That too is cultural. In Saudi Arabia "honor killing" is regarded as pagan and backward.
At least they got that right. But it is after all prohibited by the Qur'an....
Got news for you, dude; Islam has zero need for what you 'culture.'
"What I culture"? What am I, a lab assistant?
Culture is the foundation for all human behavior. You can practice a religion -- or not; you can recognize a government -- or not.... but you can't escape your culture. It's what you're made of. It was there long long before religion, and it will be there long after. It's where patriarchy and bride-burning and FGM
ALL come from, like it or lump it. That's why you're not finding it in the Qur'an except as a prohibition of a practice that, again, ALREADY EXISTED.
Google it. They are to use their finger after taking a shit. And instructions on which finger, and how to clean it afterwards. Bet you won't find any gloves in that text by Mohammed, either.
Just when I thought Muslims couldn't be more animalistic....
See what I mean? Here you're willing to take on an even further Islamophobe meme -- not on the basis of actual research or experience, not on the basis of something you read, not even as the result of a Google search, but merely
because some disembodied text box on a message board told you to Google it.. and that's all the documentation you need.
Now that's what I call a self-inflicted echo chamber. But I recognize there are those of us interested in facts, while there are others just interested in the sounds of their own echoes.
Btw for more on this scatological burning question be sure to consult Healthmyths. You know, the guy who actually started a USMB thread about which hand O'bama wipes his ass with.
