Taslima Nasrin in Melbourne Global Atheist Convention 2010

[golamquader]

parts of prayers can be read in bengali or any other language eg. "niyat".. There is nothing dogmatic in Islam.

I am so sorry and ashamed to listen to this. A woman 50 or more talking rubbish for some material gain!. If her mother said Allah doesnot know bengali it is the ignorance of mother and daughter. Stupid people beget stupid people. I always pray to Allah in bengali. Allah is the all knower and knows and understands everything. One just needs the eyes to look and one sees the magnificence of one creator.

Who is God? God's a piece of shit. We, humans made religions. Religion=War.

@sprinkle888

You mean the one where the comments point out the sources of the lies that video promotes - have been deleted? Or the one with comments completely turned off?

If it takes promoting lies in order to convince people of something...

She has "balls". She repeatedly faces death threats for her views. Islam fears thought.

But even before discovering what the Koran reallys says, there were some incidents then that helped me to become an atheist. My Mother used to tell me that Allah knows everything. But when she asked me to pray ??? to do that I had to utter the verses in Arabic. I was reluctant to do that. For I did not understand the Arabic verses of the Koran.

If I was going to pray I wanted to pray in Bengali. It really angried my mother when I asked very innocently "Mother if Allah knows everything, then why doesn't Allah know Bengali ?" Mother was embarrased and angry with me. I asked some of my relatives and they got angry with me also. One day as I kept reminding my mother about Allah's ignorance, she replied, "If you say anything bad about Allah, your tongue will fall off". I was 8, and had no idea that anyone had the power to do that.

Jesus Christ speaks Bengali. I'm sorry to hear that your family was angry with your heartfelt and honest questions. In the Bible God says " come let us reason together." He is not afraid of our inquiries.

No he doesn't.

@GowanBray The first koranic verses reveled to Mohammad (PBUH) was "Read" (Iqra in arabic). Islam always encourage to learn. I will suggest u the same before you reach a conclusion. If you don't want to put your time on learning i think its always better to keep quiet.

Its clear that her mother didn't have enough knowledge to enlighten her in her childhood, otherwise, there was proper answers for all her question.
