I'll ask again:

AND
Are females of lesser value than males to Allah?
Then, square the answer with relevant references to the Koran.
My opinion of Islam is that it's intolerant and primitive, chauvanistic and aggressive. It's a dangerous cult that celebrates death.
Until it is reformed fundamentally and respects the rights of individuals, it must be seen as at least as inimical to human progress as any other backward-looking, bigoted and sociopathic 'ism' we've ever had to fight against. |
1.No...Think about it this way, your a citizen of the strongest and richest nation on earth, if god had declared you inferior to muslims, wouldn't muslims be the most powerful and wealthiest nation in the world? God see's all mankind as equals, mankind is incapable of doing that however. If you read the Quran you will not find anywhere were god says muslims are superior people, you'll see god telling Muhammed to be wary of other people, not to listen to some people, ot to form alliances with others, all in context of what was happening in his life when those verses where revealed.
Inequality is what mankind has made, it happens all the time, we fight one kind and discover another. Typical example shia-sunni bullsh!t, why do they fight, over a political decision made 1400 years ago over who was going to take over after Muhammed died. God never decreed who should take over in the Quran.
2.No they are not. One reason i can say that is that depsite all the bullcr4p western women still turn to Islam, because they see it's real potential. Note women are oppressed in poor backward countries, muslim or otherwise. Only today in the western world are we seeing the full potential of the woman.
Common misconception about mistreatement of women in Islam are the way women have to dress, that is also ordered of men, to dress humbly. Women in Indonesia will see that differently to those in Saudi to those in south Africa to those in the balkans. It's dependent entirely on local culture. again the mistreatment is entirely a case of local culture and backwardness, just today they have islam as an excuse rather than blaming other things.
honour killings...women killed for the honour of a man, not because god asked for it, or demanded it or prescribed it.
