Religions seem to be riddled with claims, made largely by some of their adherents, which do not appear to be borne out by the evidence from the original sources of those religions. Islam is no exception. One comes across a good number of those claims not only in Muslim writings, but also when interacting with Muslims in general. Those misleading claims are not only significant because they are not backed up by scriptural evidence, but also because they can have a negative impact on relationships between individuals and communities across the globe. Let’s now look at some beliefs that numerous Muslims hold in spite of their lack of corroborating evidence in the Quran or hadith (sayings by Muhammad), starting with the matter of democracy and that of female equality.
