So why isn't a man's testimony considered to be worth 1/4 that of a woman?Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16899645621939610612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-41366696410137620152011-04-28T09:19:54.262-04:002011-04-28T09:19:54.262-04:00Susanne,

Christianity is not without the same problem. <br /><br />I don't think that anyone is ever going to 'update' the text of the Qur'an, or the Bible. As you say, it's the understanding and interpretation that needs to change.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-25653450736649879312011-04-28T07:49:54.188-04:002011-04-28T07:49:54.188-04:00Thanks for sharing all this.

I enjoyed the reminder on these topics.<br /><br />Funny enough, I know this is an Islam-bashing book, but I also see Muslim women talk about these same verses/teachings and rail against them. Maybe it's because they need updating for this century as you noted: things have changed.<br /><br />I think maybe the "fault" is due to the ones who refuse to allow for new interpretation -- taking the spirit of the texts instead of making it set in stone law. I'm sure this is because they want to keep their manly power. :)Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.com
