    Why do Christians hate muslims?

    "My quote comes from a explanatory note in the translation of A. Yusuf Ali. My impression is that this version is one of the most reliable and respected ones. Your version, by M.M.

    What is the importance of women?

    With regards to polygamy; you said "In the bible it is allowed, nor does the bible say why." Where does it say this? "Why is it allowed? The quran does not say why." Is it feasable that this is because a man made this law? (Think about this open mindedly, im not trying to offend anyone)...

    What is the importance of women?

    Ok undertsood your first point but why aren't women ever to be leaders in this case? Also i am still troubled that allah allows any physical violence towards women in a marriage sense. Even if it is a "light tap". Anyway lets not revisit this point. Why are muslim men allowed many wives...
