Just a quick look' at how islam honors and respects women. Oh yes, those feminists who battle anything and everything male? They are in a separate room at the mosque, trying on their new burqas and and other islamic finery.

How islam honors women.

Qur'an (4:11) - (Inheritance) "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females" (see also verse 4:176).


Qur'an (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women." Muslim apologists have sometimes creatively tried to explain why a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man's under Islamic law (based on this verse) while still attempting to maintain the semblance of equality. Unfortunately for them, studies consistently show that women are less likely to tell lies than men, meaning that they would make more reliable witnesses in any court - were it not for Islam's obvious sexism.


Qur'an (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]"


Qur'an (5:6) - "And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it" Men are to rub dirt on their hands if there is no water to purify them following casual contact with a woman (such as shaking hands).


Qur'an (24:31) - Women are to lower their gaze around men, so they do not look them in the eye. (To be fair, men are told to do the same thing in the prior verse).


Qur'an (2:223) - "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will..." A man has dominion over his wives' bodies as he does his land. This verse is overtly sexual. There is some dispute as to whether it is referring to the practice of anal intercourse, which it has been used historically to justify. If this is what Muhammad meant, however, then it would appear to contradict what he said in Muslim (8:3365).


Qur'an (4:3) - (Wife-to-husband ratio) "Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four"


Qur'an (53:27) - "Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names." Angels are sublime beings, and would therefore be male.


Qur'an (4:24) and Qur'an (33:50) - A man is permitted to take women as sex slaves outside of marriage. Note that the verse distinguishes wives from captives (those whom they right hand possesses).

A Pastor wants to burn the qur'an while this 11 year old girl gets this from her muslim uncle

Just to repeat my position on the qur'an burning day, I do not condone this behavior but it is a protected under freedom of speech in our Constitution. The qur'an is islam's 'holy' book. Now watch this video and look at the face of this 11 year old girl who had her face set on fire by her loving uncle simply because she put on some lipstick. Absolutely horrendous and now this young girl is scarred for life unless she gets some help. So burn a book or a human being? I am asking again; where are the feminists?

Recent updates on abuses of women at the hands of islam

Here is a list of updated events against women in the islamic world. Remember this whenever some islamist or muslim apologist tries to tell you that islam honors women. Once again, where are the feminists screaming out against this 'femicide' that occurs on daily basis in the islamic world.
