[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same people that time and time again love to bash Christians are so quick to stand up for a religion that is the polar opposite of everything liberal. It's anti women, anti free speech, anti integration etc. I never understood this. [/quote]

That's simply not true. Islam's establishment is what put an end to the killing of female children in much of Arabia. [b]Also the end of the use of rape during war.[/b]

I know it's not perfect nor does it give women equal rights (in terms of inheritance). But the teachings establish dignity and respect for women. They are not practiced by Islamic governments. That is not a flaw in the teachings, but rather a flaw in humans and human establishments.

And there is no such thing as anti-integration in Islam. Nor anti-free speech. I just don't even know where you are getting this.[/quote]

Not exactly. Women prisoners of war become the "women of your left hand," which basically means slaves or concubines. He's supposed to receive her consent for sex. If she consents and subsequently has a child with her Muslim captor, then she is freed upon his death. [/quote]

Right hand, not left hand.

And no, there is no scriptural support for "needing her consent" for sex. [/quote]
