This was not about religion. It was about society. Personally, I don't know one single mother who has turned to Islam for guidance.

No. I don't care. I am an atheist. I think all Abrahamic religions are equally fucked up. That is not to say each individual that follows them is fucked up, but to say that the religions themselves are seriously out of whack with reality.

Yes, it fucking does. Maybe not all the time, but stoning is outright nauseating.

So could I. I never exempt Christianity from the barbaric comments. They have displayed some very scary tendencies toward torture throughout history.

I am sorry, but that is not true. All people can be corrupted. I laugh because I am actually watching a documentary right now and they were showing how the sex trade flourished in Iraq (largely Muslim country, there) after Saddam was killed. It is dictatorships and seriously strict laws that keep Muslims in line, not innate goodness. Mind you, that is not to say that some Muslims are not good. I am very sure that there are some truly wonderful Muslims out there. I am just saying they are human. Everyone is susceptible to vices, everyone.
