[geeks] why ?

[Ken Hansen]

Allowed, I guess (Bill says "Anything goes" on Geeks maillist), but don't
expect anything even approaching a polite discussion of the differences...

As to your other question, none of the westerners I know/work/socialize with
*ever* discuss the religious beliefs of Muslims, or Jews, or Protestants,
Mormans, or Christian Scientists - in the West, most folks I know agree that
ones relicous beliefs are just that, *their* beliefs, and quite persoanl and
*private*.

Ever heard the phrase "Live and Let Live"?

Now, as to the second half of your question, no one I know/work/socialize
with think it acceptable to treat women as second-class citizens, to be sold
as property, etc. This has nothing to do with religion (AFAIK), it has more
to do with economics and other societal beliefs. Nothing to do with
religion.

I assume you were looking for an intelligent response, if not, sorry, but I
see no reason to attempt to foist my beliefs on anyone else - I'll *share*
them, but only when asked - to do otherwise is considered rude "by most
westerners."
