Islam, the religion of "peace".

I thought since we get this vapid claim from Muslims on here occasionally, we might dedicate a thread to the many victims of this religion of peace, globally.

It's worth remembering that while terrorism gets a massively disproportionate news coverage, especially in the West, most of the victims of this religion live in countries that are strict Islamic theocracies, where they have no rights. Women and girls in particular are victimised and abused in the name of Islam.

Now while we see Islamic apologists on here weasel around koranic texts condoning violence behind the claim extremists are not representative of "most Muslims" it's far harder to wave away the tens of millions of ordinary male Muslims who treat their female relatives as little more than chattel.

Today I will start by highlighting the case of an 18 year old girl, who has fled her abusive Muslim father and country of Saudi Arabia in fear of her life after renouncing her Islamic faith. Let's not forget that SFTwas too much of a coward to answer me when I asked what the penalty for apostasy was in Islam. Well he should be ashamed at the courage of an 18 year old girl who knows only too well what awaits her if she is forced back to Saudi and her father.

"Saudi teenager Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun waits in Thailand on asylum bid. The 18-year-old who says she renounced Islam and fled her abusive family while traveling in Kuwait is to be allowed to stay in Thailand while the UN evaluates her case. She sent out pleas for help via Twitter.'

"Alqunun said she wanted to apply for asylum in a safe country, such as Australia, Canada, the US or the UK. Via Twitter she wrote that she feared for her life if she was sent back to Saudi Arabia where she said she was being forced into a marriage. She also said she had given up Islam."

She has of course been receiving death threats after renouncing Islam, as this despite SFT's reticence, is the penalty throughout most of the Muslim world for those who dare reject that religion.

The religion of "peace"...

As the late Christopher Hitchens once said...

"Many religions now come before us with ingratiating smirks and outspread hands, like an unctuous merchant in a bazaar. They offer consolation and solidarity and uplift, competing as they do in a marketplace. But we have a right to remember how barbarically they behaved when they were strong and were making an offer that people could not refuse."

Bear this in mind the next time ROYISM or SFT start their sickly spiel. Then note how little of theirrhetoric denounces the abuses of human rights that occur daily throughout the Muslim world.

Objective morality anyone?
