Is the Western non Muslim woman free???

[Muslimah]

Bismillah


reepi u obviously totally missed the idea which sparked this thread.


Thus I edited the thread title.


We were not discussing status of Muslim women living in the West and in Muslim world.


But rather Muslim and non Muslim women living in the West.


Now that has been cleared.


I m not sure why the tone of challenge John, what do u mean we must do better. do better in terms of what and to whose standards.


I think u go for long elaborate posts just to make an impression.


Now I think Suhail and Dan gave u a reply.


Just in case u missed it, Dan confirmed my idea which is the definition of freedom just as u noted that:


<b>It is obvious that member muslimah does not understand the meaning of the word freedom but has her own, narrow interpretation of its meaning.
</b>


Now that Dan gave u the definition any Muslim applies, I think this must be done.


We are free because we only abide by what Allah Commanded us, we are free because we are not enslaved to manmade standards regarding this or that.


We are free because we are not to strive to fit into the society thru its own criteria that differ from one place to another and from one community to another.


Is this enough?


So again briefly we are free because we only submit to Allah.
