Why did Allah choose a male messenger?

Quote
Islam has inherited the male-centredness of the ancient religions and cultures from which it emerged. Like Judaism and Christianity, at its centre is a deity constructed as male, who nominated as his mouthpiece a male mediator. It also shares in common with Judaism and Christianity an attempt to define its god as a god without gender. But this strikes me as a theological construct designed to liberate the deity from the constraints of human comparison and worldly categories, rather than a ‘softening’ device recasting the god of Islam as a divine paradigm of equality and oneness.

When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.

Interesting article schizo, though the introduction about Islam cutting off the West from Buddhism is not entirely accurate. Zoroastrianism was already doing that before Islam even existed, people tend to forget about that.

At any rate, the West had already cut itself off from any Buddhist influences when the Roman Empire banned all religions except Christianity and Judaism.

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything

Indeed you are correct, Although that says more about inaccuracies in early European anthropology than it does Islam's disavowed femininity.

Because Allah is the self-serving delusion of a man.

Too fucking busy, and vice versa.

It might empower women. Can't have that. Allah was always incredibly sexist, even back when he was going by Yahweh.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
