It's a start, but I'm not impressed yet.

"enforcing Islamic rules." has to go
"Adulthood is like looking both ways before you cross the road, and then getting hit by an airplane"  - sarcasm_only

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

I don't get the religious mindset.

Enforcing Islam, to what end? Clearly not for the good of people. What's it to them if other people go to hell? How does killing or arresting them change that in any way?

And if Allah wants things enforced, surely he is capable of doing so himself. Every act on his behalf speaks to frustration with his inaction or inexistence.

Fucking adults behaving like children. Indoctrination makes me utterly sick.
