Any religion that requires total obedience without thought is not likely to produce people capable of critical thought, people capable of free and independent thought. |
Human beings have natural rights, whatever their sex may be. |
I dont see other religions stoning people to death, cutting off their clitoris or making them wear burqas. |
[There] is no defending this behaviour. |

Well, any religion that promotes lying to people in order to hide amongst them until your numbers grow to the point where their is enough of you to kick in every door and threaten conversion or cut off their head is not a religion, but a system of violence to which I will never respect. |
You and what polycentric army of several million highly motivated AK47-touting soldiers? (And that's not counting actual government militaries throughout the Muslim world, some of which have nukes and all.) When a weak society (i.e. a liberal democracy) goes up against a strong society, the strong one always triumphs.
Actually I think the Mongol hordes has a better claim to uniting the Eurasian landmass and they certainly were not Islamic. |
Then why did the science and technology, capitalism, industrialization, develop as they did in Western civilization and not in the Islamic world? |
Ever consider that it might be the religion itself which retards the economic growth of Islamic countries? |

Some argue that the Qur'an gives women the right to participate in public affairs as there are examples of women who took part in serious discussions and argued even with Muhammad himself.[3] In addition, during the Caliphate of Umar, a woman argued with him in the mosque, proved her point, and caused him to declare in the presence of many people: "A woman is right and Umar is wrong".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_political_leaders_in_Islam_and_in_Muslim-majority_countries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_political_leaders_in_Islam_and_in_Muslim-majority_countries)
Some Muslims argue that Muhammad's wife Aisha, who both took part in politics and served as a major authority on hadith, is an example of possible roles for Muslim women. Other Muslims would strongly disagree. (Aisha is seen in a darker light by Shi'a Muslims because she opposed Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law Ali.) Other examples of possible roles include Ume Warqa and Samra Binte Wahaib, appointed heads of market committees of Medina and Mecca by Umar, the second Sunni caliph. There are few other historical role models for Muslim women as leaders. Razia Sultana was the short-lived third major independent Muslim ruler of the Sultanate of Delhi in India and the Mamluk queen Shajarat ad-Durr ruled for a few years in Egypt. One more example of a Muslim female head of state is Soyembika of Kazan, who ruled the Kazan Khanate in the 16th century.

I wonder how this squares with the fact that there have been numerous Muslim female leaders and heads of state.

So far as trolls go Libman you really suck. You embody so many mental problems, even if this online life of yours is just an act.
I did actually have a conversation with a co-worker who is an Omam (sp?) as to why some Muslim women are forced to wear burqas and others here in the US simply wear a head scarf or only wear the head scarf to religious services? He told me that was totally a cultural difference and had nothing to do with the religion. Just like Amish are Christians and wear their distinctive clothing as a cultural expression of their form of Christianity. There is no rule that all Christians have to adopt Amish clothing styles any more than there is an Islamic law which requires women wear burqas.It squares the same way that Elizabeth could be queen of sixteenth century England while women were still very much second class citizens. Sometimes class overrides sex.Any religion that requires total obedience without thought is not likely to produce people capable of critical thought, people capable of free and independent thought.Human beings have natural rights,whatever their sex may be.

The point is even if Islam was just swell for its time, that counts for nothing now.

If half of all Muslims are male, then 785 million.
[...] Verse of the Sword aka Surah 9:5 explicitly tells people to kill someone if they don't believe what you believe, and this verse supersedes any writings he had about peace when he was a small-time ruffian in Medina, since the verse of the sword was written very late in his life. [...]
You seem to be completely lost here...
What does religion have to do with science? :?
I doubt that we would be in space if Muslims ran everything considering the refuse to believe that they are praying to an asteroid. So...something tells me science isn't their strong suit.

Producer Barrie Osborne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrie_M._Osborne) [IMDB] (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0651614/) cast Keanu Reeves as the messiah in The Matrix and helped defeat the dark lord Sauron in his record-breaking Lord of the Rings trilogy. Now the Oscar-winning American film-maker is set to embark on his most perilous quest to date: making a big-screen biopic of the prophet Muhammad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad).
Budgeted at around $150m (£91.5m), the film will chart Muhammad's life and examine his teachings. Osborne told Reuters that he envisages it as "an international epic production aimed at bridging cultures. The film will educate people about the true meaning of Islam".
Osborne's production will reportedly feature English-speaking Muslim actors. It is backed by the Qatar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar)-based production company Alnoor Holdings, who have installed the Muslim scholar Sheikh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheikh) Yusuf Al-Qaradawi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yusuf_al-Qaradawi) to oversee all aspects of the shoot. In accordance with Islamic law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depictions_of_Muhammad), the prophet will not actually be depicted on screen.
"The film will shed light on the Prophet's life since before his birth to his death," Ahmed Abdullah Al-Mustafa, Alnoor's chairman, told al-Jazeera (http://). "It will highlight the humanity of Prophet Muhammad."
The as-yet-untitled picture is due to go before the cameras in 2011. It remains to be seen, however, whether it will be beaten to cinemas by another Muhammad-themed drama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_about_Muhammad). Late last year, producer Oscar Zoghbi announced plans to remake The Message (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/oct/27/1) [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad,_Messenger_of_God#Remake), his controversial 1976 drama [BT] (http://btjunkie.org/torrent/The-Message-DVD-Starring-Anthony-Quinn-The-Story-of-Islam/3772bd5db5f28a0991989e947feb58bf56e0b1c8ee78) [IMDB] (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074896/) that sparked a fatal siege (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Hanafi_Siege) by protesters in Washington DC. The new version, entitled The Messenger of Peace, is currently still in development.

This video is stupid. It compares legal systems in pre-industrial and even pre-enlightenment societies (by European standards) with the modern societies of the 21st century.
Use of mutilation as punishment makes economic sense everywhere, from feral tribes of the Amazon to Papua New Guinea, up to the point where a more sophisticated justice system can be implemented, with a system based on restitution being ideal.
It predates Islam, and it doesn't correlate with Islam - you are far more likely to face physical punishment for theft in a poor and backward Pagan country than a wealthier Islamic one.
Whether this system of punishment is more cruel than throwing people for decades in prison is a purely subjective question, and one that can only be discussed on a case-by-case basis. I certainly would have more to fear from a socialist government that would throw me in prison for decades (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_and_Elaine_Brown#Year_2009_indictment.2C_trial.2C_and_guilty_verdicts_for_the_Browns) for (just Federal) tax resistance!!
