[quote=Anonymous]Different PP here.

Frankly, I think it's a great thing that some Muslim writing in 2014 wants to quote other Muslims, who wrote in 1982 and 1986, to support a contention that Islam gives voting rights to both men and women.

This is exactly in keeping with the spirit of "reformation" that many here are calling for Islam and Muslims to undertake. It's also consistent with an idea that Islam's ideas are applicable to all ages and not just limited to the religion's very first days.

However, Muslima is still absolutely wrong, and she's still ridiculous. Muslima is slapping a modern interpretation on bai'ah, which had a very different context 1400 years ago. As Muslima herself has said repeatedly, it's all about the context. Muslima cannot possibly claim that Islam gave women -- or men -- voting rights 1400 years ago based on that passage about baiah which, as another poster pointed out, was originally about dealing with members of warring tribes.  Muslima needs to stop posting on DCUM.[/quote]
