Islam for Women or is it?

Huma, I am happy to hear that you don’t regret your decision. It’s easy for Americans to convert to Islam since they don’t live in the Islamic environment to understand what it’s really like to live as a muslim woman under Islamic rule. Also, I would like to correct you, about 75% of the 20,000 are women, which is still a very large number. I can understand why Islam attracts Westernized women who are fed up of the western wya of life and want to bring order/modesty into their lives, I can totally see that! BUT take any of these women to the Middle East or Pakistan, Afghanistan & Sudan and I would like to know how fast they switch back their old religion or become athiests. I have witnessed it but didn’t understand it until now.

Also, people turn to religion for many different reasons. There are millions of Christians who do not necessarily believe every aspect of New or Old testament but reguarly go to church because they feel closer to God there. The same could be said the way we perform prayers, you can say it’s kind of therapy. People who look for faith, find it. People who judge everything harshly may never find faith (like myself) because they can never make sense of things.

Stop confusing yourself. You have a problem with the culture and tradition of these countries, and how some women are treated in these countries.

If islam taught us to treat women this way, my dear, all muslim women, no matter where they live, in america or in afghanistan, would be treated that way.

So re-phrase ur question. Islam is the most beautiful religion for me as a woman, afghanistan however, is not the country for me.

Culture and religion are two different things. Are afghani men true muslims??? Are they 100% momins??? They think they’re going to heaven by blowing themselves up and killing innocent people… what do u expect from these people???

Plz stop confusing yourself and stop associating whatever the hell is happening in afghanistan (and such countries) to islam.
