Is religion infallible? If so, then the religious laws that allowed this child's death are perfectly acceptable.

God only is infallible. Manmade religious systems are not. I have faith in God, not religion nor science.

I agree,
Unfortunatley, muslims see women as property-not human. I was invited to a muslim home for dinner one time. I was told not to speak, thank, look at or even acknowledge any woman at this home.

When I sat down to eat, it was just the men-no women, or children. After we were done eating, then, the children at what was left. After that it was the wives turn. Wierd huh?

That is true. In Asia like Chinese and other cultures has look down on women. Other countries like Pakistan and India are putting women down too. There has been no equality and freedom for women and girl children. The religion laws like Islam and Hebrew are hurting them very much and very dangerous for them to die. Jesus had tried to tell the crowd that they should not stone or whip them because of their difference as women. Men do that behind everybody's back, but not the women. That is why the men have the pleasure of seeing them get killed like wives, mistresses, daughters, and girl cousins. Women are never safe in their countries. :(
 
Even here right in our own backyard, women are not seen as an equal but rather inferior. I was BOILING two Sundays ago in my SS class and our SS teacher said that women MUST submit to men and that anything of women's opinion is not important to the men and he was dead serious. Oh I let him have it!

I reminded him that Eve was taken from Adam's rib not to be above him or beneath him but to support him and to be protected by his arm. He just looked at me like I had grown four eyeballs and six ears. He said "it is black and white in the Bible, women must submit to their husbands."

Then I said a woman shouldn't put up with all the crap and get little to no thanks in return for it. The women are always cooking the men their weekly breakfast at the church, when are the men gonna do something nice for the ladies outside of Mother's Day? If the ladies want to do something nice they have to get together in the women's ministry and do it themselves. I think if the men are going to get breakfast once a week then the men should be doing dinner for the ladies once a week as well. I told him I'm sick of this inferiority crap that women should submit and these desperate housewives are buying into it. It's not a 'worldly view' its one that Jesus would have accepted. Mary Magdalene was a woman and also His closest confidante. Now we have men pushing the women further and further away into the kitchen 'where she belongs'. This inferiority attitude. I then said what about Beth Moore? You claim she is not a preacher but a teacher. She studies the Bible, brings her interpretation and her lessons from it and shares it before a crowd that often contains men and women. The same damn thing a preacher does. The only reason she's not ordained is because she's got boobs and better plumbing, if I didn't know any better I'd say the men were jealous of her success. The only reason she's not going a step further is because if she does she loses her financial backing for her ministry.

Needless to say I ruffled some feathers and I've not been back since.

That guy needs a history lesson on Sexual Division of Labor.

He forget that men has to do their share by hunting for food and bringing it back home for wives to cook. Men were the hunter-gatherer and Women were the food processor. Men and Women are mutually dependent on each other to survive.

In modern time - men have to go to grocery and buy all the foods for wives to cook. If men make women do the food gathering and cooking... they are the weak and they wouldn't pass the Survival of Fittest test.

I'd say so. My dad does his job to gather food with my mom on weekend. I see lot of couples doing that too around here.

One can say that men were providing women the means of gathering food because men work full-time and women are full-time housewife. But as long as men and women are mutually dependent on each other and do their fair shares of jobs... that's ok.

but based on Dixie's post... I can see that that man is useless and does a very little work.

My husband always does his share of everything, including the gathering food, and did so always, even before I could not see.

I know most of the couples we know do the same.
 
And the one thing I don't understand is why men don't know how to take care of themselves like cleaning, cooking and paying the bills? They could have live on their own without women except to date women. Men don't need to depend on women to be their slaves. That is really horrible. Women have been taking care of themselves for years without men except to date men. But men seem not know how to handle being single or being bachelors. My father is the same way like them. He can not handle being alone and had married 5 times. That is what puzzle me. There is something wrong with this picture. :hmm:

It's their culture, but there needs to be a global standard for human rights that everyone adheres to.

Unfortunately, with 26% of the world population being Muslim, and 80% adhering to Sharia Law, this isn't likely.

To me, fatwas aren't the problem. Sharia Law is.

Here is another article on the situation. Apparently the father of the rape victim was also fined.:roll:

I could not agree more. And Americans really need to see these reports and think seriously about the things that happen when law is based on religious belief systems.

It is because of the way we socialize our male children. Often times in very subtle ways that we don't even realize. I find the psychology of gender really interesting.

How do you know that? How do you know about the faith anyone has unless they tell you about it?

The fatwa they carried out was a combination of man-made religion and their culture.

If it were just their religion, then followers of that religion would do the same thing, worldwide. But they don't, so it's also a strong cultural influence.
