Muslim Women in Politics

[edit]

If the Queen of Sheba submitted to Islam, does this mean women are morally allowed to become political leaders? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.44.47.85 (talkcontribs) 14:11, 11 June 2008

Considering the fact that the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be with him) first wife was a diplomat and leader of armies, yes--women in Islam have an equal status to men. Culture and religion are two very different things, I might add--though the Islamic world has a strong tradition of female leaders, and female imams are relatively common in places like India, Pakistan, and Africa —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.197.40 (talk) 06:42, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
