And I think it's not an accident that you don't find this idea in the very origin of Islam, because many scholars who study the history of Islamic thought — Muslim scholars or Westerners — think that, actually, the practice of dividing men and women physically came as a later development in Islam, as Muslims adopted some preexisting cultures and traditions of the Middle East.
Creo que no es un accidente que no encontremos esta idea en el origen mismo del Islam. Porque muchos eruditos que estudian la historia del pensamiento islámico -eruditos occidentales o musulmanes- piensan que la práctica de separar físicamente a hombres de mujeres viene de un desarrollo posterior del Islam, fruto de la adopción musulmana de culturas y tradiciones preexistentes de Oriente Medio.
