[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS: If you think women in Muslim countries are never in financial hardship after the divorce, you're blind.[/quote]

Stay focused, this discussion is not about rotten people who use religion for their own ill purposes, its about what life is like for people in a TRUE islamic state. In true Islam, women do not suffer great hardship after divorce. They are cared for by male relatives or the State.[/quote]
And I understand some women find that sort of thing attractive. I personally would find it utterly demoralizing to be treated like a child. Furthermore the comment about financial hardship post divorce in the west refers to practice, not religion, so if seems perfectly fair to compare western reality with Muslim reality, not Muslim ideal.[/quote]

Well I have to compare it to western practice, not religion, because there is no Christian or Jewish state here to compare the  Islamic state to! So by your logic, if we should be comparing Muslim reality to other realities, then lets look at the "realities" other rules and socieities:

- German Hitler slaughtered more Jews than any other leader or any other country. Is it realistic to say Germans are all racist? Is it realistic to say all Germans are like  Hitler? 
- Muslim attacks increased from 300+ attacks per year to 1500+ attacks per yr after 9/11 in the US. How many realtistic assumptions can we make from this? Lets see…Americans are hateful toward Muslims? Americans are hateful toward Islam? Americans are stupid because they believe all Muslims think lke the 9/11 attackers?
- David Koresh was a murderer/ evangelical Christian. How many realistic conclusions can we make from that? All evangelicals are murderers? All evangelicals are violent? All evangelicals are extremist? Well on this last point, the Pentagon seems to think they are. lol

So you see, it is unwise to look at extremists who represent the fringe of Islam and rely on them for your own understanding of Islam. They have hijacked my religion. I don't ever remember learning their kind of "Islam" in my sunday school as a child.
