I doubt anyone in the Middle East ever worshipped a woman. They hate women. And though it’s convenient to ignore, the Bible came from the same general area as the Koran.
wrong. See post 6
That's just the islamomaniacs.
Read about Ninkasi...the goddess of beer...and rejoice...
So there has never been a queen, i.e., female, of a M.E. country?
Regarding the Quran, it is quite similar to the Book of Mormon in that it is the compiled ramblings of the founder of the religion who also, like Smith, borrowed and distorted what he knew of the real thing for his own purposes. Unlike the BOM it is in no chronologic order. The Suras - chapters - are ordered from shortest to longest, making it damnably (pun intended) hard to follow. Both were made to sound like the Bible in hopes of taking on the patina of a "Holy Book", but with the original Biblical narratives twisted out of all recognition.

Your Bible must be the “Reader’s Digest Condensed” translation.
You are wrong. In the ME they had a number of female goddesses that they worshiped. Ishtar, Astarte, Inanna, Ereshkigal and Tiamat to name a few.
There were many female goddesses in what is now the Middle East, some native to the area’s peoples and some imported from other cultures.
This isn’t to say that women were as equal to males as they became in Western cultures only very recently. Muslims stand out as misogynous in the modern world because there is a reformation wing of the religion that is attempting to return women to their status circa 650 A.D. with the rise of Islam.
