And this is relevant because...?
Their prophet's legitimacy is crap, which in turn makes Islam itself crap. Their respect for the name and image of Mohammed is a false one, as his own prophethood is not even legit. Basically they are morons, just like anyone who would throw a hissy fit over the image of Yahweh or Jesus.
Luckily you don't get to define the legitimacy of any prophet, Christian, Muslim, or otherwise. I'd encourage you to discuss your views with a representative of the Muslim population, however. Maybe they have the patience to explain the finer points to you.
Lucky for me, as I wouldn't want the burden of naming some psychopath like Mohammed as a prophet (he was a military leader that killed many people and screwed 12 year old girls lol). The legitimacy that he claims to have is based on a Christian Monk, and that type of symbol has NEVER been associated with a prophet in Judeo-Christian history (Abrahamic lineage). That makes it bullshit. I have talked to Muslims before, and there really isn't anything to prove and no evidence (other than his supposed ascension in front of 400 people) that makes Mohammed special.
I'm sorry but I have to say that Mohammed was a great man, maybe a bit of a loony but he was a good person. The thing that made Mohammed special was that he, of all people, became a great religious leader and the founder of a world religion (and he talked with an angel).
Muhammed did many great things for female and female rights, altough today it might not seem like he did much for women but before Muhammed showed up people would marry up to 20 women and didn't really care for them. Muhammed made a law that said that if you can treat your women equally and care for them all they can marry up to 3 women. But then they most have the money to support them, give dem clothing and food and all that.
The thing with Islam is that it, just like many other religions, believe in gender roles, men should be out and work while the woman take care of the home, but it is allowed for a female to work as long as she does her duties at home.
Both women and men are incouraged to study.
Since the female role is in the home, she is mostly economically dependent on the male persons in her family or her husbands family but if she works her money belongs to her but only to her. No one can take that away from her and she doesn't have to care economically for her children.
In the Qu'ran both male and females should dress respectable infront of God.
Even though it's preferable for a women to be a virgin before she marries, it's just because there is a rule that only pure men and women can marry each other. They basicly share the thought of many christians that thinks it's a sacred thing. Now stop being so prejudiced against Islam and muslims.
Oh, and by the way, the muslims I know are the most kind, caring and generous people of everyone I know, and without them I would be lost and probably depressed. They have done so much for me and they have welcomed me even though I'm not religious and my slutty reputation. They even welcomed my homosexual friend.
