I will also not be forced to become a Christian woman, at least not for now.
Abid I have seen videos (taken by a student living with a family) of Muslim women and their daughters eating the scraps off a table when the men have finished. I have seen them gnaw on empty bones like dogs because that is what their men leave for them. These women have are isolated and have no control over their lives. They depend on men for everything because they are refused education. I know it is not true of Muslim women around the world, but if fanatics like you were in control that would be the fate of women.
I will also not debate you on this issue, because to debate a fanatic such as you is futile.
Do not judge a religion by its followers as not all are the same.
The Qur'an states regarding women, 'They are garments for you and you are garments for them.'
As a garment gives protection, warmth, comfort and decency, so too a husband and wife offer each other intimacy, comfort and protection from committing adultery.
here is what Islam says regarding the matter
The Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) also said, 'Paradise is beneath the feet of your mother.'
Hadhrat Abu Hurayra (Radhiallaahu Ánhu) says that a man asked the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), 'Who is worthier of my good treatment?' The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied, 'Your mother (which he repeated three times), then your father."
