maybe not explicitly. but again, this is the problem with these ancient religious laws. they are poorly written at best if not down right horribly. i think the scholars use the hadith about women immitating men and men immitating women being haram to draw that conclusion [itijhad]. claire, do you speak arabic? can i ask what ethicity you are?
Which verse do you think is poorly written or written horribly? Should women dress like prostitutes to attract male attention? If that is what they do, what is the harm of there being a rule recommending modest attire?
I am not an Arabic speaker and am Chinese.
It seems you are saying you do not trust any judiciary ancient or modern, American or non-American to interpret the Koran in a way that is not offensive to reason and humanity. Perhaps you are being unduly pessimistic?
5:32 and 33 might be the worst. they both say to kill those who spread corruption without explaining what that is. sometimes tranlated as mischief. those are both very broad terms. but there are many. 18:70. 18:90. 4:11 [this one is at least clear] 4:34. 25:44. 55:56 [some think this means jinn can have sex with humans] the whole 72 surah 'the jinn'. 'the sun sets in a moody pool of water'. 'the fetus' bones are clothed by the flesh' [implying the bones are formed before the flesh]. the whole opening of 'the cow'. we disbelivers are diseased. we stuble to and fro, the parable of the people who kindle a fire and allah extingushes their light.' something like that. what is the one that says the jes say esra is the son of god? 5 something. maye 35? 5:45. [this one was used to let horror killers go free in pakistan for 50 plus years] .....
"Should women dress like prostitutes to attract male attention?" only if they want to.
"If that is what they do, what is the harm of there being a rule recommending modest attire?" modest dress is like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder.
i am a pessimist. courts get things wrong all the time. add religion and i think it only makes it wosre. did you see the big naked swin in australia the other week. looked like the rule was you had to be over 65.
chinese, i would have never guessed that. are you a uighur? from east turkestan/xinjiang.
no. i mean i vote. i don't take to the streets though. never worked on a campaign or donated any money so i'm not a political activist. but i do partake in politics. what do you think of muslims who say muslims shouldn't vote in the west?
I am campaigning for UK voters to spoil their ballot papers with the objective of having more spoilt ballot papers than there are votes for either Labour or Tory.
I knew a libertarian who said "Don't vote, because voting only encourages them."
Americans don't even have the option of spoiling their ballot paper to show that they reject their corrupt oligarchy, do they?
How would Americans feel if Trump, having been voted into office and allowed to take office, goes on to start WW3 anyway?
I had to look it up to refresh my memory.

For practical purposes, the overwhelming majority of humanity are recognisably male or female.
true. but laws and morality often deals with the anomalies. under your sharia would women be allowed to wear pants?
There is no verse forbidding women from wearing pants/trousers.

I am not Muslim and don't come from a Muslim background nor was I born in China.
5:32-3 is the punishment for violent revolutionaries.

Are you the "in the long run we are all dead" kind of pessimist who does not believe in political activism?
