    I get so angry seeing women in western democracies defending this barbaric subjugation of women.

    All religions suck, but Islam never having gone through any kind of reformation is a special kind of fucked up when it comes to women.

    Worst of all is seeing my liberal friends defending Islam, like some kind of PC pissing contest completely abandoning our brothers and sisters living in these theocracies.

      I wouldn’t necessarily say that everything about religions is bad. For example, Christmas is a religious holiday and I genuinely like it because I can meet with my family, friends and we give presents to each other. So there are some nice aspects of religions.

      However, living a life only according to a religion is quite stupid. You are just making your life harder for no good reason. Arguing that you should do something because <insert a religious reason here> is quite stupid.

      Same for hijabs. If the someone wants to wear it, then they are free to do so but forcing someone to wear it is just retarded. Sorry but I think there are more practical clothes when it’s 35 degrees outside and it should be everyone’s choice what to wear (as long as certain rules are respected such as no nudity unless otherwise stated).

      Simply said: many religious practices lack pragmatic reasoning behind them and make the life harder.

        Stating Christmas is a religious holiday and using the word retarded speaks volumes to your character

          I don’t understand, Christmas originated from the Christian religion, what exactly does it say about this person’s character?

            December 25 was the traditional date of the winter solstice in the Roman Empire,[45] where most Christians lived, and the Roman festival Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of Sol Invictus, the ‘Invincible Sun’) had been held on this date since 274 AD.[46]

            Using the word retarded is similar to using other derogatory slurs deemed hate speech.

            It didn’t though. Christmas was invented by the Christians to help convert Pagans of the time by saying that Christianity fits in with their celebrations. Christmas origins come from the Roman celebration of Saturnalia.

            Not exactly. Most Christian holidays are redefined existing holidays. Christmas was “oh everyone already celebrates a feast around midwinter, let’s make it a celebration of the birth of Jesus so we can still do the celebration but in a Christian way”.
