Should the rest of the world adopt Islam's view of the inequality of women?

Pickthall4:34
"Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other,

Every moral legal system I know of in the West and most of the non-Islamic world begins with equality for all.

Should the rest of the world adopt Islam's view of the inequality of women?

Check the value of a Muslim woman, according to some Muslim men, at the 8 min. mark.

Oh yes, of course. Political Correctness dictates that we must respect and venerate these glorious customs, and embrace the great multicultural diversity of our fellow humans, especially when they impose these customs on us 'privileged and despicable middle-class' Westerners.

Despicable?

The Easterners are trying to move to the West while no Westerners are trying to move to the East.

They say they do not like us but sure want to be us.

What do you mean by 'Easterners'? You mean the muslims whose countries the US has destroyed? They don't really have a lot of choice.

I too have a healthy disrespect for any institution that reduces our freedom of choice.

The thing is though that man is a rule following machine and we must have rules and someone to administer them.

I agree that we should let Muslims kill each other off.

I also think we should train and arm all the immigrants and refugees that are presently bringing such havoc to the West. The West had to fight for freedom and the Muslims have to be trained to do the same.

Only about half of them get what they vote for.

It's the US and its bitch's that are killing them and destroying their own countries. It's not the US's place to 'let' them do anything, except let them run their OWN countries without meddling and harassment by the US. Do you arrogantly assume that they must hate their own countries, and are just desperate to live in the US? I can think of few places I would want to live less than the US.

Most Muslims are heading to the E.U. more than to this side of the Atlantic.

The U.S. is playing the role outlined for it by the U.N. and history.

If you are correct then it is to the countries of the M.E. to stop putting their hands out for U.S. cash and that way the West could not attach conditions to that funding.
