ISLAM AND WOMEN
In Islam, men and women are different from each other and each has
their respective roles. Honoring and respecting women in Islam is a
sign of a good, wholesome character and an unadulterated nature. The
Messenger of Islam, Muhammad said:
"The best of you are the best of you towards their wives." (Tirmidhi)
The woman is also the first person to whom a man must act righteously,
maintain ties with, and treat well. When a man asked the Messenger of
Islam, Muhammad to whom he should show the best companionship, he
replied: "Your mother." He said, "Then who?" He said, "Your mother."
He said, "Then who?" He said, "Your mother." He said, "Then who?" He
said, "Your father." (Bukhari)
The Messenger of Islam, Muhammad said:
"Women are the twin halves of men." (Abu Dawud)
1. Women are equal to men in their humanity. They are
not the source of sin nor are they the reason Adam was expelled from
Jannah (Heavenly Gardens).
2. Women are equal to men in their individuality. They
neither lose their names nor the names of their family upon marriage.
They do not fade away and blend into the identity of men.
3. Women are equal to men in regards to reward and
punishment in this life as well as the next.
4. Women are equal to men in that Islam seeks to
maintain and uphold their honor and chastity.
5. Women are equal to men in that they have a right to
inheritance, as do men.
6. Women are equal to men in that they have full right
to do as they please with their wealth.
7. Women are equal to men in regards to the obligation
of shouldering the responsibility of social reform.
8. Women are equal to men in their right to receive an
education and proper upbringing.
9. Woman and man have an equal share of rights in
matters pertaining to good rearing, proper teaching and caring. Islam
assures that when applying these rights of women they would be put at
a higher position.
10. =95 Women have the right to provisions from her husband
for all her needs and more. If she=92s not married then she has the
right to provisions from her brother(s). If she doesn=92t have brothers
then the closest of kin to her.
11. =95 A woman has the right to keep all of her own money.
She is not responsible for maintaining the family financially.
12. =95 Women have the right to get sexual satisfaction from
her husband.
13. =95 A woman has the right to get custody of her children
in case of divorce unless she is unable to raise them for a valid
reason.
14. =95 Women have the right to re-marry after divorce or
after becoming a widow.
The Prophet of Allah said:
"Whoever has three daughters or three sisters, and fears Allah in
their guardianship, will be together with me in Paradise like this."
He indicated with his index and second fingers. (Ahmad & others )

Joys of Muslim Women
By Nonie Darwish
In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old
and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.
The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes
his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use
her as a toy.
Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce.
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.
Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the
family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an
honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their
wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.
The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an
hour (prostitute) at his discretion.
The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of
the woman. In the West World ( America and Britain ) Muslim men are
starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he
can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how
many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities and
British Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves
and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.
By passing this on, enlightened American and British women may avoid
becoming a slave under Shariah Law.
Ripping the West in Two.
Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to
impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.
She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying
Global Implications of Islamic Law.Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her
childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when
she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on
Israel . He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with
his family in Gaza .
When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad. His
posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in
Muslim society. But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She
questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing.. She converted to
Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television. In her
latest book, Darwish warns about creeping shariah law - what it is, what
it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.
For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on
the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed.
Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the
dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims
should be subjugated or killed in this world.
Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring
that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the
world.
While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of
the golden rule, Shariah teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims
and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh
century, Shariah encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from
and subjugate others.
While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a
personal understanding of and relationship with God, Shariah advocates
executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as
criticism.
It's hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree
that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be
executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even
assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are
silenced through intimidation.
While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over
time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an
extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and
elsewhere.
(In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters(in the U.S. And
Britain To elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do
so... You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA ..
Dearborn Mich. Is one... And there are others....) ( Britain has several
cities now totally controlled by Muslims),/I>
(
I think everyone in the U.S. And Great Britain ( Should be required to
read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely
publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
