What if "the oppressed" would be absolutely happy to oppress you too if they were given the chance? When a religion encourages slavery and sxx slavery amongst other things, people should be perfectly entitled to express their hatred for people who subscribe to that ideology whether they are supposedly "oppressed" or not.

If you read the Quran in your native language, you will be astonished! This book is different from the books of Jews and Christians.
@Endubis Місяць тому
It is recommended to recite the Quran in Arabic, as it is the original language of the revelation. However, it is also beneficial to study its interpretation (tafsir) in a language you understand best. For instance, as a fluent German speaker and proficient in Arabic and English, you may find it more comprehensive to read the Quran in Arabic and delve into its interpretation in your preferred language. Personally, I have found translations into German and English somewhat lacking in conveying the full depth and richness of the Quranic text.

I may be an atheist but I came by that honestly. I was raised Catholic. Today I still believe that we should leave people to their faiths. I have no need for it but others may do and that’s not my business. As far as I’ve always understood it, faith is meant to be a private practice and it’s perfectly ordinary for people to practice it. The problem is when zealots like white Christian Nationalists as in the states, start hating on already marginalized groups. That’s when I start judging this filth. See? It’s already started.

Mehdi Hassan is a joke! In one of his debates with Dawkins he claimed he believed that the story about a winged horse was literally true!! Unless he has revised his opinion since that, I would venture there is little point arguing with someone who clearly has such scant regard for evidence or scientific reasoning.
@Phil_Mitchell 28 днів тому
This, and I bet if it was revealed that a senior journalist in America for example turned out to believe in miracles from the Bible, he would get at least as much criticism as Mehdi if not moreso. In fact much moreso because that person would find it hard to argue that his critics' were being 'Christianophobic'.

It is weird for Dawkins to lament people not showing up to church. I’m also an atheist, and while I’ll go to churches if invited for some event friends are having (baptism, marriage, funeral, etc.), it’s a bit awkward sitting there while people regularly pray and I’m just looking around the room. I fully agree with people choosing not to go regularly, I’m not sure why Dawkins would find it problematic. If you don’t believe, it’s just sitting in a room. Have people over for lunch if you want community.

People are tolerated when they aren’t intolerant . Freedoms are earned and based on sacrifice and not up for debate . This is a secular society and it has no room on that basis for intolerance from anyone or any religion . The Muslim , Jewish , Hindu , Christian and non religious communities all have a responsibility to not expect preference or special treatment .
