I've always wondered what islam thinks if I decide to have 4 husbands who are there to have sex with me whenever I want. I might also, maybe, have a bunch of male 'mistresses'. No one will be harmed and in fact lots of happiness will happen, so I wonder what allah thinks of this, since I am truly enjoying and cherishing this body he gave me.
Yes, Islam is quite the double standard religion. A man can whore around all he wants before he gets married (well, probably even after he gets married! What can his wife do about it?) and that's fine. But if an unmarried woman is the victim of a gang rape she has somehow "dishonored" her family and is deserving of being stoned to death!
I've been at Disney World and seen groups of Muslim families walking around. It's hot and humid but the women are wearing full body coverings! The only thing visible is their eyes and hands. The men, however, are nice and comfortable walking around in T-shirts, shorts and sandals. I want to ask these women why they tolerate being treated like chattel. But I'm sure they've been so brainwashed by their culture that they think they SHOULD have to wear these ridiculous coverings when out in public.
Religion.... stifling freedom since 10,000 BCE!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
