refuting misconceptions:1-women in Islam

[Purple Rabbit]

what do u mean by other beliefs?

Sunni, Shi'a, Ahmadiyya, Sufism, Salafi just to name a few...

These variations within Islam are not different beliefs, they deal with succession after Mohammad's death, and which traditions to follow. You can say about Islam what you want, but their fractions are remarkably more consistent than Christianity.

That adds up to the same. Christian denominations also are based on differences regarding which traditions to follow. The fact is that schism was present right after mohammed's death and dealt with differences of opinion what the man had said and how to interpret it. Mohammed left no written account himself and the koran was constructed from scattered anecdotal material in a century long process of claims and counter claims that followed his death. Islam indeed lacks the elaborate hierarchical structure that is typical for christianity but there are considerable differences throughout it's worldwide religious profession that can be clustered along denominational lines just as in christianity.
