		<description><![CDATA[Islam is not a piecemeal arrangement It has rules and regulations which have to be followed or you quit . One cannot pick and choose at his or her own conveniance . Marital alliance is a matter of Shariah Nilah has established rules all of which should be fufilled The do&#039;s and dont&#039;s have been well defined in shariyah .Next alternative is Nikah e Mutah . It is immaterial whether shia still consider is jaez and allowed and the sunni&#039;s consider is abrogated and haram . The factual position is that the holy book allows it , Rasool (saaws) recommended it in certain conditions and it was never divinely abrogated It was in practice during the Rasool&#039;s Time and even afterwards then Omar on his own put a ban on it . No doubt he was a rular , Many claimed he was appointed but no one claim he was divinely appointed and had the authority to make amends in the ahkam e shariyah after the takmeel e deen. which prevents omar to make any additions or  alterations in the rules of shariyah , otherwise the action becomes a bida&#039;a which is totally haram in Islam . So the position is this that both nikah and mutah, if all the rules and regulations are followed is both permissable, though the actual performance of mutah in sunnies is nil because of prohibition and is also non existant in shia because it is very impractical . I in my 75 years , well travelled and because of my media profession and teaching came across a large section of both sunnis and shias, in many part of the world but yet to know any one who had  a mutah marriage . .As far as Misyar, this I can say with confidence that its validity has no existance either in Qora&#039;an or any hadees even the most of the zaeef , so naturally as per the Islamic shariya, it is null and void , haram and an ugly innovation to illegitimately satisfy the batial passion and can be said an alternative to prostitution though in a manner that could be felt less shameful. I am hearing anther innovation, do not remember the name similler to misyar and insidently more in practice in the saudi elite families who take this ruite to satiate their sexual urge where ever they go because they have money to buy the facility and they could get it sanctified by thier ever ready clerics who will immediately issue a fatwah of validity at the spin of a few coins, for them God may go to hell, other wise also on a very well known hadees  their God will put one of His massive leg in the wast empty space of Jhannum when it complains of its too much emptiness (abu horairah: Saheeh Bokhari).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have read these comments with great interest and I am appalled to see how women and children are treated as chattel in Islamic countries. 

To give you some background of myself, I am an atheist of European origin and have lived in Australia for more than 40 years. I had my first son at the age of 19 as a single mother - ironically enough the father was muslim. My son is now 45 years old, an atheist as myself and a wonderful father to his children. In 1971 I married an Englishman and we had 2 daughters. During the time of this marriage I became heavily involved in the women&#039;s rights movement and I had a full-time job throughout my marriage. When the marriage finally ended in 1981 I bought my first house for the children and myself. In 1990 I had another son and married the father, an African-American in 1991. This marriage ended in 1993. Since then I have concentrated on raising my youngest son, working (I&#039;m an accountant) and creating wealth. 

So here are my views: 

Religion - I don&#039;t believe in a higher being. I consider the 3 mainstream religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam, to be invented by men for men. All three religions are based on patriarchial societies that oppress females. As a woman, I find this to be unacceptable. 

Marriage - I don&#039;t believe in marriage. Similar to religion, it is an institution created by males to keep women subservient. In a matriarchial society, marriage has little to no relevance as there is no concept of promiscuity, a woman may choose one or multiple partners. 

Promiscuity - as mentioned above, it is not a concept that exists in matriarchial societies where the children are identified by their mothers and where women may have as many partners as they desire. Let us not forget, it is the female principle that is the most important factor when it comes to the welfare of children. 

Wealth - In Western countries women do not only have the right to take up employment, but have the right to execute financial transactions and to build wealth in their own name. Over the past twenty years, as a single mother raising my youngest son, I have accumulated considerable investments in the stockmarket and real estate. So who needs a man for economic support? 

Sexual Orientation - perfectly legal in the Western world. I don&#039;t particularly want to see men kissing men or women kissing women, but if that is what turns them on, who am I to tell them it&#039;s wrong.  

In closing, there have been quite a few comments condemning our Western lifestyle. All I have to say is that you are welcome if you are prepared to adapt to the Western lifestyle. If you can&#039;t or are unwilling, there are plenty of Islamic countries in the world where you should be welcome.]]></description>
