Now, this is a nice religion. It protects women, and doesn't allow men to "break their bones".
Again, What year are we in?

"Wives can be beaten as long as no bones are broken as a result of the beating . The declarations of the great Imam of Al Azhar, Ahmed el Tayeb, sheltering a gender violence that is still a taboo enclosed within the walls of Egyptian homes...

It's not just Islam. I've heard Christians say the exact same thing.

Personally I'm getting really tired of the Muslim bashing. They're not the only group of people who have crazies in their midst.

No, no, no. We are not talking about 2 or 3 "crazies in their midst". That is a dangerous euphemism. Muslim world is an universal and general case of abhorrent misogyny.

@COGITOERGOSUM I was engaged to a Muslim, so I've been around them quite a bit. I can say with all certainty that only a small percentage (like other religions) are fundamentalist assholes.

@kiramea I agree. I’ve lived in Morocco and Malaysia and spent a fair amount of time in other Muslim countries. I don’t see them as any worse than xtian but to their credit, I was never bothered by a single person about my atheism. However, I rarely encounter a xtian who hears I’m an atheist and then refrains from trying to either proselytize or comment in some way.

Hindus and Buddhists also treat women like shit. Religion gives shit people excuses to do bad things and compels good people to do bad things. Fuck them all

I almost agree.
Siddhartha Gautama himself, the best known "buddha", did teach the equality of both sexes, and asked his disciples to treat women as their equals. Then came Buddhism...

There are websites for christian men on how to hit their wives "Christian Domestic Discipline" and websites for muslim giving similar advice. Religions are cruel to women.

I googled domestic violence and got 4.24 million hits in 0.297456 seconds which to be fair blew my record right out of the water.

yes islam is horrible, isn't it? i mean, it's not as if christians beat their children and marry 12-year-olds. oh wait, only SOME christians do? only SOME christian pastors advocate this? but if one imama says it, i guess that means ALL muslims believe this, right?

Islam is horrible and Christianity is horrible.
"Two wrongs make a right" is a fallacy of "relevance". It is just a mistake to [try to] counter some wrongdoing with another wrongdoing.

@COGITOERGOSUM well i guess you didn't understand what i said. i mean you got the part up to OH WAIT and then either stopped reading or stopped comprehending.
