I personally don't trust any reports and studies that comes from Non-muslims. How do we trust them when they lie so much? Whether be muslims or non muslims I can't trust a liar.

It is common experience and observation that there are more women than men in the world. Look around yourself, look in your family.

There is hadith that towards the end of times, there will be 1:50 ratio btw men and women.

It won't happen overnight will it?

Respected Brother, Assalaamoalaikum

World statistics regarding populations in most countries indicate that the ratio of men to women is almost 1:1 - there are very few exceptions. In my country, the ratio is 1:1.

In most countries, these statistics are based on censuses that are carried out in general once every ten years. These are actual data, not based on individual observations. Why would anyone, muslims or non-muslims wish to manipulate such data?

I personally don't trust any reports and studies that comes from Non-muslims The nationality / belief of a historian, scientist, archaeologist, is immaterial when it comes to research and the subsequent reports / studies published. Both among muslims and non-muslims there are people who are paid to write something or who write to justify their own goals and / or beliefs or the goals of their respective governments. The aqeeda issue amongst muslims illustrates perfectly this point. But there is a majority that do research and publish their works in the interest of their subject / field only.

The best research / studies are from non-muslim scholars for the very simple reason that they have been trained to think, reason and use their logic. Muslims have been trained to act like parrots - exception made for those muslims who have had a secular education.

I, personally, have learnt a lot from non-muslim scholars; most of my teachers from primary school to university have been non-muslims, and I have a lot of gratitude for them. They taught the muslim that I am in the same way that they taught non-muslims.

Brotherly yours
