when will Muslims start treating their women as equals?

Update:

"You can't judge a religion by its people, judge it by its scriptures.

Islam promotes nothing but peace and civilization between the people"

There lies the root of the problem, the scriptures, want some verses?

Update 2:

You Muslims choose to ignore FACTS and HISTORY.

Women ARE treated like second class citizens, they can't go out and enjoy themselves, dress how they like, be what they like. MOhamHEAD has seen to that.

Update 3:

"The Bible expects total submission from women.

Please do not say that it does not because I used to lead bible studies for years for 2 churches.

Most domestic abuse occurs in the USA ."

Finger pointing! thats not like you Muslims....... *sighs

Yea, I look around and see Muslim women treated like shít, I don't see Christian women treated as the way the bible says because (thankfully) the bible isn't taken so damn literally, unlike the queeran...

How many female priests are there compared to female imams?

    Great question. One that many muslims will not know how to answer accordingly. The only clear answer is found in the Holy Quran.. The Quran mainly preachs that woman are no more than mere sexual slaves to their husbands. No amount of denial from Muslims can change what is written plain and clear in their book.

    I am a muslim and I am treated as an equal. If you're going to write a hate question you should at least get your facts right. I dress how I dress because I choose to follow islam. And I do go out and enjoy myself in a way that it follows my religion as it is my CHOICE.

    I think the question should be rewritten as :

    When will Christians treat their women as equals???

    there are more female pm in islamic countries than in christian countries.

    PS: You need to get a life than to just sit there a and talk bad about other people's religion if you want to someones religion criticise your own religion . It is filled with errors. There are also waaaaaaaaaaay more racist christians then there are muslims

    It's terrible however you mentioned the reality... That's why they stoned a sixteen 12 months historical in iran considering she used to be announcing she used to be being raped. Women aren't same in islam and someone who says the reverse is dillusional or mendacity to themselves. Islam is an oppressive and terrible faith for ladies and youngsters.

    If i wasn't treated as an equal, I wouldn't have an education, job, or anything.

    I'd be barefoot, in the kitchen, and knocked up.

    But, I am not.

    Imams are shia. Shia isn't Islam.

    Please, tell me, how am I treated like shít? I want to know what is done to me, so I can change it.

    As has been said the 2 largest Muslim countries have had a woman President or woman prime minister.

    As for women Preists , = Zero as Priests are in the Roman Catholic Church which will not ordaine women.

    The Bible forbids women from preaching [even New Testament]

    Muslim Countries have had Women leaders which is more than the USA has ever done.

    The Bible expects total submission from women.

    Please do not say that it does not because I used to lead bible studies for years for 2 churches.

    Most domestic abuse occurs in the USA .

    Islam was the 1st religion or system to give women's right.

    So your argument fails.

    If you consider acts of an individual against then stop blaming Islam bcoz they are going against Islam.

    In USA, every 2 minutes a rape takes place.If that is freedom for women, then what more can I say?

    Islam has a solution to that that is capital punishment.

    But you even don't want that you want feed rapists.

    You people don't want women to cover else how will you pleasure your eyes.

    This is male dominated society!

    I'm a Muslim woman and I'm treated better than any of my male relatives.

    In some countries cultural values come into play, which prevents women from having their God given rights. The media does tend to hype things up though, I've been to such countries and they're not half as bad as they're made out to be.

    The USA has never had a female president whereas Indonesia, the country with the highest Muslim population has.

    Those Scriptures actually gave women rights most women were denied before Islam (except a few of the very wealthy). The right to choose their husband, the right to inheritance, the right to their own property (which is theirs to dispose of however they choose to), the right to an education and the abolition of female infanticide and wife inheritance are just a few of the rights mentioned for women.

    Edit: Really? And who are these Muslim women you see being treated like $hit? Do you see it in the media or have you actually met and spoken to Muslim women? You don't have a clue about us so stop trying to speak for us regarding our treatment when we know about it more than you do.

    @Tom where is the source to your ludicrous claims?

    Typical uneducated tw4t.

    Its true that some muslims are not treating women fairly but that is due to their mentalities and the way they were raised.

    You can't judge a religion by its people, judge it by its scriptures.

    Islam promotes nothing but peace and civilization between the people.
