Another special from the Islamic book of behaviour

Don't confuse the action of government involvement as Islamic rule on a topic. Yes it is not "okay" that a woman sit with a male but being thrown in jail? Err no. That is something between herself, her husband, and importantly God. Not some jail warden. Islam demands respect for a woman. What do you think the headscarf (hijab) is? It is so that she is seen as a person by men not some object. It is a sign of modesty. It isnt some rule thrust upon women. Even the topic of spousal abuse... absolutely never is it okay for a husband to lay his hand on his wife, imagine that in Islam it is said to be okay if he hits her with a straw a single stray and with the condition it is not to hurt her leave marks on her! A wife has the right to leave her husband if he can not have children it isnt just a right for the man. A woman has the right to get an education and a job and do everything and anything that a man is allowed. Muslim countries or Muslims that say it is wrong are just furthering their own agendas and are living in the past. If a husband is unfaithful she has a right to leave his --- ahem... =P Islam gives many rights to women it's just that people who claim to enforce Islamic laws do so incorrectly and care not about the true essence of Islam.

yes i think the people who believe such teachings that they learn from this book should have the sense that this is not right, I don't care how many generations they have been fed this rubbish, people are smart enough to know when men have obviously set their little world up to suit them selves and i say any woman who lets herself be treated less than any man is a fool...thats a man thing, made by men only for the benefit of men and has nothing to do with religion....lilaclady steps off her soapbox..
