The above, again, strongly suggests that you've mistaken a continuation or variant of a phenomena you believe to be political poison...for it's antidote. The creation of a progressive secular state may or may not have been possible in the 7th century middle east..... but that's neither here nor there, really, since it's manifestly clear that the people who wrote new new magic book had no such intentions.
Perhaps you could understand a pharaoh having hands on wombs as an expression of how a foreign oppressor had taken their women, one way or another, which is a recurring fear of ethnocentric ideologies all the world over, and at all times? I still enjoy your revisionist islam more than the good old timey stuff, but it's pretty apparent that you're applying a contemporary filter. As you put it, reinterpreting the message - a problematic concept for any number of reasons - but..I think, necessary, given the quality of those "truths" revealed to witchdoctors and warlords centuries ago. In a roundabout way, I think it's on-brand for abrahamism, as islam is a revision of a revision, which was a revision of some wholly different belief system itself. Perhaps, if it weren't so difficult for the faithful to apply white-out to their foundational texts, then abrahamism would not have lagged so far behind in progressive thought - and the gap between what is traditional or historic and what you believe would not be so wide?
