The Omnissiunt One;114200 Wrote:There's something suspect about the logic here.
Premise 1) Women have different naughty bits to men.
Premise 2) (from 1) Women are therefore different from men.
Conclusion: Therefore, women must wear sacks over their heads and men don't have to.
I didn't say anywhere that women are naughtier than men. There's nothing in my post which even implies that to be true.
The Quran clarifies that it is our piety alone which determines our status with the Almighty, not our gender or our cultural backgrounds, as it says:
"O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most noble among you in the sight of God is the most pious. Verily, God is All-Knowing, All-Aware" - (Surah 49:13)
