Women have supported themselves before Islam and during Islam just fine.  I think a really good way not to create large numbers of women left behind would have been not to kill their husbands, fathers and uncles.  But hey, if you think the only way to take care of them was to usurp their right to their bodies, who am I to argue?

(There ARE ways of taking care of women without sleeping with them, you know.)[/quote]

[b]Ahhhh…there were many ways of women supporting themselves in 600 AD, you say? And many did support themselves too? But you just can't, to save your life, think of those ways right now though? Supreme bs answer. [/b]

Muhammad's first wife was a rich lady.  Weren't there business women? Tradeswomen? Property owners? Women from rich families? Come now.[/quote]
Besides, you say this like their fathers, husbands and brothers just dropped dead from a sudden bout of flu.  There were dead at wars that Muslims participated in, both defensively and offensively.  Might there have been fewer widows if the Muslim empire didn't feel the need to expand?[/quote]

[b]Yes, Muhammad's first wife was a rich merchant. And so your logic goes something like this -- Muhammads first wife was a rich merchant, therefore all women in 600 AD were as well. Is that it? 
And to add, male guardians of women died only from Muslim murderers. There was no such thing as Christian crusaders who murdered anyone, though. Only Muslims murdered and left women orphans and widows. Is that your logic? 
I just want to make sure DCUMers can see the inner workings of your mind.[/b][/quote]
My logic is that sleeping with their owners, frequently the very same people at whose hands their husbands died, wasn't the ONLY way women could support themselves. [/quote]

Christian-Muslim wars were brutal and bloody in those days as both were fighting for the right to rule. The wars left too many widows to be married off to only single men. These women often had no way of supporting themselves. Thus, they were left to die or to be sold into slavery. This was the way of life back then.[/quote]
