'Islam grants women equal rights'

2013-11-21

[Pak Daily Times] International Islamic University (IIU) President Prof Dr Ahmed Yousaf al-Draiweesh on Wednesday said Islam provided equal rights and opportunities to women so that they could excel and contribute to the development of the society.

He was speaking at a seminar titled 'Women Entrepreneurship in Pakistain; Opportunity and Challenges' organised by the IIU Faculty of Management Sciences (FMS).

He said there was no disparity based on gender in Islam and women had equal rights to groom themselves in all walks of life, following the core tenets of Islam.

#5 I think the crayon means the 72 virgins (which are always 'virgin' and don't have menstrual periods) are much like a brick or a rock is a 'virgin' - it simply doesn't have the equipment to be 'deflowered'.

#4 so they get 77 virgins, too?

That sounds like Hell for wimmin, wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am-wise-speaking.

#2 He's right, its right there in the Quran (if my English language translation of the Quran is correct).

Because most Muslims and like most Christians in that they don't read the Quran or the Bible and rely on the Imam or Pastor to give them the true skinny on what is contained there in, most Muslims, particularly the semi-illiterate and isolated, believe women are breeding stock and farm labor...according to their Imam.

Islam is infected with a lot of Imams who are misogynists and xenophobes. The lack of a viable central authority to bring the idiots to heel means it only takes one nutjob Imam to pollute the theology. AND this leads to Islam being a backward looking and reactionary religion.

Most of the problem with Islam is the most vocal are the most irrational...computers, science, medicine, vaccines, if it is not in the Quran, it is unIslamic...geez the Quran was written over 1200 years ago...

Islam will always have this problem until the more literate and more rational start policing the faith for those whose delusional ramblings and crazy fatwss discredit the rest.

#1 Some countries knock off folks they don't agree with and try to make it look like an accident. Some folks (Al Capone included) have to deliver a message. This guy will probably get blown to smithereens, and nobody will mistake it for a gas leak.
