Question about female worth in islam.

[WesOlsen]

Remind me again what the usual punishment is for apostasy in Islam? It's good to see how tolerant and respectful a religion is when we consider the way it treats those who have left the faith. You weren't born a Muslim, you were brainwashed as one from a young age, and by insisting that you will die a Muslim is your admission that you aren't interested in seeking truth at all, merely maintaining a dogmatic and irrational belief system despite overwhelming evidence demonstrating otherwise.

Again I reiterate:


If Muslim countries actually kept records of literacy rates, it would be very interesting to see the proportion of women who can (or rather, cannot) read and write. UN estimates for countries such as Afghanistan are pitifully low, and even the wealthiest of the gulf states are some of the most oppressive. Why do you subscribe to an ancient religion that is based on a glaringly obvious fraud and that treats you like a piece of shit? Do you not think it coincidental that your religion is tailored towards archaic notions of the family unit and gender functions, and that it was written by a MAN? How long can you go on telling yourself that your religion actually places any value on you other than your reproducing and cooking potential?

In my home, my partner (a woman) is the bread winner (she is a biomedical scientist). I also do most of the cooking in the home. Normally this doesn't even merit discussion because it's not unusual, I don't even think about it normally because clearly it causes no problems. With capitalism aside, does it not strike you as bizarre that even the wealthiest Muslim country doesn't even come close with its economic or cultural development to most European or other developed countries? Employment rights, gender rights, opportunities in the business and in the arts - The Islamic world lags behind in every field, and has made next to no contributions to the world of science or medicine in decades. Don't you realise it's because you let men run your shit for all the wrong reasons. You ARE oppressed.
