In all religious centers, often fanaticism overrides commonsense and wherever religion has a stronger grip, women are discriminated. Mecca was no exception. It was natural that women in Mecca had a lower status than their Jews and Ansari counterparts and when they encountered the liberty that the women of Medina enjoyed, they wanted it too. This of course did not sit well with Umar and Muhammad, the two misogynist men of Mecca. The above conversation between these two central figures of Islam clearly shows that they were not pleased to see their wives getting used and enjoying the taste of freedom.� �<BR/><BR/>Arabs were not used to write their history. Very little is left of their pre Islamic culture and way of life. What the Muslim historian wrote of that time is all derogatory calling it the days of ignorance "jahiliya" and claiming that until the advent of Islam they were barbarians, who buried their daughters alive and were constantly in war. They say that women prior to Islam were worth less than camels and it was the Prophet who gave them the status of human being. The above hadith however tell us a different story. We can see that Arab women everywhere, except in Mecca, had more rights that Islam took them away. And it shows that the dismal treatment of women in Islam is not a Divine mandate but is how the Qurash used to treat their women. The Prophet being from Quraish himself was used to that kind of women abuse and to him that was the right way. Naturally he projected his is bias against women in his religion and his book.�<BR/><BR/>But there is also another factor that played a great role in the destiny of Muslim women; and that is the impact that the wives of the Prophet had on the Quran and its laws about women.<BR/><BR/>you can read the fact.<BR/>http://www.faithfreedom.org/<BR/><BR/>*and i hope it is not spoiling =)bunchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850656598848768007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362778.post-81590506308636931072008-12-06T23:21:00.000-05:002008-12-06T23:21:00.000-05:00oh, i'v finally found the words i'v been looking f...oh, i'v finally found the words i'v been looking for..<BR/>"ambitious, competitive, independant and confident women who retain their principles."<BR/><BR/>sigh.<BR/><BR/>sometimes I am unable to convey my meaning effectively, so most of the time I experience misunderstood intentions. sheesh.<BR/><BR/>I don't make good explanations, mind you.

You have clearly misunderstood everything.<BR/><BR/>"you keep making impression that boys are better will not inculcate changes in girls."<BR/>She's not making the impression that boys are better. In fact, she is saying that men and women are EQUALS, even though their duties are different.<BR/><BR/>"So you say, Islam is prejudice."<BR/>Nobody implied that. Before Islam, women were raped, enslaved and killed. When Rasulullah brought the teachings of Islam, women were respected and treated like equals.<BR/><BR/>"Heck, it is Adam who wanted Eve in heaven in the first place, resulting in the mass reproduction of your gender"<BR/>Are you implying that women are a nuisance? Like bits of gum people accidentally step on? You have NO respect for women at all.<BR/><BR/>Men only value women for sex. Example: in Stephen King's "Wizard and Glass", the lovers' romance was depicted as a series of sexual and physical attraction. In Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight", Edward Cullen and Bella Swan's romance was more than just physical attraction.<BR/>The way these two writers present their story reflects their personalities - the man values sex, mind you.<BR/><BR/>Okay, marriage is about sharing. In other words both man and woman share the burden in life - as equals.<BR/><BR/>What she means is that women should welcome ther true nature and that men should respect women as they are.<BR/><BR/>If your head is still too thick to process what she's trying to say, you'd better go see a neurologist.Fizahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04948804397750800367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362778.post-39678714392951576102008-12-05T20:52:00.000-05:002008-12-05T20:52:00.000-05:00I hope you read my post carefully.I am not for fem...I hope you read my post carefully.<BR/>I am not for feminists, I am just trying to mend the misconception in some men, who apparently do not understand the worth of women other than mere toys, or are subject to 'stereotypes'. I am not denying the fact that men are the leaders and women the followers, as it has been taught in Islam. I have updated that post, please read it once more. However, in terms of intellect, I think it is unfair for teachers or mothers or whoever it is to tell their daughter that they can't do anything about their studies because men will always be better than women. I am not asking for women leadership because it is against the women's duties in Islam, but what I am asking here is respect in terms of opinions. Other than that, I wrote that post in hopes that women will embrace their womanhood and strive to protect their integrity, as most women nowadays seem to surrender to the fact that they are men's toys. It simply disgusts me, and I don't think that men have a right to tell us how we should or should not behave, as what you implied in your reply by labelling me as a 'boyish girl'. You have yet to know whether or not I have fulfilled my duty as an Islamic woman. This fact will be most prominent in women, and also men, when the both of them are bonded in holy matrimony. Thank you for your frank comment.

(implicitly lahh. If you know what i mean)<BR/>Come on, you're tryin to make all these gender problems as objective as possible (i mean label one as this and the other as that), but nothing is that significant in our society.<BR/>Yes girls are prone to succumb to man's leadership, but in the Islamic perspective, women are the assets that'll keep men 'alive' for their task. <BR/>So you say, Islam is prejudice. Heck, it is Adam who wanted Eve in heaven in the first place, resulting in the mass reproduction of your gender (dont get me wrong..feel the intonation)<BR/>Feminists never won because of their ego to tolerate with men in the first place. So yes go back to the basic of everything.<BR/>oh and thanks for the comment, i've just remembered that judy isactually jOdy....i'll answer your q later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
