Learn more in this clip from "Who Speaks for Islam: What a Billion Muslims Really Think", as our guests, Dalia Mogahed and Reza Aslan, discuss men, women and Sharia.

  • @irishguyhere123 Having spent 14 years of my life in Pakistan, i can understand where you are coming from. In Pak there is not much Islam at all i'm afraid. There is too much clash btw. Islam and culturalism which is considered to be Islam by the locals b/c its been taught for so long by their ancestors. The true teachings of Islam are lost and that is what causes the harsh treatment of women in Pak. But im glad to say that with growing education rates, these harsh acts are somewhat decreasing.

  • So I suppose all these stories of disproportionate punishment for women are all made up..she obviously hasn't spent much time in Pakistan :)

  • sharia is a disaster. take that scarf off your head and stop worshiping a pedophile sociopath.

  • shes a liar, if a man nd a woman both commit a lewd act , a man can be forgive but a woman cant. Liar

  • in islam and islamic societies you really count only if you have a dick between your legs, women are nothing but men's properties and breeding mares. if a race was treated as bad as women is islam and islamic societies it would be seen as a cause for war.

  • @gotama420 thats nothing more than a statement. You can't even provide evidence or reasoning.

  • Does a man get stoned for cheating on there wife. Well??? Thats what I thought!!!

  • Sahih (i.e. "sound", "reliable") Bukhari 1.6.301 "… I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)"

  • The word of Allah, Quran 4:34 "beat them" (women)

  • Typical muslim response to the horrors of Sharia Law "Oh it is just missunderstood"
