"What is the status of women in Christianity and Islam? How do the Bible view women? How do the Qur'an view women? Are women really oppressed in Islam?
Today people think that women are liberated in the west and that the women's liberation movement began in the 20th Century. Actually the women's liberation movement was revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the seventh century. The Qur'an and the Traditions of the Prophet (Hadith and Sunna) guarantee every Muslim woman certain rights and duties. This debate demonstrates the superiority of Islam over Christianity regarding the status and treatment of women. It is the right of every Muslim to explain and commend the position of women in Islam." The Topic of Debate: The Treatment of Women in Christianity and Islam By Muslim side: Dr. Jamal Badawi and Sister Aysha Bey Vs. Christian side: Dr. Lois Livezey and Dr. Jean Hughes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WwGTz6Qj_o&feature=related
