Hello,

I have seen some articles that attempt to describe us how "equal"
women are in Islam to men. As far as I know in the Islamic Law,
a.k.a. Shar'iat, a female witness is not equal to a male witness.
And, one woman alone cannot even be considered as a witness in
an Islamic court.

As the moderators will also agree, this posting doesn't contain
any "personal flames" and is definitely "related to islam".
BTW, I am also e-mailing one copy to the moderator (Sheri?).

Olleh,

   A.Coras
