About the Koran's stating that women have equality, can you give a quotation or chapter and verse?
i'll get right on that, as soon as i can find my koran and my books under the morass of articles on other crap. hell, maybe i'll even finish my papers first. remind me. i'm serious. i just also have a hundred pages to write in the next month.
it seems that Muslims don't exactly live by their Koran.
nor christians their bible.
I should be prepared to wear something up to the neck and down to the wrists and a long skirt, with my hair covered of course, and that we would enter the mosque by a door set apart for women only and sit in a segregated area for women only.
modesty is commended in the koran. but even the prophet's favorite wife aisha refused to veil herself and was the pinacle of respected muslim woman. there is nothing in the koran about specific veiling procedures only that the bosom and private bits should be covered. precicely that women should draw their garments around them to cover themselves. all other discussion of hijab is in hadith. also, the extent of hijab varies greatly with local custom. ever been to indonesia?
i will check again for stuff on mosque segregation, but i'm willing to bet that it is again a matter of patriarchal custom and hadith. however, the old testament claims that women should never speak or sing in church because their voices are seductive and cause sin and our dear friend paul says that women should be quiet in church and if they want to learn something, they should ask their husbands.
also, you can quote all the websites you like. until you bother to read some actual theology and the damn book itself, i'll continue to assume your complete ignorance.
