i am providing two articles here - one offers an excellent (if long) discussion of Islam and women. (The article is a year old, but i still found it an extremely informative, useful read). Reading the second article subsequent to the first one, provides a telling contrast between what Islam says, and some Muslims do.
i am not implying all Muslims or Pakistanis are this way (second article), so please no one misinterpret me or get angry with me. :flower1: Thanks in advance.
