In the next few posts, I will tackle many social ills in Egypt and will show you how they are related to the teaching of Muhammad. Today, I will speak about the inhumane treatment of Muslim women in Egypt. Did you know the following facts?
1. Egyptian Muslim women can not have marriage contracts with men on their own since they have to have male guardians (i.e. father/uncle/ brother) signing for them
2. Their testimony is not acknowledged in court if they contradict the testimonies of men
3. They are not allowed to have the custody of their children once they reach the age of 12
4. They are not allowed to have military jobs
5. They are not allowed to run for presidents (Nawal el Saadawy tried and they did not let her)
6. They are not allowed to marry men of other faiths
7. They are not allowed to remarry within 3 months of their divorce
8. They are not allowed to become police officers (exceptions are in tourism police)
9. They are not allowed to pray in the main halls of mosques- they do pray in the gardens of mosques though!
10. They can not leave the country without the permission of their husbands
11. They do not have the right to know if their husbands married other women
12. If they decided not to have sex with their husbands, Allah will send his angels to punish them, but if men decided not to have sex with their women, they are encouraged to do that because this is a form of discipline
13. They are forced to wear hegab (head cover) in many Egyptian ministries (e.g awkaf)
14. They can only get a divorce if their husbands approve and their husbands can place them in a house of obedience (beet el taaah) if they feel that they are rebellious. If these women refuse to go to these houses they are called “nashez,” or pariah. (there is a new law that allow women to seek divorce but it is very difficult to implement it)
15. Egyptian Muslim women get half of the inheritance of their brothers (Christians imitate this sick tradition)
These conditions are based on the sick teaching of Muhammad who called women “deficient in their beliefs and their minds.” This is the same pervert who said that most hell dwellers are women. What do you expect? His teachings are translated into Muslim women’s oppression. Please see
this post for more information on how muhammad viewed women
Every time I meet a Muslim woman, I want to scream at her face and say: “Cannot you see how your prophet failed you and helped create a sick society that abuses and oppresses you? Can you take off this head cover, which is a sign of your own slavery, humiliation and submission? When the hell are you going to wake up? You constitute half of Egypt’s society and your submission is a sign of this society’s devastation.
You know you can add to this terrible list if you wish, and you can mention some of the travesties against Muslim women in freaken Saudi Arabia (i.e. they are not allowed to vote or drive a car or travel in the streets alone.”
