Muslim societies should give up their outdated Islamic beliefs which do discriminate against women. Nowadays, the same laws should be applied equally for men and women; and women should be treated equally to men. Women should be able to legally own or inherit land, marry or divorce freely whom they wish, travel and socialize freely as they wish, women's testimonies in court should be equal to that of men's testimonies in court, the same amount of public funds should be spent to educate women as is done to educate men. Women should have the same job opportunities and equal pay as their male counterparts. I would like to see more female police, soldiers, government officials and high court judges. I trust women nowadays to do jobs that were traditionally done by men. I have voted for many women to serve as judges or public school board officials. I have also voted for a female U.S. Senate candidate. A U.S. senator is the most powerful legislative branch government official in my country. I have a female doctor whom I trust to examine my whole body. I trust women nowadays to do jobs that used to be done predominantly by men. Women need to be more trusted nowadays to help men rule the world, and men should equally share wealth and power with women. I believe that Islamic law prohibits women from having all the same social, political and economic rights as do men. 

The following are some of the verses from the Quran that do discriminate against women: (1) The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females (Qur'an 4:11), (2) Men are managers of the affairs of women because Allah has made the one superior to the other (Qur'an 4:34), (3) ... and call in to witness from among your men two witnesses; but if there are not two men, then one man and two women from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may remind the other; and the witnesses should not refuse when they are summoned ...(Qur'an 2:82). Women and men do have equal economic, legal and social status in our wealthy and powerful nation; because we reject these laws and teachings from the Quran.

The problem is not Islam itself. One of the big problems are the Salafites. This muslim branch, which founded all these terrorist groups known as Al-Qaida, Taliban, Abu Sayyaf (Philippines) etc. They are the ones spreading terror and violence and use the Quran for their sick beliefs, which have nothing to do with the Quran. For example, in the german city of Cologne a Salafist said last December, that everyone who celebrates Christmas will burn in Hell. But if he would have read the Quran, he would know that Jesus is one of the most important prophets in Islam and much honored by all real muslims. And then they also would know, that without Israel and Judaism, Christianity and Islam would not exist and so they would befriend with the jews, instead of fighting them all the time. Another problem I see in all industrial countries, no matter which country. They always invade other countries, to make money with their weapons and ammo, by the cost of the peoples blood. Who gave the Taliban the weapons and training during the 80s? USA. Who is fighting the Taliban today? USA. They made much money with that. Russia also. Even Germany. All the big industrial non-muslim countries. If you look into history, it was also the fault of England that the war in Israel and Palestine began and still did not ended today. It was neither the fault of Judaism or Islam. But also some muslim countries earn money by the weapon industry as well. It is not the people themself. It is the politicians and big industry bosses. Religion is nothing more than the excuse for the hellish things they are doing. They are no real believers to me. If they would be, they would fear Jahwe (Allah) and won't do these things.

you must first understand Islam in fact, do not judge a problem before you know it, because you understand your own mind. do not ever read and interpret it yourself. because you are not a Muslim, you should ask the Muslims actually not liberals. because Islam is not necessarily all of them Muslim, so you must first understand how the religion of Islam was the truth, then just be judging.
you just a bit of reading about the AL-qura'an, and even then you understand it comes from the people themselves are not muslims,

sorry if my english is not good.
thank you, it's my opinion.

First and foremost, I would like to thank you Ivansomeren. I hope your efforts are fruitful. You are the Noble American whom I love to see.

Second, I agree with chinafan 100%. And by the way guys, whether you believe it or not, I critisize some Muslims more than Christians or Jewish. I also (I don't want to say hate, but I will use it) hate George w. Bush as mush as I hate Nasser ( The second president of Egypt). And I loooove President Bill Clinton as mush I loooove President Sadat ( Egyptian president; the one before Mubarak). We don't hate Americans or christians. How come I hate christians. They've aided Master Muhammed. How come someone helps our beloved and we response by hatred? How?

Third, Guys, I want to say something, and since I am Egyptian, and as all of you know, the 2nd world war also affected  some parts of Egypt. I went to the Grave of German, British soldiers who died there. Guys, they were really young. Ranging from 20-26. All of them are young. and what was the politicians doing at that time? Drinking, eating, probably playing golf and surely having... aaa.. ahem you know.

Believe me these politicians; all of them sit on whatever tables and they talk and laugh and make more money. Did George bush care about the young American soldiers who were killed in Iraq or afgahnistan? I don't think so. He's probaly somewhere now drinking, eating and living his life to the fullest. To tell you the truth guys, we should start by investigating the truth by ourselves. We should really stop listening to our politicians. I don't trust our politicians  in Egypt at all by the way. They don't care about us guys. All the politicans of the world don't care about the people. It's business.
