Hello Emily

Praise Allah for muslim men treat their women like queens? Well! this site is about many muslim men who have treated their women appallingly! and what do you mean a good woman who knows how to treat her man? if you mean obey everything he says, be restricted from freedom to go out or have opinions and is unable to have any male/female friends,being told what to wear etc while he can do whatever he likes, have up to 4 wives, go out without question, flirt with western women for fun whilst their wives are at home doing everything.

Is this being a good woman? Is he being a good man? Muslim wives have no choice in life, its a mans world in islam, so.... a good woman means a controlled woman by law not by choice?. Of course they are called good women because their lives are restricted and they are their mans property. Anyone is good who is made to be! they are always there for their man but many men are unfaithful. Most muslim women are brought up to believe they have one purpose in life and that is to have a family and look after their man, and if he is a devout muslim he will expect the same of non muslim women, now that is sad.

just my opinion
