Message: <blockquote data-quote="ex-muslim Ahmed" data-source="post: 11403138" data-attributes="member: 179431"><img src="http://www.faithfreedom.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/EgyptianParliament.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />In what seems a rather counterproductive statement for a woman  seeking political office — a position of “authority” — to make, one  female Egyptian parliamentary candidate made the damning affirmation  that women are “deficient” in both “intelligence and religion” and thus  it is “impermissible” for them to hold positions of authority. One wonders how Muna Salah reconciles her own candidacy for higher office then. Well, according to <a href="http://www.translatingjihad.com/2011/11/female-candidate-for-egyptian.html" target="_blank">Translating Jihad</a>,  Salah justifies her parliamentary bid by asserting the role would grant  her “partial” rather than full authority. If elected, Salah seeks to  implement Shariah law. A female salafi candidate for Egyptian  Parliament, Muna Salah, said to al-Sharq al-Awsat that women are  deficient in intelligence and religion, and it is not permissible for  them to be in authority or to occupy the office of the presidency. She  defended her candidacy for the People’s Council, saying that acting as a  representative in the Council is only partial authority and not  complete authority, such as the presidency of the republic. She added  that she seeks to apply the Islamic shari’a, including cutting off the  hands of thieves, preventing the mingling of men and women, and  specifying black clothes for women and white clothes for men. Translating Jihad also points out that Salah‘s belief in a woman’s  lack of intelligence and religion comes from somewhere — and that she is  in fact quoting directly from Muhammad, as recorded in Sahih  al-Bukhari: Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Once Allah’s Apostle went out to the  Musalla (to offer the prayer) o ‘Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he  passed by the women and said, “O women! Give alms, as I have seen that  the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women).” They asked,  “Why is it so, O Allah’s Apostle ?” He replied, “You curse frequently  and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more  deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man  could be led astray by some of you.” The women asked, “O Allah’s  Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?” He  said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one  man?” They replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency  in her intelligence. Isn’t it true that a woman can neither pray nor  fast during her menses?” The women replied in the affirmative. He  said, “This is the deficiency in her religion.”</blockquote>
