Why would Semitic faiths be delegated to the garbage bin of history......

Semitic religions believe in submitting their minds to a dogmatic Gaud, making women subordinate to men and are apprehensive of the impact of science on dogma. The reason why people in EU and US are enjoying a better quality of life has nothing to do with dogma (in different sects of Christianity). They are gradually seeing the value in embracing pagan ways of living and science, and ignoring dogma. Christianity is dying a natural death in both EU and the US. In reality, Christianity was at its peak during the "dark ages". iSlam is no different. It is just going through what Christianity went through during the "dark ages". PBUH helped the faithful to freeze their outlook in tune with the 7th century by saying that he would be the last prophet. Both Christianity and iSlam actively destroyed pagan cultures across the globe (Asia, Europe, N & S America, Africa.....). Worshipping God as a female was banned in Semitic faiths in ancient times and this led to making women subservient to men. It was only through industrial revolution (had nothing to do with the Semitic dogma) that the plight of women has changed. When Victorian Englishmen were exposed to Indian culture, they were horrified. Same thing happened when they met Polynesian cultures. iSlamists were no different (and probably worse).....

So, the mullah (see below) is just saying what his religion is advocating for women:

All religions basically say the samething about women in different words.

The relevant question what are the current practices of the followers of a religion.
are they allowing women to study and work? Are women free to participate in outdoor activities? Are women harassed for family honor or dress code? Is the harassment of women limited to a group or widespread?

Rashmun's two quotes from Taittareeyam and Rg Veda were twisted. His other quotes were from not authoritative sources. A culture that worships the meter used in Rg Veda, education as a process, earth, universe, etc., - as a Goddess is different from a culture that actively exiled the female Goddess of Sumer, Akkad, etc.

VP,

History is full of examples of how each religion followers treated women over centuries.  All major religions, Christianity (and all its various shades including  syrian christians of India), Islam, buddism and hinduism, are guity of mistreating women.  We cannot go back and change the past.  What are they doing now that impacts the lives of women is a more relevant question.
