"In 621, during the annual pilgrimage months, a group of twelve men representing both the main Arab tribes of Yathrib journeyed to Mecca and camped in a place called 'Aqabah on the outskirts of the city. As was his practice, Muhammad went out to meet people and happened upon their encampment. He greeted the men and proceeded to engage them in a conversation about religion." (EMERICK 110)
The Oath was:
"We pledge our Allegiance to the Messenger of God on the night... that we would not steal, commit fornication, kill our [unwanted female] children, nor engage in slander... (EMERICK 110)
If it wasn't for Islam female childrren would be killed. What I don't understand is, why some men are still killing women for things that they don't like or accept? When God has told them that it is a sin to kill someone. They claim that they do this all for God but are still commiting a sin over something that is foolish and pointless.
Muslim Women
OH YESS!!! We are going to learn about the true beauty of women behind their veils.
Does anyone know about the Islamic relgion other than what they hear in the media?
