One could say the same thing of fundamentalist Christian sects...
The irony of the present-day practice of many fundamentalist Moslem sects
to oppress women is the fact that historically Islam actually granted
women a fair amount of civil rights...the Koran stipulated certain rights
to women that the Christian Bible never did, and at the time that the
religion of Islam developed, Moslem women enjoyed much greater civil
rights than their Christian sisters in Europe could ever dream of...

Something that the Christian Bible actually calls for.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
