Only severly mentally retarded will think that Islam reduces woman's status.
The other lot who can procalim is composed of utterly dishonest people. They
even forget that if that was indeed the case then women would have not
surpassed to accept Islam in the recent times. From Switzerland to Germany to
USA everywhere the women out number men in accepting Islam.
This fact also throws light on the utter injutice prevalent in European style
ignorant soceity where weak has to suffer more.
Jim Holland who is utterly dishonest and callous person whiel commenting on
woman status in Islam conveniently forget that:
-
Islam totally frees woman from all economic burdens, To support family
(Wife, children) and parents (Father and mother) and disabled brothers and
sisters is exclusive responsibility of males.
-
In case of witness Quran is very clear. it says two women so that in case
one forgets other cna remind her. In other words for mutual cosultation. A
woman may not talk to a stranger while man will rahter gladly talk to any
woman. Islam here protects female's feminity and honor. In the Euro style
ignorant society females are portrayed as an lifeless object of pleasure
for male chauvinists. Males are covered from head to toe while females are
pressurized to take off their scarves, keep their chest open and show
their legs to all in the streets and offices. This is doen through social
pressure.
-
Islam saves woman's display and abuse and it puts real pressure on cheap
males who get frsutrated and start blaming Islam because they are
prevented from committing abuse of females through their lustful eyes.
-
In Islam woman gets half of the share of her brother but she keeps the
entire money to herself while her brother will have to spend that money on
his wife, children and parents.
-
True man is incharge of house (There can't be two heads) but then he has
many more responsibilites. he has to pray five times on exact time in
mosque, participate in Jihad when necessary, protect his family, provide
food and shetler and education etc to his family.
-
Mother has three times more right on children than father. Paradise
is said to be under the feet of mother and not father. The children are
supposed to give more respect and take care fo their mother more than
their father.
-
Her husabnad can not have ilicit relations with other females. He is
required to lower his gaze. he can not have extra marital relations and he
has to take care of his wife with love and tenderness and must gladly
spend on his family. Ont he other hand wife is required to keep her
chastity and do not show her beauty anyone except her husband.
-
As a result there is no woman abuse in truly Isamic society. There are a
few ugly incidences in those communities who are not practicing Islam but
only claiming to be Muslim. Here fault lies with these pseudo Muslims
rather than Islam
