Just like to point that out. Secondly, in many Christian sects, women and men have equal rights. Thirdly, what "convenience" are you talking about? Catholics don't have much real political power, they don't have an army, I don't exactly see what "convenience" you are talking about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-11322317873635988182007-11-16T12:34:00.000-08:002007-11-16T12:34:00.000-08:00That is the law that says women can be stoned to d...<I>That is the law that says women can be stoned to death for pretty much anything.</I><BR/><BR/>This came up on another blog, and it was pointed out that a woman cannot be stoned to death, if she is a virgin.<BR/><BR/>However, that matter is easily dispensed with...<BR/><BR/>d, I don't think the Muslims we are hearing and reading about in the news are paying attention to Wiki. <BR/>Just like Christianity, they are a misogynistic group and use their holy words to their convenience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-45310655986798832492007-11-16T12:02:00.000-08:002007-11-16T12:02:00.000-08:00Even though certain Muslims take their religion to...Even though certain Muslims take their religion to an extreme, a lot of what you posted here is incorrect.<BR/><BR/>Sharia (Arabic: شريعة transliteration: Šarī‘ah) is the dynamic body of Islamic religious law. The term means "way" or "path to the water source"; it is the legal framework within which the public and some private aspects of life are regulated for those living in a legal system based on Muslim principles of jurisprudence and for Muslims living outside the domain.<BR/><BR/>Sharia deals with many aspects of day-to-day life, including politics, economics, banking, business, contracts, family, sexuality, hygiene, and social issues.<BR/><BR/>There is no strictly static codified set of laws of sharia. Sharia is more of a system of devising laws, based on the Qur'an (the religious text of Islam), hadith (sayings and doings of Muhammad), (sayings and doings of of the early followers of Muhammad), ijma (consensus), qiyas (analogy) and centuries of debate, interpretation and precedent.<BR/><BR/>Before the 19th century, legal theory was considered the domain of the traditional legal schools of thought. Most Sunni Muslims follow Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki or Shafii, while most Shia Muslims follow Twelvers (Hallaq 1997, Brown 1996, Aslan 2006).<BR/><BR/>I got it from Wikipedia, but the word "stone" never appeared, killed only in relation to a Muslim blaspheming against Allah, and death in relation to adultery. I agree that this law is very harsh, but there was nothing there about a woman being stoned to death for being raped. Adultery counts for both men and women, and there has to be 4 witnesses.<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to correct you on your facts that you got wrong, not debate whether this is right or wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
