More From Alexander Smith

When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o'erflow? if the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, threatening the welkin with his big-swoln face? and wilt thou have a reason for this coil? i am the sea; hark, how her sighs do blow! she is the weeping welkin, i the earth: then must my sea be moved with her sighs; then must my earth with her continual tears become a deluge, overflow'd and drown'd: for why my bowels cannot hide her woes, but like a drunkard must i vomit them. then give me leave, for losers will have leave to ease their stomachs with their bitter tongues.

The quran says nothing about the veil, except for an injunction to veil the bosom, which is obvious. as for the face, muhammad's wife khadijeh never wore the veil, nor did the other wives of the prophet after khadijeh died. [...] the ulema have twisted the quran with their hadith, always twisting it toward those in power, until the message muhammad laid out so clearly, straight from god, has been reversed, and good muslim women are made like slaves again, or worse.
