Oh really? Any evidence to back up your claim or is this more personal conjecture? What do men get from women who cover themselves and abstain from sex?
Being that the nuns habit is not bibically based, I would say that it is a very good assumption that it was man made.
Perhaps men created the nuns habit simply for distinction. Do an internet search and you will find many opinions, but no true answer.
It's not a cop-out if I answered your objection. If you didn't understand the distinction I made then just say so and I will be more than happy to explain it to you. Creating rules to supersede or override God's rules is disbelief. Disobeying His rules and falling prey to temptation, is simply a sin. There is a difference between sin (Fisq) and disbelief (kufr).
Sure. Explain in more detail please.
No, I just told you that Islamic law and the Islamic ruling on slaves has NOT changed.
Have you told me that they have not changed? The fact that slavery no longer exists, but would be acceptable in the eyes of God if it did exist, makes me think that any ancient religious practice is open to become extinct in todays society.You said:
"No, slavery would actually be impossible according to Islamic law in the society we now live in, because no free person can be enslaved outside of military conflict where there are war captives" This is a source of confusion for me. Are you saying that slavery does or does not exist in Islamic Law?
It's a matter of ignorance, actually. All the Muslim scholars for over a millenia have agreed that based on the explicit commands in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, the dress code is mandatory.
Not all muslims on this site practice modest dress. I've known very few muslims, out of very many, who practice modest dress. Are you saying that these individuals are wrong? If only those muslims who practice modest dress are true muslims, I would venture to say that this world has far fewer muslims than it likes others to believe. Are you sure that, "All the Muslim scholars for over a millenia have agreed that based on the explicit commands in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, the dress code is mandatory." It is my understanding that there is a lot of debate about this.
Actually, according to Amnesty International, because coercion can sometimes be subtle and not manifest, it is actually something practical to determine. But at any rate, like I said, a prostitute has no influence on society when she cannot even influence who gets to use her body next.
When a woman is forced into prostitution, it is no doubt horrific. However, you are neglecting to take into account the prostitutes who make the decision to enter into the profession, and control all aspects of their lives. In the USA they are quite numerous.
Peace.
There are also a lot of "truck stop" prostitutes. Research has shown that truck stop prostitutes find the greatest reward from their profession than all other types of prostitutes.
