Why women are so oppressed among the Islam?

Answer 1

Because an average woman is smarter then Mohamed(pbuh)*
*(Pigs Blood Upon Him)

Answer 2

They are not. They are among the most respected compared to men. Just because they have to cover up their hair doesnt mean they are oppressed. They are just protected so no one can have an evil eye on them. Besides they do it from their own free will and are not forced. They dont like to be easy women... if you know what i mean... why do you thing 50-60% of marriages in America end in divorce...and i am not blaming only the women, but they definately have a role in that.
When you talk about oppression, what are you trying to target? the women in Afghanistan? Because thats all the news show.. I have an answer for that too. In Islam, a women is given the highest respect, and if a guy refuses to do that, than he is commiting a sin. Its that simple.

Oh and by the way, muslims dont bomb themselves... its the other religions that do it who are only acting like muslims...... how does that feel??? Well, whatever you feel, its what the true muslims are also feeling. Think about it.

Answer 3

This is a longggg topic and if u wanna find an answer u cant find it from here.
The truth is that Islam always makes something better... as in the 6th century, women were used as slaves. Islam came along and gave them a right to vote, right to own their children, right to chooose their husband, right to divorce their husband, right to not clean a house, right to not look after the child... but just bcoz they wear a veil it seems like they are opressed...

in fact islam gave women its rights before the modern world did. The veil however is a barrier to all those men out there who think of women as a sex wagon... Leaving only the intelligence of the lady in any conversation with a male.

Answer 4

Women are not oppressed in Islam. The Quran does not support that. The Quran speaks of equality.

Answer 5

According to the Quran, women have a role to play in society. They take care of the children and the family. That is the law of Allah. In modern societies today, people see this "role" as inferior, which is why it is interpreted as women being oppressed.

Answer 6

This doesn't apply to all Muslims.

Those who do oppress women are living according to 14th Century standards.

Answer 7

your question should be" are the women so oppressed in islam?" because your statemant could be false?
in the quran the book of muslims there is along part "sora" called "alnesa'a" which means "women" and most of its verses talk about the rights of women on men.but on the other hand there is no "sora" called men!!!

"Anyone wishing to understand Islam must first separate the religion from the cultural norms and style of a society. Female genital mutilation is still practised in certain pockets of Africa and Egypt, but viewed as an inconceivable horror by the vast majority of Muslims. Forced marriages may still take place in certain Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, but would be anathema to Muslim women from other backgrounds.
Indeed, Islam insists on the free consent of both bride and groom, so such marriages could even be deemed illegal under religious law.

A woman forbidden from driving a car in Riyadh will cheerfully take the wheel when abroad, confident that her country's bizarre law has nothing to do with Islam. Afghan women educated before the Taliban rule know that banning girls from school is forbidden in Islam, which encourages all Muslims to seek knowledge from cradle to grave, from every source possible.

The Koran is addressed to all Muslims, and for the most part it does not differentiate between male and female. Man and woman, it says, "were created of a single soul," and are moral equals in the sight of God. Women have the right to divorce, to inherit property, to conduct business and to have access to knowledge.

Since women are under all the same obligations and rules of conduct as the men, differences emerge most strongly when it comes to pregnancy, child-bearing and rearing, menstruation and clothing.

Some of the commands are alien to Western tradition. Requirements of ritual purity may seem to restrict a woman's access to religious life, but are viewed as concessions. During menstruation or postpartum bleeding, she may not pray the ritual salah or touch the Koran and she does not have to fast; nor does she need to fast while pregnant or nursing.

Sexual intimacy outside marriage is forbidden in Islam, including sex before marriage, adultery or homosexual relationships. However, within marriage, sexual intimacy should be raised from the animal level to sadaqah (a form of worship) so that each considers the happiness and satisfaction of the other, rather than mere self-gratification.

Islam does not regard marriages as "till death do us part".because that contracts, with conditions. If either side breaks the conditions, divorce is not only allowed, but usually expected. Nevertheless, a hadith makes it clear that: "Of all the things God has allowed, divorce is the most disliked."

A Muslim has a genuine reason for divorce only if a spouse's behaviour goes against the sunnah of Islam - in other words, if he or she has become cruel, vindictive, abusive, unfaithful, neglectful, selfish, sexually abusive, tyrannical, perverted - and so on.

In good Islamic practice, before divorce can be contemplated, all possible efforts should be made to solve a couple's problems. After an intention to divorce is announced, there is a three-month period during which more attempts are made at reconciliation.

If, by the end of each month, the couple have resumed sexual intimacy, the divorce should not proceed. The three-month rule ensures that a woman cannot remarry until three menstrual cycles have passed - so, if she happens to be pregnant, the child will be supported and paternity will not be in dispute.

When Muslims die, strict laws govern the shares of property and money they may leave to others; daughters usually inherit less than sons, but this is because the men in a family are supposed to provide for the entire household.

Any money or property owned by women is theirs to keep, and they are not obliged to share it. Similarly, in marriage, a woman's salary is hers and cannot be appropriated by her husband unless she consents.

A good Muslim woman, for her part, should always be trustworthy and kind. She should strive to be cheerful and encouraging towards her husband and family, and keep their home free from anything harmful (haram covers all aspects of harm, including bad behaviour, abuse and forbidden foods).

Regardless of her skills or intelligence, she is expected to accept her man as the head of her household - she must, therefore, take care to marry a man she can respect, and whose wishes she can carry out with a clear conscience. However, when a man expects his wife to do anything contrary to the will of God - in other words, any nasty, selfish, dishonest or cruel action - she has the right to refuse him.

Her husband is not her master; a Muslim woman has only one Master, and that is God. If her husband does not represent God's will in the home, the marriage contract is broken. "

Answer 8

I used to think it was sad that women in islamic countries were treated as they are. However, when I look at Hillary Clinton, I think they mullahs have it right.

Answer 9

If the women are not oppressed and treated like scum, would the muslim men want islam???

Think again.

If there's no sex with 72 virgins, do you think the muslims would want to behead you and your family and bomb himself to smithereens?

Answer 10

Same reason they are oppressed among certain Jewish and Christian sects - men fear them and men are in charge.
