The world would be a much better and peaceful place without religion

[786junaki]

I think she's a bit like me, a Muslim but disagree with many things about it specially when the religion changes peoples attitudes and makes them more backward and ignorant. It demonises women and gives them no rights or power and lets men have all the control and freedom to do whatever they like without questioning it.

[runi8]

she is so right in everything she says... and the last few sentences just made me cry... It's so sad that we have to choose between telling the truth and losing the Muslims we love or staying quiet to keep the 'half-love' they are willing to give us... so incredibly sad...
