Are there any religions or cults that you just do not understand? With in reason.

Islam. Is it the eastern version of Mormonism where wannabe alpha males marry submissive wives who want to be abused with their misery condoned by the religious text?

How about the treatment of women wanting to be equal to men, homosexuals wanting to lead a life of dignity and adulterers expressing their marital dissatisfaction in Islam? Why is their misery and death by stoning accepted by the religion while any military movement by Israel is considered justification for jihad?

I have never understood Islam and would love to understand what I consider are gross, unapologetic hypocrisies from those who prescribe to the Islamic faith.

You are aware that christianity was like that not too long ago, right?

It still is. The words in the bible haven't changed. I actually respect modern islam more than modern christianity. Modern christianity doesn't even resemble the christianity outlined in the bible. People just take whichever bits and pieces they like and call it christianity.

According to christianity

- Women are not allowed to speak before the congregation.

- Women must cover their heads in the presence of christian males.

- Homosexuality is condemned.

People forget that christianity started out as a CULT.

Not really, those are all from Torah books, the old testament and jewish writings, which has very little to do with Christianity. Christianity is founed upon New Testament. Christianity is based upon teachings of Christ
