Muhammad's attitude towards women -gave 1/2 property rights, compared to men, to women -gave 1/2 standing in court to women -outlawed female infanticide -4 wife limit in the Koran, Muhammad said males had to be able to take care of them. Divorce is permitted. Easier for a man to divorce a woman. To divorce-the male has to say "I divorce you" three times Muhammad seemed to have broken his own rule of 4 wives at a time -he said women have a deficiency in their mind and women are not only stupid but they're not religious He described paradise as a pearl 6 miles wide with women chained up in corners ready to have sex with men. The Quran (Koran) means the recitation. Suras were given to Muhammad in seizure visions which were then recited to followers and written down. Muhammad was illiterate. Suras were collected after Muhammad's death and compiled by Caliph Uthman. Competing versions were burned. There is no or little organization in the books (suras) In the Koran you get God speaking, judgement on unbelievers, rewards to believers, a lot on afterlife, rehashed Bible stories. It says Jesus is born a virgin but not the Son of God and not crucified or resurrected. He's only a prophet. It also contained historical inaccuracies.
