Does Islam degrade women?

man and woman

 The most common claim that Islam's haters always made use of is that Islam mistreats, degrades women and gives more rights to men over them. And that women in Islamic countries are in desperate need of help and liberation from oppressive and conservative societies. Women are allegedly obliged to wear hijab and deprived of their right to study and work and the list of the like baseless claims goes very long.

 In this article, I will not dive deep into details to demonstrate that the reality is totally different, as did many others who have tackled this issue before me, but rather focus on two main points: Muslim women in western countries and the percentage of women among the newly converted Muslims. 

Muslim women in the western countries 

 If the aforementioned claims were valid, why do Muslim women in western countries not seek help and support that are available to them and within their easy reach then? In fact, the exact opposite happens. Muslim women across Europe, for example, are engaged in legal fights to access workplaces, schools, and universities with their hijab. A simple right, like the freedom to choose what to wear, is not available for Muslim women in some European countries such as France and Belgium. 

 The percentage of women among the newly converted Muslims.

 Albeit the fierce media campaign to distort Islam’s attitude towards women, statistics show that more than half of the new converts to Islam are females. For example, a new study that was published in the British newspaper ‘the independent’ shows that three-quarters (75 percent) of Britons who embrace Islam are young white females.

conclusion:

 The one million questions now are Why do Muslim women living in western countries stick to their hijab and risk losing their work or schools, and university seats? Why do females convert to Islam more than males? The answer to these questions is very simple. Islam does not mistreat women nor it degrade them as you were convinced by the hateful mass media. Then you should start reading about Islam from islamic sources before reading about it from haters' sources. Here is a link about women statues in Islam to start with.

What happened to a Christian lady after she had read the Quran?

 What happened to a Christian lady after she had read the Quran? Due to the enormous media campaign targeting Islam and Muslims and associating all the terrorist events to the Islamic background of the perpetrator rather than to his criminal record or mental health as is the case when the perpetrator is a white western person, most non-Muslims including Christians start hating or at least fearing Islam and its followers. As an expected consequence, ordinary people falsely believe that the Quran is full of hateful verses and encourages its readers to hate, attack, and even kill the non-believers. This has resulted in a wave of hate and racist attacks targeting Muslim minorities and Muslim immigrants all over western countries and it is getting bigger and bigger every day. However, media outlets are not the only factor to blame for this hate wave. The audience's laziness and their tendency to hate others based only on what they hear about them without any little effort to investigate
