Womens role in Islam

Before Islam , women were not only abused and considered an insult but were also burried alive. When Europe and the rest of the world was stuck in the dark ages, Islam introduced the first ever womens rights and respect for human liberty 1500 years ago. Listen to what Ayeesha Aladwiya from womeninislam.org has to say on the global misconceptions about Islam. We fear what we do not know, so get to know the truth. by Imran Siddiqui Voice of America.

Sadly enough, the history does not support your argument. Exhibit (A) The first wife of Mohammed: Khadija al-Kubra. Here's a quote from Wikipedia:

"Khadijah (who was a businesswoman)" Prior to Mohammed, women of Mecca, Arabia was allowed to be "successful" in their business endeavors. It is a contrast form the modern day Arabia, which is the birthplace of Islam, the women folks aren't even allowed obtain a driver's license, or go out in public places without a male companion.

It seems like you had already thought of what you will say prior to watching the video. I only wish if you could have looked at it in a different way. This is not a story about promoting what Saudi Arabia does or how life is in America where both countries have their own atrocities. This is a story about women's plight and their resurrection. Her will to stand up for what she believes in.

I think you could not understand the Urdu script.

What do woman know? Simply,Nothing.

Their purpose in this world is to maintain the house hold, satisfy mans needs in the bedroom and to cater them in the kitchen.

If woman were given leadership in this world she would be known as the first woman to be a dictator and named as 'Mrs Hitler' leading her fellow woman to exterminate mankind. This would be a disaster.

Whatever the religion, age, sex or colour she may be.

"Only europe was in the dark ages, the rest of the world was never in a dark age." Well, except for world of Islam, which has been in the dark age from the beginning and has yet to reach any level of enlightenment.

What Islam needs is a true Reformation, a questioning of the roots of Islam -- otherwise the philosophy will end up on the trash heap of history as a failed religion.

Is it haram to marry my favorite sheep? How many sheep am I allowed to marry at a time? Do they have to wear a hijab? If I get a divorce later and decide to eat said sheep, will the fact that she/he was once a muslim make it halal?
