[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All 3 faiths, Judaism, Islam and Christianity and about subjugating women. They all preach against premarital sex

Wait, let me ask my female Episcopalian minister—no, she’s never preached against premarital sex.

yup and sex outside of marriage is a private subject, as in you cannot talk abut someone having sex outside of marriage unless you have  3 witnesses to actual penetrative sex, if you don't have the witnesses you are guilty of defamation and public indecency, if you live in an islamic state that is.  I grew up in a generally gossipy muslim community and I know that people must have extramarital sex but it is literally never mentioned b/c this belief is so strong, its very taboo to discuss anyone else's sex life. TBH, muslims who are really strict about abortion are those uneducated nut jobs who imitate the Christian Right, there has been a lot of religious innovation in Muslim fundamentalist circles and most of it is copying Christian evangelist movements since they are seen as powerful and successful. Or they are just cultist like the Taliban or Daesh or Jamaat e Islaami and they make up stuff according to their leaders' whims and have personality cults and totally out of mainstream orthodoxy.

Funny you mention this because the Al Arabiya and Al Jazeera clerics greatly admired the televangelists of 1970s and 80s American TV. I think they exceeded their inspirations because clerics had a huge influence on Middle Eastern morality while televangelists did not make the same impact here. They remained in the margins of American life.

Before the 70s, the hijab wasn’t even common in the Middle East outside of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. What happened is the clerics said it should be mandatory even though the Quran doesn’t mandate it[/quote]
