Egypt warns giving women some rights could destroy society
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Egypt's ruling Muslim Brotherhood warns that a U.N. declaration on women's rights could destroy society by allowing a woman to travel, work and use contraception without her husband's approval and letting her control family spending.
The Islamist party of President Mohamed Mursi outlined 10 reasons why Muslim countries should "reject and condemn" the declaration. The Brotherhood, which was elected to power in June, posted the statement on its website, http://www.ikhwanweb.com/
The Muslim Brotherhood said the declaration would give "wives full rights to file legal complaints against husbands accusing them of rape or sexual harassment, obliging competent authorities to deal husbands punishments similar to those prescribed for raping or sexually harassing a stranger, give girls sexual freedom, legalize abortion, provide teenagers with contraceptives, give equality to women in marriage and require men and women to share duties such as child care and chores, equal rights to homosexuals, and provide protection and respect for prostitutes" and "equal rights to adulterous wives and illegitimate sons resulting from adulterous relationships."

Jesus had remarked, “A prophet is respected everywhere except in his home town and by his own family.” (Matthew 13:57) How Muhammad must be rolling in his own grave these days! The imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca has launched an expansion program, which includes the demolition of the Ottoman and Abbasid sections of the Mosque as well as Muhammad’s birthplace, all dating back to the 7th Century. In Medina, the masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet’s mosque) could be destroyed, if expansion plans there are carried out. Anywhere else in the world, even a sarcastic remark about Muhammad could land someone in jail, but he gets no respect in his home town. A full report with photographs of the destruction can be found in article.

In a panel discussion at the German Ecumenical gathering (Church Day) on 2 June 2012, former German President Christian Wulff said, Islam is part of a modern, changing Germany and necessary to develop a vibrant society.
Finance minister of the state of Bavaria, Markus Söder, supported Wulff by saying that Islam is an "integral part of Bavaria”, while new President Joachim Gauck said, Muslims living in Germany are more definitively a part of the country than the religion of Islam.
