Why do the Islamic women in Afganistan allow the men to treat them the way that they do?
The public flogging if their ankles show?
A major beating if they are raped?

Is it because of lack of education and the inability to financially support themselves?

I never understood this.......why not fight back?

Quran 8:67 “it is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/008.qmt.html

As you can see in the above verse (aya), the Quran gives Islamic prophets instruction about when it is permissible to take prisoners. However, since the Quran was revealed by Muhammad, and the Quran gives instruction to "any prophet", then obviously the Quran is saying there will be more prophets after Muhammad.

Put it another way. Why would Allah have Muhammad reveal this aya about captives? Who is it for? The verse is for "prophets" right? So there must be prophets after Muhammad that the Quran finds necessary to instruct about future Islamic massacres and when prisoners are to be taken.

There can be no doubt. The Quran clearly asserts, in this aya, that there will be other prophets after Muhammad...maybe Joseph Smith or Tom Cruise.

The New Testament church had NO PROPHET LEADING! NO TITHE! NO ONE SEEKING TO HOLD THE PREISTHOOD! NO TEMPLE! NO ETERNAL MARRIAGE! NO BAPTISM FOR THE DEAD! NO TEMPLE CEREMONIES!

So.. You tell me!!

2:173 He has forbidden to you only carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that over which any name other than God's has been invoked; [139] but if one is driven by necessity - neither coveting it nor exceeding his immediate need -no sin shall be upon him: for, behold, God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.

5:3 FORBIDDEN to you is carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that over which any name other than God's has been invoked, [7] and the animal that has been strangled, or beaten to death, or killed by a fall, or gored to death, or savaged by a beast of prey, save that which you [yourselves] may have slaughtered while it was still alive; and [forbidden to you is] all that has been slaughtered on idolatrous altars. [8] And [you are forbidden] to seek to learn through divination what the future may hold in store for you: [9] this is sinful conduct. Today, those who , are bent on denying the truth have lost all hope of [your ever forsaking] your religion: do no

Do you feel that those who convert to a religion are less intelligent than those who do not? It’s just the vibe I receive: “I’m too smart to believe in God. I have my science.” I get responses like that all of the time.... I am not barking at anyone atheist out there I just want it clarified whether or not that is how you really feel about those who are religious. If you do feel this way, what do you think of the scientists who use to be atheist and converted to Christianity?

Just a request: please avoid giving harsh answers. I am asking for clarification....not a series of angry statements...
