[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I repeat, Islam gave women the right to vote over 1400 years ago, it is a fact! You are doing a wonderful job confusing ISLAM with MUSLIMS. [/quote] Oh my little scholar. You are endearing in your righteousness. How wonderful Islam could have been! If only Muslims would stop interfering! What a fabulous system! Too bad it didn't work anywhere. These damn people. [/quote] Don't be a condescending ass. One does not need an Islamic state to practice Islam successfully. As a result, Muslims practice freely here in the US, Canada, and many nonMuslim countries. The vast majority of Muslims live happily, however, in their Islamic states. [/quote] I didn't say anything about an Islamic state. I made a pointed comment that it seems ironic to praise Islam while discounting Muslims. It's a very peculiar system that works well on paper but fails whenever it is implemented by actual people. That Muslims practice freely in the US and Canada says nice things, primarily, about the US and Canada. You have no idea how happily the vast majority of Muslim live. And there are no Islamic states in existence presently. You must be confusing them with Muslim-majority states.[/quote] Good grief. What are you talking about? How can I not know the state of Muslims when I am a Muslim and how can I not know their level of satisfaction with their Islamic state if I lived in a Muslim country at one time? The better question is, how could you ever know? Are you Muslim? Did you live in a Muslim country before? No? Then sit down and certainly do not speak for Islam or Muslims. Systems work well on paper and in practice providing its not influenced by wahabi Islam. Equality doesn't work well in all regards in this country but the idea is quite nice. The abolishment of slavery to eradicate discrimination was a monumental achievement but did it really outright stop discrimination? The frailty of human nature is one impediment to advances. Islam is a remarkable and beautiful religion. It does not condone terrorism. It permits self defense. It does promote equality btw men and women, but not your western definition of equality, but an equality that is measured by the value of rights afforded. Different rights can still have equal value. In Islam we pray five times a day, before sunrise, midday, late afternoon, before sunset, and just before typical bedtimes. So we are asked to take five minutes to reflect on God throughout our busy day. We abstain from food and water during Ramadan from sunrise to sunset. It makes our will stronger, our hearts more soft, and helps us to remember the needy. It does not impose death for apostasy. Any country imposing death for apostasy is in the wrong. Apostates who have committed treason are treated with less forgiveness, however. You need to stop using extreme cases and presenting it as mainstream Islam. What do you derive from trashing Islam?
