Quote:Mo: Let's get down to some results. Never mind theory. Show me an area, region, country, or someplace like that, which follows the koran, and now has a really good system regarding women's rights because of that influence. You claimed that islam is better for women. Show a place where that has happened and is better for women's happiness and equality in the world. Using the example you will give us, we will then be able to compare other things too, like other human rights and peace, etc.each region or a country have the good and the bad you must see a religious muslim familly who applies the Quran to know the difference regarding how we are supposed to deal with women regardless of culture there is a lot of people applying Islam in their lives and they are so happy and those are the people that will make you know the difference and also you can know if you read the Quran and search by yourself as the media have no reason to show you the good side of the muslims who are following their religion and of course you will suspect the credability of muslim sources
my advice to you is to start searching and reading by yourself(ignore confusions by the media) and talk to muslims living in your country and anything you hear about islam wether it is good or bad you must see the source(Quran) by yourself to assure that there is no one misleading you or telling you his personal opinions
Quote:The misconception you hold is that we (atheists) think that all Muslims are guilty of terrorism and/or the mistreatment of women. We aren't that stupid. We know that not all Muslims agree with the cultures that perpetuate these things. However, many of these things are happening in the name of Islam. That is a fact.you are saying that but read the posts before you will realize that a lot think that this is not the case
Quote:You say that we cannot blame the religion, but must blame only the cultures. But... those cultures are built upon the religion. Perhaps you do not agree with the interpretation being used to justify such horrible things, but you can't just bury your head in the sand and pretend that your religion is not the root cause.those cultures are not based on the religion. if they are they will be following what is said in the Quran they are applying parts of the religion and ignore the parts that contradict their culture. in egypt that is happening in few places in upper egypt and when you talk with someone about that he is doing something forbidden or bad his answer is that he is doing the norms of his familly and that his father and grandfather used to do the same and that he is not going to change what they are used to do(i clarified before about the interpretation there is a difference between interpretation and cutting from text to get different meaning to justify certain acts)
Quote:Just like Christians. Do most Christians think it is right to murder abortion doctors? No, of course not... but those murders are happening and the perpetrators are Christians that justify their actions with their beliefs. Just because some people disagree, doesn't mean the problems caused by religion are not real.if there is a text in the bible that order these actions plz write it to me and i will try to show you how you can diffirintiate between what a religion order and what extremists do or tell me how those people are justifying their acts i really want to know about that
