Islam should be added in your list as the number one of religions that

women. That kind of women cannot raise healthy children, who can adopt

in adulthood independent clear moral reasoning and who have no need to

subjugate others to feel good about themselves.


I just read in a magazine an interview of dr.Salman Asif. He was born

in Pakistan and is working as a consultant in Britain in the Ministry

of the Interior on non-violent crisis resolution.

The article dealt with honour realated violence that is prevalent in

Islam cultures.

In the article he brings out many oddities (to me terrible features)

in the moral reasoning related to women in Pakistan. For example a

raped woman has to bring to court as witness four men or eight women.

If she cannot, she will be put in prison. 70% of the prisoners in

Pakistan are raped women!

I felt myself sick and nauseous after reading the article.


In some of the old "Stans" approx. 25% of the women are either sold into slavery or used as prostitutes.

In Somalia, due to a religious Fatwa, all women who are to marry must have a clitoridectomy (surgical removal of the clitoris). If they don't they are considered "manly" and cannot marry. Approx. 90% of Somali have this procedure.

The worshippers of the god Allah may represent the greatest threat to world peace. It's hard to tell if they or the followers of the torture device are number one in this regard. Why not call it a draw?
