monotheistic and worship the same
one God as Christians and
Jews. 9

Reality:
Only Muslim extremists believe
this. (Just like most Christians do NOT believe in bombing abortion clinics.)

Myth #4:
Most Muslim women wear veils
over their faces and are treated very
badly.13
![Page 14: Intro to islam power point presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070315/554ef995b4c90577698b49a4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reality:
• Muslim women have many different styles of dress. (Very few cultures require women to cover their faces.)
• The treatment of women varies from country to country and family to family.
• Some Muslim countries, like Pakistan, have had female prime ministers. The U.S. has never had a female president.
