A brief analysis of Quran 4:34
The Right to Protection By modern standards one might accuse the Qur’an of being chauvinist book because it insists that men inherently protect women. In our time men largely go unacknowledged in the West when they play the role of protector but are shamed when they fail to protect women. The verse we will discuss […]

Brotherhood
There was a time that men understood the importance of supporting other men in the pursuit of order, family and safety. A nuclear family could not survive on its own in the wide expanses of the earth where raids were not far and few between. Fast forward and we had large empires as a result […]

The idea that allowing polygyny would create a collapse in society is a fallacy
