        Why you don't teach women to be leaders of the society and that they're able to improve their education?

        That was something horrible to watch as especially a woman. Hate the world making them believe good marriage is better than a good eductn.

        Those are all things in Muslim teachings so yes they need to include it in the program for the Muslim women taking the class.

        If he meant the Islamic interpretation of those ideas than he's right. If he's talking western ideas then he's wrong.

        This is very sad, instead of encouraging these women to be doctors, engineers, leaders of society, you teach them to be submissive.

        Many many great people have emerged from situations far worse than Somalia, so I have to say you have a very small mind.

        Society is what it is because of the stupidity of those in power. Marriage schools are endorsed by the government. If they endorse such.....
