Ex-Muslims Respond To Attacks On Maher [View all]

[onager]

Excellent piece over at The Friendly Atheist. His guest columnists are a man and woman who co-founded an organization for ex-Muslims.

Much of our idiot media fell all over themselves praising Reza Aslan for his "fair, moderate" bla-bla criticism of Maher (and attacked Maher for "islamophobia.&quot

As the rebuttal shows, Aslan cherry-picked some of his facts, misrepresented others and occasionally outright lied.

Aslan also borrowed a neat trick from the Xians - giving undeserved credit to his religion for social change, when that religion fought/stalled change as long as it could. e.g., his "3 Islamic nations have women leaders!!!" When those are actually secular nations, where religion had to be separated from the government, sometimes forcibly.
