From the Haddith (the sayings of The Prophet Muhammad http://www.islamforlife.co.uk/saw.gif)

Bukhari (2:28) - "Women comprise the majority of Hell's occupants."

The side annotation to this was: "This is important because the only women in heaven ever mentioned by Muhammad http://www.islamforlife.co.uk/saw.gif are the virgins who serve the sexual desires of men."

What do you think?

Its a strong verse. And doesn't say much for womens rights in Islam.

PS
The views expressed the in above verse Bukhari (2:28) do not represent the views of the VT user dooleynz =).

http://www.islamforlife.co.uk/saw.gif = "May Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) honour him and grant him peace."

سبحانه وتعالى = may He be glorified and exalted

I like to be respectful of the faiths of others and so I keep to the standard islamic practice of putting these phrases in arabic after the the names of The Prophet http://www.islamforlife.co.uk/saw.gif and Allah (سبحانه وتعالى)

I see you may have gotten this from my thread...

Anyway, it is a strong verse. Every religion has its share of discomforting or extremist values, ones mostly ignored by modern followers. It does show just how different the world was back 2,000 years ago compared to now. That's another reason why religion is incompatible with a progressive, modern society.
