Does Islam oppress women or Christianity?



Does Islam oppress women?

No. On the contrary, Islam elevated the status of women 1,400 years ago by giving them the right to divorce, the right to have financial independence and support and the right to be identified as dignified women (Hijab) when in the rest of the world, including Europe, women had no such rights.
- Women in Islam are allowed to have their own businesses
- Islam is the first religion to document the rights of women to inherit properties
- Islamic countries have the women head of before states before USA - remember Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan and Hasina in Bagladesh. 


Women are equal to men in all acts of piety (Quran 33:32). Islam allows women to keep their maiden name after marriage, their earned money and spend it as they wish, and ask men to be their protector as women on the street can be molested. 


Prophet Muhammad (saw) told Muslim men, "the best among you is the one who is best to his family." Not Islam, but some Muslim men, do oppress women today. This is because of their cultural habits or their ignorance about their religion. 


Female Genital Mutilations has nothing to do with Islam. It is a pre Islamic African Custom, practiced by non Muslims including coptic Christians as well.


The only religious book that has a complete chapter named and dedicated to "Women" is the Quoran/Koran. Women in Islam have a choice to work or otherwise - while it is compulsory for men (husbands, brothers, fathers, etc) to look after their welfare.


**** Muslim Women HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN CHRISTIAN WOMEN ****
**** Compare the Bible and Quran ****
1. The Bible Convicts Women as the original Sinners (ie. Eve picking from the forbidden tree){Genesis 2:4-3:24}.
The Quran Clarifies it was Adam Not Eve {Quran 7:19-25}


2. The Bible says "The Birth of a Daughter is a loss" {Ecclesiasticus 22:3}.
The Quran says both are an Equal Blessing { Quran 42:49}


3. The Bible forbids women from speaking in church {I Corinthians 14:34-35}.
The Quran says women can argue with the Prophet {58:1}


4. In the Bible, divorced Women are Labeled as an Adulteress, not men {Matthew 5:31-32}
The Quran does Not have Biblical double standards{ Quran 30:21}


5. In The Bible, widows and sisters do not inherit Any property or wealth, only men do {Numbers 27:1-11}
The Koran abolished this male greed { Quran 4:22} and God protects all.


6. The Bible Allows Multiple Wives {I Kings 11:3}
In The Quran , God limits the number to 4 only under certain situations (with the wife's permission)and prefers you marry only one wife { Quran 4:3} The Koran gives the woman the right to choose who to marry.


7. "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives" {Deuteronomy 22:28-30}


One must ask a simple question here, who is really punished, the man who raped the woman or the woman who was raped? According to the Bible, you have to spend the rest of your life with the man who raped you.


The Prophet Muhammad Says {Volume 9, Book 86, Number 101} Narrated by Aisha:"It is essential to have the consent of a virgin (for the marriage)".


Would the Non-Muslim men reading this prefer the Women they know to be Christian or Muslim?


8. The Bible also asks women to wear veils as in Islam {I Corinthians 11:3-10}
9. Women were given rights to Vote less than a 100 years ago in the (US), while the Quran gave women voting rights almost 1,500 years ago.


In a truly Islamic society women have the following rights in Islam:
1. The right and duty to obtain education.
2. The right to have their own independent property.
3. The right to work to earn money if they need it or want it.
4. Equality of reward for equal deeds.
5. The right to express their opinion and be heard.
6. The right to provisions from the husband for all her needs and more.
7. The right to negotiate marriage terms of her choice.
8. The right to obtain divorce from her husband, even on the grounds that she simply can't stand him. (pls note that God deeply frowns upon divorce as a solution unless there is hardly any other alternative but it does not mean that men have more right to divorce their wives than women do.)
9. The right to keep all her own money (she is not responsible to maintain any relations).
10. The right to get sexual satisfaction from her husband.
11. custody of their children after divorce.
12. to refuse any marriage that does not please them
