Essay - Sexuality By educating children and young adults properly about sexuality, and by eliminating the features or habits which contribute to a negative self-image, and by focusing on the positive language found regarding these issues in Islamic literature women and men will be able to enjoy a fulfilling sexual relationship in marriage that is each person's right. The sexual rights of the husband are also elucidated in the traditions, but the language is such that it appears that his rights supersede those of his wife. The following hadith highlights the importance of privacy in sexual relationships: the Prophet is reported to have said, "The most wicked among the people in the sight of God on the Day of Judgement is the man who goes to his wife and she comes to him, and then he divulges her secret."

Islam's Holy Prophet Muhammad - Prophat Muhammad and The Haven of the First Hijra In their effort to uproot Islam from the country, they have employed the services of western missionary groups who relentlessly devoted their time and financial resources for the main purpose of converting Muslims, especially orphan children of famine and drought victims, to Christianity. The land of the first Hijra is being groomed once again by the enemies of equality, justice and human rights to be the bastion of Christianity in East Africa. The first migration [Hijra] of the Companions and relatives of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to Ethiopia celebrates the birth of freedom of expression and beliefs, whereas, the Second Migration of the Prophet Muhammad to the Madinah celebrates the end of oppression. www.islamic-paths.org /Home/English/Muhammad/Other/First_Hijra.htm   (2455 words)

World Peace Herald Aside from a thorough grounding in Islamic sources, there are also courses on the Judeo-Christian Bible, comparing Western and Muslim concepts of freedom, human rights in Islam, both liberal and conservative Islamic theology in the past, and the varying interpretations of different Muslim sects. Many moderate teachings and traditions exist in Islam that can be used for this purpose but which are ignored by the far stronger forces of radicalism that pick the theologians and passages they want in order to claim that their version is the only legitimate one. The Tunisian experience shows that moderate Islam is possible but only if Arab states and societies teach their children that it is legitimate and give them the tools needed to live and believe that way. www.wpherald.com /storyview.php?StoryID=20050316-093315-4463r   (337 words)

Hooper said a positive image of Islam is important to protect the civil rights of Muslims in the United States.

The Silent Holocaust: Why Humanity Must Achieve Victory over Islam The oppression maintained by Islamic movements primarily takes the form of opposition to the freedom of women, by crushing women's civil liberties, by curtailing freedom of expression in the cultural and personal domains, by enforcing brutal laws and traditions, and by the mass killing of people from young children to the elderly. Islam under any kind of interpretation is and always has been a strong force against secularism, modernism, egalitarianism and women's rights. Political Islam, however, is a political movement that has come to the fore against secular and progressive movements for liberation, and against cultural and intellectual advances. www.secularislam.org /humanrights/silent.htm   (1958 words)

Frontpage Backpage - More Judicial Activism in California...And The Children Shall Lead Them While the children’s dedication and commitment is endearing, it makes all the more obvious the deafening silence of so-called civil-rights organizations like the Congressional Black Caucus, the Rainbow Coalition, or the Nation of Islam about the ongoing oppression of black African Christians.

Untitled Document In Muslim countries such as Pakistan, for instance, it is often remarked by secular-minded proponents of human rights that it is not meaningful to talk about human rights in Islam because as a religious tradition, Islam has supported values and structures which are incompatible with the assumptions which underlie the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Muslims say with great pride that Islam abolished female infanticide; true, but, it must also be mentioned that one of the most common crimes in a number of Muslim countries (e.g., in Pakistan) is the murder of women by their husbands. Muslim societies, in general, appear to be far more concerned with trying to control women's bodies and sexuality than with their human rights. www.religiousconsultation.org /hassan2.htm   (4778 words)

Inquiry and Analysis Series - No. 82 I say to those who demand equality and whine about women's rights that by permitting polygamy, Islam protects the woman's humanity and emotions, and secures her right to marry and gain honor and esteem, instead of becoming a professional paramour lacking in rights whose children are thrown onto the garbage heap."[2] Supporters of polygamy frequently dismiss women's rights' supporters, saying that they (polygamy supporters) are defending the right of the second wife to marry. Islam Restricts Polygamy Often, polygamy's advocates say that, contrary to popular opinion, Islam actually puts restrictions on polygamy, in that it permits a man to take only four wives. memri.org /bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=ia&ID=IA8202   (1489 words)

145986_comment.php So the objective of the first section is to remove one of the veils that covers the face of Islam by claiming that Islam respects human rights and freedom of religion. Also, when we claim that the wars which Muhammad and his successors waged were offensive wars to spread Islam by force, to plunder the abundance of the countries, to seize the properties of the lands and to capture women and children, we encounter multitudes of people who express their astonishment and disapproval. Muhammad, therefore, sent his ambassadors to eight kings and princes in the neighborhood of the Arab Peninsula to call them to embrace Islam. jerusalem.indymedia.org /news/2004/12/145986_comment.php   (20452 words)

7/10/98 - Ar-Rahim (Family Ties) Islam changed all this and while confirming the blood ties respected in the jahiliya, Islam put much more focus on the women and gave them their rights of property, inheritance, etc., prevented their murder and named family ties after them by using the word for "womb". As in all other issues, we see Muslims when they stray from their deen and become ignorant of its teachings, gravitating back to the same old jahiliya which came before Islam - mistreating women as individuals and societies and systematically denying them their rights. Inheritance customs of the jahiliya dictated that the male relatives - those most capable of fighting and defending the family - took everything even if the deceased left a wife and children. www.java-man.com /Pages/Khutab/khutba980710.html   (20452 words)

Africa Sudan, once promoted as the bridge between the Arab and African worlds, was distinguished by human rights abuses arising from the government's determination to create an Arab Islamic state, including discrimination against Sudanese non-Arabs and non-Muslims. The Sudan government's sponsorship of the Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a rebel group with an appalling human rights record of abducting, killing, torturing, and sexually abusing Ugandan children, was visible when it permitted relatives of some kidnaped children to visit an LRA camp inside Sudan. But the ruling National Islamic Front (NIF) represented a politicized form of Islam and repressed even Muslim leaders and sects that challenged its hegemony. www.hrw.org /worldreport/Africa-12.htm   (20452 words)
