[quote=Anonymous]Let's talk a little bit about one prominent woman from the "days of ignorance".  Her name was Hind bint Utbah and she was the wife of Abu Sufyan, the leader of Mecca and Muhammad's bitter enemy.   Miss Hind didn't come to fame just for having a clitoris to die for.  She had many other talents.

As her husband's wife, she took a strong part in opposing Muhammad and his followers in Medina, fighting them with both words and swords.

In the battle of Uhud, as Muhammad's wives supported their community carrying water to the battlefield, Hind led a dozen women of Meccan aristocracy to battle, singing war songs and playing tambourines.  The Meccans won that battle and Hind - who lost a father and a brother to Muslims in previous wars - legend has it, has cut out the liver of a man who killed her father, as well as noses and ears of other fallen men.  Standing amid the fallen and wearing necklaces made of body parts, she stood on a rock, triumphantly proclaiming victory.

Poor, little, quivering chattel of jahiliya with no right to political opinions that Miss Hind was (not!).

Things didn't end very well for Hind. Muslims grew stronger, and by 630, took Mecca with little bloodshed.  Realizing that her husband has surrendered, Hind grew furious with him and shattered the statues of her gods.

Some sources say Hind, along with a few other women, was sentenced to death and saved herself by hastily converting to Islam (smart girl. I approve.)  She, along with other Meccans, had to give an oath of allegiance to Mohammed personally that's so good, I'm going to post it below.  Far from the new Muslim converts, scratching at the gates of Medina with their flocks of illegitimate children (as our poster would have you believe), begging for addmision, here's proud, unrepentant, arrogant Miss Hind talking down to Muhammad like a queen that she was:

Muhammad: “You shall have but one God.”

Hind: “We grant you that.”

Muhammad:“You shall not steal.”

Hind: “Abu Sufyan is a stingy man, I only stole provisions from him.”

Muhammad:“That is not theft. You shall not commit adultery.”

Hind: “Does a free woman commit adultery?”

Muhammad:“You will not kill your children by infanticide.”

Hind: “Have you left us any children that you did not kill at the Battle of Badr?”[/quote]
