Regardless of how you feel, I promise it does not matter to them. Also as stated before if it was that way here you would not care. Its a big deal to you because your used to sitting down on you azz and watching american idol to text vote in the next crappy thing. Honestly its a big deal because we do find it civil.

Wow...she's 75 and she is alone, she asked someone who was like a son to her - someone she breast fed - to get her bread. Do these actions merit the ****ing consequence of lashes and prison?

You all are insensitive pricks. This is inhumane and violates human rights.

****.

One thing I can't stand is how Christians use stuff like this as examples of Islam being an evil religion. When the Bible itself is even more sexist than an Andrew Dice Clay comedy special.

But yeah, the Qur'an is so sexist it's ridiculous.

I don't think either of those are actually sexist if you are able to go beyond the literal text.

That article really made me feel like ****. Not the article itself, I hear about depressing stuff like this all of the time, but it just showed me how biased my World History class textbook was. I remember last year in 9th grade World History class, there was an entire chapter devoted to the middle east, with a large focus on the Muslim religion. The whole chapter implyed that the religion was not really bad at all and was largely misunderstood. What always angered me is how the chapter would go on and on telling me how ****ing alright the Muslim religion was then would talk about how the whole thing spread so rapidly through the Muslims conquering and spreading their religion like it was normal or something.

I never really 'brought' the whole thing, while the rest of my class did. I mean, I don't know much about the Islamic faith, but I don't remember the textbook paying any attention to **** like this.

As for getting rid of religion helping the world, I guess that might work, I really don't know. Taking it away may or may not help make things better. Whats going to stop people from being stupid? Sure, there wouldn't be religion, but the part that makes humans stupid enough to believe in this crap is still there.

Taking away religion is not taking away human nature, therefore something possibly even more rediculous is going to pop up. Which leads me to the conclusion that humanity is hopelessly doomed to stupidity and that we should either A) Kill every single human or B) Move to a super-isolated-land-of-stupidity-free-isolation-island-land and play beach vollyball and eat gummy bears until we all die. Well, its close to impossible to kill off our species because we are so god-damned stubborn and relentless. And even if we do, what the hell is going to stop an even more stupid human-like species from evolving from a pig or an ape or something and screwing everything up. So, I'm going to try to live my life to its fullest on super-fun-isolation-island, or I could at least pretend to. I could pretend all of the pavement is sand, and all of the people are fun island creatures.

The only problem with that argument though is religion is to blame for many more bad events, especially in the Middle East. Yes, it was created by man and therefore human cruelty is ultimately to blame but religion is very it's own entity now. It doesn't accurately reflect humanistic and modern values; it reflects ancient values. So when racism, sexism, and all these sort of things are done by a society that is dominated by the teachings of a specific religion...then religion is to blame, not, human nature.

No, but your post, while right in principle, is ironic.

Yes, but if you take religion out of the equation there's still just as much conflict and cruelty, religion has had a large part in stabilizing the world, if it had never existed the world wouldn't be any better off.

Fair enough, but you're still missing the point. If religion had never existed the world wouldn't be any better off, to pretend otherwise is just a cop out. Cruelty and discrimination would still exist in equal amounts, people would just have a different excuse or none at all.
