Bigotry:
The Dark Danger

While the Prophet

Muhammad (pbuh) was alive,
he prevented the misogyny of
the pagans and the hypocrites.
As a matter of fact, the
Prophet's (pbuh) love and
respect of women was one of

the things that infuriated the
hypocrites and pagans the
most. These people could-
n't sever their ties with

their pagan traditions,
which viewed women
as second-class beings
and so they couldn't
accept the Prophet’s
(pbuh) love for women. Hypocrites

and pagans got almost insane with
jealousy when they saw how pret-
ty the female believers were, how
faithful to and in love they were
with the Prophet (pbuh), how

they found extreme happiness
and peace with him. After the
Prophet's (pbuh) demise, this
madness and jealousy drove
them to oppress women and
they worked to drive women

away from Islam with nonsen-
sical superstitions.
