Women are their own worst enemy

Women are their own worst enemy
http://apnews.excite.com/article/2012111...VIJ80.html

Quote:CAIRO (AP) - The rise of the Muslim Brotherhood to power in Egypt has brought with it a new group of female politicians who say they are determined to bring more women into leadership roles - and at the same time want to consecrate a deeply conservative Islamic vision for women in Egypt.

Once again - the prime role of religion is to oppress women...and make them like it!

RE: Women are their own worst enemy
The roles of men and women in Islam are not actually clearly defined in the Quran itself. That's why different Muslims see women's roles in different ways.

Some Muslims are conservative, others are liberal, and others fall somewhere between, although all claim that their views are based on Islam.

The Muslims of a more traditional (conservative) position believe that women’s leadership roles in Muslim societies should be restricted while, on the other hand, the Muslims of a liberal position say that the conservative position has no basis in Islam. And, in fact, Muslim women have held high positions in the office and they have been even prime ministers and heads of state in some of the key Muslim nations such as Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Turkey, for example.

Interesting. You do know the bible says something quite different....

Quote: Timothy 2:12: I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

Titus 2: Women must be discreet, chaste, home keepers, good, obedient to their husbands, so that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Peter 3: Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands.

Of course, no self respecting christian male that didn't also have a lot of money and a close personal relationship with a restorative dentist would ever repeat this...but, it's in the book.

RE: Women are their own worst enemy
Maybe your god expected more out of muslims, didn't figure he'd have to spell that one out?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So Moses was about to descend the mountain with god's sacred rules when he had a thought. He turned his head around, keeping his balance as to not drop a tablet, and asked "Let me get this straight, the Arabs get all the oil and we have to cut the ends off of 'what'?!?"

I know I wouldn't mind 'submitting' myself to a good husband... Skunk
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I'll keep this "good husband"s wife busy while you're submitting. Teamwork OP - nerf teamwork!

This is not really much different to say Anti-Abortion Evangelical Christian women who consider themselves feminists at the same time. Some of these women have become preachers in these churches. Those women female Muslim brotherhood politicians, either interpret in a different way or ignore their cherished religious texts have a lot of verses which state that women are inferior to men.

By the way the Old and New Testaments along with the Quran are about as bad as each other, when it comes to their view of women. Although as far as I know it in the Quran and the Hadiths, women aren't banned from preaching or teaching to men (like they are in the Pastoral epistles in the New Testament).

If I were a bible believing Christian, I would not be ashamed to advocate this sort of stuff, along with the forbidding women from any Christian ministry that allowed them to have authority over men (1 Timothy 2:12) . Then again I would be wondering wither or not conditions such as epilepsy were caused by demons.
