Women In Islam Versus Women In Judaeo-Christian Tradition

"In Canada, a woman is sexually assaulted every 6 minutes; 1 in 3 women in Canada will be sexually assaulted at some time in their lives; 1 in 4 women are at the risk of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime; 1 in 8 women will be sexually assaulted while attending college or university; and a study found 60% of Canadian university-aged mails said they would commit sexual assault if they were certain they wouldn't get caught.

Something is fundamentally wrong in the society we live in. A radical change in the society's life style and culture is absolutely necessary. A culture of modesty is badly needed, modesty in dress, in speech, and in manners of both men and women." - Dr. Sherif Abdel Azeem

"Islam still has so much to offer today's women: dignity, respect, and protection in all aspects and all stages of her life from birth until her death in addition to the recognition, the balance, and means for the fulfillment of all her spiritual, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs. No wonder most of those who choose to become Muslims in a country like Britain are women. In the U.S. women converts to Islam outnumber male converts 4 to 1." - Dr. Sherif Abdel Azeem

"To label the status of women in the Muslim world today as 'Islamic' is as far from the truth as labeling the position of women in the West today as 'Judaeo-Christian'. " - Dr. Sherif Abdel Azeem

These quotes are taken from Dr. Azeem's "Women In Islam Versus Women In Judaeo-Christian Tradition". This is a very interesting work that offers a comparative analysis of the status of women in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
