The Rights of Women in Islam

In order to improve the public understanding of Islam among the ignorant British public, taxpayer-funded Muslim organizations in the UK last summer launched a campaign called “Inspired by Muhammad” on buses and tube trains. Actually this campaign is not to inform but to counter what the majority of Britons think about Islam and Muslims.

  1. Blasphemy charge against 15 year old girl in Britainistan

    Girl, 15, arrested over 'Facebook Koran burning video'

    A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of inciting religious hatred after allegedly burning an English language version of the Koran.

    The 15-year-old, who lives in the West Midlands, allegedly posted the video, filmed two weeks ago on her school premises, on Facebook.

    The video was reported to the school and subsequently removed, police said.

    A 14-year-old boy was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of making threats. Both have been released on police bail.

    It is thought the girl, who lives in the Sandwell Council area, was allegedly filmed setting the booklet alight while other pupils watched.

    Two Facebook profiles have also been removed from the site, police added.

    It is understood that the group who published that version of the Koran have since been to the school to talk to pupils.
    'Sacred thing'

    Catherine Heseltine, chief executive officer of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee, said burning the Koran was one of the most offensive acts to Muslims that she could imagine.

    She said: "The Koran is the most sacred thing to over a billion Muslims worldwide."

    "You can see that in the way Muslims treat the Koran, washing before touching it and in many Muslim homes you will find it on the top shelf above all other books and we will never destroy the Koranic texts."

    "We believe it is the word of God. God's guidance for us in this life," she added.

    Bob Badham, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council cabinet member for education, said he had visited the school and believed the atmosphere was generally good among pupils.

    He added that he did not believe there was a "deeper problem" in the area.

  3. So did Muhammad.

    ROTFLMAO

    In that case you will no doubt be demonstrating for education and work rights for muslimas wheresoever they may be found, eh?
    And ensuring their testimony in court is equal before the law, eh?

  4. Back when I was in college (1968-1972), some idiots, Muslim reverts, were running around shilling for Islam. They proclaimed: "Islam respects women's rights."

    Crap. All of us being hailed by these idiots told them they were full of shit. We didn't know much about Islam back then, but we DID know about the misogyny therein.
