110. I never claimed I was Muslim. Where did you get that idea?

I'm not claiming any expertise at all and I guess you can dismiss me as being deceitful if that suits you.

Does my post count disturb you or somehow discredit me?

The fact that you think a christian feminist is also impossible makes it very clear where you are coming from, and it is extreme and highly prejudiced.

Are you are saying that only a non-believer can be a true feminist or are there some religions where you would not see this as impossible.

If the qualifications for being a feminist require no religious belief, I suspect that would make you a member of a highly exclusive group, but it would not make you representative of women in general at all.

At any rate, I see where you are at and I will leave you there. I have never seen someone this far on the fringes make a significant change to a more reasonable position, so I will not bother.
