Are WOMAN "EVIL OMENS" or is Muhammad wrong on this issue?

Sounds like a repressive religion you belong to. A woman can be evil, but that doesn't mean that all women are evil.\nAnd how can a horse be evil? And a house?

1.That not every single Muslim woman who wears the hijab is subservient to men. Sure there are Muslim men who twist the words of God to fit their evil thinking, but that's in all religions. So why should I be the poster child for how bad/backward/silly/claustrophobic others think Islam and the hijab are?\n\n2. Muslims are not commanded to hate and kill the so-called infidels! I'm so sick and tired of hearing that bs. I mean if that's the truth then I would have to hate my mother and her family! \nCome on people! Read the Qu'ran with open eyes and hearts. Chapter 109: The Disbelievers\n1.Say: O! Disbelievers!\n2. I worship not that which you worship,\n3. Nor will you worship that which I worship.\n4. And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping.\n5. Nor will you worship that which I worship.\n6. To you be your religion, and to me my religion.\n\n3. Reading a translation of the Qu'ran is not the same as reading the Qu'ran in Arabic. Arabic is a hard language to translate and the Qu'ran is even harder. I mean even Arabs have a hard time with it. There are words in it that no one knows the meanings to except God. \nSo how can anyone who's read the abriged and translated version claim to have any understanding what's so ever? Qu'ranic scholars study for years to really understand it and even a lay-person such as myself will tell you that every single time i read it I pick up a new meaning. That's the eternal message and beauty of it- a new meaning each time; a new solution to a problem you didn't know you faced.\n\n4. A tafsir or an explanation of the Qu'ran would come in great for anyone who's reading the Qu'ran and just wants to go deeper. A tafsir explains each of the 6000+ verses in detail. It explains the hows, whens, whys, and wheres of each verse. \nAdditionally it not only includes Muslim explanations of the verses, but Jewish as well. (Especially concerning Moses (PBUH)).\n\n5. When I discuss Islam's message with people, they always tell me how my God doesn't have mercy or grace or any other characteristic attributable to a 'good god'. Instead He's all about violence and punishment and retribution. \nI wish those people read the 99 names of God. According to Muslim tradition God has given himself 99 names that are indictive of his characteristics and attributes. Trust me when I say, Muslims cry when hearing His names. I wish people could know them; then they'd know.

The fact that the early Catholic church made MM out to be a prostitute (even though the Christian bible does not say this anywhere), is evidence to support that they had something against her. This tradition goes back to saint Peter who, according to the [banned] gnostic scriptures indicate that he was against "the woman". Now just look at the mindset of those Roman Catholics who burned gnostics and their writings, and imagine that these are the ones who chose the books for the bible. Do you think they were honest? No, the Magdalene was not a whore, not even demon-possessed, she was the son of man's consort.

Well I think its a shame what both religions are saying about each other i have argued with so called Christians about calling Muhammad a pedophile many times here on answers...It is debatable the age of Aisha and the culture and times would not have made him a pedophile. It gets ugly while i was trying to defend Muslims they were posting sites that absolutely lied about God and Christians and the Bible so it cuts both ways. As a Christian I am more offended by folks calling themselves Christians and acting inappropriately...but such is the way of the world I guess.

By the way I'm a woman not a mant hats sexist\nbut think about what ll prophets went through??\nyou need to be strong to stand up against a village of ppl and tell them to worship god!!\ntasks like that aren't easy for women.\nthe prophet Abraham as thrown into fire by this ppl he didn't get hurt but the ppl told him if your god is real the he'll save you from the fire how is a women going to bring up the courage to willingly get put in to a fire?\nplus its known women think more with there hearts rather their heads.\nTo be a prophet means to only think with your head not let you emotions get involved. \nalso the prophet Abraham didn't have his first child until he was an old man with Grey hair and when g_d commanded him to leave him and his wife in the desert with no food and no water he did??\nhow many women can do that??\nread up on what the went through you'll understand.\n\n\nJust to add on women have no rights thats not tru \nif you know anything about islam\nWomen have the right to work\nlearn to swim\nan education\nand to ride horses or in our day drive cars

