There isn't much positive things to be said abotu the Quaran lets be honest, it's pretty much the old testament of the Bible, people like to gloss it over like it's nothing but fail to realise people actually get brainwashed with the bullshit in these books.

Saudi Arabia’s laughably prestigious University of Qassim played host to one of the biggest women’s rights conferences in the Arab world in 2012. Ironically, the institution managed to hold the event without the advice or attendance of a single woman.

Themed around the topic of “Women in Society” the conference, originally intended to be held annually at the University, is supposed to set a benchmark for tolerance and progress in the region. Delegates and speakers from more than fifteen countries showed up.

As is to be expected from Saudi Arabia, a country firmly under the grip of its own twisted interpretation of Sharia Law, zero women attended the event. At least not in the same building as the men. Perhaps more hypocritically, a woman is yet to lecture to men at a University of Qassim summit.


its own twisted interpretation of Sharia Law


What does the sharia laws ACTUALLY say about women in general regarding their rights versus men's rights? I am sadden to learn sharia laws' interpretation has been twisted.

 Cheesy

That is, sadly, hillarious. Did they debate on how much freedom it's ok to give them... just not too much. This country is just an example of what happens when you let men use religion to make the rules and is proof the literal interpretation of the quran or bible is not compatible with modern times.

It doesn't matter who uses religion, it's always going to be fucked up, look at Sarah Palin and Michel Bachman for fucks sake, I think we should be accepting it's not one religion or the other but all of them are equally fucked up in their own way.

And people still trust centralised authorities Huh They are all to leaser or greater degrees outdated, self serving interest groups who suffer from the psychopathic delusion that they know what is best for the rest.

As usual this is a great sign for religious people everywhere to show how 'tolerant' they are, I believe Catholics pulled the same kind of bullshit awhile back, this kind of double standard bullshit is why I get so pissed off even at people that claim they don't have a problem with gays, why do otherwise nice people support these total assholes?

And yes, by not denouncing them and calling them the hypocrites they are, you do pretty much give these guys credibility.

The catholics were really enlighted on womens rights. As early as the sixth century the bishops voted in favor of yes in the debate about "Are Women Human?" (32 yes and 31 no) Cheesy.

*angry twitch* >_<

honestly, Saudi Arabian men are the ones who really need to be educated/get on board with women's rights. I'm not suggesting that's actually the purpose of this conference, but they're the ones who need to change.
