    calling Islam a 7th century death cult is very racist.

    Far from all Muslim people advocate for controlling women like that. Make your point about sexism, but please do it without the racism.

    //EDIT: I knew people would get angry about my use of the word ‘racist’, when I made the post, but I hoped people wouldn’t be so nitpicky. Of course I know people of any race can be Muslim, but the idea of race is much more than just the colour of a person’s skin. Race is tied to culture is tied to religion. I could have used any word instead of racist, like ‘anti-muslim’, ‘xenophobic’ or just plain ‘hateful’. I used racist, because I believe all these things are connected, and by calling it racist I hope people can see that.

    Also, I’m an atheist myself, but Atheists really need to stop our war on religion. I hate organized religion and I will fight discrimination when I see it. But let people be.

      Religions are death squads that must be eliminated at all costs

      Tying a specific religion to a race is racist. Without further comments, OP’s post is antireligious.

      Islam is not a “race”. it’s not an immutable property of a person.

      I “let people be” when their religion doesn’t harm them or other people.

      And I don’t care if “not all Muslims think of women that way”. Their decisions/opinions make them better people, they don’t make Islam a better religion.

      This is, of course, not limited to Islam.
