Jan 15 2012: Thanks Mohammad Marohombsar for your input.
I disagree with you at many levels. First, no need for a person to be a Muslim to be able to read, research, and understand what Islamic sources are teaching. Second, you state the prophet of Islam was the fist to advocate women rights. Can you prove it historically that no onw before him did so? and why was his first wife Khadija so prominant in her society before even meeting Muhammad and before Islam even started?
I like for you to read these links and asess the Islamic teachings in them and provide your insight in an unbiased way. Thanks.
Jan 14 2012: Ahsan. Thank you for the input. How can one define real Islam? what is the source for it? is real Islam jut the Quran? or The Quran and the Prophet's teachings? curious to know what you mean by real Islam.
I ask becasue I was always under the impression that there is only one Islam?
Jan 11 2012: good point. The only way women can see this problem is by living in an Islamic country like Saudi Arabia or Iran and see for themselves how the real Islam is different than the Westernized one when it comes to their treatment. Thanks for your valuable input.
