One aim of the pro-democracy protests sweeping the Arab world is toppling the dictators, but the ultimate aim of the Arab Spring should be establishing democratic countries that respect of human rights in all its forms. As we know, this is NOT necessarily happening.
Sadly, there are always parasites that will mushroom and try to exploit any successful revolution to bring their respective country backward to the dark ages. One of these parasites is someone called Sheikh Abdallah Rushdi in Egypt, who was debating on Egyptian TV if women are allowed to run for presidency (imagine we are still in the ‘debate’ stage on these matters).
This is what this Sheikh has to say on this matter: “God created the husband to be the guardian of his wife. He is her master, her man, and she obeys him. So how can my wife possibly be president of a republic? Will she listen to me or to the population”, then he continues: “…then her husband says: Either you resign and sit at home, or I will divorce you. What will we do then? You tell me. Should she lead her home to destruction or resign? The president cannot be subordinate to any other citizen. He must have the final say.”
Oh My God!
The danger is that this Sheikh is young, smartly dressed with a nice tie and trimmed beard. Some people, who are stuggling with their daily bread, might listen to him.
You can listen to him in the below video (with English subtitles), if you can bear that…

I agree. Yes, everyone has their role, and after the utter disaster MANkind has made of this planet, including raising men like this Sheikh to spread his misogynistic and unbelievably juvenile views, it seems men are simply not equipped mentally to rule countries.
Agree, everyone has his own responsibility, the wife has to listen and respect her husband if Not it will be punished , the main role for her to look after a new generation who is coming to face the hate of other nations
Poor women , I will tell you something that happend in our prophet era Pbuh and which is true and I heard it from many Imams , she was a lady whose her husband went to do commerce and had asked her to stay at home till he will come back from his trip and during the days , one of her relatives came to her and told her that her father is very sick and to come to see him and she told them that my husband had told me to stay at home but she told them go and ask Our prophet PBUH if he agives me the permission, the one of her relatives went to the Prophet PBUH and asked him , and he told him that she has to obbey her husband and after few days her father is died and then another person of her relatives came to her and told her that your father is died come and see him she told them I can’t but ask Our prophet PBUH they went again and our prophet told them she has to obbey her husband till his comes back , after that THE angle JIBRIL came to our prophet and told him the lady who is
