Here's an excerpt from this website ...

Islam should be viewed as a religion that had immensely improved the status of women and had granted them many rights that the modern world has recognized only this century. Islam still has so much to offer today's woman: dignity, respect, and protection in all aspects and all stages of her life from birth until death in addition to the recognition, the balance, and means for the fulfilment of all her spiritual, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
That's why it is no surprise to find that most converts to Islam, today, in a country like Britain are women.
In the U.S. women converts to Islam outnumber men converts 4 to 1 [85]
Islam has so much to offer our world which is in great need of moral guidance and leadership. Ambassador Herman Eilts, in a testimony in front of the committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress on June 24th, 1985, said, "The Muslim community of the globe today is in the neighbourhood of one billion. That is an impressive figure. But what to me is equally impressive is that Islam today is the fastest growing monotheistic religion. This is something we have to take into account. Something is right about Islam. It is attracting a good many people." (Or, it is the last "boy's club" among the major religions and therefore a target for infiltration on a large scale.)

Much More: Women in Islam

Is this an Islamic feminist site?

Feckless: Although it sounds like a feminist website, it is not. It is a website designed to edify non-Muslims as to the facts of their religion.
Those rights they listed are supposed to be guaranteed by the Q'uran,
as unbelievable as it may sound.

The Quran says that men are allowed to rape their captives, that Jews are pigs and so on. That's enough for me to dislike any of it's supporters.

The issue is... Why mind the KKK and tout up Islam?

Who's touting up Islam? Why the quantum leap to the Ku Klux Klan?
What rights are the Ku Klux Klan claiming they give to women? Do Ku Klux Klansmsn make their women wear burkhas?

Sounds like a view of Islam carefully crafted for the left-wing western media.
Some of the interpretations are very dubious.

I've lived in Turkey, Pakistan and now Muslim Mindanao - but don't recognise the picture it paints. Maybe I need to do some more research.

marunong ka !!!!!

Read the Quran. I did.

I would rather have taken my chances with the KKK or Islam than the gibbering freeloading feminits and their rip off Family Courts

I would place feminitism like a growing and terminal cancer in the Western body corporate and like all cancers end up dying with the body it kills

feminit wimyn are like dodders and devote their lives to rip off tactics for hard worked for assets of men and garner their kids as hostages to fate in their legal feminit Family Court machinations

the feminite core soul components comprise avarice and malice with a sprinkling of old fashioned spite

feminits never stop wailing for more largesse from men but being careful to give very little or nothing in return

quid pro quo "ya gotta be kidding"she retorts; feminits real attitude to 'equality'

feminitism is like the tail wagging the dog

I've been reading the Q'uran and the Hadith for more than 30 years. I was a teacher of Muslim children for 16 years. I've spent a total of 12 years living in Muslim countries.

Ok. If you insist.

Ang mabait mo - maraming salamat po!

Pero, diri sa Mindanao dili mi magamit ug Tagalog – usahay lang. Istoriya mi sa Binisaya (Visayan), - magbasa ug magsulat sa English. Puyo nako diri sa Visayas dugay na. Maong, akong Tagalog medyo gamay lang.

So, what does 9:29 say? :P

I was watching a program about Suadi Arabia the other evening. In it was described the 'normal' way of marriage. Arranged. The husband to be in the program had not met his bride to be and was being given 'advice' from his friends. One such friend was complaining that now, six years after his own marriage he was still paying instalments on the bride-price to his father-in-law !

That list of Feck's, above looks a lot different from practice. It seems to me that having a woman's 'right' to work which doesn't enable a woman to sell knickers to other women - as a thread here earlier talked about - is a hollow right.

Also a muslim man can divorce immediately without reference to anyone, even his wife, wheras a woman wanting a divorce has to argue her case in a Sharia court.

OK ... what does it say? (Others are reading this thread as well; don't cut them out!).(~)
