But to say that the Bahahi faith teaches gender equality but Islam does not, seems rather selective and self-serving. Islam was a huge break through in gender equality for the people of the time.   If Baha`u'llah does not create an equally large breakthrough, then how can His be a distinct revelation. Both Baha`i and Islam provided such a breakthrough, but Baha`i came second and that breakthrough is more appropriate to this day and age. I think the gender equality practiced in the Baha`i Faith is indeed progress.   Regards,   Scott __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
