Talk:Islam and gender segregation

Quotes to be removed

• ...the veil is a symbol of sexual apartheid and the segregation of the sexes. In countries where Islam rules, like in Iran, the separate entrances for women in certain government offices; separate areas for women’s seating on buses for example; the banning of women from certain public arenas like sport stadiums; a curtain dividing the Caspian sea for segregated swimming and so on is what it means in practice to be a female under Islam. That people transgress these rules daily is a testimony to their humanity and not the laws or state that imposes it by force.

• More than Iran's enemies need artillery, guns and so forth, they need to spread cultural values that lead to moral corruption. ...a senior official in an important American political center, said: "Instead of bombs, send them miniskirts." He is right. If they arouse sexual desires in any given country, if they spread unrestrained mixing of men and women, and if they lead youth to behavior to which they are naturally inclined by instincts, there will no longer be any need for artillery and guns against that nation.

1. The source given for the first quote is a biased islamophobic blog ; not a reliable and notable source, all will agree. I didn't found any reliable and notable publication quoting this.
2. The second quote is based on a translation from MEMRI which is notable for often mistranslating items and cherry-picking controversial statements. In addition to this, it should be noted that this quote is more related to Iran than the present topic.
