    Also i dont mind religion in general, but i think islam is a shit one, women are second class citizens in it and even men have enough repressive rules to follow to sink a ship. basically its ultra conservative and i hate shit that is ultra conservative.
    Yeah, because Islam is the only religion which says that women are second class citizens. I mean it's not like Orthodox Jewish men wake up every morning and thank god they weren't created a woman or the bible commands women to "submit yourselves unto your own husbands" or anything is it... Oh... Hang on...

    And I'm not even going to dignify the notion that ANY religion is anything BUT ultra conservative.

    This is all still further proof that the world would simply be a nicer place if we all grew up, put the bronze age fairytales back in the toy box where they belong and started being decent to one another. Not rocket science is it.

    Sure the bible might be sexist (i dont actually know but it wouldnt surprise me) but christianity and as far as i can tell judaism in practice are not as repressive to women. Religion is more than just its bible (thank god), its the entire culture of its followers. I see and hear things about muslim women that sound horrible, and i dont about other religions. Also, despite ultra conservative roots, lots of other religions manage a lot of cheerfulness and charity. Singing and dancing, shit like that.

    Galapogos, theres nothing wrong with debate. Renton is saying what he thinks as am i, does it scare you?

    Im friends with people from various religions including islam, disliking islam doesnt mean i have to judge people based on it either. My source of info is western media, tv/news/internet etc. so im open to arguments from people with better experience.

    The whole mosque thing isnt that bad but poor taste sums it up imo

    Blame the media imo.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    I am pleasantly surprised to find a moral and intellectual side to the adolescent, testosterone-laden, sexually-depraved bunch of miscreants who normally troll this forum.

    You do realize that probably 80% of that miscreantism is tongue-in-cheek, right?

    The rest is dranger (just kidding, buddy...being a miscreant...love you...)
