Horrified by the recent murder of Kawthar al-Husayjawi, one of her female relatives describes what happened – and her fears for other women and girls forced into early marriage in Iraq
I’ll happily condemn any ideology (not just religious ones) that teaches people it is okay to force underage girls into marriage and murder them when they try to escape.
Were you aware that child marriage is legal in most of the US and attempts to close state level loopholes are fought tooth and nail, often successfully, by Evangelicals? The form of child rape we’re more familiar with isn’t better than people halfway across the world doing the same thing.
Disconnecting religion from law & institutions was a brutal process that took centuries here in Europe, and it is very disconcerting to see organized religion exerting an increasing influence in society. In the US it is less “freedom from religion” (like we have here) and more “freedom of religion” (please pick one).
More of a question for the two dozen or so people upvoting the comments. Even if they’re trolling (and not just an islamophobe), there’s clearly a fair number of people that think these are reasonable opinions to hold. Getting people to think about the beliefs they hold is an important part of reducing -phobic behavior in general.
What do you think islam is?
How does this describe Islam specifically and not any religious group with fundamentalists?
You’re right!

Did you have one in mind?

Yes, I was.

Don’t feed the trolls

As I said, you don’t have the mental capacity to process what’s wrong with your comment. Try to evolve a bit.
It’s a good thing we’ve got you here to tell people they’re stupid and should evolve.
Stop being in denial, it’s all over most holy books, and especially the one that condoned this specific murder.
But you didn’t say that. You said “No” it wasn’t islam, then you described islam.
You’ll understand one day instead of whatever this is you’re doing here.
