More than 700 million women live within the religious system of Islam. How are they taught to live and believe? In Trapped Behind the Veil of Islam we will clearly see the implications Muhammad's life and teachings have on today's Muslim women. You'll discover they are taught: Women should lower their gaze and dress modestly with veils (Sura 24:31); husbands can physically beat their wives (Sura 4:34); women can be lashed for adultery (Sura 24:2); according to the Hadith adulterous women are to be sentenced to deather (Bukhari 83:37); a Muslim woman cannot leave Islam (Bukhari 9:57). This greatly contrasts with the view of women presented in the Bible. There, women are created equal with men in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). This study will help you better understand the plight of women in the Muslim world.
