Muslims respect their women.
GENEVA, June 14 (KUNA) -- Islamic member states of the United Nations Council for Human Rights (UNHCR) rejected on Friday paragraphs violating the Islamic law in the council's resolution on the elimination of all forms of violence against women, noting that the member states must make sure that their laws and national policies are consistent with the rejected demands.
The rejections include the paragraph, which gives women "the right to control matters concerning their sexual lives as well as their reproductive health without coercion, discrimination or violence." They also rejected the paragraph that allows performing judicial proceedings in cases of rape within marriage, the abolition of provisions that require the matching of certificates and allow the rapist to escape prosecution by marrying him to his victim as well as subduing victims of sexual violence to prosecution for moral crimes or slander.

I would assume if women were educated properly in muslim societies for over a thousand years... there probably would have been some sort of intervention or uprising against the treatment of their gender...
Or is it possible they are actually educated to believe they are second class citizens?

only the west thinks of them as 2nd class citizens
because of its own ridiculous parameters of equality of sexes.
Kuwait rejects the United Nations Statement on Violence Against Women because ... drumroll ... it goes against Islam.
Muslim women know they are women and have no overt need to compete with men for the sake of displaying "equality". equality is an attitude and not a show to rub it in a man's face!

the other is a DRAWING of a pretty muslim girl and the rather ironic fact that at some time in their past women were treated better than now.
there is a drawing because cameras weren't invented back then and a muslimah(muslim women) started a university about a 1000years before the west even realised the need for educating women.
A muslim scholar who has a religious school of thought by his name Abu Hanifa(Hanafi school of jurisprudence) is known by his daughter's name who was herself a scholar, Abu Hanifa(Father of Hanifa)
Ayesha r.a. Wife of Muhammad pbuh is considered the most learned scholar in religion and Caliph Umar r.a. asked her advice in matters of dispute.
The trend of high importance to women education continued till islam was followed how it should have been.
So muslims insist on going back to islamic fundamentals and teachings to solve the problems that affect the muslim world now.
Yep .. I'm sure you wish he had not started the thread because those who would 'be attracted' to this thread will come with facts and figures
Yes Islam really puts women first in there culture. They know how to treat their women with dignity and respect.... hmmmm lets see.....

You mean "facts" and "figures" as derived from worst case scenarios, as has been demonstrated in this thread?
I just don't stoop to that level of idiocy.
So ... the ENTIRE COUNTRY OF KUWAIT rejecting the United Nations 'No Violence Against Women' statement because it 'goes against Islam' is just a 'worst case scenario, eh
One in six women in Saudi Arabia is abused. That's not a small 'worst case scenario. That's a major portion of the female population.

Has your country accepted that UN statement of "No Violence Against Women"?
The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood have called on all Muslim countries to reject the U.N. draft document against violence against women. The group said in a statement posted on its website that the document contains articles that ''go against Islam and the Sunnah, which will ruin Muslim morality and destroy the family''
This declaration, if ratified, would lead to complete disintegration of society, and would certainly be the final step in the intellectual and cultural invasion of Muslim countries, eliminating the moral specificity that helps preserve cohesion of Islamic societies,” the Brotherhood’s statement claimed in an online statement on their official website.
The Brotherhood said the U.N. statement undermined Islamic ethics by calling for women to work, travel and use contraception without their husbands’ permission.
The group also denounced the statement’s call for sexual freedom, granting equal rights to homosexual people, and allowing wives full legal rights to take their husbands to court for marital rape.
They also rejected the paragraph that allows performing judicial proceedings in cases of rape within marriage, the abolition of provisions that require the matching of certificates and allow the rapist to escape prosecution by marrying him to his victim as well as subduing victims of sexual violence to prosecution for moral crimes or slander.
n rejecting a draft UN declaration calling for an end to violence against women, the organisation's blatant misogyny is exposed
1 in 6 women in the US are raped according to U.S. Department of Justice.
So get off your high horse and enroll yourself in some self defense classes.
The lesson is that anybody can use statistics to project anything about any people or group. So don't waste your time on this silliness.
Right... they "know their place" is basically what you just stated...
It seems muslim women in the east are
forced into a mothering homemaker
position... but what if its against their
will? What if a woman wants to compete
with a man for equality in the business
world... or any other male dominated
role in your society?
What if a woman chooses to be a
single mother in your society? Would it
be possible for said woman to take
care of herself and her child without a
man around? And free of persecution?
