Western attitudes towards women<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Western attitude towards the female gender is a reaction to a long history of oppression that was mainly rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition. <\/span>Perhaps one can say more precisely that the modern attitudes sprang from the post-Reformation philosophies – ideas that appeared during the \u00b4time of enlightenment\u00b4. <\/span>The Islamic worldview forms a contradiction to this because it is based on the teachings found in the revelation of God to the Prophet Muhammad. <\/span>According to Muslims, the viewpoint that Islam represents can be used by mankind at any time; <\/span>their meaning and usefulness is not limited to a particular historical era, geographic location, or civilization. <\/span>The issue of ‚women‘ is only one of the controversies between these two worldviews, between that of the secular liberal humanists and that of Islam. <\/span>After all, what is the situation and position of women? <\/span>Can we say that women have a higher position in one culture and are oppressed in another?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The West prides itself on defending women’s rights, viewing itself as a protector of women around the world. <\/span>Western thinkers believe that women in the West are getting more and more rights while Muslim women are still oppressed by a medieval religion! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Muslims, on the other hand, believe that Islamic ethics actually offer true freedom for both men and women, and that the West promises freedom that does not actually exist, but is simply a modern form of slavery wrapped in plastic words.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s look in history at how women were viewed in the pyramid of Western traditions. <\/span>The West sees itself as an intellectual heir to the Greco-Roman tradition and many Western ideas can be traced back to the writings of early Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato. <\/span>If we read her works, we will find that her image of women was not exactly beneficial. <\/span>Plato showed contempt for certain men by comparing them to women. <\/span>Bertrand Russell once wrote: \u201cAristotle believed that women have fewer teeth than men; <\/span>although he was married twice, it never occurred to him to verify this claim by looking into his wife’s \u00b4mouth\u00b4.<\/span><\/span>
\nThe Church adopted much of the Greco-Roman philosophies about women. <\/span>Women were condemned to endure the pain of childbirth for their sin, causing Adam to eat the forbidden fruit (Genesis 2: 4-3: 24). <\/span>Women are seen as the source of sin and evil in man, burdened with the inherited guilt and guilt of the biblical Eve. <\/span>The Bible says: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I found a woman more bitter than death, who is a safety net and knit her heart and shackles her hands. <\/span>Whoever pleases God will escape it; <\/span>but the sinner is caught by them … and I kept looking and I didn’t find it: out of a thousand I found a man, but I didn’t find a (sincere) woman among all. \u201d <\/span>(The preacher Solomon 7: 26-28)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

„No wickedness comes close to the wickedness of women … Sin started with women and thanks to her we all have to die.“ <\/span>(Ekklesiastikus 25:19, 24) <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jewish rabbis have listed nine curses that women have been <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

charged <\/span>because of the fall: <\/span>\u201cHe has given the woman nine curses and death: the burden of mentorship blood and virginity blood, the burden of pregnancy and the burden of childbirth, the burden of raising children, her head is covered like that of a mourner, she pierces her ear like a permanent slave or a slave who serves her master, no faith is given to her as a witness, and after all – Death. \u201d[4]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To this day, Orthodox Jewish men recite in their daily morning prayers: „Blessed be God, ruler of the universe, for not making me a woman.“ <\/span><\/span>
\nThe women, on the other hand, thank God every morning for \u201cYou made me according to your will.\u201d [5] <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
