True. We do not live in an intellectual vacuum. By 'intellectual' I mean to include the moral values that we create and instill into our society. Without religiously based values, we would still find other justifications, such as biology where the man is physically superior to the woman, to place one sex one level above the other. So yes...It is intellectually dishonest to deny that religious values have no influence.
You can 'slam' Christianity for it being influential in many atrocities throughout history, such as the legal subjugation of women or slavery. But in the end, what is or is not legally sanctioned matter. And polygamy is illegal.
That is your judgment, on the contrary i can put forth the same argument that you didn't grasp the essence of my words.
yes they got away with murder just like the FALN in America, right? so was that Islamic as well? , Okay now even if we say that they used Islamic law then who let them use it in such a way when the (Parents) killers were represented as victims to be in a position to pardon???? because if every one knows that they are the ones who hired the hit man then they are they ones responsible for her death, right?. so where in Islamic law do u find these injunctions that get your loved one assassinated and then pardon the killer? So its our own corrupt system which makes sure that such Islamic injunctions should only be used to justify their actions, P.S i don't think one has to have a doctorate in Islamic Jurisprudence to understand these simple logic's.
and it is allowed to have 4 wives only when you can financially support them and do jistice with each of them.
Do not care.
Of the Abrahamic religions, none can truly be 'blamed', as in sole or main cause, of any ills in any society.
But it was only recently that Saudi Arabia had its first woman airliner pilot...
The point here is that the greater the level of influence of any factor, be it religious values or secular ideas, that is present in any particular legislation aimed at any sex, the greater the attention that factor will attract. Is it any wonder that where the burqa, the chador or the jihab is legally sanctioned for women, that society (not country) has problems at competing against the society that has no such legal sanctions? Rape may be illegal, but if women is considered chattel by men and has greater legal sanctions placed upon them, then it is pointless to focus upon the 'good' that rape is illegal while the woman is supposed to cover up else she can be beaten, either by the man of the house or by government agents tasked specifically for that. Why is it that we can have an Eileen Collins and plenty of 'Hanadi Zakaria al-Hindis' in our society?
I think you should watch those videos posted to you. They have the answers. Just bother please.
The problem with 4 husbands in logical terms will be who is the father of the child. Whose name will he/she carry? Ofcourse DNA tests will solve the mystery but that raises a very important question, why are the religion for then?
We muslims take it as a way/guidance of life.
P.S i think i should clear it before any one ask. Islam does not allow to have sex with all of 4 wives altogether, if you know what i mean
