And - risking to insult, sorry I´ll take that chance - people who do and STILL in the 21st century think that women are inferior I call backwards.

so you call christians backward?

 Dunno about the cloggy, but I think all religions are backward

 You can´t read! I call people who take a holy book from centuries ago still to letter backwards, no matter what religion. I didn´t say I call all religious people backwards, again no matter what religion.

I hope femme the christian missionary doesnt see this post

Fortunately societies in Europe and North America are first to fight for men-women equality. There even are female priests in some denominations. I do hope Muslim-dominated societies will soon follow.

Of course both Koran and Bible were written when things were not the way they are now and what they contain speaks of backward state of affairs. Were they written by God they´d be up-to-date nowadays as well

I find it a bit strange that you brought the example of the Bible,more precisely New testament in your post Tami as a reference book that states ´clearly facts´ of women´s inferiority.I hope that you know that the bible itself was written not at one sitting and it was written by over 40 authors,even church authorities at that time had problems what to include  in it.Translating texts which were finally authorized also caused a lot of confusion,epistles´s letters that you quoted were not also concerned as true ones at first.

Christianity is based on belief in Jesus as God´s son and it has many denominations ,which have their own bibles so I am not sure which Bible you are reffering to.And the Bible´s language is mostly symbolic,that is why so many interpretations.

Anyway belief is more like  a hunch,religions are set of rules made by men ,so grow up and notice the fact that women were not created as inferior beings as you try to impose in the name of holy books.

I do find this Islamic thing quite confusing when there appears to be so many interpretations of how Muslims should live, from the extreme of the Talaban and terrorists (those I would call fundamentalists) and those who like to take a drink and have a couple of women on the go (I would call modern Muslims).  And how the religion is intepreted from one country to another.

If you are either a Muslim or not a Muslim, how come there is such a deviation from one extreme to the other?  I am truely confused

Good point Libra

it refers to christianity as well.....but I am truly confused with another thing, how we can claim that God is a man knowing nothing about him/her  only using imaginative pictures ???

 Well known quote from the feministic seventies: When God created men, she was only joking....
