The purpose of this quote from the book was that Bible condones the status of women as the second class citizen, thus man is the ruler of her
You are in err here
Just like muslim men believe that women are to be treated as second class citizens. God didn't say this. Man and women have different roles in society and house holds. You need to go to the New Testament to find all of this out.
You mainly focused on a woman being unfaithful. If I'm not mistaken, a man in islam can just say "I divorce you" three times and he is free of his wife regardless or what she did or did not do. Also Iman ali said about this in islam: "123. Jealousy in woman is unpardonable but in man it is a sign of his faith in religion (because Islam has permitted polygamy and prohibited polyandry)."

No this only partly true a husband just by saying I divorce you three time does not get away as easily as you have made it look, and yes polygamy is permitted but not propogated, there are many restriction, by the end of the debate you will come to know that it is not easy for a muslim to marry more than once,
If he doesn't have the money to support the wife, no. If he has the money to support the wife yes, so it is easy.

if he is a practising muslim, and keep in mind there are more than a billion muslims worldwide, can you give statistics as to how many muslim men marry more than once, during the life time of the present wife.
The matter is the fact that they can marry, which would just reject all the teachings of what Jesus taught since He stated that a man must only marry ONE wife and if he has more than one wife, he and that other "wife" are committing adultery.

I choose to touch this subject as this is the subject that is thrown around on all such forum. I have started it by quoting from different books of bible( no disrespect intended), I have read some responses by the muslim members, which left much to be desired, I will try my best to set the record staright on this topic if there are any enquiries.
I'll let the others handle the rest because they will do better than me. Basically you're talking about the past [from which you are basing most of your "doctrines" on
] Try reading the new testament and you will have a better understanding of it all.
I too will wait for others to respond, I am on this board not to make any one look bad, but create a better understanding, that is to understand each other we have to look at the whole picture and not just a small portion of it.
