Iran is a shi-ite country, not Muslim. This like getting an ex-Mormon from Utah to talk about Christianity.

good deflection, but we are talking about islams sexist attitudes here.

from an exmuxlim woman, so she should have a valid viewpoint

so go pray to your sexaddict prophet

If you were honest Sprint, then you would admit that you agree with the Islamic attiude for the most part.
Who gives a rats about women's ideals really? Do you?

What about the Sufi are they muslims or deviant heretics like those twelvers from Iran Falah?

What criteria do you use to determine which sects of Islam are muslim or non muslim Falah?

If it is haram for a muslim to kill another muslim does saying they are not muslims allow you to kill those from sects you dont agree with?

The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran-

Quote:

Chapter 1 article 1-14 General Principles Article 2-That the leadership be qualified in regard to the Quran and sunnah Article 4- Article 4 is immutable and the council of Guardians ensures that all articles of the Constitution as well as other laws are based on Islamic criteria. Chapter XI Judiciary Article 167 stipulates that judges must make use of Islamic sources and fatwas.

Ali Sina is another critic of Islam he is an ex muslim from Iran.

He quotes the Bukhari hadith which the sunni/salafi/sufi/wahhab all follow- the shia have different hadiths.

Why split hairs? ALL Muslim countries are pretty shi-te.

Do women care about men's ideals? Usually - no!

She's very brave, but will end up being murdered. Britain has a history of honor killings. The UK, by even allowing Sharia Law to exist has totally disregarded equal rights for women. It has taken centuries to become civilised and now it's come undone because of gutless governments predominantly comprised of males. Hopefully these unjust laws regarding females will be revoked.


Quote:

The bill, proposed by Lady Cox and backed by women's rights groups and the National Secular Society, was drawn up because of "deep concerns" that Muslim women are suffering discrimination within closed sharia law councils. The Arbitration and Mediation Services (Equality) Bill will introduce an offence carrying a five-year jail sentence for anyone falsely claiming or implying that sharia courts or councils have legal jurisdiction over family or criminal law. The bill, which will apply to all arbitration tribunals if passed, aims to tackle discrimination, which its supporters say is inherent in the courts, by banning the sharia practice of giving woman's testimony only half the weight of men's. http://www.guardian.co.uk/law/2011/jun/08/sharia-bill-lords-muslim-women

Nice to hear you speak the truth there Mantra.

So what is the answer?
Is the answer equality?

As for the rest - sorry, I shouldn't say such dribble.

That is my truth only, but I'm sure there are many good Christian women out there standing behind their "men" unconditionally. To me believing in, and caring about the idealism of the opposite sex is only for the young. As we age idealism usually fades and becomes the same old empty rhetoric.


Quote:

So what is the answer? Is the answer equality? Nope. The answer is that I am more physically powerful than you, so shut the fkcu up on these ridiculous women's issues and do what I say. You have already stated the truth there. Like it or leave it. That's just the nature of things.

Some women like the cave man approach - but it can be pretty offensive if you don't.

I don't know what the answer is. I don't think it's equality - but perhaps learning respect for each other and that has to be earned first for those of us who have been badly bitten. It seems a lot of us just give up trying.


Quote:

Now if you choose to go against the nature of things, then that's entirely up to you. Believe you me, it don't work. It cannot ever work. It's not nature. I know my mother intimately and honestly..she's an absolute nasty person of a person. I know the ideals of women intimately and honestly...they are an absolute nasty person of an ideal. Go back to school.

Parents stuff a lot of children up for the opposite sex - not always intentionally.

Women can be more selfish than men that's a fact, but they should know instinctively to turn it around and start making sacrifices when they bring a child into the world. That applies to men also.

The unfortunate side of this is once you start revolving your life around your children's needs for a couple of decades - it's very difficult to remember what your needs are.

That's a very confronting response there mantra, and I do see that your sensitivity and your forwardness of realised opinion is something to be reckoned with there.
I can see why you want me to continue with my emotional outburst.

Oh well, if they believe in some "Christian God", then that's their problem just the same as Christian men isn't it? Not much has changed there.

There ain't much use changing things when you're on a winner. If it ain't broke, then don't fix it. Women are on a laughable winner in this stuffed up western society.

I've said to my mum over and over, go to your daughter for advice.
I've done all I can. I've given all I can, now it's over. Go to your daughter, not to me. Leave me alone.

Jeez..my dad was at the cusp of suicide before he found a new light. And that new light was an exact opposite of what i see in my mum crying these  crocodile tears now. I really don't need this crap at this time. She should have at least a little respect for me and my father and just go away.
Whatever her lover provided to her, whether it be a big cock or a big wallet, it didn't provide anything to me so she should live with it. i

That comment makes me feel like a voyeur Amadd - but it's true. I prefer honesty to superficiality and why pretend something is good when it isn't.

Mothers get put in the firing line a lot by sons - whether they're unselfish or selfish. It's not uncommon for a son to be angry at a bewildered mother.

I'm sorry that your father is suffering Amadd and glad that he got a second chance at embracing life. It's horrible watching a parent die though and you're fortunate that you're so close to him. It's a comfort for you both.

As far as the caveman comment goes - I just meant some women prefer the more gentle approach with sweet words while others seem to embrace a bit of rough interaction. Then again it depends on a lot of factors and desires sometimes change.

Yes I think that's true. And sometimes maybe even a bit of each.

In some ways I think that western women in general display a bit of an underlying support for laws such as "sharia", which we are meant to see as being reprehensible in our western society.

I think that women are generally wiser to their weaknesses in most aspects.

But still, if the carrot is there, it will be taken.
Laws need to revolve around human nature, and not around some fanciful lamebrain idea of changing human nature.

Just to add, my opinion of many women being in support of cultures such as "sharia" is primarily based on the lack of fight that I see against it.
If this is a supposed "equalistic western society", then I'd expect some ground level opinion which aligns with those of men. I don't see that that at all. Moreso, I see opinions that align with the hairy arab.

I really wonder what western suckers have been duped into believing sometimes  ;D
