@warwolfii In the satirical words of South Park ... We got rid of all -isms ... But Damn Those French ROFL!!!

I do not believe that Islam is in need of any reform. It needs to be abolished. The world will be a much better place without ignorant superstition. Of course, let's not just pick on Islam. I believe it is long past the time when we should be completely over all forms of superstition, so throw in Christianity, Judaism and all the other forms of human ignorance.

@RoboRobbeh: There is no need for insults. I'd like to think that most people are willing to have and intelligent conversation on a topic. Thanks. Peace be with you.

@RoboRobbeh: Brother, you are debating with emotions. If what you say is right, saying that we should let God do justice, then maybe we should tell all judges in the US and all other countries for that matter, not to convict and sentence anyone to death. Let's be real. There's no hard feelings here. You don't have basis for your arguement. You know what I say is true. And if you wish to continue speaking to me, please refrain from using profanity. I wouldnt talk to you like that.

This is the kind of person the modern world needs: Mohammed looks like stupid dummy besides her, & Allah looks like another airy-fairy creature.

[drgdrf]

Way to lie about islam in her FIRST SENTENCE. Islam is an anticolonial, social religion.

Killing people and being peaceful does not go together.

[noiseache]

@aqw3yu79wee I absolutely agree but when it's the supposed word of Allah, who's going to do it? If we wait for the big guy it'll never happen and if any group of Muslims do it, they'll be another schism and more wholesale slaughter.

Religion has poisoned the minds of so many and been responsible for the death of millions. It's time the whole superstitious crock of shit was just banished into our dumb history where it belongs.

@IsaHamzaBilal

for a lack of better words...you're sersiously fucked up if you think that. you also just proved our point. Its not up to you to put her to death, its up to god. go ahead, let God do it himself. clearly he has all the time in the world to do it, let him get to it, its not ur job to interfere with his plans right? no man should have say over gods rule (and no woman should have say in any situation period according to ur myth so if ur a girl just stfu and take ur own advice)
