Mirza is SEXist and is using his religion as a sheild: also The Game

Mirza is well known for posting about how he thinks that women should be protected, or treated differently due to being weaker. It may sound like it has good intentions but I would like to point out that by saying that women are weaker then men then you are hindering her right to grow as a person. Not all women are weaker and if a woman is stronger and more suited to take care of "her man" rather than him take care of her, that should be allowed. Yes as a typical rule women tend to be weaker, but shouldn't that indicate that women should not be beaten, even if lightly? With this contradicition it is safe to say that the Qur'an is sexist. Mirza, like any decent Muslim, defends the Qur'an, no different than a Christian defending the bible. My opponet claims " none of the quotes from the link talk about the value of a women. One talks about rights in society which, again, has nothing to do with value. " Let me post some of the ones I find that talk about value and having lesser rights: "Women have rights that are similar to men, but men are "a degree above them. " " "A woman is worth one-half a man" "Males are to inherit twice that of females" "Men are in charge of women, because Allah made men to be better than women. Refuse to have sex with women from whom you fear rebellion, and scourge them" "Women are feeble and are unable to devise a plan. " "A man cannot treat his wives fairly. " ""Unto the male is the equivalent share of two females. "" "Men and women are enemies! " "You don't have to be modest around your wives or your slave girls "that your right hand possess. " " "Believing women must lower their gaze and be modest, cover themselves with veils, and not reveal themselves except to their husbands, relatives, children, and slaves. " "If men must speak to Muhammad's wives they must speak from behind a curtain. And no one must ever marry one of his wives. " "Those who "did wrong" will go to hell, and their wives will go to hell with them (no matter how they behaved)" "Your wives and children are your enemies. " (lol didn't get that far earlier. Allah did support pedophilia? "Allah's rules for divorcing wives that have not yet reached puberty" this one is not an argument just I didn;t know that was there. .. ) "Muhammad's wives need to be careful. If they criticize their husband, Allah will replace them with better ones. " "The wives of Noah and Lot (who were both righteous) betrayed their husbands and are now in the Fire. " "Abu Lahab will die and be plunged in flaming Fire. His wife will have on her neck a halter of palm fiber. " Unless con can explain how none of those said that women are lesser his argument is moot. Each of those is a quote from the Koran, he defends every part of the Koran, as any good religious person would, but that in turn makes him sexist. Islam is sexist. A definition that my opponent ommited clearly talks about enforcing gender roles. That alone is enough to say that Mirza and the koran are sexist, but I have proven that even by my opponents one deffinition they are still sexist. The part about being happy was not what was sexist, it was the part of thinking that his wife should be a house wife and take care of the house while he goes out and works. It is sexist both ways, and no two wrongs do not make a right. Although many religions are sexist, and "if followed propperly this would be sexist. .. ", none of that refutes the fact that the Koran is sexist, and so is Mirza, who uses the Koran to fit his sexist ideology. Mirza has set belief that women should act and dress a certain way just because if they don't it would make men lustful. Its the luster's problem if he is lusting, not the woman, why should she be forced to wear something because you can't control yourself? Why should anyone go out of their way to "not turn on the opposite sex"? People should be allowed to be who they are, dress how they wish, not be beaten for any of it and to be happy. If she is happy with being a house wife that is her deal her world her life her choice, but his religion should not force that upon her, her religion should not force that upon her. It would only be equal if both parties had the same opportunity and same rights and same obligations. A man must work, that is sexist. A woman must stay a housewife unless given permission by the husband sexist. Both should be able to choose without being affected by "gender roles" Just capability of the idividual to do the work that needs done. If a man is better at cleaning and staying in an area than a woman then I would say he should be able to stay at home instead, but that would go against Mirza's beliefs. Mirza uses the Qu'ran to back his claim. Reality is there would be no real harm in affording men and women the same rights, but Mirza argues that women should just stay at home and nothing is wrong with it because some women are happy with that. Most of which were taught that thats all they are allowed to do. Just because some are happy in a situation does not mean it would be right to force it on everyone else. A man can beat his wife if he gets angry, what can she do? She is not allowed to hit back, but instead refuse to cook. .. so she can just not eat too! Great, so she can get beaten which does little/nothing to him, but if she wants to "punish" him she must also punish herself. If a man did get pregnant somehow it is his right to get his tummy rubbed just as if he was a woman. Whether its possible or not does not matter. If it happened it should not be different, because he went through the pain and labor. I am not saying everyone should always be treated the same, but people should be treated on if they earn it. Being a woman doesn't mean you earn anything differently than if you were a man (and vice versa), you should be treated on who you are, how you act and what you do. My point with the giving birth was he did not give birth he does not need the tummy rub. She did she deserves it. If he somehow went against all odds and gave birth he would deserve a tummy rub too. I believe in equality, I believe in those who earn it get it, those who are more suited get it, those who have proven get it, but not based on gender, judging any of that on gender is sexist.
