Muslim ladies, could you please answer this for me?

I am a Muslim woman from a religious family (living in Iran) with education both about my religion and in modern sciences (I am a software engineer).

I do not believe that being educated in any way betrays Islam and on the contrary Islam encourages education and it doesn't set a gender for it. The Prophet SAWA has ordered Muslims to seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave (i.e. all through their lives) and as someone has already mentioned the first verse of the Quran that was revealed ordered the Prophet SAWA to "read". No where in Islamic textures would you find a ban for Muslim women being educated.

I personally believe that by being educated, I am of more use to my religion.

As for the case you have mentioned, I hadn't followed the news about it in detail but as far as I know, her only cause wasn't about education and she had also rejected some of the Islamic laws, including the need for Hijab and etc. .

But even if my version of the news is correct, she surely didn't deserve to be shot and a person doesn't become an apostate with rejecting the secondary laws of Islam (the primary ones being believing in God as The One and Only creator of the universe and in Muhammad SAWA as the rightful and last prophet of God and in the previous prophets).

I'm a Muslim 16 year old girl (still in school haha!) No absolutely not, those people who believe that it's wrong for a Muslim Woman to have an education are living in the past. Even in the Qu'ran it says that a woman should get an education but she also has a right and duty to her family. For this particular reason I want to get an education but then when I have my first child I want to stay at home and be there for it (i could never leave it with someone else to raise). I don't think i've betrayed my religion but infact followed it (:

Hahaha if i was anywhere near him, i think i'd tell him to go educate himself :')

First; ignore Omar Bakri, he's a fanatic muslim.

second; as said philip "Islam encourages education" myself i'm well- educated muslim woman, so this omar bakri has misinterpreted the koran,and people like him have to be ignored so Malala is in the right!

Get off your high horse - Islam encourages education

The very first word revealed from the Quran was Iqra - Read (gain knowledge).

Islam encourages Education without any discrimination. As simple as that.

I would explain how stupid his approach was and that the girl had a point.

NO

she is a marthy
