Random Thoughts: "There appear, therefore, to be two distinct voices within
Islam, and two competing understandings of gender, one expressed in the
pragmatic regulations for society (discussed in the previous chapter),
the other an articulation of an ethical vision. Even as Islam
instituted marriage as a sexual hierarchy in its ethical voice -- a
voice virtually unheard by rulers and lawmakers -- it insistently
stressed the importance of the spiritual and ethical dimensions of being
and the equality of all individuals."
