Ghada Jamshir on Women's Rights in Islam [video=youtube;-_FxZ3l17PQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_FxZ3l17PQ&p=FAAFC0663A3B88FD&playnext=1&index=2[/video] Watch the video as she clearly indicate that women in the gulf have reached a "breaking point" She discusses very sensitive areas of Islam - Sharia Law, Mut'ah marriage, Misyar Marriage & Child marriage. The host obviously got nothing to say and continuously tries to jump from one reason to the other. Again, I wish to see more Muslim women stand up for their rights May God Bless you all
A quick transcript of the video. There must be countless examples but are definitely buried in the dark islamic history. What do you think? This is the first time someone is harrasing women in Islam for this woman to take note and stand up? There are many such examples, only the mullas should let you listen to them. Taslima Nasrin is another seriously ferocious example.
I don't hear of many getting stoned; more sent to jail. Or bashed. Or whipped. Or spat at.... Luke - it isn't just that they're stupid, while some wont use their brains and some are brainwashed, many are afraid. Being a woman in Islam is almost as bad as being a gay in Islam >.<' PS - Thanks for the transcript Alevoor. What a fucking BRILLIANT woman - I'm guessing the Muslims would disagree. I'd love it if she ended up on our forum and Awins/Menj left ^-^;
I agree. Notice how she phrased her question to the host "And you people tell me that Islamic Sharia authorizes this" ? We all know that of course it authorizes this but I felt that she was actually challenging her own laws and religion. They are simply not using their brains because whether they believe in God or not, there is no way God would allow Misyar marriage (I would say equivalent of adultery) and child marriage to even exist. I cannot understand how would some Muslim parents simply hand their innocent, pure daughter to a fourty year old man. What kind of a religion would do that to adults who are supposed to give their children guidance and show them support throughout their life? You guessed right. They accused her of heresy.
Not some muslim parents. I am guessing that they are in majority. btw, what is this pure daughter business? Why don't you say everyone is as pure as the other is, except when they are not the barbaric muslims? Thank you Alexis. I am guessing a step more because I am closer to reality (Pakistan) than you are. lol. Some mulla might issue a fatwa in her name. She is definitely a welcome figure here. If you ask me, people like awins and menj must be banned from this world. But it's because of pseudos like them that we come together. The more of them, better the opinion that evolves.
Hats off to this women I wish that all Muslim women should do same and raise their voice against injustice carried on in the name of Islam. Hope this post will encourage many Muslim girls.
Frankly, it's you who hardly has rights to raise the points you feel against being a person condemned to believe islam. Don't you ever feel indoctrinated and lost freedom when it comes to personal issues like raising your children and supporting family in a way you would all like? It can't be indoctrination, you are gagged out of fear. You can't raise voice against your father when he divorces your mother regardless of her health and financial condition. Islam lets her die on the streets after the initial alimony ends in 3 months. You have no rights but we have.
