Pakistan and Bangla Desh never had women Presidents.They had and have(respectively)Only Women prime ministers.Most of the time in 50 years of independence both the countries were under the Military rule only.Benazir Bhutto(Pakistan P.M.) and two women Prime Ministers(Bangala Desh) When they were under democratic rule Prime minister is more powerful(as in INDIA) than the Presidents.In Parliamentary democracy,president is only a titular head and he/she SHALL HAVE to act only on the advice of the Council of Ministers headed by the P.M.(that is the Constitution) INDIA was NEVER and SHALL be never under Military Rule because of the seasoned CULTURE of that Country.Now India has its First Woman President smt.Pradheepa Patil

I don't agree. That passage in Timothy is refering to in the church. Some of the best leaders in the world have been women. Golda Mayer in Israel, Margaret Thatcher in Britian and even if you don't agree with their politics you have to admit that they were great leaders and the countries did well under their leadership.

It is not only against new testimont it is also against Quran.
That doesn't mean that Quran doesn't allow women 2 participate in any leadership or som other thing etc.She can but she hav 2 completely cover herself in Hijab.But today most of the women r not doing that.
Anyways wat can we do?Every 1 has freedom of choice who is right/rong it will be clear 2 all on day of judgment(InshaALLAH)
