Dad lets daughter drown in Dubai so she's not 'dishonored' by male lifeguards' touch

67. But every time I - or anyone - dares to say "Islam IS the cause of honor killings"

we are silenced. Shouted down and called names.

Islam will change for the better only when Muslims start facing its inherent problems and criticizing it and finding a way to rework it. It can happen.

But Muslims are taught never to criticize or question religious rules, and not to use logic to reason things out. It's like, when their brains are in danger of asking an uncomfortable question that might lead to doubt, then boom! a wall slams down and they snap back to, "I believe, I believe. Alif. mim. Nuun. And Allah knows best."

I want people like YOU to use reason. I want to show you the ways in which Islam creates, step by step, all the ingredients of an honor killing - everything but the final swipe of the knife across the throat.

I want you to get it - not so you can go out and rail at random Muslims (that's nasty and counterproductive) but just so you will be able to see through the obfuscations and excuses.

Because if a lot of non Muslim people finally get it, that understanding is going to percolate through the country. And eventually American Muslims (maybe not this generation, but soon) are going to eventually listen. And some will start thinking critically. And they are the ones who CAN lead Islam out of its fucking murderous swamp.

But first: people like you have to stop saying "religion of peace, blah blah blah." and blindly agreeing with the self-deceptions Muslims feed themselves, and each other, and especially people like you.

I don't want you to hate Islam - I want you to understand it.

But first you would have to stop resisting me ... even though I make you uncomfortable.

God, it's late and I doubt I am even making sense anymore... Beat wishes and good night, now.
