Answer 1

Being Jewish AND Orthodox, I can tell you that Judaism encourages women to become scholars. Learning is an integral part of Judaism, for both women and men.
You have been misinformed, my Muslim friend...

Answer 2

Even the most Orthodox Christianity allows women scholars (nuns for example). Some Churches simply do not allow women to teach men during formal services but there has always been Christian women scholars.

Answer 3

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah It is highly beneficial for women to become scholars of Islam. Remember, much of what we know of the Sunnah of the Propeht, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, was narrated by his wife Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her. She was respected enough to be consulted by the men and women of the Sahaabah on even the most sensitive issues. A woman can be a teacher of men and women if there are no men able to teach a particular topic or if she is better qualified, as long as Islamic manners are observed. She can be an Imaam for prayer for other women but women do not lead men in prayer. And Allah knows best. Fi Aman Allah, Nancy Umm Abdel Hamid

Answer 4

Aisha? Muhammad put her and the rest of his wives under house arrest just before he died.....well to you it was Allah who said it since that order is in the qur'an rather than hadith.

Aisha was also the rebellious wife who kept going against what Allah supposedly ordered the wives to do and she was one of the people who rebelled against Ali and wanted to kill him until Ali and his forces arrested her and because she was the prophets wife he sent her home rather than execute her for treason.

Read a book, she was the most unislamic of the wives.

Judaism has always had women scholars, I don't know what you are talking about, you obviously know nothing about Judaism. As for Orthodox Christians, why did you target them out of the entire Christian world? They had women scholars long before Islam existed.

Answer 5

It's not that they are "advanced" in this reguard. Yes, some Christian & Jewish Churches allow women to preach. But not all. Basically all Churches allow women to teach, and this was the way in the Bible. The reason, however, that many don't, is because it is discouraged in the Bible for women to preach. This was a task for the men, because the men are suppose to be the leaders. (Not only in this case, but they are suppose to be in the household, in the workforce, etc.) Obviously things have changed since then, but this is the way they were in the Bible. Therefore, many churches nowdays don't believe in women preachers. (BTW, whoever mentioned Joyce Meyers. She lives pretty close to me!! Just thought I would mention..lol)

Answer 6

That's absolutely right..but I really have no idea why it's not the case in Christianity and judaism, but I guess it's because they used to consider women as half a human being..

Answer 7

1500 years ago women were gien the right to vote, to work own there own buisness to be educated even 100 years ago the british society didnt have these kind of laws. and people will still say we are oppressed

Answer 8

Have you never heard of Joyce Meyers? My Pastor wife is leading a whole group of women right now.

Answer 9

Blah, blah, blah. More ill-informed rants. Nice try, but it still doesn't work.

Answer 10
