The Independent recently published an article titled, “How the Teachings of Islam Could Help Us Prevent More Sexual Abuse Scandals,” by Qasim Rashid (an apologist for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community). Rashid argues that the Qur’an and the teachings of Muhammad would be a tremendous benefit to women in the West. In this video, David Wood goes through Rashid’s claims, point by point, to see if he’s telling the truth. The topics discussed include the creation of women according to the Quran, the inheritance of wives, beating women, the importance of wearing the hijab (or burqa or niqab), the value of a woman’s testimony, the intellectual capacity of women, and Muhammad’s comments about the ideal woman.
