All I said was that those three religions are patriarchal, and a lot of people erroneously take it too far. That's all I said! I was making no assumptions about ivi0nk3y's position or relationships with women. I was only stating that one should expect some gender bias from anyone who is a firm believer in those three faiths.

And having been raised a Christian, this I did not learn from TV. We did actually have quite a few sessions where we contrasted our (correction: 'their') beliefs with those of mainstream Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Despite what I may have said about islamic terrorist organizations or other such things, I'm not COMPLETELY ignorant of Islam and it's more basic principles.

lol. No no... I didn't say you said that about muslim countries. I'm just pointing that out to you to show you that Islam may believe that it's our duty to raise a family and have children but thats about it. It still leaves freedom for women! that was my point!

And yeah, thats what i mean. A believer of those 3 faiths doesn't imply what you've said. It doesn't imply bias views on women in our society!

And i didn't imply you were ignorant, though reading it now i do see why you think that. I'm sorry about that. What i was trying to say is that for you to understand exactly what Islam is about, you'd have to study it well. Not just some lessons here and there from school, or just a little checking on Wiki etc...


EDIT: anyway, i think we should move on from the religion as i thinkt his thread has turnt quiete interesting and i'd hate to see it shut down! Again, sorry for seeming a little "in your face"... reading it back now, it does seem a little agressive!
