Islam: Harmless Cab Drivers or PURE EVIL?

[Abcdxxxx]

Scru - How else do you explain the poor treatment of women in Islamic states? Even Muslim's cite the Koran for the guidelines they put on women. Can you really say it's a coincedence?

The Koran calls menstruation an ILLNESS! According to the Koran, every woman with the ability to give birth becomes ILL on a monthly basis. Meaning a functioning woman is viewed in poor health, diseased, and sick...and in ancient times, an illness meant evil. I'll agree, parts of the Koran are taken out of context - not by me, but by the followers of Islam who use these words to oppress women....and the fact is, they do. As a religious duty. In parts of the world a woman is stoned for going out in public uncovered. It's not even the extremist act we'd like to think it should be. Not every Muslim beats and rapes their women.... but it's scary knowing that in places where these crimes are rampant and socially acceptable, it's the Islamic scriptures themselves that act as a guide, and it's the Koran they turn to when defending their actions.

Calling a woman "tillage" refers to them as property. Land is something you own. Look, put the Koranic debates aside, and realize that this stuff is being used to hurt women, even if it was never intended to.
