Who is asking you to agree or love Islam? Just be careful in interpreting the Quran if you can't read it. And study Islamic history before making judgments.

If all the men were asked is to pledge their loyalty, they could have fornicated left and right and even in front of the Prophet himself. If your assertion is that these acts were not prohibited for men, they could have done that. Why didn't they fornicate freely then? Because it WAS expressly forbidden for men too.[/quote]
My assertion isn't that these acts were not prohibited to men. My assertion - which you weren't able to disprove - is that there is no Quranic evidence men were asked to make these promises as a condition of making a pledge.  We can't deduce what must have happened in the absence of Quranic evidence.

You seem to fall back on the argument that since fornication is prohibited for all, there was no need to ask men to re-promise that.  In that case, there was no need to ask women to do that, either, since presumably Muslim women would know that.  Yet they were asked to pledge that, and men weren't - as a condition of pledge.

There is clearly a mental disconnect between us. The oath for women was in response to a new situation: married women leaving husbands with illegitimate children and saying they wanted to be or were Muslim and seeking admission into the tribe. It warranted an oath for them. Men were not arriving with 2-4 illegitimate children seeking admission into the tribe. Do you see the different situations now?[/quote]
