As a feminist atheist I dislike all fundie religious beliefs. All of them and that includes Islamic nutbaggery so what?

I don't condone killing anyone for it. I just don't want their stupid fucking insanity touching my life at all ever in any way shape or form. Fuck no.

What in that video can be refuted by the #s and undisputed fact? I'm all ears. Why is that a pigsty? I'm inclined to listen to a Muslim woman who's laying down some #s, and yet open to contrary facts.

As to Sam Harris... He's entitled to his opinion. So what? I'm against curtailment of free speech.

I am a vocal opponent to Islamic law and find it offensive in every way. Sharia law is misogynistic, homophobic, anti-secular, anti-science, pro-slavery and ok with killing atheists. So yeah basically every value I hold dear, Islam opposes my right to exist without fear of punishment.

You must have overlookeds these parts, assuming you read past the headline. rug Feb 2016 #11

Could you please explain how anyone is "shielding" Harris here? trotsky Feb 2016 #14

If that is the case, I can't help you, trotsky. rug Feb 2016 #16

So, as I figured. trotsky Feb 2016 #18

aren't you being atheistphobic? MariaThinks Feb 2016 #33

Hardly. Harris and most of the others cited in the article are antitheists. rug Feb 2016 #39
