One must remember, that in Islam, unless you are a true believer, you are not consider worthily of any truth.  Therefore you may be lied to, killed and held to a different set of laws.  The freedom of speech that seems to be going around about Islam is only that in which the Mullahs allow you to speak.  There is none to speak of and there is only death to those that commit any type of unkind talk about Mohammad.

And how much do you know about Islam??? Lots enough for you to talk about something that indeed you have very less knowledge about it???\n   Many people all over this world talk about freedom including free to be muslim, christian, budhist and so on. But how many of us respect every single person's right to be in which religion they want to? Including respect their faith and beleive. For example, be careful in whatever issue that you want to raise.

First of all, there are rights and responsibilities. For every right you enjoy (freedom of speech) there are responsibilities (respecting other people's rights.) Think of it this way: everyone has the right to feel safe and to not be slandered. If you were the Prime Minister, and someone goes up to you and calls you an "idiotic fool", would that not anger you? Freedom of speech only lasts if you are respectful of the rights of others. You will be punished if you infringe on everyone else's rights, so I guess freedom is limited. \n\nIn the end, it depends on your definition of freedom. I think of freedom as more of a privilege. But if you see freedom as being able to do anything you wish, then to you there would be no true freedom.

Free speech is a right. It has limits. You cannot threaten people. But if you believe they are wrong or sinning, they do not have a right to not be offended, as you are neither threatening them or harming them in any way.\n\nYou cannot punish peoples' thoughts and still be a free nation. \n\nYou have no right to deny others' speech merely because you don't like it. It is not harassment. You are equally free to ignore them or refute them. But if you curtail their rights by bringing government force against them, we've all lost.\n\nThat is a path that leads to oppression of all people.

Freedom of religion.\nFreedom of speech.\nFreedom of the press.\nFreedom to assemble peaceably.\nRight to petition the government for redress of grievance.\nFreedom to organize non-governmental entities.\nEqual justice under law, due process.\nUniversal suffrage -- right to vote.\nNo arbitrary imprisonment. I think lawyers call this habeas corpus, not sure.\nEquality of the sexes.\nLabor organizations.\nOther things.\nJust some few that I value highly, but some imply responsibility, too.

LOL!!\nChristinaity promotes love and peace and brotherhood of all humans, Islam promotes peace and love and equality of all humans, judism I guess promotes the same values.\nIf you are looking for a culprit for all those pointless wars search for material and political gains (petrolium, terrotrial gain, influence..etc). religions are perfectly innocent (although political leaders who wish to turn their citizens into angry morons who would sacrifice their money, lives and loved ones for the sake of making'em richer and more powerfull would love to convince you of the contrary.

I think equality and freedom are two very distinct and separate issues.  Every human being on this earth should have and know freedom.  Equality (as defined) can never be settled because there is always a person, a group or a mass that believe themselves to be superior.  So, in a perfect world, all people would be free to be themselves and do their best and equal to each other simply by being Human Beings.

mostly the women r happy..if some r not they have the right to raise thier voices thats why thier voices make an image that all the women are not happy in pakistan....off course one who is happy has no need to go to any forum for announcing her happiness..... but the ones who r not happy using the complete liberty and extra ordinary rights which islam gives them rise thier voices.....some uneducated persons don't follow the rules given to them by the rellegion they follow but thats a matter of personal following and in general the culture of this area of world gives the most nice and more than equal rights to women.

