    Huh, Islam TIL has rules to avoid the stronger people doing as they please.

    Not sure how many women would agree with that statement. Also there were laws in the area before Islam.

    If you imagine Muhammad brought peace and quiet to the region I have bad news.

      You clearly have an unhealthy obsession with Islam, judging from your past comment history. I thought I was talking to just someone with an interest in sociology and origins of religion, my mistake.

      And yes, all religions were pretty much popular revolutionary movements designed to uproot hierarchy in their beginnings. That changed as they became the hierarchy. I don’t know how you imagine the 7th century to be like, but it was a world full of warfare and women had more or less no rights.

        Id like to think I dislike all religions equally to be honest with the possible exception of Buddhism if you call that a religion.

        I’ve lived and travelled in the Islamic world widely and I take a dim view on its effect on people. I also take a dim view of rape, murder and terrorism but call me crazy - not necessarily Islamic but you guys seem to be making it your brand lately.

          You’re straight from r/atheism I guess. And yes, Buddhism is a religion.

          Ah yes, of course you’ve travelled ‘widely’, and likely have a Muslim friend who shares your opinions. I take a dim view on the effect of r/atheism to your psyche as well, but you’re also an interesting case, just like religion and zealots. I imagine you looked down on every person you met in the Muslim world for believing in a sky fairy, then used every negative experience to justify your biases. I certainly can’t imagine an objective judgement, and who are you to judge, really?

          Oh no! You take a dim view on rape and murder? What a controversial opinion! Bravo! Guess who else? All major religions. And who exactly are ‘you guys’? I am agnostic. Why make pointless strawmen?
