[@LeftLobeality]

+RatchildUK Not much of one really, because when religion is most powerful - it's about force and subjection of the masses. Many christians were under the same conditions in middle aged Europe. Try saying "I'm not a muslim" in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, or "I'm no christian" in iron age France, etc. Lets just modify the original point by the op to say... "I'm allowed to scrutinize anything that is learned or chosen , being born who you are is not a choice, but what is thereafter learned or chosen by means of culture is always subject to criticism."   That's much better, and "scrutinise" is fixed.

[@dragonboosterbow2895]

Right to speak

[@hammadhussain3082]

I agree.

[@abdolvakilfazli2488]

The fact and the matter that Muslim say this is because they found this religious unquestionable. And they found the answers for that from Quran. But actually in Quran many times it has been stated that even people from other relegions and other faculties of thinking are welcome to talk criticize and question. Even Ibrahim once asked from god how could you bring back all people with the same quality that they have right now in the eart? He was just curious to know. God punished him? No. He asked Ibrahim to do sth and then proved him. So, questioning in Islam is not prohibited. You never see a verse in Quran saying Do/tell and then Listen. In most verses and hadises the order is to first Listen and then Do/tell/ or act or whatever. So, since you have the power to choose and god gave you the power to do so, which is the first thing that distignuishes human beings from other creatures, then the essential thing in Islam is questioning and thinking. We have a hadis from Muhammed saying one hour of thinking is better than seventy years of praying. Also I think media especially in US are bringing people who does not have the resolution to answer the questions in the right manner and with the right words. If that was the case we have had many pple transformed into Islam. So, Islam is not pictured as it is. God bless you

Dumbass, a secular Muslim is someone who believes in the separation of church and state but is Muslim.

[@MusaMansu]

What nonsense. Are you a Christian? All religious he texts contradict themselves. Believers pick and choose the lessons they want to use to guide their lives. Under ataturk, turkey was a secular muslim country. It can be done and has happened before.

[@MrPotatoPro]

d dave Ataturk Turkey was and still remains a secular nation. Islam was abolished as the state religion with the dissolution of the caliphate in 1922. And Islamic doctrine has been ignored ever since. Claiming that Turkey is some poster child for new-age secular Islam shows that you know nothing about Islam or the Quran. It's blatant disregard for Quranic teaching, rather than a "secular" form of Islam. In fact the act of removing Islam as the state religion was an act of fitnah, publishable by death in Surah 2 passages 191 and 193 of the Quran (2:191-193). And to answer your question I'm not Christian. I have similar issues with the Bible as I do with the Quran and the Torah. As you know the Old Testament is filled with abhorrent teachings. Even If I were to ignore the content of the Books, I still find the prospect that an omnipotent, omniscient, sentient, celestial entity, with an unknowable and vastly more unlikely origin than the scientific theories for the origin of the Universe, to be Idiotic.

[@late8641]

Listen now. Criticizing Islam is not islamophobia. We have to be able to criticize ideas. We are not being bigoted toward Muslims as people when we criticize the religion. Also, Muslims who hold reprehensible views are not a minority. They are the majority. If you are a homosexual or an apostate in almost any Muslim country, you have to fear for your life because the majority of Muslims believe death or imprisonment is the appropriate punishment for these things. Also, the majority of Muslims believe that women are lesser than men.

[@themanclaw2]

This lady just speaks on and on without thinking, and refusing to listen to opposing arguments. You can tell Maher just gave up with her because he knows she's not open to reason on this subject. I don't even like Maher that much, but Jesus fuck, these people seem to have it set in their minds that criticizing a RELIGION-- a set of ideas, is the same as criticizing a race. Is Maher a bigot when he criticizes Christianity? Do they presume him to mean he hates all Christians when he criticizes the bible? No. Now why is it that Islam gets the double standard? It's ridiculous. A tell-tale sign that an opposition doesn't have much stand on is that their efforts focus on suppressing the dissent of outside opinions.

[@nonofyabidnez5737]

I also don’t have to kill anyone to make them believe in my views. 😅 I love how Muslims in the West have free speech to hate on and try to conform others to their way of thinking. Only issue with that is when you run across someone who makes sense you can’t argue with him or her. You have to ask yourself if I’m wrong, then what’s the correct answer and do your research. Research usually leads you to the truth if you’re willing to accept it. My family still doesn’t want to accept unfortunately but they can’t argue facts.

"How many gay bars are in Gaza?" is exactly the right question, because that's the point. You can be gay in a muslim country, but you could never identify publically as so. It is impossible for a religious state to not oppress it's people.

[@neuroIogy]

That is not the right question. The Muslim issue aside, it is despicably hypocritical of Bill to accuse Gaza of being primitive and a violator of human rights given that he is a vehement supporter of Israel: the state that is responsible for mass destruction, ethnic cleansing, and stifling progress of all kinds in Gaza.

[@nate3356]

neuroIogy Bill Maher is not a vehement supporter of Israel. He doesn't think religious states should exist at all. From his movie Religious: "I'm sorry Jewish friends, but the Jews are as cuckoo as anyone". There are 100x as many Muslims as Jews in the world. Look at the portion of that mocumentary film he dedicated to ridiculing Judaism. Bill criticizes ALL religion. You are apparently just determined to be offended by this one particular critique.

[@neuroIogy]

Nate in Seattle Israel and Judaism are not the same thing. The quote you provided only pertains to the latter. Every time the issue of Israeli aggression against Palestine has come up on his show, including its most recent series of massacres called "Operation Protective Edge", he has supported it with vehemence and has repeatedly made it clear that he is averse to Gaza's resistance and desire for change.

[@neuroIogy]

***** Nor do "we" need another genocidal bloodthirsty state that has no regard for international laws or human suffering.

Nate in Seattle I do not know why Maher supports Israel, but that he supports it can not be argued. He invariably states his support on his show and in interviews when the topic arises, and I challenge you to provide anything that proves the contrary.

I’m sure we’re not in a position to force anyone into Islam but we’re growing each day. There’re thousands of gospels and all pray to Jesus Christ. Come into the light before it’s too late. Jesus Christ never claimed divinity even once in the Bible. How can God preach one single God in the Old Testament and becomes three Gods in the New Testament???
