Women as imams: Encyclopedia II - Criticism of Islam - Theological criticism

Criticism of Islam's theology is often focused as much on Muhammad the individual as it is on beliefs held by Muslims about God. In addition, criticism of aspects of belief and practice that some consider "traditional" Islamic theology has often come from those identifying themselves as Muslims. A brief summary follows. Criticism of Islam - Muhammad. Many medieval and early modern writers were motivated to criticise Islam by admiration for or hatred of its prophet Muhammad. Martin Luther, for example, refe ...

Women as imams: Encyclopedia II - Women in Islam - Domestic violence

According to most interpretations of Sharia (Islamic law), authorization for the husband to physically beat disobedient wives is provided only under certain conditions. First, admonishment is verbal and secondly a period of refraining from intimate relations is observed. Finally, if the husband finds the situation very serious, he may hit her: "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen ...

Women as imams: Encyclopedia II - Ordination of women - Christianity

Ordination of women - Roman Catholic Church. The ordination of women is much discussed in the Roman Catholic Church today, as vocations to the priesthood decline and with them access to the sacraments, most immediately the Eucharist. The official teaching of the Church is presented first, followed by the arguments for ordaining Catholic women and a few facts about the movement for change. The Church teaching on the ordination of only men holds that maleness was integral to the personhood of both Jesus and ...

Women as imams: Encyclopedia II - Criticism of Islam - Scientific criticism

As with all religions, critics of Islam have pointed to what they believe are internal inconsistencies and scientific inaccuracies within its sacred texts (the Qur'an) and traditions (Hadith).

Examples can be found at Skeptics Annotated Quran[26] and Deabate.org [27][28]. For their part, Muslims suggest that the apparent contradictions are the consequences of either mistra ...

Women as imams: Encyclopedia II - Criticism of Islam - Ethical criticism

Some critics claim that, as a religion and system of law for governing society, Islam falls short of providing acceptable ethical values according to modern standards. [1] In response, defenders of Islam have suggested a) that ethical critiques of Islam often focus, not on actual principles of the faith, but on various forms of cultural traditionalism; and b) that these critiques, when they do focus on Islamic legal principles, often focus on the most sensational cases, ignoring the generally popular social result produced by shar ...

Women as imams: Encyclopedia II - Women in Islam - The effect of Islamism

The nebulous revivalist movement termed Islamism is one of the most dynamic movements within Islam in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Women as imams: Encyclopedia II - Criticism of Islam - History

Many criticisms of the central beliefs in Islam predate the codification of Islam itself. For instance, recorded criticism of a belief in a supernatural omnipotent creator dates at least as far back as the writings of ancient Greek philosophers such as Epicurus. Like their Christian counterparts, medieval Islamic scholars worked to reconcile or argue against such views. The earliest records of criticism of Islam are found in early Islamic writings about criticism from their pagan Arabian adversaries and the Jewish inhabitants of south ...

Women as imams: Encyclopedia II - Women in Islam - Honor killings

Due to the prevalance of honor killings in some Muslim societies, "Honor killings" are often identified with Islam, with some writers asserting that they are part of Islamic teaching.

Such killings take place within a few Muslim communities around the Mediterranean as well as in Brazil, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Punjab in India (see http://www.dfn.org/articles/currenteven ...
