Kuwait; women can vote but not be elected

That is a little like saying you can be in the kitchen and cook, but you can't learn from Gordon Ramsey.

Ridiculous.

Another example of how women in Islam are second-class humans.  It is interesting to note than "Women from the physical point of view are not fit to practice politics that requires debating, staying awake for long hours at night, (and)appearing before men and mingling with them."  So giving birth after 30 hours of labor is just a walk in the park, eh?  Get together 5 friends and a bowling ball and let us know how that simulated childbirth went.  And while your at it, pull your lower lip up over your head, see if the pain is too much for you.

Bid To Ensure Smooth Flow Of Polls



KUWAIT CITY, Dec 14: Prominent Kuwaiti Islamic scholar Dr Ajeel Al-Nashmi has said that Islam does not allow women to run in elections, even as he approves of giving women the right to vote in elections, reports Al-Anba daily.

The Head of Sharia Scholars League in the GCC countries Dr Ajeel Al-Nashmi maintains that women have the right to participate in political issues by expressing their opinions or demanding their rights in the media.

Al-Nashmi who is also a former dean of the Faculty of Sharia and Islamic Studies noted that women may be given the chance to select their representatives for public offices in the ministries or National Assembly, but objected to women running in elections for appointment in similar positions because “during the era of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and subsequent periods, history has not registered women appointments in government to manage affairs in any Islamic state.”

Women from the physical point of view are not fit to practice politics that requires debating, staying awake for long hours at night, appearing before men and mingling with them, Al-Nashmi indicated.
