Then again, 8 Muslim Women have been head of state in Muslim countries while America is still waiting for its first female president in 2014.... the idea that there is even a discussion in the US that Hilary Clinton may be problematic for the office merely because she is a woman is a sign of how backward US politics is but hey, here in America women are "FREE", they wear bikinis and miniskirts, talk about messed up priorities.... But what do I know, Muslim women are oppressed

It's a cult meant to reign in as many idiots as possible. Idiots are the easiest to control.
Yes, I hope to ANY god you never have children.
Alhamdulilah, Praise be to God, He has blessed me to be a mother, so you won't get your wish. I will not wish infertility to you, those are not the teachings of my prophet Muhammad peace be upon Him. I wish that Allah in his infinite mercy bless you with as many children as you wish who will be submitted to their Lord. As far as religion is concerned, unfortunately for you , you do not get to define what religion is for the rest of us. Peace be upon you ~

To someone who is not that interested in religion probably all religions look the same but they are not.
look - bottom line
The more removed you are from the extremist views (Islam, Judaism, Christianity), the closer you are to becoming an atheist.
been there, done that
believe in a higher being but will NOT allow some silly text to guide my life
not following any Lamb of God . . .

Islam is a cult of violence against humanity.

I think she's an "accidental" troll. She's on a one-woman mission to rehabilitate the image of Islam, but little does she know she's sort of making things worse.
I disagree. I don't think she's trying to rehabilitate anything, just trying to explain her view of it. Better, worse, none of the above.
Strictly following any Abrahamic religion looks pretty much the same. There "are" liberal Muslims (I'm married to one) but nowhere near the numbers like Reform Jews or more modern denominations of Christianity.
I very strongly disagree with you that strictly following all the Abrahamic religions looks "the same." Maybe to you, but not to me.
None of them, traditionally, extends equal rights to women. I'm not talking about modern versions like Reform Judaism or recent Episcopal church..
"Modern" versions of Judaism or Christianity are not any less Judaism or Christianity. Just because to an outsider they seem less "strict," that really doesn't mean anything. You may find that they are actually very strict.

For Jews and Muslims, the Christian concept of Christ (fully human and fully divine) is incomprensible and abhorent. For we Christians, it is our consolation and strength. The Eucharist for Lutherans, Orthodox, Catholics, and some other Protestants involves the actual presence of the Lord in the bread and wine. We are eating and drinking the body and blood of Christ. Again, this is abhorent to Jews and Muslims, but a source of strength for other Christians. And I could go on.

Thank you! That would be a huge task to try to rehabilitate the image of Islam behind a keyboard. The irony is , I answer to questions directed at me, or when I read someone saying something that is completely incorrect/false, I did not start this thread or any Islamic threads on this forum. People are free to believe whatever they want and live their lives however they want
