Is Islam for Women? Part II

This brief blog is a little addendum to the previous blog on whether Islam if for Women?  Ever notice how all the stronly feminist groups say nothing when it comes to Islam's bad treatment of women?  Even though it is sanctioned in their religion, and by their "prophet," whom Jesus would label as a wolf in sheep's clothing.

One woman is speaking up, and speaking up of  her unbelief of the liberal feminist groiups that are remaining quiet on this issue!

Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America (CWA), is shocked at how Islam treats women. "Concerned Women for America has been vocal in denouncing the appalling way that Muslims treat women, and we're sorry that the feminists are not willing to join us in denouncing radical Islam," she comments.

To be sure, Pamela Geller, of Atlas Shrugs also speaks out almost all facets of Islam.  Americans, you love democracy, freedom... if we allow Islam to make headway into this country as a political force, as in Europe, look for America to be further fundamentally transformed.  And Hillary Clinton thinks she cracked the glass ceiling?  In Islam that ceiling is about a 1,000 ft. thicker!  Where's Hillary when you need her?


Men within Christianity, as the "head" of their spousal union, are supposed to honor women as the weaker partner, so that their prayers will not be hindered.  Marriage was ordained by God among the societies of earth as a picture of the covenental relationship He has (or desires to have) with humanity.  As Christ is the head of the Church (Eph 4:23) so the husband is to be the head of the wife.  And as the Church lovingly, desirously, and zealously submits herself to her head, Christ, so the wife is to do so to her husband within a marriage covenant (Eph 4:24).
 
The reason most women out there do not want to submit to their husbands (well, there's several factors), but mostly is that the husband do not know or follow Christ as their leader, Savior and Lord.  When the men do this, then God gives them the ability to be a servant-leader in the marriage relationship.
 
And within Islam, in which salvation is merited by works observed or performed in life (with no real bearing on the heart), salvation is only guaranteed if a person dies in battle with an infidel.  It's enough to get the liberal anti-America groups to be quiet!  Seriously though, if one desires to be saved from the injustice, iniquity and inequality in the world, they agree with God about their sinfulness (lying, cursing, sexual immorality, taking God's name in vain, hatred, greed, etc.  Gal. 5:19-21), and surrender control of their lives to their Lord, Jesus Messiah.  He came once to take away sins, for all who place their faith in His work on the cross, where, according to scripture, Jesus died in your place, taking your punishment on the cross. (Rom 3:23-25; 1 John 2:2, 4:10).
 
16 “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 Anyone who believes in Him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.
