refuting misconceptions:1-women in Islam

[Scented Nectar]

each region or a country have the good and the bad you must see a religious muslim familly who applies the Quran to know the difference regarding how we are supposed to deal with women regardless of culture there is a lot of people applying Islam in their lives and they are so happy and those are the people that will make you know the difference and also you can know if you read the Quran and search by yourself as the media have no reason to show you the good side of the muslims who are following their religion and of course you will suspect the credability of muslim sources

The 'good' in most of the islam run countries would be considered quite 'bad' in modern countries where no individual religions are allowed to dictate the laws, most laws that is, since there are still a few remaining ones, but most are gone.

You want me to only look to the koran or muslims to see the good side, but I have. For instance, you have presented the things that the koran says about women, but all of it has been shown to be not good at all, quite bad much of the time even. I have no reason to look further if that is the best you can present.

As for muslims, the only ones I know are living free and not practicing the religion. So, let us look at ones who say they ARE practicing it. There are many many cultures and countries, with millions and millions of people who say this. Hmm, looks pretty bad there too. Where is all that good? Maybe it does not matter to your religion whether life on earth is good because you believe in a magic afterlife where your personality goes after your body rots. Maybe that's why your so called religion of peace, like all the other religions out there, has totally failed at real peace and happiness here on earth. There is no afterlife, Mo. I think it's horrible that you have been taught that there is one, and that it has a bribery/threat system. Heaven is the bribe, and hell is the threat. They are not real, but they scare people a lot, especially if they are taught about them when they are young. Young people usually believe what they are told when the person telling them believes it too. It often guides what they believe as adults and what they teach their children.
