Ms Tasleema Nasreen must be getting paid to say that if she is a muslim. In the ancient Arab, little girls use to get buried alive, that\'s where Women importance was . The Prophet put a stop to it and himself had a progeny though his daughter who he respected a lot. Ms Tasleema confuses culture with religion. What about the caste system in India? What about dowries? What about sonograms to find out if it\'s a female then terminate the pregnancy. Please Ms Tasleema, get your facts right. I am a Muslim and so my grand parents and women were respected as long as culture did not interfere like in other part of the world. May God forgive you if this was a misunderstanding from your part
