Why Did a Muslim Woman Win the Nobel Peace Prize?

Question

for her work for women's rights, if Islam is a proponent of womens rights?

There wouldn't have to be a women's rights movement if Islam is so...just, now would it.

Oh and YES, I'm glad she won and a well deserved win it was.

Answer 1

So why did the US then need a Women's rights movement if the Christian majority is so ...................................just?


Makes as much sense as your question.

Some of us in the US, remember when Iran wasn't a Theocracy. If we remember what life in Iran used to be like, don't you think they do?

For the record most of the oppression people talk about in Islamic countries really isn't based around the religion, it is however firmly rooted in the patriarchal system that has meshed itself with Islam in many cases. Just like a lot of what people think is Christianity isn't from the teaching of Jesus, just the same drek that people complain about from Islam.

Answer 2

If it was a Christen woman, It would be alright? In the 1800's Women went into the streets to get the right to vote. It is important that everyone works for the rights of the oppressed.
If Dr. King had not helped people open there eyes, where would we be today. If the Muslim Women need help and someone is helping they should be praised and encouraged. This lady has made a big difference in peoples lives and I am glad she won.

Answer 3

there are so many misconceptions about Islam. There is a difference between Islam and Culture.

Truly Muslim women have more rights than Christian women. It is culture that takes these rights away or gives extra rights.

1. The Bible Convicts Women as the original
Sinners, (ie. Eve picking from the forbidden
tree){Genesis 2:4-3:24}. The Koran Clarifies it
was Adam Not Eve {Qur'an 7:19-25}

2. The Bible says "The Birth of a Daughter is a
loss" {Ecclesiasticus 22:3}. The Qur'an says both
are an Equal Blessing { Qur'an 42:49}

3. The Bible Forbids Women from Speaking in
church {I Corinthians 14:34-35}. The Qur'an says
Women Can argue with the Prophet {58:1}

4. In the Bible, divorced Women are Labeled as
an Adulteress, while men are not {Matthew 5:31-32}. The
Koran does Not have Biblical double standards
{ Qur'an 30:21}

5. In The Bible, Widows and Sisters do Not
Inherit Any Property or Wealth, Only men
do{Numbers 27:1-11}The Koran Abolished this
male greediness { Qur'an 4:22} and God Protects
All.


6. The Bible Allows Multiple Wives{I Kings 11:3}
In The Koran, God limits the number to 4 only
under certain situations (with the Wife's
permission)and Prefers you Marry Only One
Wife{ Qur'an 4:3} The Koran gives the Woman
the Right to Choose who to Marry.


7. "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not
pledged to be married and rapes her and they are
discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty
shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he
has violated her. He can never divorce her as long
as he lives" {Deuteronomy 22:28-30}


One must ask a simple question here, who is
really punished, the man who raped the woman or
the woman who was raped? According to the
Bible, you have to spend the Rest of Your Life
with the man who Raped You.


The Prophet Muhammad Says {Volume 9, Book
86, Number 101} Narrated by Aisha:" It is
essential to have the consent of a virgin (for the
marriage)".


Would the Christian men Reading this prefer the
Women they know to Be Christian or Muslim?


8. The Bible also asks Women to wear veils as in
Islam {I Corinthians 11:3-10}, this lowers the
chance of rape, (God Forbid), see statistic link
below.


9. Women were given rights to Vote less than a
100 years ago in the (US), while the Quran (42:38) gave
Women Voting rights almost 1,500 years ago.

10. Islam has unconfined Women and has given them
the human right to reach for the sky. There have been
Muslim Women Presidents through out the centuries,
but to this date, the oppressive mentality of the
men in the Western U.S.A. has stopped any Women from becoming
Presidents in predominately Christian countries,
while the Muslim countries have voted for and
elected Female Presidents.


Here is a list of previous Female Muslim leaders:


Khadija bint Khuwaylid
Aishah bint Abu Bakr
Fatimah bint Muhammad
Barakah
Ramlah bint Abu Sufyan
Rumaysa bint Milhan
Umm Salamah
Asma bint Abu Bakr
Zaynab al-Ghazali
Maryum Jameelah

Answer 4

There was a womens rights movements in this country in the last century. If Christianity is a proponents of womens rights, why would the US have needed a movement ?

Answer 5

Cultural factors are working against women's rights. In theory, Islam is for women's rights. You can read it yourself in the Quran. However, due to society, men are abusing women and not behaving like true Muslims. Once we educate these men to be correct Muslims and actually follow the Quran can this problem be eradicated. Yet, we must remember that not every man will conform if it is his nature. There is a difference if a man believes that he must hit a woman versus a man enjoying hitting a woman. We will have more success with the man believing that he must hit a woman.

Answer 6

Okay, that logic is ridiculous. There were women's rights and civil rights movements in the United States, a predominantly Christian nation, right? Does that lead to the conclusion that Christianity is unjust? No. I'm agnostic/atheist, but I can see the error of this logic.

Answer 7

Its a women's right movement in Iran. Against the Iranian government.

Answer 8

do u know the difference bet. stupid traditions and Islamic belief-----is 2 different things---- and i guess that some are following their traditions more than Islam.

women got their right in USA and Europe in the last 100 years only------Islam gave this rights to women 1500 years ago--like divorce--the right to inherit----the right to buy and sell----and her independent financial status
