I respectfully disagree! Religion may be used as a context for discrimination. For example - saying Islam condones terrorism, or that Islam treats women like children, or that there is inequality or oppression of women under Islam, or that Muhammad is a pedophile, etc...

This is why muslims are trying to clarify our religious principles here, because our principles are misinterpreted and it has the effect of discriminating Muslims.[/quote]

I think clarifying Islam's laws is a worthy undertaking. It's how you're going about it that's problematic.

Saying "women are equal in Islam" or "Islam treats women captives well" or "Muslims believe in the same Jesus" [b]spreads new misunderstandings instead of clarity. [/b]That's how each of these issues led to 20 pages where other people besides you described the actual laws, usually ending up with disagreement over accepting these laws, at which point you usually started calling everybody Islamophobes.

Also, one person called Mohamned a pedophile a month ago. I actually apologized on his/her behalf, and I'll do it again now: that person was wrong to say that. How many times have you called posters Christian-evangelical-crusader-Islamophobic mini-skirt-wearing grannies with STDs?[/quote]
