Yeah I got that. Just saying that she is a comedian and this is a joke. Not her real opinion

She's a comedian

Are you vegan?

LOL I don't understand the US.

That's an after picture or an unrelated picture

Isn't there an institution or something to house them and help the mother find a job or sth?

I may be able to agree on lots of your points. However, it seems I need to clarify a number of things. First of all atheism is not a religion and the Stalin Russia didn't kill people because they were not atheists, this holds for Japan or China at that time. Secondly, I have to emphasize again for multiple times on this string of comments: the evils of the past must be condemned and the evils of today must be condemned as well. The fact that some countries, religions, regimes, schools of thought, schools of politics did wrong cannot justify the evils of today. They did shit and Muslim countries are doing shit now. You mentioned something jaw-dropping as well. You said not many Muslim countries enact or abide by Sharia law. I'm lost on that point. As far as I know the majority of Muslim countries have Sharia Law. I will be interested in finding out which Muslim countries don't. And are you a Muslim yourself? Are you living in a Muslim country? I am interested to know

Well if you go and look at the golden age of "Islam", it happened because califs valued free speech, scientific discovery and scientific debate. That age has long gone. Again it seems necessary to reiterate: when I say name some successful Muslims, I don't mean there is nobody. I'm sure there are great minds in the Islamic world. However, the majority of them are getting suppressed and suffocated by the environment. Why do you think there are so many Muslim scientists in NASA or so many successful middle eastern people in Europe, Canada and the US? The environment is key.

By the way Kurds have always been great people no matter their religion. Free spirit and yearning for liberty are innate among them

Yeah I know, obviously when I say islam has fundamentalists and radicals, I mean all Muslims. Who can even find one example of a great person. Amazing. You don't even understand what I am saying. I just translated the abstract of a dissertation for a PhD graduate of one of the greatest universities in the country. Do you know what was the topic? Ogling and staring at women in quranic verses and hadiths. Do you think these resources are better utilized if it was for something useful. Something with real consequences for improving people's lives. Name some Nobel laureates from the islamic world, great surgeons, engineers, phisysists, something fricking useful coming out of these majority wealthy nations

The only instance of this happening mainly because the people of Mecca were close families of people in Medina. Honestly guys go and read about the other qazavat

When I say normal circumstances I mean everyday life, talking, going to a parkand having fun. But as soon as any of the pillars of this dogma is threatened in any way, their instinct is to annhilate you using any means necessary. Therefore, we need more education, telling people to stop believing in this thing that's making everyone's life a misery

Totally agree. When people in women march create hijabs out of the American flag for women though I don't know what's going on. It's mind boggling. It's become a fun quirk for people while women are suffering everywhere in the Islamic world. Where are the real feminists I wonder

@spiderwoman by the way, I am an ex-Muslim currently living in a Muslim country. So when people defend Islam (which took away years of my life that I will never get back), I don't understand them. I just think they don't know anything much about Islam or even history.

@spiderwoman I don't see a disagreement between us. I am saying the same thing. Majority of Muslims are good "under normal circumstances". I dare anybody defending Islam (not Muslims, I am talking about an ideology not a group of people) to go to any Islamic country, go to the middle of a town, start drawing a stick figure (nothing special, nothing demeaning, just a simple stick figure) and write prophet Muhammad besides it and let's see how long you can survive.

Don't you want every country in the world to become a good place for living, don't you want people to be able to repel these negative ideas wherever they find them? Don't you want people to stop killing children, raping Izadi people, Christian, Shiite, and other sects and let everybody live in peace. I want that and the only way is to show the good and the bad, to help people understand what's going on and why they need to resist these evil ideas. I don't even understand what you are saying, Catholics are bad? So? Buddhist in Burma are also bad. ISIS and Islamic groups (the list of which can take up many pages) are also bad. I am condemning all of them. helping my brothers and sisters in Islamic countries to become free. That's the noblest of objectives. speaking of other people who did evil shit, the post is about someone who didn't. He was able to be a real human many years before even Christianity began. Let's see the good too

I wanted people to understand Islam as a whole. It has two distinct parts (much more distinguished that any other religion) good and evil is separated by a very bold line (the records of the verses). When saying Islam is shit (or any religion for that matter) I am not saying that others didn't do shit. However, I condemn all of that and I condemn Islam too. What is this sentiment that since others did shit, we shouldn't offend the Islamic thought. I love Muslims, I think the majority of them are great people under normal circumstances. I am not saying Muslims are bad. I am trying to help you make sense of the paradoxes present in Islam. I have helped many Muslims get out of this cult and you are saying let them be. this comes from naivety: let them be, this is their culture, let them migrate to Europe and America instead of making their own countries better. Please look beyond the short-term and think long-term.

Whenever even Muslims themselves would question the will of Muhammad, he would miraculously "reveal" a new verse justifying his actions. Even Aisha, his child bride, after the verse Ahzab 51 telling Muhammad to fuck each one of his wives as many times he wants, told Muhammad : " I see your god grants your every wish"

If someone told you Islam is a religion of peace, ask him/her for verses from quran. Evry verse has a record of when and why it was "revealed". If its Macci (from the Mecca period) just call it bs and move on. Ask for peaceful verses among the Maddani (from the Medina period) verses. Doubt they will find any.

Achamenids (Cyrus the Great) was long gone at this time. Iran was under the rule of the Sassanid Empire for a very very long time. Poverty and corruption was everywhere in Iran and then the Arabs came massacred a lot of people. Horrific stuff really. Then they conquered Egypt, Spain and so on. Those ISIS, vahabi, Saudi Arabia, hamas, fath, alqaeda and others are trying to go back to the glory days of Islam, raping,pillaging and murdering people in droves to start a caliphate (an Islamic government) you either become Muslim or pay money or get killed. This has been 1400+ years of suffering by the hands of this "peaceful" cancer. Stop defending Islam please. When you say it is a religion of peace, there will be no more progress with cutting out the shitty parts of Quran
