Being itself a collection of myths, it comes as no surprise that the Quran endorses various kinds of myths and folk tales. The existence of Jinn, Angels, the Jinx, the belief in magic and the random interpretation of dreams are only some of those fables endorsed by the Quran. None of this folklore was invented by Islam; they have been known by ancient nations for centuries. But humanity moved on and dismissed those as nonsense old folk-tales. However, it is impossible for Muslim societies to make such a forward move, because Allah’s words in the Quran have sanctified them as truth. So, as per Islam, there is nothing wrong with those myths; they are as real as their own existence. After all, Muslims believe there is nothing in the Quran that can be disputed or doubted, it is absolute truth.
This article focuses on the interpretation of dreams, based on my own experience in the Middle East. I suspect that other Muslim societies are no different as far as belief in such myths and nonsense is concerned.

This latest revolution in Egypt, the second in the last two years, is a symptom of a deep-rooted problem at the heart of Islam itself: Egypt is on the verge of a civil war to bring a resolution to the never-ending tension between what Islam demands versus what the people really want.
This is the central problem in most Muslim countries: the difficult choice between a civilian, military "infidel" government, and a totalitarian Islamic theocracy. The problem is compounded when most Egyptians consider themselves both Muslim and lovers of democracy, but refuse to see that Islam and freedom cannot co-exist. How can Islam anywhere produce a democracy when freedom of speech and religion are outlawed, where there is no free and independent judiciary, and equal rights for women, minorities and non-Muslims are legally suppressed?

Dear Muslim sisters! In Part 1 of this article, we have come across many ‘golden sayings’ of our noble prophet about Muslim women. Those sayings make it crystal clear that your status in Islam is not only lower than men, but also as low as or even lower than domestic animals. The troublesome issue of women in Islam is endless. We can’t cover it all in a few short articles. So, I will keep this discussion brief touching only a few points and complete it in three parts, leaving an earnest request to my Muslim sisters to spend some of your time to study Islamic scriptures on your own in order to know your real status in Islam.
PRIVILEGE FOR MUSLIM MEN IN SEX
Muhammad’s imaginary brainchild Allah the most Gracious has allowed Muslim men to marry up to four wives. If they desire for the pleasure of new flesh even after having four wives, they can just dismiss one by uttering ‘talaq’ three times and bring in a new one. In addition, Muslim men can have slave-girls as many as they want to spice up their sex life.

DIRECT REWARDS FOR FASTING MUSLIMS FROM ALLAH
This title would have shocked both the Muslims and ‘infidels’. But it is true as per recorded Islamic sources. I dedicate this multi-part article to the liberation of all women, of my Muslim sisters in particular.
Dear Muslim Sisters! Allah specifically says that the observance of fasting by Muslims is entirely for Him and He will give rewards directly without the interventions of any one (!) (Sahih Al-Bukhari 3:128).
