It is always the man that has to be physically brave and always be the hero, but we cant and are not allowed to admit weakness and far too many men think women should not lead men or be heros to men.

I am a physical whimp and I am not ashamed of it. I have no fear of an intellectual battle though, but I don't physically fight anyone and hate morons who do over anything, sports or religion.

Gender roles suck and our species would do much better accepting the diversity in women and in men.

That's so true! Unfortunately, we've accepted gender roles for too long, and this makes it much harder to get rid of. Though I'm optimistic by the LGBT movement, it should help in this regard.

Welcome. In the spirit of the various meanings of mota, this is the first mota I thought of:

وعليكم السلام I'm joking of course.
I can to you say a word "congratulation" because I know that someone who leave Islam can be killed.

Did you feared the جهنم when you leaved Islam ?

My question is maybe stupid.

Why did you leave Islam ?

Well... worry for your life, if you leave a given religion... that goes waaaay beyond simple indoctrination as a way to keep the number of faithful dolts around.

Hey viocjit!

First of all, your shouldn't say "وعليكم السلام"/"Peace be upon you" to an infidel, you should only say "وعليكم"/"You too" according to islamic laws Big Grin.

Second of all, I have to say that I'm a little intimidated by your knowledge about Arabic. Do you belong to the mossad or something? Big Grin Just kidding! I actually admire your multilingual skills! (I did my research Wink)

Third, I guess you already know the answers from my other post. If not please let me know!

Cheers!

Yeah. My heart goes to those in the UK right now who are labeled as muslims but are not. On the one hand, they are afraid to be harassed by brits as a revenge for the horrible beheading that occurred two days ago. On the other hand, they can't publicly announce their apostasy, otherwise they might be killed by muslims. It's a lose/lose situation.
