We talked in class about the Quran and how Muhammad had been an advocate for women's rights. Then after reading the pamphlet handed to us, i saw verses that really oppressed women. I know that maybe that was not the intentions of the Quran but i think that's why people call Islam out to be an oppressive religion. The verses in the Q'uran it self is hard on women and i think this makes some of the men do what they want because it is inscribed in the Quran. This is same with the bible, there are texts in Ephesians which asks women to be obedient and submissive to their husbands and not the other way round. What i think should be done is, the books be re-written and the oppressive words/statements taken out of them. What do you think?
