Actually Islam was a progressive religion. It granted women more rights then the other two at the time. Which remained that way up until the 19th century[/quote]
Arraya: Your point about Hammurabi got me to thinking. You know what’s conspicuously absent from this discussion regarding Islam and progressivism? Ghenghis Khan and the culture he and his progeny brought.
Its interesting how little he and his kin are mentioned, especially when you consider how sweeping his changes were and how long-lasting the reigns of the Khans, great and otherwise (right up until the 20th century) were.
