Try to put yourself into Mohammed's shoes for a moment. He was trying to create a new religion with himself at the head. He knew the only way to get people to accept this new religion was by force and indoctrination. And he had to make the adherrents believe they were superior to other peoples. The adherrents of other faiths were infidels or inferiors. His new religion/society was to be a patriarchal one with men as rulers over women. Women were to walk behind their "master," not beside them as a helpmate.
The east has managed to get things pretty screwed up, but so has the west, so I won't fault them for that. Both the east and west have messed up the religion - secular spheres and men - women relationships. I don't mind the east having their own cultures and views on life. They are entitled to their own ways of doing things. I have put in some 12 years of living in foreign countries, and I don't think the US has all the answers to living the fruitful life. What I do have against the east is they are trying to bury us.
Anyway, don't look for an editing of their sacred texts anytime soon. They are pretty set in their ways.
