, and then if she is still disobeying him then he might beat her (slightly).

Wife beating anytime and for any reason is prohibited in Islam.

Allah says in the Holy Qur'an:

“ Do not retain them (i.e., your wives) to harm them...” Qur'an (2:231)"

In this verse Allah forbids husbands from keeping their wives with the intention of harming them.

........................

And covering is the modesty and the dignity of a woman.It has such benefits as a guard against any assault, equality with men, air of respect and honor and it requires women to avoid any sort of attraction to men.

......................................

Enslaving is strongly prohibited in Islam too!! Islam is unique among the `religions' in its close attention to the peaceful removal of this practice. Before the advent of Islam, slavery was widespread all over the world. The Messenger of Islam taught us that freeing slaves was a great deed in the sight of Allah. From the Sunnah, specifically in the study of the Sunnah called Sahih Bukhari, we find:


[3:46:693] Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Whoever frees a Muslim slave, Allah will save all the parts of his body from the (Hell) Fire as he has freed the body-parts of the slave." Said bin Marjana said that he narrated that Hadith to `Ali bin Al-Husain and he freed his slave for whom `Abdullah bin Ja'far had offered him ten thousand Dirhams or one-thousand Dinars.
