Question about female worth in islam.

[Nineteen]

You know what? A lot of women do want to work and do work.

In the western world the emancipation of women has progressed centuries ahead of that in the Islamic world, to the point where a woman can lead a state and dictate international affairs on an equal footing to her male counterparts.

Can you imagine a female leader of an Islamic state? What about a leading female cleric? Indeed, perhaps the most dominant section of western society that isn't emancipated are the religious entities that still dominate some sections of society (eg Catholic Church).

I think your comment that women "don't have to work" is actually an insult to those who do and do it bloody well, like my fiancé, who is developing antibioitics that will hopefully one day save millions of lives.

If she were born in an Islamic state, she would have and will achieve nothing her entire life except to spawn more humans and obey her husband.

You're just trying to understand it the way which you want to understand . Islam doesnt prohibit women to work . Islam does not require women to work . A lot of women do want work and work in muslim countries too . The primary mission of women is their children . This is essential for healthy child development and a strong family structure .

You will find muslim female government officials if you examine the history of Muslim countries . Actually I dont want to discuss about "government policies" and "how they live their life" . This doesnt bind the essence of Islam . But I can discuss about Quran and what Allah want people to do .
