For me it is more important that those women have the chance to function in society for 100% even if it is only possible with the banning of the burqa. All this comments about tolerance...how far does it go? Is it strange that in Western European countries the people are developping a fear of the growing islam community in their countries? It is common to read stories of a women who got killed by her husband because she did not want to marry him and said she don't love him....Great that the Belgian government says it is wrong...But why does the islam community says nothing about it? If an cartoon of mohammed is on tv they come on the street almost would declare a war but if an islam women got killed because she did not want to marry him...They say nothing about it? What is the message the islam community then gives to their children? It is okay to kill your wife but if someone makes a cartoon about Mohammed then you should start a rampage? Also nice illustrated in this vid: |
I agree, women always get mistreated in many religions. I've never understood it, I've often found it sickening. I also find the treatment of homosexuals by religions to be appalling and disgusting. Even today these are two major problems that dog the world that we really should have grown out of.
Much of the "reasoning" for the mistreatment of women and homosexuals comes from the book of Leviticus, and the teachings of the book extends across Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is by far and away one of the most bat shit crazy things ever written, the book is just pure intolerance and violence.
Here's what it says about women and homosexuality.
Taken from Leviticus 27
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation.
3 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
7 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Taken from Leviticus 18
22 Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Teken from Leviticus 20
13 If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; (WTF!!!) their blood will be on their own heads.
These few verses have essentially been the reasoning behind untold suffering. The thing is the rest of the book makes other claims that are just plain outrageous, things like you can't wear clothes made form two different cloths, the daughters of priests should be burned for having sex, slavery is encouraged and you have to kill a whole menagerie of animals and desecrate their corpse just to prey (doves, turtles, bulls, the lot). Quite frankly the book of Leviticus should just be renamed "The book of violence and intolerance"
I actually get really angry just thinking about the book of Leviticus. Sorry, I'll calm down now.
