Women in Islam
| Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world today, and Western women make up the largest number of converts, out-numbering male converts by a ratio of almost 4:1. While this may seem strange to people who regard Muslim women as weak and oppressed, the fact is that Islam gives enormous respect and dignity to women and demands that society treat them with justice and honor. Volumes have been written about the Muslim woman and her rights, but no one can explain why women are attracted to Islam better than Muslim women themselves. Here are the stories of just a few of the extraordinary women who have chosen Islam as a way of life. |
