What would Muhammad (PBUH) think of Islam today? The bombings. The murdering of innocents. The slaughtering of our own children? What about his wives? Would they accept the segregation? Would they take kindly to being told to pray in the back of the Mosque and remain quiet? No.
We as women are oppressed in Islam. Yeah. I said it. But it's not the religion. It's the people practicing it. It's culture. We have culture issues in Islam! The Qu'ran doesn't tell us to walk behind our husbands or remain silent! The Qu'ran tells women we are equal in EVERY WAY! Women can do as a man does and men can do as a woman does. Allah (SWT) made it that way and His way is perfect. We shouldn't change or question it.
I know I may get backlash from this but darnit I'm sick of all this crap about "women should be uneducated and quiet".
NO! Ladies, to be uneducated means we can't read. So we can't teach our girls to read. The Qu'ran says we are not to be oppressed and put down! If you're a woman reading this than you are LUCKY! Many muslimahs can't read because their culture says they should be killed or just banned. THAT'S NOT THE ISLAMIC WAY! It may be the ISLAMIST way but not the ISLAMIC way.
