i've been reading the koran actually. some beautiful passages in there.

i don't believe in "covering", tho. *grin*

here's a book i found not too long ago...after i finish the koran, i think i'll go to the library (i need to do that more often...lol) and find it or buy my own copy: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0195128362/ref=ord_cart_shr/102-9524477-1344114?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance

but your links bring up a good point: the role of women early in the "big 3" religions is sometimes far different from the messages we're fed today.
