Current statistics underscore the significant improvement and the remarkable expansion of educational opportunities at all levels for Arab women in the last two decades. A new born girl in the Arab world today has much better chance than her mother to attend school and finish college. Arab governments are committed and determined to augment educational opportunities and to make them accessible to all eligible women. It is firmly believed that without emancipating women from the bondage of illiteracy no real political, social or economic development can take place.
Many Arab women already have distinguished themselves as poets, novelists, teachers, physicians, chemists, physicists, engineers, doctors, judges, lawyers, journalists, and Cabinet members.
Female genital mutilation is still practised in certain pockets of Africa and Egypt, but viewed as an inconceivable horror by the vast majority of Muslims.Plus its cultural not religious. Forced marriages may still take place in certain Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, but would be anathema to Muslim women from other backgrounds. A woman forbidden from driving a car in Riyadh will cheerfully take the wheel when abroad, confident that her country's bizarre law has nothing to do with Islam. Afghan women educated before the Taliban rule know that banning girls from school is forbidden in Islam, which encourages all Muslims to seek knowledge from cradle to grave, from every source possible.
Yes, i agree der r places like afganistan,iraq etc where women are abused and their rights r snatched away 4m em but dat doesnt happen everywhere. my rites r not taken away 4m me nor kids n women r being abused here.
women have the right to own property, to choose their own partners, and have equal rights to education. In accordance with prevailing culture, these rights became transformed into the duties of women to take care of children and remain in the house. This is not all that different than a century ago in America where women were expected the duties of "Republican Motherhood," which did not take them beyond the household sphere.
It is not Muslim women as such, but women everywhere who have been imprisoned by prejudice and cruelty.

I need a source to learn about Syria civil war?
Chester b
I consider myself a very knowledgable guy and I try to stay current with world news, but I have had an extremely hard time when it comes to what's going on in Syria. I have read some conflicting articles and I realize every news source has its bias. I just want to know what's really going on. Thank you in advance.
Answer
The current conflict in Syria has nothing to do with "freedom" or "democracy", it is driven entirely by the geopolitical aspirations of the United States and its middle eastern allies.
The US has wanted to overthrow the Syrian government for a long time, and not because of any "humanitarian" concerns, but because of Syria's opposition to American regional interests, its long-time hostility towards the apartheid state of Israel, its support for resistance movements in Palestine and Lebanon, and its alliance with major geopolitical enemies of the US, such as Russia, China and Iran. By destroying Syria the US hopes to break apart the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah axis and get closer to establishing total hegemony in the middle east.
America's regional allies, namely the totalitarian Sunni monarchies of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, are diametrically opposed to the Shia-led governments of Syria and Iran, and want to destroy them not only for political reasons but also to spread their own influence by exporting their brand of extreme religious ideology (wahhabism).
The US government has admittedly made plans decades ago to carry out regime change in Syria. In fact, it is documented that the US government has given money and weapons to sectarian anti-government terrorists in Syria and provided training to so-called Syrian "activists" BEFORE the start of the current "uprising".

The so-called "Free Syrian Army" are nothing but a collection of Sunni extremists and Islamist militants from all over the middle east hired to fight as a proxy army on behalf of the United States, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and to accomplish their geopolitical goals. The majority of the FSA are not Syrians; most come from Afghanistan, Chechnya, Libya, the Gulf states, Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and elsewhere. Many of them are jihadists and terrorists directly linked to Al-Qaeda and other salafi terror groups, including Jabhat al-Nusra (Al-Qaeda in Syria) and the Muslim Brotherhood.
These terrorist groups, which later named themselves the "Free Syrian Army", are the ones who have been causing the violence in Syria since the very beginning. In April 2011 there was a peaceful protest movement calling for reforms within the government, but it was quickly hijacked by the FSA and turned into a violent insurgency. The FSA do not care about freedom, democracy or reforms. It was their goal from the beginning to hijack the legitimate Syrian opposition and start a civil war. They are terrorists motivated solely by sectarian hatred, and they have openly expressed their desire to establish an Islamic state in Syria.
For the past year and a half Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been supplying them with money, weapons and fighters. In April 2011 journalists witnessed armed militants crossing into Syria across the Lebanese border. Every day Syrian security forces find foreign passports on dead FSA fighters as well as shipments of foreign equipment and advanced weaponry in FSA stockpiles.
In the first weeks of the "peaceful uprising", terrorists began murdering dozens of Syrian soldiers, mercenary snipers shot civilians and security forces in cities, armed men provoked violence by shooting at policemen from inside crowds, and Saudi-funded extremist preachers in Mosques incited uneducated Sunni youths to riot, burn police stations and commit sectarian violence, forcing the hand of the Syrian government into what the western media has called a "crackdown".
Since then the "Free Syrian Army" terrorists have killed at least 20,000 people, and have kidnapped and tortured thousands more. They are blowing up government buildings, sabotaging infrastructure, setting off car bombs in residential areas, destroying and terrorizing neighborhoods, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee their homes, destroying mosques and churches, committing massacres, murdering anyone whom they suspect of supporting the government, or anyone who has different beliefs than them (Alawites, Christians, Shiites and moderate Sunnis).

Most "news reports" about Syria shown on CNN/BBC/Al-Jazeera are stories and rumors that are taken directly from anonymous "activists" and Syrian opposition sources without any verification whatsoever. Most of the reports turn out to be completely false, and many times the sources aren't even Syrian.
For example, the "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" quoted often in the media actually consists of one man in a London apartment
