        responsibility imposed on women on this subject in Islam. Allah has
        revealed that there is no distinction between men and women:
             Their Lord responds to them: "I will not let the deeds of
             any doer among you go to waste, male or female—you are
             both the same in that respect. Those who migrated and
             were driven from their homes and suffered harm in My
             way and fought and were killed, I will erase their bad ac-
             tions from them and admit them into Gardens with rivers
             flowing under them, as a reward from Allah. The best of all
             rewards is with Allah." (Surah Al ‘Imran, 195)
             In conclusion, the most rational solution is for men and women
        to come to an understanding and organize jobs of all kinds between
        themselves.
             It is of course inappropriate, in the absence of a particular ne-
        cessity, for women to undertake heavy labor and work that exceeds
        their physical capacities. Yet to interpret that to mean that women
        are helpless, deficient beings in need of assistance and to indoctri-
        nate them into that mindset is the product of the Religion of the
        Ignorant, which contains indoctrination, direct or indirect, to the ef-
        fect that women, created physically weaker, should also have
        weaker characters. The fact is that there is no difference between
        men and women, apart from the strength of their muscles. Men and
        women have the same responsibilities in the Sight of Allah, and will
        both be called to account.
             The model of helplessness proposed by Ignorantism turns a
        woman capable of acting perfectly normally, healthily, rationally
        and consistently, into an object of pity. Gradually, that helplessness
        becomes part of her character.
             The woman of the Religion of the Ignorant is therefore far re-
        moved from the noble, upright and rational behavior unique to the
