Yes but based on what obligatory commands from the bible? |
I don't know of any "Obligatory commands", but it's very easy to find bible quotes that attack feminism. ((1 Corinthians 11:3-10) is a nice example, but far from the only one).
This is probably a result of the patriarchal societies in which the Christian bible was written in.
Female preachers are forbidden by several texts in the bible. There have been female, christian preachers for a long time now. This is a good example of religion changing to suit society and culture. Even when the change directly contradicts the religious texts.

Thank you for that correction. I was not aware how engrained in the new testament such concepts were. Actually there's some similarity in concept between those verses in Corinthians and Quran 4:34.

No. Islam doesn't. Neither does Judaism. Both have a common code of religious obligations, some claimed divine in origin, which can never be retracted, some decreed by religious scholars with varying degrees of obligation. |
Bunkum!

Judaism has changed, branched off in to other religions and adapted to cultures and societies like any other religion. Granted, it has been less progressive than some other religions. What about the haskalah? Now thats a perfect example of judaism adapting to society/culture.

But that is not Judaism. That is Jews neglecting Judaism to suit their fancy.

Islam has also been changing since it was founded. If you want evidence of this then look no further than the first post in this topic!

Here, too, the question is whether they are violating Islamic law or not. You use the word "tradition" very loosly. I am referring to binding laws versus non-binding traditions and customs.
