Hmmm. Since I have Muslim men friends and I know the culture a bit, I know that Muslim men want non-Muslim women only for sex and fun and companionship. Most, if not all, never intend to take the relationship anywhere past that. And any self respecting female, Muslim or non-Muslim, would not fall for you line of hooey. Oooh yeah, did I forget to mention how Muslim disrespect their women? I'm sure that's a big turn on too!

Yes but not like a woman can one right after the other.  Of course there are exceptions to everything and some men might.

Family, society and ultimately the whole of mankind is treated by Islam on an ethical basis. Differentiation in sex is neither a credit nor a drawback for the sexes. Therefore, when we talk about status of woman in Islam it should not lead us to think that Islam has no specific guidelines, limitations, responsibilities and obligations for men. What makes one valuable and respectable in the eyes of Allah, the Creator of mankind and the universe, is neither one's prosperity, position, intelligence, physical strength nor beauty, but only one's Allah-consciousness and awareness (taqwa). However, since in the Western culture and in cultures influenced by it, there exists a disparity between men and women there is more need for stating Islam's position on important issues in a clear way. \n\nDr. Jamal Badawi's essay, The Status of Women in Islam, was originally published in our quarterly journal, Al-lttihad, Vol. 8, No. 2, Sha'ban 1391/Sept 1971. Since then it has been one of our most-demanded publications. We thank Br. Jamal for permitting us to reprint his essay. We hope it will clarify many of the misconceptions.

It's interesting how Muslims deny or lack knowledge  about their own faith!!! if you trust the translations of any Quran, then you must accept for a fact that God has given permission to the husband as the last "option" to hit his wife!!! \nNow,  because I am a woman  and Muslim who like to use logic, I refused to accept that, because I know for a fact, God does not use force to get things done! In Islam Divorce is an acceptable option given by God. I found a verse in the same chapter that uses the same root word (zha-ra-ba), translated as hit, as a totally different meaning, Moving out! so the last option would be a divorce not hitting your wife!!!! there are many verses that has been mis-translated in the Quran and Muslims are stupid and ignorant to realize that! another example is chopping off the hands of a thief, taken literally and it has been practiced for years!!! Muslims are in big trouble facing their creator!

In the Qur'aan it says, "...then marry women of your choice, two or three or four, but if you fear that you will not deal with them equally then only one..." from the fourth surah(chapter), third verse. I've only given part of the verse cos its pretty long

Actually, Islamic law states that you may have more than one wife, provided you can take care of them all equally (monetarily and emotionally), whether that actually happens is another question. But under law, that is what is supposed to happen. In the US, it is against the law to do so, and people living in the state must recognize those laws and understand how it affects them.\n\nAs to your question, Muslim women enter these relationships apparently due to their beliefs in their religion, or perhaps due to pressure from other Muslims.

Muslim Americans and Mormons who have more than one wife are breaking the law.  It's called polygamy.  You are not being discriminated against.  You could have more than one wife, as well.  But you would be subject to arrest and conviction, just like them (if you were caught).

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.

If I had respected him before why would my opinion change? As long as all of his wives agreed and knew what they were getting into, and as long as he treated them all well and they felt emotionally happy, and as long as he supported them and gave them what they wanted and needed- then who am I to judge.  It happens much more often than we think.  \nIn some religions it is okay to have more than one wife--- even in Islam- -yet God warns in Islam "It is better for you to have only One wife... if only you knew."  My opinion of the man would not change.

one of the things you have to consider is the problem that muslums do not believe in women's rights, so therefore there would be a serious unrest in the middle east, and countries with women in power would not be able to have any foriegn relations with those countries, i don't know if the world could be anymore peacefull because of a gender difference, because women have always fought for more rights and freedom on the platform of equality, so if we are all equal there would not be a difference in peace, now if i didn't feel like taking this question seriously i would deffinently tell you NO WAY pms would ruin the world...lol, j/k

For a start, there is nothing in the Koran which says that women should hide their faces.\nAssertion arises from negation. Since all Muslims in the UK seem to be suspected as potential terrorists then more Muslims feel they should not be persecuted in this way and want to make a stand. 'Yes, I'm a Muslim'. Making laws against the Hijab, Niqab, Burkha and Chador will only exacerbate the problem. \nThis whole problem has to be cooled down. Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Christians have lived alongside each other in the UK for decades. Let's try to get back there. Forget the pre-conceived, ill-informed ideas and start talking. Only dialogue can solve this problem.

Oh, please! I mean this is all hogwash!!! The truth is that Mohammad didn't say such things. If he had said, he wouldn't help his wife with the housework!!! Actually, I know that there is a section in the Quran called "Nisa" which meant "The Women" which shows that Quran gives importance to women. And isn't the God same everywhere despite different religions? Would he choose a prophet who find women deficient?! Some sensibility, please!!! As I am a Turkish muslim, I find such ideas "Women are a bad omen." ridiculous and I can't even tolerate those who think in similar ways. Ignorant people make up these stories "Mohammed said: Women are bla bla..." Millions of muslims (at least the Turkish ones) are disturbed by these stories. Some ignorant (and muslim) countries introduce Islam wrongly. I am bored with it.

Even if Allah is male ,Muslim men should wear burqas.They should be ashamed of themselves of what they hav done to their womens.Four marriage allowed and a women is locked up in home ,thats absurd and uncivilised.\n\nIslam need to modernise
