considered as God's instructions to his Muslim followers to kill unbelievers, capture them, ambush them (Quran 9.5). To this day, many people attack the unequal justice between men and women in Islam. Scholars say that Islamic law, such as verse 4:34 of the Quran, permits and encourages domestic violence against women, when a husband suspects disobedience, disloyalty, rebellion or misconduct on the part of his wife. . It is not only Islam that has been accused of this, but also Christianity. The Bible includes /many /more /flattering or /inviting /bloody verses than the Koran, and biblical /violence is /often much /more /extreme and marked by more /blind barbarity. If the founding text shapes the entire religion, then Judaism and Christianity deserve the highest criticism as religions of savagery. In the “Old Testament” /the principle /of /“an eye for an eye” is /often /referred to /using the /Latin expression /lex /talionis, the law of /talion. The meaning of the /Eye for an Eye principle is that an individual who has /hurt /another person /returns /the offending action to /the perpetrator as /compensation.

So, in a sense, religion leads people to rank things poorly on their priority list. Works Cited Berger, PL (2012). Additional reflections on religion and modernity. Springer Galadari, A. (2011).
