Are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, misogynist. Are these three branches of the same religious philosophy the cause of warfare, and the killing of innocent men women and children. If so, why would any benevolent God have anything to do with them?

    Like it or not, these three branches of the SAME theology, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are now and have been historically, very permissive, in the use of violence against  others who are not of their branch of the faith.

    All three branches of this theology, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, do indeed talk about  peace and respect for others in their respective holy books. It is easy to pluck these passages out when defending the faith against questions like this one. However all three holy books do have incomprehensible passages in them, permitting warfare and violence. Women are indeed instructed to be subservient to men and are portrayed as inferior to men. Some progress has been made in recent times in overcoming this problem. Certain liberal branches of Judaism and Christianity now allow women to become Rabbis and ministers. I am not aware that this is possible in Islam? It definitely isn't in Catholicism. Unfortunately progress is very slow and resisted by traditionalist conservatives in these male dominated versions of Abrahamic religion. I reluctantly have to vote yes in answer to this question.

    A good question I think!

    No, the religions themselves do nothing until the insecure believers use theirs to validate violence against other.

    No, don't be delusional like the deluded misty. No, I disagree with you. There is no misogyny, no injustice towards any sex and certainly not cause of warfare. Also, in the Islamic faith, God Almighty said, if one person kills another it is as if he has killed the entirety of mankind and if one person saves one life it is as if he or she has saved the whole of mankind. You can look up that verse from God Almighty and realize the seriousness of human life and the seriousness of murder. I don't know why you'd assume the killing of innocent men, women, and children is accepted when murder is unacceptable and not accepted in the Islamic faith or the Abrahamic religions in general.

    People don't just go to fulfill warfare, there has to be a logical reason as to why anyone would fulfill the affairs of warfare. Taking human life isn't so easy, there are many factors to consider and to consider the fact God Almighty created and brought someone into the world, and not you. So, why take their life? These things need to be considered as they have heavy consequences

    There are things that God Almighty has permitted in the Islamic faith and there are things that are not permitted. One is allowed to defend himself if someone else fights him and takes over his home and anyone that is causing a havoc into the lives of people and causing chaos and evilness in society, anyone has been given permission to kill such a heinous, evil individual to rid of such individual from society or the world. Such as, terrorists. And a person who fulfills to get rid of such a violent, vile, malicious terrorist from society from being corrupted further or destroyed, has not only been given the permission from God Almighty but that person will be held accountable.

    There are has been a valid reason and it has fulfill the permissions of God Almighty. Killing or taking human life is not very easy and again, there are things God Almighty has permitted people to do for reasons like the example I've said above.

    And God Almighty is against the idea or the action of someone taking another soul for no reason or when someone is committing a high crime against someone and taking their life or lives, which is murder. God Almighty is against murder and senseless warfare.

    Furthermore, the more faith a Muslim man has, the more considerate he will be towards women. It is the faith that helps a person as well to treat women much better. A man who treats his wife with the best treatment, with the best of etiquette and the best consideration, means that he has great, strong faith in his Lord and the fact he acknowledges the heavy consequences which he keeps in mind if he mistreats his wife. Also, because the man knows he will stand before his Lord one day and he will also be asked how he treated his wife, he will be judged and will be judged for among other things as well.

    And vice versa, a woman who has lots of good faith in God Almighty, will also hold these values and these things in mind because she also knows that she will be judged as well and how she treats her husband will be taken seriously as well. There are heavy consequences anyone who mistreats or their human life and commits injustice towards anyone or towards their spouses will be held accountable by God Almighty on the Day of Judgement.

    Those who mistreat women, those who dishonor women are heedless and atheists because they don't believe in God and they have no regard for women and no regard for a woman's honor. Those who dishonor women, are shameless and dishonorable themselves. Those who abuse women and all peoples including children, has not only failed as a human being but also failed in being a good servant to God because he or she has abused the very creation that God created and has committed injustice.

    The laws of Allah Almighty helps people, benefits believers and protects the freedoms and the rights of all His creation. Allah Almighty brought down laws in His Holy, Wise, Generous Book, that would benefit mankind so that no one will commit heinous, evil or malicious acts, and so one doesn't commit injustice or oppression. Unfortunately, there are people who don't obey Allah's rules and Allah's commands, and going against everything Allah Almighty has condemned or forbidden. And those who commit these high crimes, will definitely face the consequences and Allah Almighty will hold them accountable one way or another.

    They are the religions of Abraham and are the main cause of all the trouble in the world.

    The cause of warfare is nearly always megalomaniac men wanting to conquer others, to rule over them and to gain immense wealth. They are all control freaks. Makes no dif-ference what religion they may hold to, or if they are irreligious. From Gengihs Khan to Hitler, their attitudes to women had little to do with their starting wars and murdering millions of men, women and children. God has stated in the Bible what He's going to do to them on the Day of Resurrection and Judgment.

    God created man in his own image = Adam.

    Adam got lonely and asked for a companion. God took his rib and made woman = Eve.

    But in whose image she was made!

    Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow, thou shalt bring forth children and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

    Ephesians 5:22 - 24:

    22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

    23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.

    24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

    Corinthians 14:34-35.

     34 women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says.

    35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

    1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

    1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
