Nope.

How typical. A statement of fact about Islam leads to knee jerk accusations of "prejudice" and "misinformation." I'm judging Islam, not prejudging, just as I judge Christianity and Judaism. And I've studied it plenty, so that's why I'm not misinformed. Try again, and please grow a backbone.

Islam has nothing to do with this, btw. Mecca and Medina are located there, the Koran is the constitution of the country, and Saudi citizens are punished with death if they leave Islam, but it's all been misconstrued, you see. Also, the Bible is bad too and lots of religions are mean to women. This was a fluke.

That's because it isn't really happening. Btw, a maid was just beheaded in Saudi for apparently committing a murder, which is hard to really trust, since maids (and foreign domestic workers) are routinely treated like garbage.

Islam is the only one that is a political system.

Islam isn't a religion, it's a political ideology and has been since day 1 of its calendar.

Ah, I see. Nothing to say about my points, since you have no real response. I'm sure you're one of these people who thinks it's "racism" to criticize an ideology and system of laws like Islam.

He's a talking pile of male garbage. He's not left or right wing, he's just a fucking geezer who obsessed over women because nobody wants to fuck him.

He's not a Democrat. He's not a Republican. He's not an anything.

That was my point. You didn't mention the Ottoman Empire. You don't know enough about Turkish history to speak intelligently on the current situation. This isn't an aberration, it's keeping in line with the vast majority of Turkish history. It was an Islamic empire and theocratic dictatorship for centuries, far longer

Do you know what went on in the Ottoman Empire, for centuries before Ataturk? Do you think that could be wiped away with a few laws?

There is no such thing as an Islamic democracy. That is becoming more and more apparent every single day, and if you can't see that, it might be time to rethink your career.

Also, this has nothing to do with Islam, even though the man himself divided the world into "haram" and "not haram."

If you're not "practicing" then how is it your faith? And who exactly is "discriminating" against you?

Don't try to reason with this one. She's taken it upon herself to defend the good name of Islam, since it needs defending.

You take it upon yourself to defend Islam on the internet, while these idiots are veiling mannequins. A former Muslim tries to set you straight. Then you try calling someone "crazy" because you can't think of anything else.

Racist

Oh, good. Islam's reliable defender, right on time. I think ISIS is happy you do this on feminist websites in the US. You should be proud of yourself.

That reminds me why I'm an atheist.
