Talk:Islamic view of the Queen of Sheba

Muslim Women in Politics
If the Queen of Sheba submitted to Islam, does this mean women are morally allowed to become political leaders? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.44.47.85 (talk • contribs) 14:11, 11 June 2008

Considering the fact that the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be with him) first wife was a diplomat and leader of armies, yes--women in Islam have an equal status to men. Culture and religion are two very different things, I might add--though the Islamic world has a strong tradition of female leaders, and female imams are relatively common in places like India, Pakistan, and Africa —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.197.40 (talk) 06:42, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
