If a man beats his wife in front of his two children every day, and then one day one of the kids goes to school and punches a kid he disagrees with......who's to blame? Are you gonna say "the other kid didn't punch anyone, so the problem can't be in the environment".
Really dude??? Give it up!!
1.6 Billion people all read the same book. The book says to stone adulterers. A massive proportion of that 1.6 billion people take that exactly literally. Are all of those people independently and separately irrational? Or does the book bear some of the fucking blame?
and it doesn't matter how many of those people have actually participated in the stoning of an adulterer. The fact that such a sentiment is so prevalent should be enough cause for concern. Are you really saying we should just let that simmer, or should we start actively trying to change hearts and minds?
And if we are to change hearts and minds...where does the effort need to come from? Should it come from me? The middle aged christian atheist white american? Or should it come from the leaders in Islam who care about the direction of the faith, and helping the faith to evolve so it can be compatible with modern society. Every other religion has done this. You don't see Christians banishing menstruating women because of Leviticus!
So where are the fucking voices in Islam huh?????
How did the muslim world react to 9/11??