HERE IS A SURVERY FROM FREEDOM HOUSE THAT SHOULD ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.....\n\n\nMorocco is a country undergoing positive changes towards economic and political liberalization in particular more recently under the leadership of King Mohammad VI who ascended to the throne in 1999. Morocco is a traditional, hereditary monarchy with a limited parliamentary system. NGOs advocating on behalf of women’s rights are generally free to organize, plan conferences, seminars...\n\nNondiscrimination and Access to Justice: \n\nMorocco’s legal system is based on the Maliki School of jurisprudence under Islamic law and the civil law systems of both France and Spain. According to the constitution, women are afforded equal political rights as men however there is no statement of equal civil rights. There are measures taken to advance the status of Moroccan women such as the creation of a ministry responsible just for reviewing the status of women. For Muslim citizens, family courts adjudicate over issues of marriage, divorce, inheritance, child custody, etc. which are partial to men’s rights. In addition, Moroccan women can neither pass on citizenship to foreign-born husbands nor to the children of their foreign-born husbands except under special circumstances. New laws enacted have generally promoted the interests of women under the penal code. Cases of adultery, abuse, violence and are punishable equally for men and women but young women are prosecuted for pregnancy out of wedlock, Witness/testimony of a woman is still not equal to that of a man and while Morocco passed CEDAW, it did adopt reservations to certain articles.\n\nAutonomy, Security and Freedom of the Person: \n\nWhile the majority of people in Morocco are Muslim, there are small Christian and Jewish minorities who are free to practice their religions. Muslims who choose to convert other religions encounter social ostracism and it is unlawful for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim husband. Laws preventing women from traveling independently or obtaining a passport have been repealed however in practice government officials may still request young girls and married women to produce consent from fathers or husbands.\n\nA progressive step towards gender equality within the family was an amendment to the CSP stating that women and men shared joint responsibility over the family and family matters with rights and duties of both spouses without discrimination; raising the marriage age for girls from 15 to 18 years is another example of policies adopted to gradually improve the status of women. Women are now offered the option of consensual divorce and divorce due to irreconcilable differences.\n\nThey are still at a disadvantage in custody cases and the trafficking of young women whether Moroccan or African is a serious problem for the country. Underage employment remains a common element of Moroccan society where young girls between the ages of 10 to 12 are hired as domestic servants although the legal employment age was raised from 12 to 15 in 2002.\n\nWomen continue to suffer from violence and harassment within the family and in public and better measures should be taken to prosecute such offences.\n\nEconomic Rights and Equal Opportunity: \n\nDiscrimination against women in the Moroccan economy is a factor holding back gender equality. A lack of access to equal economic rights is generally more common amongst the rural population than the urbanized segments of society due to lack of literacy and knowledge about rights, however apply to all women when it comes to inheritance laws which still distribute property according to Islamic law. Moroccan women are legally entitled to freely and independently dispose of the incomes they generate and property inherited. Women-owned businesses represent a tiny fraction of female labor participation; those in business tend to rely on personal funds or family capital to start-up and are unwilling or uninformed about access to credit resource

if "women rights" in your opinion is when a woman gets money for showing her body as a tool for advertisment and being so cheap ... then no, we muslims have no women rights\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUNLESS you mean women right to go work in a safe working condition and having the right to vote then yes we have women rights since 1400 yrs ago up to this minute.\n\n\n\nabout the retards husbands that treats their wives badly we can find those retards in any religon and not only Islam.\n\n\n\n\n\nProphet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of God be upon him) said: "Treat women well and be kind to them; they are your partners and committed helpers\n\n\n\n\nProphet Muhammad(PBUH) said: "Only an honorable man treat women with honor and integrity. And only a mean, deceitful and dishonest man humiliates and insults women." Referring to physical abuse, he added: "Never hit your wives, they are your partners and sincere helpers." He exemplified this by never, ever, hitting a women or child. The Prophet guaranteed protection of the life, honor, and property of women.

I think above of all, global brotherhood among the muslims and the non muslims is the most important aspect in the present world. because everybody in this world beyond religious or political differences want to and has a right to live in peace.

Yes, Islam teachings cleared this idea and showed the quality between people.\n\nand for those who are saying there's no equality between man and woman in Islam, then they know nothing about Islam except what they are seeing in TV from the bad media of their own countires, and by the way women can drive in all the muslim countries except Saudia Arabia ONLY, and they got there reasons that i dont want to go through.\n\nIslam also made equality with men and women, the thing that we differ from that Islam taught us how to take care of women and let them wear proper clothing for one goal which Islam wanted is to protect them from rape and sexual harrasment that happens hundreds of times a day in different countries, as muslims we took direct teachings from Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) to treat women just like treating glass, handle with care ;), because he knew how sensitive women are and complicated, therefore we should not break their hearts.\n\nIslam is great from this aspect of equality, even Martin Luther King was impressed by equality of Islam, when civil wars was on between black and white in the US here in Islam black and white were living as brothers up to this day.\n\nsomething that made me proud actually how in every year in HAJ pilgrims from rich and poor , black and white gather for praying for one God beside each other and hand by hand.

I think it is because we have been taught that Islam is a religion that believes in violence against all non-islamics and does not give rights to women.\n\nCorrect me if I am wrong but that is what we have been taught.

Regarding Violence in Islam, check the 1st link attached.\n(Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loves not transgressors. And kill them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, kill them. Such is the reward of those who reject faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. The prohibited month, for the prohibited month, and so for all things prohibited, there is the law of equality. If then any one transgresses the prohibition against you, transgress ye likewise against him. But fear Allah, and know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.) (Al-Baqarah 2: 190-194)\n\nFor other issues, it's true some verses replace others. But as far as I know they're few and the aim of this is to get the legislation step by step so people can realize it. The 2nd link discuss it but it's in Arabic.
