About Me:
 
Islam needs a reformation! That is clear to everyone, including Muslims. How this reformation comes out is the big issue of our time. Scholars such as Hamza Yusuf, Irshad Manji and Tariq Ramadan are at the forefront of Islamic Reformation. We need contributions from all walks of life to help bring about this change. We all should realize by now that without the step of reformation, we cannot modernize the Arab world. Please help the way towards spreading constructive argument that will ease the way for the Reformation of Islam.

The Arab world is going through a positive change presently. The spontaneous democratic revolutions that are occurring is a step toward the Reformation of Islam and Muslim society in general. Only after the modernization of Muslim society can there be a way to solve real social issues such as the oppression of women and violence in the name of religion.

*********************************************
When it comes to religion and rationality, I've realized being shy and passive gets you no where. You are taken advantage of by naive religious individuals who have no clue on how the world is really functioning. Religious people have one thing in mind and that is after life. That is why they denounce this life, that is why we have so much unnecessary suffering, and it is high time that rational people speak out against religious tyranny.


*********************************************

It was Richard Feynman who said all the thousands of religions seem to be too local. Its as if the religions did not realize there were even other planets, let alone other solar systems or galaxies. This narrow simple-minded religious view doesn't seem to match in proportion with the vast number of other planets, solar systems and galaxies out there. This argument can also be applied using different time periods. Its as if they had no clue about the future. I mean one mention of the computer or internet in their holy books would so very easily convince a number of people that god exists. The reason religions are so local, so earth based and so broad has everything to do with ignorant prophets not having any clue on what future actually held. So as expected, they could not mention our place in the universe and they could not mention major future inventions that ultimately changed our world. Like the ignorant prophets, nowadays majority of lay people still seem to be confused about our place in the universe. Maybe that's why they don't see the many simple flaws that lie in their holy books.


*********************************************
All libertarians by definition have to be atheists. With an all powerful god free-will can't exist. Sadly, there are a lot of fake libertarians out there. Ron Paul is a very good example of a fake libertarian. On the other hand, Ayn Rand would be a real libertarian.

I am a liberal progressive. My favorite politicians are representatives Elizabeth Warren, Anthony Weiner and Bernie Sanders. And my favorite intellectuals are Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Dan Dennett, Carl Sagan, Ayan Hirsi Ali, Steven Pinker, Malcolm Gladwell, Ayn Rand, George Orwell, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Voltaire and many more.

@DarwinIsInHell When did commanding someone to love them became a moral act? No one should command anyone to love anyone or anything. Compulsory or forceful love isn't sincere love. Loving someone by freedom of choice is moral. What if I commanded my girlfriend to love me; would that be true love? What if I commanded my family members to love me using an axe? Would that be moral? NO. Compulsory love is as immoral as slavery. Atheism does not break any commandment. Your careless and imaginary God uses earthquakes to kill mothers, daughters and infants, yet you are forced to love God. Truly ironic, the position you confused religious people put yourself in. Too many people are suffering around the world from poverty and famine for you to talk about sin as an act of not loving God. Hello! Haven't you received the memo? Your God doesn't exist and neither does any other God out there.

SIN IS FALLING SHORT OF THE MARK
THE FIRST COMMANDMENT IS TO LOVE GOD
ATHEISM BREAKS THAT COMMANDMENT
THEREFORE ATHEISM IS A SIN

@DarwinIsInHell Define sin! If your nonexistent god says loving is sinful, is love a sin? Point is, whatever your nonexistent god says sin is sin. Tomorrow he, she or it can say raping is moral, how can you then say raping is a sin? Your morality comes from within you, not from some fake deity. You act moral because you want other people to act morally towards you. It's in your selfish interest to be moral towards others. Morality evolved for self preservation, just like any other parts in your self. Don't act moral and see how hard life gets. Try it! It has nothing to do with some imaginary heaven that you are trying to attain. Being good for goodness sakes is what is moral. Being good for a reward is immoral. Being good for avoiding punishment is immoral. The whole concept of heaven and hell is an immoral, unethical and primitive way to define morality. You need to grow up and stop believing in fantasies.

@TheAmazingamerica So adopting western culture will be the ruin of Muslim culture? And what is this Muslim culture? A culture full of poverty, illiterates and misogyny? What is there to ruin? It's been a pile of garbage one whole millennium. Isn't it time it improves?

Muslims should learn from the U.S. and Britian and not allow this change in their culture or it will be their ruin.
