I wasn't suggesting that Islamic scholars adopt 20 Questions as a hermeunetic method (although the results would be quite interesting). Rather, I was attempting to illustrate that the Koran assigns attributes to women that are typical of property, rather than typical of personhood, such as autonomy, interests, etc., to such an extent that one's best conclusion would be that the Koran holds women to be property.
Now please explain how your majestic porn collection dignifies women.
Forget that, I forgot there aren't any women in your porn collection.

You don’t have to go there in person nor does anyone have to live for us to know that there is no breathable atmosphere there.
We know from spectral analysis through the use of telescopes that the atmosphere of mars is extremely thin and has no oxygen. So there is certainly no breathable air there. This was also confirmed by the instruments on the probes sent there. Nothing subjective about that.

There is a oxygen rich atmosphere there capable of supporting human life.
Would you disagree with that?

Originally posted by Andrew HamiltonI agree with that. I am sure you can say much more without actually going there.

Mars has no atmosphere. It is measured. There is no air. Islam is a religion of people.
"Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, has a very different atmosphere from that of Earth. There has been much interest[1][2] in studying its composition since the recent detection of a small amount of methane,[3] which may signal life on Mars; it could also be a geochemical process or the result of volcanic or hydrothermal activity.[4]
The atmosphere of Mars is relatively thin, and the atmospheric pressure on the surface varies from around 30 Pa (0.03 kPa) on Olympus Mons's peak to over 1155 Pa (1.155 kPa) in the depths of Hellas Planitia, with a mean surface level pressure of 600 Pa (0.6 kPa), compared to Earth's 101.3 kPa, and a total mass of 25 teratonnes, compared to Earth's 5148 teratonnes. However, the scale height of the atmosphere is about 11 km, somewhat higher than Earth's 7 km. The atmosphere on Mars consists of 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, and contains traces of oxygen, water, and methane, for a mean molecular weight of 43.34 g/mole. The atmosphere is quite dusty, giving the Martian sky a tawny color when seen from the surface; data from the Mars Exploration Rovers indicates the suspended dust particles are roughly 1.5 micrometres across.[5]"

Thats an example of what ignorance is.
You said one thing.
A more reliable source says the opposite
Therefore you have displayed your ignorance.
Get it ?
There is no human life on Mars. There may be after the Constellation program, but there is none right now.
There is human life in the Middle East, and they're more open and hospitable than you are.
