Somebody told me that a good article on women has been posted to this 
newsgroup, but I cannot find it.  Could anybody repost it or email it to
me.  Thanks.

I have two questions:

1-  Why does a woman count as only half a witness (i.e 2 women = men)?
2-  Does anybody have an explanation for "Lan youfliha kaoumoun ouallaou
    amrahoum imraa"?

Thanks.
Mohamed
