That's the weirdest debate ive seen in my life and i can't believe there are actually people ( and a woman among them! ) who have the face in this day and age to actually suggest that men and women shouldnt be equal cause its " western " ! shame on them

Tariq swuadan is Amazing

[TheIdealMuslima]

Heres a reality check the rights of woman of modern times are granted voluntarily or out of kindness to the female. Modern woman reached her present position by force, and not through natural processes or mutual consent or Divine teachings. She had to force her way, and various circumstances came to her aid.

This is a debate between religion and politics. Two completely different things.

Shame on them for wanting there own differences. America started out by British people themselves. They wanted there own policies. They were different then the British. Same would apply to this topic. There differences are that Islam is there, while the Wests perspective and ideas derive from many different people and places. Hope you see this as another perspective and nothing more. This is what i understood from these types of isolated and one way debates.
