Gotta love backwards cultures. We (as in the modern world) shouldn't be giving these countries technology until they modernize their culture as well....at least in my opinion. Muslims can't say anything about Muhammad's word, cars didn't exist when he was alive (so he couldn't have had any opinion on the matter). And yes, Islam is obviously the cause behind this problem, as the woman was arrested for defying a 'religious edict'. To call a spade a spade, this is some serious misogyny being justified by religion.
Fortunately the Middle East is going to be rapidly westernized by things like the internet, television, etc. Islam needs to adapt to rapid cultural changes (like Christianity has), otherwise it's going to be left behind in the dust by cultural progress. Many Muslims live in the modern world, and they managed to adapt and keep their faith. Who knows, perhaps atheism might dominate the Middle East in 50-100 years due to Islam's inability to adapt—time will tell.
allah approved misogyny is one of many severe problems with islam which is dangerous no matter how it is packaged...
ReplyDeletethe twin fogs of political correctness & ignorance must be dispersed before western society better understands this menace. even a brief review of islamic theology & history quickly exposes the deadly roots of this evil ideology.

islam is a horrible ideology for human rights
5 key things about islam
1. mythical beliefs - all religions have these (faith) because its part of being a religion: having beliefs without proof until after the believer dies. the problem is people will believe almost anything.
2. totalitarianism - islam has no seperation of church and state: sharia law governs all. there is no free will in islam: only submission to the will of allah as conveniently determined by the imams who spew vapors to feather their own nests. there are no moderate muslims: they all support sharia law.
3. violence - islam leads the pack of all religions in violent tenets for their ideology & history: having eternal canonical imperatives for supremacy at all costs and calling for violence & intimidation as basic tools to achieve these goals.
4. dishonesty - only islam has dishonesty as a fundamental tenet: this stems from allah speaking to mohamhead & abrogation in the koran which is used to explain how mo's peaceful early life was superseded by his warlord role later.
5. misogyny - present day islam is still rooted in 8th century social ethics: treating females as property of men good only for children, severely limiting their activities, dressing them in shower curtains and worse.
conclusions ??
there really are NO redeeming qualities for this muddled pile of propaganda.
islam is just another fascist totalitarian ideology used by power hungry fanatics on yet another quest for worldwide domination and includes all the usual human rights abuses & suppression of freedoms.
