2:222 They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness.

didn't you just claim that the qur'an doesn't say it's a sickness? which is the same as an illness?

:facepalm:
why are you so concerned with women's menstruation? from this verse, i don't infer that men are better than women because women menstruate. as a matter of fact, there are many women who actually do feel "ill" right before or during their cycles (cramping, nausea, back pain, migraines), so what's inherently wrong with that verse? this verse is about women's RIGHTS to be left alone (sexually) when they are menstruating. other acts of intimacy are allowed, so what's the big deal?

oh, and i've seen this word your translator put as "illness" translated as "hurt"...which probably makes more sense when talking about the discomforts that many women feel.

it's all about perspective; you see it as an insult to women. women see it as a restriction on MEN and a vacation from both religious responsibility and sex for that time. :p

back on topic, i think this movement is complete fail as i said earlier.

Indonesia: Religious leaders condemn US Koran burning plan

Jakarta, 5 Aug. (AKI/Jakarta Post) - Indonesian religious leaders and promoters of pluralism have condemned the plans of a church in US state of Florida to burn copies of the Koran to mark the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The Indonesian Communion of Churches (PGI), the Parisada Hindu Council and the Indonesia Confucianism High Assembly (Matakin) are among the religious organizations grouped under the Movement for Pluralism that made a joint statement Wednesday denouncing the planned act as “a despicable, uncivilized [act that] must be condemned”.

Other groups in the movement include the Wahid Institute, the Interfaith Harmony Forum (FKUB), the

Moderate Muslim Society and the Christian Youth Movement of Indonesia (Gamki).

The statement calls for the US government “to immediately stop the uncivilized plan [that] not only constitutes a violation of human rights, but can also trigger religious tension and conflict all over the world”.

Muslim intellectual Zuhairi Misrawi, also the director of Moderate Muslim Society, said the plan has the potential to harm the relatively conducive current atmosphere of religious tolerance around the world.

“But we have to remember that [those who are planning the event] do not represent a certain religion, because most Christians have also condemned [the burning],” he said.

um...
How, exactly, is burning books a "violation of human rights".
Furthermore, would not the prevention of burning books be more a "violation of human rights" then allowing the burning of books?

agree again. i might find it offensive, counterproductive and juvenile, but it surely isn't a violation of my human rights. :rolleyes:

I'll be waiting to see if there is a violent response from the peaceful Muslim community. If there is, they only validate what these Jesus freaks are trying to say. I'm about fed up with religion on this planet, it's a big fail.
