Ignorant Fucks

[downbeatplumb]

Wow. I signed up to this forum believing I was going to have some intelligent conversation. This is the first post I look at and the only sensible replies are coming from those defending Muslims. The rest of you are like a bunch of 10 year olds bitching about something you know very little about. I thought atheists claimed to be the 'rational' ones? Well maybe you should start acting like it. I hate to sound like your mothers but honestly you deserve it. Grow up.

And a big hello to you too.

Now lets see what prompted this thread

A group of religious figures in Saudi Arabia have threatened to strike the labor minister who seeks to create jobs for women with “deadly prayers.” They threatened to pray that he gets cancer like his predecessor Ghazi al-Gosaibi, who died of the disease in 2010.

During a meeting at the labor ministry on Tuesday, about 200 religious figures accused Minister Adel Fakeih of executing a “Westernization” plan and asked him to ban women from working in lingerie shops within a month or he will face their dangerous prayers.

An example of intolerance, mysogyny and superstition based on Islamic teachings.

Are you surprised that sometimes our "rational" side finds this exasperating?

Are you surprised that the constant attempts by theists of all stripes to drag us back to the 14th Century illicits some choice phrases?

You said you came here for debate but I think you came here to be offended.

You would not be the first.
