Sexual Discrimination

[Father-Ted]

Which religion has the worst record for sexual discrimination?

Sith, if you don't wish to appear to be stupid then think before you write complete nonsense.

Sandy, this is news to me, when did the heaveny house building scheme start? presumably in biblical times if Keyplus's link is to be believed.

I used 'corporeal' in the sense of, 'of the earth, earthy', as I'm sure you well know.
To be surrounded by 7, 70, or even 700 chattering virgins without any of the concomitant delights associated with female company might lend weight to Sartre's view that Hell is other people.

[naomi24]

The references made on this thread to a Muslim man’s expected reward in heaven speak volumes. It seems that, as on earth, heaven is all about men, and women remain the chattel even there.

Keyplus, //I will not talk about few small religions of the world where a wife has to die (burnt alive) when husband dies,//

I meant to add something about that last night because you are way behind the times. As this link confirms the custom was outlawed by India's British rulers in 1829 following demands by Indian reformers. What a pity Islam doesn’t follow suit and modernise.

With regard to your claim to have answered all the questions put to you, Birdie is quite right. You rarely do anything other than respond to questions with yet more questions. This thread demonstrates that, because still you haven’t answered the original question – and neither has Sith.

Sith, You, who claim to have studied all religions before opting for Islam really should have known that Hindu women are not expected to throw themselves onto their husband’s funeral pyre - and you’re not seriously telling us you believe the stuff in Keyplus’ link, are you? Within the last few posts here there have been two verifiable rebuttals of the lies that website promotes – and they resulted from just a quick look. If you want more, I can guarantee that finding them will be a very simple task.

em, i suggest you study islam more, simple as it can be.

naomi,

. one women did jump on the funeral pyre

apart from that, a lot of hindu women do kill themselves when their husband dies.

[sandyRoe]

all the infos here, as it says it has been banned numerous times and originates from a belief in one of their goddeses, so it is religious to them.

What we have here appears to be a competition where participants are scrambling to point fingers so as to draw attention away from their own rule book and declare competitors as the 'clear' victor.

[naomi24]

^^Ha ha! But with no real answers. Hard work innit! :o/

Sith, I suggest you study Islam more, 'simple as it can be'.

[keyplus90]

Sith - My advice to you is that just wait for someone who really is interested in knowing or talking about something or. You would never be able to convince few. Remember I said this twice now. I usually let these people win. Because I know that is not going to change the ground realities so why not make someone happy by giving up. After all I do not have time to waste. The only way you may teach Naomi about whether or not “Sati” still is going on in India or not is that you should take here to Rural India, convince her to marry a Hidu and then kill her husband. And when someone will drag her and hit her in the head before leaving here there to burn then she would now what women rights really mean.

[DaisyNonna]

Does it matter? All sexual discrimination is wrong. Wrong Wronger Wrongest. In other words, Not Right.

[jomifl]

Keyplus said this earlier;
'The only way you may teach Naomi about whether or not “Sati” still is going on in India or not is that you should take here to Rural India, convince her to marry a Hidu and then kill her husband. And when someone will drag her and hit her in the head before leaving here there to burn then she would now what women rights really mean.'
I think it says more about what is inside his head than he realises.

no jom, havent you even watched the video that was put up???

[naomi24]

Keyplus, going on the title of that video, the content falls significantly short of expectation. It’s a deliberate fabrication. Exactly what are you trying to prove? That the barbaric illegal practices of the backward people of another religion justify the barbaric practices – both legal and illegal - of the backward people of yours? For someone who has claimed many times to be highly educated, your attitude is truly perturbing.

Sith, I don’t doubt Jom has watched it – but from what you’ve said to him, the question is, have you?

[sammmo]

I'm not a religious man, but any religion that classes women below men is a stupid religion in my eyes.. That includes christianity and the muslims.. No man would be here without women and no women without men.. its as easy as that..

[sith123]

yes i have naomi, i would not ask the question if i havent, it is common sense.
