It is really amusing to see patheric ignorants and islamophobes coming here spitting their vomit under the disguise of rational debate !! it is really sickning.
Women are not considered inferior according to Islam, before you through accusations, you have to be BRAVE enough to back them up with proofs from the Quran, but since you are patheic LIAR and HATER, nothing of that sort is expected from you.
Name me one American president or even vice-president who happend to be woman ??????????????????
Now, the president of the LARGEST muslim country in the world is MUSLIM WOMAN, president megawati of Indonesia.
in 1991, when MRS. BENAZIR BUTUE was the PRIME MINISTER of Pakistan, one fo the typical ignorant anchors of the CNN declared that Muslim women have no rights to vote !!!!!!!!
PATHETIC.
For your reference, here is a story of a woman in Pakistan who was raped by her brother-in-law, and is imprisoned on death-row for "her" crime:
In Pakistan, Rape Victims Are the 'Criminals'. This is disgusting beyond belief.
What a joke, an obscure site from geocities is your reference !!
GET A LIFE and GIVE UP THE HATE and LOOK AT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR OWN WOMEN IN THE STATES:
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES
MURDER :
Every day four women die in the U.S. as a result of domestic violence , The number of women who have been murdered by their intimate partners is greater than the number of soldiers killed in the Vietnam War.
BATTERING:
Although only 572,000 reports of assault by intimates are officially reported to federal officials each year, the most conservative estimates indicate
two to four million women of all races and classes are battered each year. At least 170,000 of those violent incidents are serious enough to require hospitalization, emergency room care or a doctor's attention.
SEXUAL ASSAULT :
Every year approximately 132,000 women report that they have been victims of rape or attempted rape, and more than half of them knew their attackers.
It's estimated that two to six times that many women are raped, but do not report it. Every year 1.2 million women are forcibly raped by their current or former male partners, some more than once.
