If this post is dated before 2011, I almost certainly do not agree with its contents any more. I had a profound philosophical shift that began in early 2010, which ultimately left me somewhere left of center. Please disregard all right-wing, nutjob ramblings you may find here.
Don’t you just love a cult religion that will kill you if you decide to leave it?
According to Mr. Badry, Mr. Hegazy deserves the death sentence for leaving Islam. Souaad Kamel, the outgoing dean of Islamic Study for girls at Al-Azhar University, stated on the air that Mr. Hegazy should be beheaded to fulfill the religious requirements. [emphasis mine]
Read the rest and bask in the “peace” coming from such a wonderful religion.
Ya know Joey the slamming of Islam is a bit old. You say you’re a Christian and I know you’re well aware that Christianity has it’s own bucketful of nuts just like Islam. The difference is you keep hearing about the nuts in Islam.
I know a lot of Muslims and none of them act like this nor do they condone it. Get off the high horse. After all….believing in “intelligent design” is pretty damn nutty as well. The only issue is that Islam and much of the Middle East happens to be socially where Europe (well..parts of Europe…don’t forget it was only about a decade or so ago that Serbs were slaughtering everyone else for similar reasons) was about 800 years ago.
Humans are capable, and would be better off, evolving socially without religion. There has been more hate and violence perpetrated in the name of religion than anything else in human history. Maybe its time to write it off as a failed experiment?
