I said more repressive and in taliban case much more repressive. Its just not that different in philosophy from orthodox brands of other religions. Do ortho jewish women feel repressed. I dont think so. So why is it so hard to believe that at least some Moslem women are OK with what we in the liberal west consider repressive. I am not dumb and know iran has been going in the wrong direction in recent years. But prior to this, iranian mullah policy toward women was benign neglect and considered liberal in the muslim world.

"I don't think Jimmy Swaggart,... suggest that a woman be stoned for adultery."

No probably not. As I recall Jimmy had regular conversations with God and held himself up as a spokesperson for God a few years ago. But ... well, hmmmmm.

25 Mar 1987: Jimmy Swaggart denounces PTL minister Jim Bakker for committing adultery, calling him "a cancer in the body of Christ." 1987: Jimmy Swaggart photographed with prostitute Debra Murphree.

”Jimmy Swaggart, America's leading television evangelist, has resigned from his ministry after it was revealed he had been consorting with a prostitute. … Rev Robertson has threatened to sue anyone who calls him a TV evangelist and prefers to be described as a businessman. ”

That's your authority on the subject? OK.

Personally I am against stoning anyone for any reason, except bulls and bears if they are chasing me, then I would probably chuck a couple.
