Exactly!
What's up with the middle east women then? I haven't seen evedence of them being empowered by their reverence to the moon, or aren't they allowed to? It is a very 'man' run area.
The sun is most deffinately masculine
In this lays the reason they keep their women out of the sun, not just the weather/climate, and only their eyes show.
He is the judge, but she is the death dealer imo....maybe....
I like your thread though, sorry for rambling, just glad someone else is thinking along these lines too. makes me feel less freakish and confused.

I stopped reading at the first paragraph.... pretty much at entering a room with the left foot.... we do NOT enter any room left foot first.... everything is right first, from washing, to entering a room, everything but wiping our behinds, that is left hand.... we eat with the right hand etc etc etc
and I am still unsure how symbolically defeating the shaytan (which is what throwing stones symbolizes) is a feminine thing...
but ohh well seems this is you having no clue and making decisions based on your not knowing even one small thing about our religion.
good day to you

Christ is androgynous. That's because every symbol (such as the sun and moon) has a dual nature. Pisces has two fish.
edit on 20-7-2012 by BlueMule because: (no reason given)
Islam is the couterpart, it is a moon worshiping cult, also disguised as monotheism. Islam's nature, then, will be representing the feminin natur of the cosmos.
Christianity is a sun worshiping cult, even though masqueraded by its monotheistic face. Which means a masculine nature.

The reality is, sun-cults are androgynous, and have been for the past 6000 years.
Likewise, moon-cults have been androgynous for the same amount of time.

I would very much like to hear your opinion on why the women of this planet for an incredibly long time have suffered at the hands of these man run religions.

No, you're pretty clear in your opening post that you consider Islam, specifically the lunar-worship, to be feminine.
While you consider Christianity, specifically the solar-worship, to be masculine.
I do realize you believe they represent two halves of a dualism. But your premise, and facts, are incorrect.
Solar worship, which Christianity is, is not masculine because it is solar worship. It is masculine because a cabal of chauvinistic misogynists control it.
Islam is also not feminine because of it's (supposed) lunar worship qualities (possibly) inherited from Arabia, who's moon gods were based on the semitic Sueno, who comes from the Sumerian Nanna.
No, Islam is even more overtly male-dominated than Christianity. What gives Allah and Islam a feminine bent, is the abundance of fertility symbols present in the language, letters, and mystical nature of Islam.
The reality is, sun-cults are androgynous, and have been for the past 6000 years.
Likewise, moon-cults have been androgynous for the same amount of time.

what is the relation between monotheism and sun and moon! true that the sun God has entered the christianity and wrong believes have entered Islam but fortunately God and prophets are intact in Quran.
this doese not mean that christianity and judism or islam is to worship Sun or moon or those energies.
and about Jamarat look at this:
this is the real Jamarat that has been stoned for thousands years. hwever it is altered by hand of Saudies.
now look at this. this sign is in many europian squares, do you know what it refers to!?