if someone forces a Muslim [Muslim woman] to cover - that indicates two things: one, the woman doesn't understand Islam, therefore, she doesn't know that it is an obligation from the Creator of everything, Allah(swt). in this case, it's most likely the guardians are to blame because they didn't teach her while she was young. and secondly, if the woman/girl is old enough that she can learn on her own - she must choose what's right path - the family should disown her if she doesn't follow the rules and regulations of Islam. or they should teach her what's right - if they didn't when she was young. it's not what one family likes or dislikes - it is the order of Allah(swt) that people must obey by...forcing someone to do certain thing is NOT Islamic in any way shape or form - at the end, no one is held responsible for some one else's wrong doings - stop fooling around with yourselves people - come back to the true path, Islam - truly, it is a mercy from Allah (swt) - this world is nothing but a glittering show -\n----\n\nto: trexcer - you don't follow your Creator/Allah(swt), the One who created you - you still claim you're a pious person? get hold of yourself... think before talking.\n\n----\nto: hoshi - who created you? the One who created you and everything else said only women to cover - who are you to complain?

Hmmm. I don't know. Maybe they just think that Islam is evil because a crazy bunch of Muslims flew some airplanes into some buildings in the name of Allah. Maybe Islam gets a bad name because some of the lunatics that follow the religion are still fighting a holy war against the rest of the world that most of the world stopped fighting 400 years ago. Or maybe, Islam gets a bad name because they treat women like dirt. Hmmm. I don't know. Oh and by the way... I am an atheist. You can't say that I think this way because I am christian. I think all religions are idiotic, but as far as world religions go Islam gets my nomination for the award for being the most retarded. Hey Muslims... the year is 2006. Get over it!

to atheist \nactually the only country that says  women cant drive is Saudi Arabia.and they made that rule for culture reasons not Islamic and they are even of thinking of getting rid of this law soon!and the stoning is for the adulter/adulteress.so men and women get stoned for committing that sin.and no Muslims country follows that punishment any more\n\ni so agree with Sabrina.its right many Muslim women do not know their rights as Muslim women.they only follow what their culture tells them to do.when Islam came the prophet Mohammad he forbid the Arabs from burying baby girls alive.Islam also gave women the right to divorce and property.\n\np.s i would like know how can a non-muslim tell a muslim(who knows their religion better) that the translation the sabrina gave is a load of crap.that doesnt make sense.thats like me telling a christian about their religion i have no right to tell them that their meanings of the bibles are wrong.ppl should respect other ppls beliefs.

Yes, it is true.\nMy Arab friend tells me the stories and I read about them all the time.\nI think some of them just don't respect these women because they're not Muslim, plus they think she's just a housemaid, and that they mistake that even though Saud Arabia abolished slavery many years ago, they still think it's okay to rape a housemaid.\nIn Islam, a man is allowed up to 4 wives, and any women on the right hand he possesses. This means slaves. However, a housemaid is PAID a salary to do housework in the house, not a slave, not a sex worker, she's not a woman on the right hand.\nSome of these men are sick, cruel, barbaric and they make Islam look so bad with their disgusting, illiterate thinking.

Muhammad (pbuh) will strongly disapprove this LilPink  because he told us the teaching of Allah( GOD) n he has clearly told that never kill innocent ,ladies, old peoples or rest of the  peacful peoples and fight only to those who are fighting with u, He told us not to destroy even vegetation if u are fighting in enemy area.....and fight only to those who attack you. well killing in islam is basicaly for defensive purpose n God doen't like killing innocents.....killing is only allowed for war purpose  .like when u are attacked by some invader who want to destrou your sovereingnty u should fight with them .......for those redical muslims i must say they are Wrong totaly wrong and they are terrorist........they are not following true islam and these are the peoples who brought bad name to our religion but the worse thing is that rest of the world also judge islam on basis of those redicals....they are  not following islam..i must say they are equal to that terrorism that is being practised in Iraq and Afghanistan, \n  the sad aspect is that there are redicals in other religions as well but only islam is judged on  their activites while rest of the religions are spared.... anyways..simple answer to ur question is that Yes Muhammad will strongly condemn such activities.which are surely terrorism..\n\n peace!!

Good point.  \n\nA friend's mum, when confronted with the statement it was a womans fault this happened, replys, 'It took the very Devil himself to tempt Eve.  It only took a woman to tempt the man.'\n\nclever response, I think (whether you are a Christian or not).  It usually shuts them (typically a man) up.

