			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here I like to discuss 6 important things that every Muslim women want to see in their societies. World largest polling service<strong> <a href="http://www.gallup.com.pk/" target="_blank">Gallup</a></strong> did polling in 2005 with 1000 individual women face-to-face from 8 predominantly Muslim countries including; Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco and Jordan. Gallup asked few questions from each of them and found these 6 things common that what they are looking for in their dream society. You can also see a video in which Muslim women scholars talking about women rights at <a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/2009/10/12/what-muslim-women-want-in-muslim-world/" target="_blank">what Muslim women want video.</a></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">1)  Equal Legal Rights</span></h3>
<p>Women in Muslim world want equal legal rights as men. Although it is not a very big issue now because laws in polled countries are so define for women. Also most Muslim men believes on &#8220;Equal Rights&#8221;, In turkey there is virtually no gap (92% of both women and men said women should have the same legal rights as men) but this percentage seems little different in other Muslim countries.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">2)  Voting Without Influence</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Although situation is getting better and better, but still there is lot more to do for women to vote without any pressure. Check out the chart for better understanding.<a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Decision-to-vote.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-258" title="Decision to vote" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Decision-to-vote.gif" alt="Decision to vote 6 Things That Every Muslim Women Want In Society" width="645" height="415" /></a></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">3)  Do Jobs</span></h3>
<p>Nowadays Muslim women want to stand on their own feet. They want to contribute in society, want to prove themselves. In short, they want to do jobs outside and exposure the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Agree-to-do-Job.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-259" title="Agree to do Job" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Agree-to-do-Job.gif" alt="Agree to do Job 6 Things That Every Muslim Women Want In Society" width="645" height="411" /></a></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">4)  Same Education Facilities</span></h3>
<p>It is true that in Muslim countries, women haven&#8217;t such education facilities as men. This is one of the reason they are far behind then men. Literacy gap between women and men in Pakistan is 73% but in Iran education gender gap is 0, means in Iran men and women have same facilities.</p>
<p>But if we look towards whole world, we will notice that this problem is not only with Muslim world, Germany and France have education gender gap of more then 50%. United States same as Iran 0 difference and Japan already reverse gender gaps (literacy rate between women is more then men).</p>
<p>So seems like it is not only in Muslim countries but it is whole world phenomenon. Yet also we need to minimize this gap.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">5)  Attachment with Moral and Spiritual Values</span></h3>
<p>Survey found that most of Muslim women want respect, peace, courage in their societies. It is true that they are more about moral values then money and sex. They see what women in west doing. They have live examples of them, working in office and also in home, 100% tired life with no gain. So they realize what is good for them.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">6) Religion: Islam</span></h3>
<p>Women from all the 8 predominant Muslim countries says that they want religion in their country. Many of them said that Islam and Shariya is the only or a source of legislation. So that&#8217;s mean they want to see Islam playing role in their society. See a graph to understand in details what Muslims think about Shariya as a law.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When first that title clicked in my mind, I thought yes, this is really an interesting topic to share with my readers, but when I started search about this, my search gone wide and wide. I want to clear in starting that we are not discussing what Islam told us, we are only discussing what Muslim women is looking for in their dream Muslim world. What they really think that these things are really important to make them happy.</p>
<p>I think only woman can answer this question in details, as I&#8217;m a male, so my words can&#8217;t really show you the inside story of their heart as they know better then me.</p>
<p>I just want to mention some of the interesting points that I took from this video below:</p>
<ul>
<li>Most women said they want to their country&#8217;s attachment with moral and spiritual values.</li>
<li>Most of them said the economic and political advancement in Muslim countries would not improved with the adoption of western values.</li>
<li>Most of the women think they should have right to vote without influence, work outside the home and serve in highest levels of government.</li>
<li> Muslim women didn&#8217;t see sex as priority because they think other issues were more pressing.</li>
</ul>
<p>So as in whole they want respect, peace, values as well as huge religion part as well. For more about what Muslim Women want in Muslim world, I sincerely refer you to this video. You should watch it to understand their feelings.</p>
