But I can't say the same about the Quran. The sects of Islam that believe women are lesser, are the same sects that believe in Hadith books and sources other than the Quran.
Quote:2:228 Women who are divorced shall wait, keeping themselves apart, three (monthly) courses. And it is not lawful for them that they should conceal that which Allah hath created in their wombs if they are believers in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands would do better to take them back in that case if they desire a reconciliation. And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness, and men are a degree above them. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Quote:2:282 And call two witness from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not at hand, then a man and two women
Quote:4:11 Allah chargeth you concerning (the provision for) your children: to the male the equivalent of the portion of two females
Of course you are going to argue that this is ok, since it doesnt really discriminate, but only takes into account that women are "different" from men.