I'm a Muslim so probably what I would have to say might make you guys think that I am biased. But my answer is simple: no, I do not think the Muslims are bad people. The only bad people are those who are using the name of Allah and Islam to wage jihad (the holy war). Muslims do not encourage war, on the contrary - we are a very peaceful religion. It is those who take it to the extremities who are the ones who are making Muslims look bad.\n\nWearing a burqa is the sign of extremity. In Islam, you are only required to cover certain parts of your body - for the women, you are required to wear a scarf and cover your entire body to from shoulder to knee. To cover the face isn't a necessity but those who take it to the extremes feel that if a woman doesn't cover her face in the presence of men, it would lead the men to committing sin such as rape and so on and so forth. Mind you, that is hypocritical bulls***. I don't believe in that.\n\nIn some places where Islam is taken to the extremes, they stone women for committing adultery. I remember a few years ago when a woman was condemned to death by stoning for committing said adultery and getting pregnant. When this took place, the world Muslim world was thrown into an outrage. In an age of modernity, stoning should not be an issue anymore. But yet, there are some of those among the Muslims who see it as a punishment. An act to repent thy sins.... I say, yeah whatever.\n\nThat said, it is proof enough that not all Muslims are bad. There are those who still protest over stoning, those who are constantly fighting for the rights of women, and those who still are angered over 9/11 and the actions of those who think irrationally. Rewarded with a dozen women and the pleasures of heaven for fighting in the name of God? I think not. Not especially if you're fighting for all the wrong reasons. The Muslims are not bad people. The extremists are.

Lady, IT'S WRONG!!!!!\nExodus 20:14  Thou shalt not commit adultery.\n\nLeviticus 20:10  And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.\n\nDeuteronomy 5:18  Neither shalt thou commit adultery.\n\nProverbs 6:32  But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.\n\nJeremiah 3:8  And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.\n\nJeremiah 3:9  And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.\n\nJeremiah 5:7  How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.\n\nJeremiah 7:9  Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;\n\nJeremiah 23:14  I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.\n\nJeremiah 29:23  Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.\n\nEzekiel 16:32  But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!\n\nEzekiel 23:37  That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.\n\nHosea 4:2  By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.\n\nHosea 4:13  They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.\n\nHosea 4:14  I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.\n\nMatthew 5:27  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:\n\nMatthew 5:28  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.\n\nMatthew 5:32  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.\n\nMatthew 19:9  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.\n\nMatthew 19:18  He saith unto him, Which?

why does it teach in Islam that a man can beat his wife\n\nTabari IX:113 “Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.” \n\nWhy does it say in Islam that women are stupid\n\nTabari I:280 “Allah said, ‘It is My obligation to make Eve bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created her intelligent.’ Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid.” \n\nBukhari:V3B48N826 “The Prophet said, ‘Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?’ The women said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind.’” \n\nIshaq:584 “Tell the men with you who have wives: never trust a woman.” \n\nWhy does it say in islam that most people in hell are women\n\nBukhari:V1B22N28 “The Prophet said: ‘I was shown the Hell Fire and the majority of its dwellers were women who are disbelievers or ungrateful.’ When asked what they were ungrateful for, the Prophet answered, ‘All the favors done for them by their husbands.’” \n\nIshaq:185 “In hell I saw women hanging by their breasts. They had fathered bastards.” \n\nWhy does it say in islam that women should die by starvation\n\nQur’an 4:15 “If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to houses until death [by starvation] claims them.”\n\nWhy does it say in islam that you can force a woman \n\nQur’an 24:34 “Force not your slave-girls to whoredom (prostitution) if they desire chastity, that you may seek enjoyment of this life. [And here’s the freedom-to-pimp card:] But if anyone forces them, then after such compulsion, Allah is oft-forgiving.”

I think it is the definition if irony. The Muslums are upset over the depiction of their prophet with a bomb for a turban and they then commit terrorist acts. They are provint the cartoon to be accurate. Have you seen any other religion act like this? Look at all of the bad depictions of Jesus there are. Do christians go around threatening violence?

"God" if there is such a thing is not/could not be encompassed by any book written by humans.  If one truly studies all the scholarly research regarding the Bible, one can see that the various writers each had their own biased agenda and are therefore suspect.\n\nEach woman must make her own choice with her own best ethical understanding.  The society has an obligation to offer her the highest education (not the excuse for education we now offer)she is able to attain in order to have the fullest use of her own faculties with which she may decide matters of importance. The only role anyone else should have in it is making it so that she may exercise her choice in a legal safe environment.  Whether she chooses to abort or to carry to term, the society has an obligation to care for her and support her decision to make her own choice.  \n\nThe Bible has instances of justified infanticide and incest. Of course the definitions vary according to the society and time period. Each of these issues is a social construct, usually designed to have men control women.  This has clearly not been a good plan for anyone.
