The Female Mind Young. British. Female. Muslim. The Sunday Times, May 29, 2010 "While less than 2 per cent of the population now attends a Church of England service every week, the number of female converts to Islam is on the rise. At the London Central Mosque in Regent’s Park, women account for roughly two thirds of the 'New Muslims' who make their official declarations of faith there – and most of them are under the age of 30." Considering the low opinion that Allah and His Prophet have of the female mind, it is a mystery as to why they have so many supporters among young women, even those who should know better, feminists. “The Prophet said, ‘Isn’t the witness of a woman equal half that of a man?’ The women said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind." (Bukhari) Allah said: 2:282 O believers … If the debtor is feeble-minded or week or ignorant, then let his guardian dictate with fairness. And call to witness two witnesses of your men; if not two men, then one man and two women from such witnesses you approve of, so that if one of them (the two women) fails to remember, the other will remind her… Women would be well advised to look to heroes like those who lived before Islam came along an branded their sex as inferior*, heroes such Homer. "As the Phoenicians are the best sailors in the world, so their women excel all others in weaving, for Minerva has taught them all manner of useful arts, and they are very intelligent." Homer c. 8th century BCE -------------- * 2:228 Divorced women should keep away from men for three menstrual periods. And it is not lawful for them to conceal that which Allah has created in their wombs, if they truly believe in Allah and the Last Day. Their husbands have the right in the meantime to take them back, should they seek reconciliation; and women have rights equal to what is incumbent upon them according to what is just, although men are one degree above them. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
