If we only look at traditional interpretations then yes, there would be a problem. But there are so many other interpretations that give me hope.

And if God asks you for a pencil, you go and get him a pencil. And if God says "dont put sugar in my tea" you don't put sugar in his tea.<br /><br />And so if God says: "give women half of what you give a man" then thats what you do. <br /><br />I mean - it is clearly and expressiy stated in a "perfect book" <br /><br />God puts women in second place - half the inheritance of man, half the value in testimony and beats for disobedience. You can try and make it better as much as you like Cairo, but thats what it says I'm afraid, and to see it another way you need three hundred more books, two thousand debates, 30 campaigns and a miracle if you expect people to not obey "the perfect word of God"<br /><br />You gotta get real Cairo. It's like saying "eat pig" or something like that...you cant.<br /><br />If its expressly stated in the Quran then thats the way it is.Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840296267007752569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573368687554384299.post-38033650086685560232010-02-26T10:27:57.531+02:002010-02-26T10:27:57.531+02:00I really have to read some of his books!

I also don't believe that different verses cancel each other out, but that we're supposed to look at all of the verses on a topic to get the idea - i.e. the ones regarding alcohol. <br /><br />What's even worse is when certain verses are picked apart, and only half of a verse is quoted, out of context.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573368687554384299.post-38378722583683280852010-02-26T01:36:59.123+02:002010-02-26T01:36:59.123+02:00Muslim + Feminist - Hadith + following message of ...Muslim + Feminist - Hadith + following message of the Quran as a whole <br /><br /> = equality and justice for all.<br /><br /> Where are all my male Muslim feminists??!
