[QUOTE="Auzer, post: 166035, member: 17400"] Regarding the topic of women in Islam , it is clearly evident that Islam is one of the most 'feminist' religion out there. Islam started in 7th century in the tribal society of Arabia. In those times , Arabs used to bury their daughters alive. Women had no legal , economic , property rights. Situation of rights was not any better in the Christian Europe too. After the advent of Islam, Arabs got revolutionized. Islam [B]explicitly[/B] gave women these rights in 7th century... [COLOR=Red][B]1-Right to secular education. 2-Right to divorce (even on the basis of sexual dissatisfaction from a man) 3-Right to independent property . 4 Right to [/B][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][B]inheritance of the family property.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=Red][B] 5-Right to do independent business.[/B][/COLOR] Now , when did women of other cultures got those rights? Probably centuries after Muslim women? Which other religion *explicitly* gives all these rights to women? Remember , explicitly means that we don't have to 'interpret,re-interpret' etc. It is written in Islam right there! Today people ,specially in the West, blame Islam for many bad practices of the Muslim societies such as [I]honor killings or women rights in Saudi Arabia etc [/I]but all this has nothing to do with Islam. Cultural practices should not be mixed with the religion. 100,000 women have been raped in Congo , is it a fault of Christianity? Even today , little young girls are BURNED ALIVE in Christian parts of Africa due to witch hunt...but Christians will call this 'ignorance' of Africans instead of blaming it on religion...but why then show double standards when it comes to Islam? Honor killings in India is not due to Sikhism or Hinduism , is it? Female infanticide is also not due to Sikhism or Hinduism. So why blame all social problems in Muslim societies on Islam? Here's something interesting though ...[COLOR=Blue][B] If you read the Medieval European criticism of Islam , one of the main criticism was that Islam gives too much liberty to the women(and slaves).
