Afghan Lawmaker refuses to look at HBO's Isobel Yeung during interview

if you went through the entire Women-Chapter in Quran you may find this :

a man who pay and sponsor his family entirely, has the privilege of making the final decision , but that can not be done by force or physical term.

-even when things get extremely messy, there are many opportunist to re-council ,There is an opportunity to come to one of the man from husband family and the wife can bring one of her family and they acts on arbitration between them. nothing seems to me as if there is a preference treatment given .


the 2nd point , a man always demanded to support his family , must work his butt to offer them a better life . the wife by no means required to share or support financially her family. but if she does, then her money considered a charity, which automaticlly means the husband has no upper hand on disciplinary issues , in another sense, those moral rights a husband has because he feeds his family ,stripped away once he no longer able to meet his obligation.



now consider this :

-raising a girl in Islam has a higher religious reward than raising a boy

-Righteousness and piety toward a person's parent is very important , but a mother get much higher reward in that sense .

-veil-niqab and such , most scholars cant agree on what the most appropriate , some thinks its historical -cultural things , some thinks it has religious implication , whenever that happened, a person free to do what she thinks its more appealing

 

I would't be surprised if American Muslims views aligned more with main stream Americans , historically speaking , it was always the case, where Islam in certain geographical places , influenced by the local culture and formed a distinctive practice.

similar to the difference between Blacks church and White Church, the image of Jesus comes in different skin tunes

 

religions would become obsolete if you can come up with a better explanation of why every-things in life happened this way, whats the meaning or lack of it ! why does't last , would't be there a happier ending?

or if you demonstrate how a flash USB mated to a tablet can give birth to tiny smart phones under infinitive time span

 

"humanoid aliens" as gods, you say?

Spoiler

 

What about the explanation for who created God?
.
Just because we don't have an answer for something doesn't mean "Therefore God".

 

Nope, that's already happened and religion is still a huge part of humanity, for understandable (education-related) reasons...

 

conflict of interest would create destruction, and if a God created by another God , that means one of them is not an actual one , and the 2nd took an early retirement , there must be one point when relative comparison comes to end
.

this means loop-back to point (nothing (empty value), but the question remains valid,
with just a faulty equation

 

Wut the hell are you blabbering about? Anyways, sometimes the correct answer is "We don't know yet". That's my point. It's okay to admit that we do not know something yet. And we aren't going to attribute every unknown to God.

 

A lot of scary stuff being said in this thread. Careful, its a slippery slope.

 

Yes... Yes she is an apologist. And she didn't say "This doesn't have anything to do with Islam", she stated "Islam teaches that men and women are equal". I would have been okay if she stated the former quote even though it is still disingenuous, but the latter is an EXPLICIT LIE. If someone stated that the Bible states that men and women are equal, I would make the same complaint. She explicitly lied or she is naive and misinformed.

Even Mathloom wouldn't state such obvious misinformation. That's Exiled/Ben Affleck level of apologetics.

 

This is pure Islamic whitewashing of history. Women in Nabataea (modern Jordan, the Sinai, and parts of Saudi Arabia [Al-Jawf and Tabuk] and Syria) were of higher status before Islam, with women able to own property and sign contracts independently.

There were SOME nomadic regions where infanticide occurred due to poverty and a lack of resources and wasn't always gender specific. Gender-specific infanticide may have existed to some extent, but because we can't determine motive from over a millennia afar, it's almost impossible to really know how common it was - in fact we don't know how common any infanticide was in Arabia. There are scattered reports from cultural Anthropologists that the practice continued amongst the nomadic Bedouin tribes up until the 20th century, but again, that doesn't necessarily translate to the pre-Islamic period.

It is no where near as black and white as you claim. Not even close.

 

Hmm do you realize how often you start by " we don't know" + " unknown"+ " can't be determined " then you end you post saying you KNOW!

That's laughable , who needs Wikipedia when facts can be pulled from AssPedia

 

'Cut her nose off' -- he would never say that if she would just have asked him about bacha bazi.

 

See right above - she clearly is saying not to use religion (Islam) as the scapegoat for why this man didn't make eye contact with her.

I agree with her. The issue isn't Islam, it's about men holding onto power.

 

I thought you were like 40 years old.

Why do you type like that and why do you bring up the alleged attractiveness of an individual as if it warrants any merit in this topic
