<<. Then why are you so adamant about defending the virtue of Soddis? >> I said no such thing. In fact I clearly said the opposite. Forget what I said about studying literature. May I suggest reading comprehension lessons. <<". No mention of prohibition I am afraid. Its hard for me to judge whether you are misinformed or intend o mislead.>> Uh, one other possibility, you are ignorant. Feel free to cast judgement on whatever you don't understand. This is America after all. <<..but all the hundreds of millions of Islamic women suffering under a repressive society as failure on the part of "islamic people" and not Islam.>> Once again, you as an outsider are ignorant. It is especially annoying that you insist on passing judgement when you don't have the culture. To understand the culture enough to do that you yourself must experience it. Don't you find it odd that these millions keep telling you they understand it and appreciate it differently. Sure there are people who reject Islam and the culture. Same as in the good ole USA with Christianity. <<Excuse me, but this guarantees that you can NEVER lose an argument!>> Pardon me but it is not my arguement it is God's. I have nothing to win or lose here. Just trying to give you a nudge on some things you seem pretty set on. Can't hurt to imagine for a moment that some of the notions inculturated by your society aren't sound. If, however, you'd prefer patriotism over enlightenment. Hey, you are a free man. How's things in podunkville. I am sure its the best town in the whole world, cause your preacher and mayor told you so. <<the folks who come to a US graduate school are the best and the brightest of the country. If they can't express their point of view(as Moslems), the cab driver in Demscous or the camel driver in downtown Cairo certainly can't!>> oooh an elitist, with a class prejudice as well.
