First, they don't refuse to educate women. The vast, vast majority of Muslim countries educate women as much as they educate men. The idea that women are not educated in Muslim countries is a myth. They do not punish blasphemy with death. In that instance, you are referring to Saudi, which may do it, and if so, is probably the only Muslim country that does. As far as not educating women, you are talking about the Taliban, which was the only Muslim dictatorship that refused to educate women. The idea that they hate people not in their tribe? What the fuck are you talking about? Something about tribal differences in Somalia or Africa? Things that have to do with culture and not religion. You are totally ignorant of Islam world wide. The idea that there is some kind of plan for Islam to take over the world is based in paranoia, ignorance, intellectual limitation, foolishness, hatred/bigotry of Islam, and just plain being a nutso.
From the Wiki...
Women in Islam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a 2013 statement, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation noted that many Islamic member nations restrict education opportunities for girls.[42] UNICEF notes that out of 24 nations with less than 60% female primary enrolment rates, 17 were Islamic nations; more than half the adult population is illiterate in several Islamic countries, and the proportion reaches 70% among Muslim women.[43] Other scholars[44][45] claim Islamic nations have the world's highest gender gap in education. The 2012 World Economic Forum annual gender gap study finds the 17 out of 18 worst performing nations, out of a total of 135 nations, are the following members of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation: Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, (Nepal[46]), Turkey, Oman, Egypt, Iran, Mali, Morocco, Côte d'Ivoire, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Chad, Pakistan and Yemen.[47]
Wouldn't be a top issue in the world -- if it was as rosy for women as you believe it is, there wouldn't be so much effort to rectify the problem.. Women may routinely recieve RELIGIOUS based education in some of these countries -- but opportunities for secular education are EXTREMELY restricted..
As for tribal conflicts --- are you not aware of the MAJOR rifts in Sunni and Shia regions? Do not know that most of the Arab internal conflicts are based on this? Millions dead over the decades because of it.. Toss in a couple Kurdish Regions, and various sub-tribes of Sunni and Shia and some long line silver spoon ROYALTIES like the Saudis have --- and you got a real mess.
No, you are very, very wrong. My job is connected to education, and opportunities for women to be educated in Muslim countries are not ‘extremely’ restricted. The Taliban restricted it, but in general, it is not restricted in most areas of the world where Muslims live. I am very much cognizant of the divide between Sunni and Shia Muslims. This is not a tribal issue. They are not different tribes. It is no different than different sects of any religion seeing things differently. Just like Christians that have different sects: Protestants, Baptists, Evangelicals, and Mormons, etc. and so on. The real mess is your mind. What a truly catastrophic mess that is.
As well, Islam is 600 years younger than Christianity. What were Christians doing 600 years ago? Burning witches at the stake, for one thing. Counting how many angels fit on the head of a pin for another. Decapitating people as a way of capital punishment, as well as throwing them in lion pits to be eaten alive. Going on Crusades to dominate the world with Christianity. Invading non-Christian nations all over the world in order to rule and dominate them and treat the native peoples as savages and 2nd and 3rd class citizens. And women? Women were barefoot and pregnant, property of their husbands, uneducated, etc. Yep. Stop being so short sighted and self righteous.
Schooling in some of these countries has to do with economics, not with a government or Islamic policy. People have to pay for their children to go to school, and if they are poor, they will send the boy to school before the girl. If they have enoough money they will send both. Preferences for boys over girls was the same thing in the US and other countries around the world until very recently, within the past 100 years. As well, it is still the case in some Asian countries, such as China. This is not an issue of Islam not wanting women to be educated; it is an issue of economics.
Stop being a spoiled brat
