[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Sexism was particularly prominent in Arabia [b]before the time of Mohammed (570?-632 AD).[/b] The Persian world was a very paternalistic society, and females were generally seen as an undesirable burden to a family struggling to survive. A common proverb held that it was "a generous deed to bury a female child." [b]Nevertheless, the Koran, which collected the writings of Mohammed, introduced reforms that included the prohibition of female infanticide. Mohammed outlined the wrongfulness of infanticide in various sections of his holy scripture. He asked, with censure ' for example, how would a father account for his actions, "When the female child that had been buried alive shall be asked for what crime she was put to death?"[/b] "

You misread. If they were spoken as if they were the one, different words would not have been used: "Arabia" and "Persia." She is merely talking about how prominent sexism was in [b]different muslim cultures. At that time, the Arabian and Persian were the two large Muslim cultures. [/b]Nice try attempting to trash a well known archeologist just to advance your false statements about Islam though. [/quote]

Muslim cultures BEFORE the time of Mohammed?  Uh-huh.

She did not say they were Muslim cultures before Muhammad. She merely referred to the two large paternalistic and sexist cultures that are well known to be the two large Muslim cultures today.[/quote]
