ummjake,

PM presented an argument that could not possibly be used here when she mentioned Khadija as a business women and I explainied why.

You say PM's analogy to racism in the US was not COMPLETELY off the mark, this tells me that her argument, to some extent is off the mark (based on your own words). Segregation in US which happened was between backs (males + females) and whites (males+females). Are you convinced now this example does not work for this argument? I hope so.

Please note that i did not say blacks or whites where forced to live in separate state. I said they asked to live in separate state. read again and you would know. There are black Americans who asked for separate state for blacks- a model which did not work.

PM, Now tell me this is not a misinterpretation! clearly is.
