Apparently, religious laws that restrict women's rights are terrifying when they're Islamic but inspired by God when they're biblical? Hmmm. Consider what the Bible actually says: 📷 Exodus 21:7–11 — A father is permitted to sell his daughter into servitude. 📷 Deuteronomy 22:28–29 — A man who rapes an unmarried virgin must pay her father and marry her. 📷 Numbers 5:11–31 — A husband can subject his wife to a religious ordeal based on suspicions of infidelity. 📷 Numbers 30:3–16 — A woman's father or husband can overrule her religious vows. 📷 Leviticus 12:1–5 — A woman must undergo twice as long a purification period after giving birth to a daughter rather than a son. 📷 Leviticus 27:1-7 — Women are assigned lower monetary valuations than men. 📷"But that's the OLD Testament!"📷 Okay. Let's look at the New Testament … 📷 1 Timothy 2:11–12 — Women are prohibited from teaching or assuming authority over men. 📷 1 Corinthians 14:34–35 — Women are instructed to remain silent in church. 📷 Ephesians 5:22–24 — Wives are instructed to submit to their husbands. 📷 1 Corinthians 11:5-6 — Women are instructed to cover their heads during prayer. Christians want to compare applications of Islamic law Christianity. Simply put, it’s intellectually inconsistent. And you don't get to condemn the subjugation of women in someone else's religion while refusing to critically examine it in your own.
