In Malaysia it is now legal to marry children because "Muhammad did it!"
Nothing more than a religion based on breeding and race hate.

Define "children". I mean in pretty much all of Europe it's legal to have sex with people that are considered children in the US.
As young as 6 now. so yeah children.

I disagree actually, I think it is a good precedent to try to get your morals onto as many people as possible, hopefully mostly peacefully. I am more interested in limiting suffering of people than preserving tradition really. Though I don't think there's much one person can do, it's surely not futile to tell other people about it or even get actively involved in something trying to better the world in the way you want it.I suppose ultimately I feel a country should NOT be able to dictate its own laws absolutely, but be bound by certain humane rules, something I think the UN is at least partially trying to establish.
Agreed. When Apartheid was the law in South Africa, the whole world had something to say about it, (and quite rightly) because whites considered themselves a law unto themselves - but now, when men do the same or even worse to women, everybody just say, "Hey dude, chill, who are we to judge?"
F@cking hypocrites... Hiding behind a religion to keep women as slaves.
Makes me sick.

So, we can`t say the same for those.
Huh? Religions don't have any behaviors, followers of them do and there are some amazingly sexist Christians and Jews out there,
Originally posted by lil bitchinessThe pope reopened lot's of exorcism schools in an interview he said he's convinced that the devil is under us. So now he wants to let his disciples torture people with epilepsy and schizophrenia like in the middle age, while the civilized world of course knows that these people need medicine and therapies but it's the pope he must be right and christians totally rock.

...which is utterly ridiculous to compare sexism to stoning to death over adultery, homophobia to execution of homosexuals, frowning on sex before marriage to female genital mutilation.
I can`t for the life of me remember when an overwhelmingly Christian nation or Israel in the last 200 years implemented morality police that would beat and arrest women on the street who`s hair is showing...
Just sayin`...

I have no problem with Islam critic but I think it's kinda hypocritical and 2 faced when a supporter of a religion bashes islam while his/her own religion isn't really better only because everything is running behind the curtain and he/she is just too lazy or ignorant to do some research.

Mostly because those particular people aren't in power like they are in the Middle East. See "Biblical patriarchy" as well as various bombings, murders and arsons in the last twenty years or so.

I`m sorry, are you actually assuming I'm Christian and moreover, a Catholic?
Here's a hint - I'm not, and neither is my family nor my family's family.
What's hypocritical and lazy is to assume one's religion because it is just easier to bash that way than to make an argument.
So yes, I'd say you do have a problem with Islam critics, because you're argument has ''yeah Islam does that, but some other irrelevant to the argument religion is doing this''.

Yes, I'd agree. However, I could apply such argument in saying, the reason Western countries don't have a capital punishment for stealing horses is because they don't have Genghis Khan type figure in power, but if he was, that's what would have happened.
The bigger question is why aren't they in power in the west and why it is unlikely they ever will be?

TBH Id rather live in a society where women get punished for having sex before marriage than in society where kids dont know who their fathers are.
- Hey kid!
- Hey
- Say, you're Martha's son?
- Yeah.. do I know you?
- No. But you mum gives great blowjobs! 20 friends of mine can vouch for that!

This assumes that in a society where women are treated like property, all children know who their fathers are. Nonsense conclusion.
But I disagree, given your scenario, I'd prefer to live in a society where women are equal and not beaten brutally, even if it means they'll be some illegitimate children.
