I just saw the first woman in my town with full hijab - only the eyes visible. Standing behind husband / brother like a prisoner. Very, very sad indeed and a sign that my town is going downhill fast.
What you are referring to is not the hijab. It’s is the niqab. It’s a cultural norm within several Middle Eastern gulf countries and not required by the Islamic faith. Don’t confuse cultural norms with religious requirements. That being said, the sister may not be nearly as oppressed as you think. The gulf women that wear the niqab tend to be affluent, educated and not particular interested in Western sympathy.
@ Oh I know it’s cultural, that’s why it’s offensive to my culture because, as you know as well as I do, there are serious social, corporal or capital sanctions for not following these rules in many Islamic communities. I can’t think of anything more oppressive - possibly ankle chains?
Wow. You should go to the UK and explain this to the grooming gang victim. And to the endless refugees from muslim countries, seeking rights and respect in other parts of the world. And.. well. Ex muslims who saw the religion differently and decided it was worth risking their lives to exit that beautiful and loving community you speak of. Explain this to the nigerians, kenyans, mozambicans, somalis, sudanese, gazans, syrians, afghans, iraqis, iranians etc etc etc etc.
It’s not alleged. It’s a fact. But apparently Muhammad is the perfect man. Does that make sense? No. Nor does Islam. But the good news is it’s being exposed.

So what is a religion? Is it the text or the way it is practiced? Or perhaps the translation, as many Islamic scholars say that one must read the Quran in Arabic to best understand? Since I’m not a Muslim, I’m going with how it is practiced. What I see seems to be that everything is filtered through a man’s eyes. If women have all kinds of rights, they are not readily apparent.
Perhaps it is both the ideal and the lived experience. There is a great deal of confusion on this issue - hence the video. It is a video intended for both Muslim and non-Muslim audiences. I intended it to be a small effort toward tearing down some of the false perceptions of people in the West, but also to remind my Muslim brothers and sisters of the lofty ideals that Islam has called them to espouse and to champion. Thank you for tuning in - Mehmet.
Before I sit through this: does it clarify whether a six year old can be married? I understand that this prophet married a six year old in his 50s.. is that true, and what rights might she have had?
You are referring to Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, one of the most beloved and revered women in all of Islamic history. There is a lot to be said on this issue. It would be difficult to capture it all in a reply to a message here. Suffice it to say, at least for the moment, that Aisha was wed per the cultural norms of the time and did not engage in any marital activity until such time as that would be appropriate. I may address this topic separately in the future - Mehmet.

Did he not allegedly marry a 9 year old girl?

What happens if you leave Islam? What happens if you're s white woman who is not wearing a burka? So much love in Islam, sending love to Israel
