As for menstruel blood it has been scientificaly proven that if you make sex with your wife while shes in her period you may be infected by various deseases (sp?). Something that Islam told us 1400 years ago.Isnt that considered as a scientifique fact?

Sorry, but that is not a fact, and there is nothing "scientifique" about it. It's just a slam against women for a biological process they undergo -- and which they have enough trouble from without being scapegoated for it by superstitious, misogynistic, ignorant bronze-age (or iron-age) goat herders (or, even worse, by people putatively more civilized who still follow the edicts of those ancient goat-herders).
I don't get the phobia here. Other than the mess- which isn't that bad if you get in at the right time- it can be a great thing. It's safer to have unprotected sex, as long as neither of you have diseases already, it's extra-lubricated, the woman is generally hornier (in my experience- tread lightly in this area, men), and menstural blood is the key ingrediant in summoning Nergal, who will bathe the earth in cleansing blackness!
The only grain of truth is that, if that woman IS INFECTED ALREADY, yes, she can transmit you illnesses. Apart from that, NO.
The woman might be more easily infected, as she's more "open" and has a "bleeding wound". But the man has no added risk. One of the functions of bleeding is to clean wounds out, from within, sort of, so blood in itself is often fairly clean.
I think that the Bible says something similar as well, 4000-2000 years ago. Hinduism and Buddhism (even further back in history) might have similar edicts. Bleeding was scary, potentially deadly, and they perhaps didn’t really understand why women bled without being sick or hurt. So no, it's not a "scientifique" fact, but a superstitious notion.
If you wonder how words are spelled, dearie, there are these wonderful inventions called "spell-checkers" and "dictionaries" and "Google Translate".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
