^you cant compare the sexism in the church to the sexism in islam... sexism in christianity only streches as far as church on sundays, islam the sexism is an ongoing thing every-day...how is it the women have a choice ? they HAVE to wear a veil, they are comfortable with it, just like a dog can get used to wearing a flea collar, sure its weird at first, but then conditioning allows it to forget ! so why dont they make it optional ? i am sure that over 50% of women would stop wearing it if they werent punished for it in any way...

If you spent the time in analysing and researching the Qur'an and Islam, you come to know that what many of these countries enforce upon their people, is totally against the teaching's of Islam. But the fact remain's that many people in the west only get one view of Islam and that is the totally wrong view. Like I said, if you research the Qur'an you would come to know that what happen's in these nation's has nothing in relevance to Islam.
The treatment of women in some countries that are predominantly Muslim, in my opinion, is totally against what I percieve to be the teaching's of Islam and the Qur'an. I think many of the ruler's use Islam as an excuse to what they do, just like people against Islam, they take verses out of context to use for their own means. I once saw a documentary a couple of year's back, which showed treatment of women in Pakistan and when questioned and asked "Are you allowed to do this ?", the people said verses in the Qur'an that did not even corellate to their excuse, that show's that many of these so called "Muslim's" have a weak view of Islam. But the world is like this and we cannot do much about it, this thing's occur everywhere and we cannot really quell it. I think we should live our own lives the best we can and voice view's against such atoricities and let the judging be done by Allah or whoever you follow.
Well, firstly, you are allowed to have as many wives as you want but you must provide for each wive equally and treat them equally, if you cannot do this then you should not marry many wives. Like I said it is all about providing for them.
Ok onto the second point, it is true that in the Western World the main religion, although declining, is Christianity. But if you base that on you're way of life then can we say the Bible teaches:Hardcore PornFornicationDivorceAdulteryCrimeAnd so on. Like you said yourself the West has a predominantly Christian way of life so we can assume, just like you are assuming about Islam and the Qur'an, that Christianity and the Bible teach this. What type of life would I like to live ?Well, I would like to live under the true and proper Islamic law and not the extreme and distorted law of many people, I think society as a whole would benefit, but this is my own opinion. Having said this, I still respect and admire the western way of life due to free speech, democracy etc. But Islamic Law is highly unlikely going to going to be prevelant in Western Society so I just liv emy life as best I can and be judged on the last day.
