                                     The Dark Danger



                                                    The idea that women are "deficient
                                                     in mind and faith" is a slander
                                               from the religion of the fanatics. God ad-
                                             dresses men and women equally in terms
                                           of responsibility. This is one of the reasons
                                         why many verses are addressed to male and
                                         female believers at the same time.
