LADIES, do you know what TODAY is ???http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women's_Day?

Question

Some controversial sharia laws favor Muslim men, including rejection of alimony and polygamy.

A woman's inheiritance is just 1/2 of a man's inheiritance.

In Sharia Court testimony, a man's testimony is equivalent to the testimony of TWO women.

The woman cannot marry without the consent of her guardian. If she marries, her husband becomes her new guardian.

Some view Islamic women as being oppressed by the men in their communities because of the required dress codes.

.Female Genital Mutilation' (FGM)
is a violation of the human rights of girls and women.
Muslims who practice this female ritual tend to use the term Female Circumcision (FC)
There are some who have been adamant about its religious importance amongst Muslims. In 1994, Egyptian Mufti Sheikh Jad Al-Hâqq 'Ali Jad Al-Hâqq issued a fatwa stating: "Circumcision is mandatory for women. If the people of any village decide to abandon it, the [village] imam must fight against them as if they hadd abandoned the call to prayer.[23]

Answer 2

I have heard about men having problems with a phycological term of Modonna' Whore syndrome. Some men maybe ones that have been taxed emotionally by dysfunctional rigid rules of society or parenting when it comes time for them to interact as a sexual being -- the man get's turned off by the women he marries or engages sexually when she is playfull sexually because he has some fear that his mommy-like wife (and here is the problem male and female partners in marriage need to be equal not in the image of a mother , son relationship.) Again he fears his wife will eventually find him boring I think and decides to keep her feeling shamed like she should be more like a modonna than a person with God given anatomy to enjoy the choice of to` feel and give sexual intimacy than just be used for a sexual object in a one way streetcar called , hell on earth!

Answer 3

Please remember that sharia law is the law of men, not the laws of God.
Not all Muslim women are discriminated against, I have many friends who are Muslim and they are not. We need to be sure to clarify this instead of making sweeping generalizations to those who are less informed.
FGM is not practiced by most Muslims, in fact it is not necessarily a Muslim practice, it hearkens back to the culture of the village or region, not the religion.

I love the fact that you are giving people this information, I just hope they realize that it's not a condemnation of the entire Muslim religion.

Answer 5

Well then, if you don't like their way of Life ,I suggest you don't become part of it. Every woman has a chance to get herself out of a bad spot, even this. But because that is the society she lives in , the reliogn she chooses to belive in, then we should feel no pity toward her or to any other woman stuck in these "bad lifestyles".

Yeah, it sucks, but since we are westerners, and have "female freedom" we want to shove it down other cultures throats.

But, what you fail to understand, is that these woman RULE THE HOME. They make the men go out and make them money, bring them home food, bring them cloth and other things to make clothing with and pretty much THE MEN have to protect his woman at all costs. See how twisted our veiws are?

And No, I am not a Muslim woman, I am one who belives in personal responiblity and making your life your own...

Answer 8

r u picking on our culture? the times have changed more so for women.
In those days before Islam, women were treated like slaves or property. Their personal consent concerning anything related to their well-being was considered unimportant, to such a degree that they were never even treated as a party to a marriage contract.

Women were used for one purpose, and then discarded. They had no independence, could own no property and were not allowed to inherit. In times of war, women were treated as part of the prize. Simply put, their condition was unspeakable.

The rights of Muslim women were given to us by Allah (SWT), who is All-Compassionate, All-Merciful, All-Just, All-Unbiased, All-Knowing and Most Wise. These rights, which were granted to women more than 1400 years ago, and were taught by the perfect example of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), were given by the one Who created us and Who alone knows what rights are best for our female natures. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:

"O You who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will, and you should not treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at time of marriage) you have given them, unless they commit open illegal sexual intercourse. And live with them honorably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah brings
through it a great deal of good." (An-Nisa 4:19)

so women now have more rights...and these rights weren't give to us by our husbands or fathers they were given to us by GOD. and it is our fathers and husbands or any human who can not take these rights from us.

6 Feb. 1997 (Daily Telegraph): EIGHT Egyptian women out of 10 consider female circumcision to be a good tradition, according to a study by the official National Population Council.

We have been sacrificing our daughters to the River Nile in a pre-Islamic, animist rite of passage but that is now changing," said Marie Assaad, the Cairo-based coordinator of the "Task Force Against FGM."

Egyptian government health officials say the grass-roots struggle against FGM is crucial to eliminating the practice for good.

"We believe that, for now, the public campaign against FGM is more important than the actual punishment of the perpetrators," said Dr. Tarek M. Morrssy, the Executive Director of a U.N.-funded anti-FGM program.

Egypt's Ministry of Health has with U.N. and U.S. money begun extensive education campaigns, also pushing to get the voices of anti-FGM activists into the mainstream media. In doing so, government health officials say they hope to influence the FGM battle in the trenches of both remote villages and in Egypt's conservative, male-dominated Parliament, which has yet even to consider passing a law banning the practice outright.

i am not one of these eight out of ten WOMEN who are for this. i don't believe in this practice but i do know why it is done. it is done to prevent the woman from making mistakes that could cost the female her Islam, or her family, and her dignity. because in Islam sexual concented intercourse is forbidden in Islam if the female is unwedded.

The reason i disagree with this practice (and i'm happy it is demising) is because it is God who gave free will. now because there is nothing of this in the Qur'aan that i am aware of forbidding it, then this practice is unprotected and that's why the ppl feel they can take this free will. The Qur'aan is the ONLY ONE that has remained unchanged for 1400 years. this book of ours is protected by God. so what's in it cant be tampered with, and what's not in it cant be added.

God gave free will, and what any person decides to do is entirely up to them. as you saw above. it was mostly the women who approved this practice. the children is where my problem comes in. fathers take away this free will from the children, not all fathers but some. and it's not just in Egypt...it's in villages that run down the Nile River into the heart of Africa, affecting 22 nations, including Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya.
it is a sad effect. but only for the little girls who loose their free will. i think we both can agree there. my husband and i are egyptian. neither of us believe of this practice. and we are in the US now and still never would do this to our little girls GOD WILLING he provides us with a family of our own. peace and blessings to you reader. i hope this helps_Allahu a3lam
