•Woman in Christianity has always been the culprit that is to blame for the
human miseries. She was never treated as a true human being. She was
degraded for a crime she never committed .
•In the Holy Book many stories were modified to serve a certain goal,
among these is the story of Adam and Eve.
•The true story of Adam and Eve is modified so that woman alone stands as
the basic reason of sending Adam (the symbol of man) out of the Paradise.

• The early theologians considered Eve to be the reason of
the crucifixion of Jesus, who (as they think) was sent to the
earth to atone for the human sins especially the Original Sin.
• Surely all of these lies are against the teachings of God in the
Holy Book.
• The story of Eve being the reason of Jesus crucifixion and
expelling Adam from heaven made the theologian adopt
antagonistic culture against woman; this led to treating
woman as an element inferior to man. www.knowmuhammad.o

You are the Devil's gateway: You are the unsealer
of the forbidden tree: You are the first deserter
of the divine law: You are she who persuaded him
whom the devil wasn't valiant enough to attack.
You destroyed so easily God's image, man".www.knowmuhammad.o

Centuries later, St. Thomas Aquinas still
considered women as defective, "As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and
misbegotten, for the active force in the male seed
tends to the production of a perfect likeness in
the masculine sex;

while the production of woman comes from
a defect in the active force or from some
material indisposition, or even from some
external influence ".

The women, on the other hand, thank God every
morning for "making me according to Thy will"

exempt from the study of the Torah." In the

teaches his daughter Torah it is as though he
taught her lechery "
