I'll be talking about gender in the Qur'an next Monday, March 7, from 7 to 9 pm in the parlor of the First Parish Unitarian Universalist in Arlington Center (630 Mass Ave). It would be lovely to have friends there.
I think this talk would be helpful for anyone who is trying to sort through the various claims about how Islam views women. For example, the Qur'an never advocates stoning anyone. While the Qur'an is not a modern feminist document, I don't think it is nearly as misogynistic as some of its followers and critics claim. If you'd like to know more about what it does say, please consider joining us.
