I know that it is often seen as misogynistic in that women have to totally covered so that they do not inflame the uncontrollable lusts of men, and that if they get raped they can be stoned to death for having sex outside of marriage, a simple matter of one woman’s testimony only carrying less weight that the man’s; but this fatwa from an Egyptian cleric, Shaikh Abdul Mohsin Al Abaican, a consultant at Saudi Arabia’s royal court, stating categorically that men and women, who are not related, can be together without contravening the tenets of Islam is wonderful and I only wish that is could be taken up across the planet. I am sure that every woman on the planet would be overjoyed to be able to participate in bringing Peace in such a manner.

Are there any more such ideas within your religion?

Kept in Sanaa, it becomes obvious when studied some texts have been overwritten. This does tend to suggest that the present text is not the original.

You are exactly right. People of other religions have no right to question your religion before questioning their own. But my question to you, is, do you question Islam? If not, why not? Have a read of some articles written by former-Muslims specifically on the reliability of the Qu’ran: http://www.faithfreedom.org/quran/quranic-articles%20

As an atheist, I feel quite happy questioning all religions. :)

We have a religion, which we abide. i want to ask u chistians jews and all non muslims, which code of religion do u follow? Uve changed ur own so called holy books in to what ever u want it to be like but our holy book has not and will never change a bit. 1st c ur fake religion then comment on ours.

“It will soon become illegal even for private faith schools to teach religious doctrines as if they were true. In an interesting twist on the American experience, prayer will remain legal in schools – after all, it has no truth value. But everything that takes place on the curriculum’s time will have to be secular. “Pupils must be protected from every sort of fundamentalism,” said the minister for schools, Jan Björklund.”

“The Human Rights Council at the United Nations has now banned any criticism regarding Sharia Law and human rights in the Islamic World.” – http://europenews.dk/en/node/13092

From now on, there is to be no more criticizing of Islam and Sharia Law, no matter how ridiculous, offensive, misogynistic and dangerous it may seem to be.

The UN has spoken. Peace be upon them.

But they still display a bad attitude when they state that being a non-Muslim is a ‘fault’.

- to educate Muslims about dangers presented by Islamic religious texts and why Islam must be reformed.
- to educate non-Muslims about the differences between moderate Muslims and Islamists (a.k.a. Islamic Religious Fanatics, Radical Muslims, Muslim Fundamentalists, Islamic Extremists or Islamofascists)
- to educate both Muslims and non-Muslims alike that Moderate Muslims are also targets of Islamic Terror

They need as much publicity as they can get.

This You Tube video is a 5 part series produced by the BBC Horizon team that I hadn’t seen before.

It certainly gives a lot of potential answers to questions about the origins of religious belief.

I think you will find it interesting, I know I did.

As Pat Condell might say, ‘Peace’.

If Mr Wilders or the Danish cartoonist were wrong, they will burn in hell forever, judged by God as it says in the Qu’ran. But for there to be statements in this holy book saying a Muslim can exact revenge and execute “justice” without fear of reprisal is just plainly wrong.
