        It is important to note that a
        person is a human before being
        a woman or a man in the sexual
        sense and the specificities of
        each sex is only so that every
        person was a woman or a man
        to play its role for the creation
        and the good of humanity.
        Islam as Christianity affirms the
        equality of men and women
        and affirms that it is necessary
        to work for the establishment
        of a good family and for the
        establishment of friendship
        among its members.
        God did not place Eve at the
        head of Adam to be superior
        to him, and He did not place
        her at his legs to be under
        him, but God brought Eve to
        the side of Adam to be equal
        with him, according to the
        Bible (Genesis). The Christian
        religion considers that the
        role of women is one of the
        most important roles in the
        Church, as Pope John Paul II
        had always said that the role
        of women is sometimes more
        important than the role of
        priests or bishops.
        Today, women in the Middle
        East suffer from difficult
        economic, political and war
        crises, but stand with men in
        the battlefield and support
        them with many important
        tasks. At the same time, they
        are responsible of nurturing
        future generations and
        preserving the family.
