The asker has not the slightest interest in the welfare of women. If he did he'd be addressing the mountain of evidence against how Muslim women are treated, to wit
-Qur'an 33:59: "Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and all Muslim women to draw cloaks and veils all over their bodies (screening themselves completely except for one or two eyes to see the way). That will be better."
-Hadis number 789, volume 2, p.114: “An ***, a pig, a Jew, a Magian and a woman annuls a prayer.”
-Tabari I:280: “Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid.”
And those holy commands to abuse women is a reality, today, worldwide:
From the United Nations sponsored 2002 Arab Human Development Report (arab-hdr.org):
-The utilizationof Arab women’s capabilities through political and economic participation remains the lowest in the world
-About 65 million adult Arabs are illiterate, two thirds of them women
-The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) includes GEM (gender empowerment measurement) which reveals that women suffer “a glaring deficit” in women’s empowerment. Among regions of the world the Arab region ranks next to last as measured by GEM
-United Nations Report, 2002: "The report of the Special Rapporteur concerning cultural practices in the family that are violent towards women (E/CN.4/2002/83), indicated that honour killings had been reported in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Pakistan, the Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey, Yemen, and other Mediterranean and Persian Gulf countries, and that they had also taken place in western countries such as France, Germany and the United Kingdom, within migrant communities."
-2/6/04 asiapacific.amnestyinternational.org: Each year 2 million girls are subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM), mostly in Muslim countries.
-1/29/07 Daily Telegraph UK: 75% believe that women should wear veils.
The asker's purpose has nothing to do with women's rights. He's nothing more than another OWS America hater.
Were it not for the Internet we would never know about OWS and this type of...person.
