Is Islam sexist?

[patrick1]

Yes, as are most Christian denominations.

No. Only Catholics and fundies.

You are right BRTD.  It is a well documented fact that we Catholics routinuely beat our wives and hide our daughters math and scinece textbooks.

I think Flyers would agree that he is not exactly a rank and file Catholic.  I mean no disrespect but he is more of a nominal Catholic.

The views on the exclusion of woman from being priests and contraception are rooted in the Bible and its interpretation in theological doctrine. Continuity is important in Catholic thought--the Church does not change its positions at the whim of current American public opinion.   You will see the Church as sexist no matter what so I will leave it at that.

Most would deem your periodic and my bachelor party forays to the strip club as sexist.  No person should be used as an object for someone else's gratification.  But I digress...
