“Female circumcision community, male circumcision community, genital mutilation...”

thekipicookbook-deactivated2012 asked: I think what both parties failed to do was refer to the actual scripture of the Qur’an. The opposing side, (Douglass and Ayann) could have easily used Qur’an scripture as a rebuttal. Frankly, any Abrahamic religion prides itself on the following of scripture, despite the fact they also choose to interpret it. However, the Qur’an is the best example for their rebuttal of how...

juthikaforpresident-deactivated asked: I would like to add something that Islam is not a perfect religion, since it was made by man. Allah may be perfect and He may be out there, but Islam is not a perfect religion logically because the Qur'an was made by people, and people are imperfect. Islamic theology originally comes from the Qur'an and Hadiths which were made by people. Basically, the Creator may be perfect, but the...

213112 asked: Well, firstly, thanks for taking the time to write a good response.
I don't find my critique lacking at all. You stated that you had a problem with Islam. You have no knowledge of Islam..how then can you have a problem? It's a very simple critique. Nothing to find problems with. I can't say I have problems with Christianity because I don't know much about it....

213112 asked: Hey. Just thought I should let you know you might want to word things a little better.
You said "My Biggest Problem with Islam".. What you have written there is not your problem with Islam.. it's your problem with people, with Muslims. The people, though they should ALL be a perfect portrayal of the religion, it just doesn't happen.
I could just as well have...

motherforgiveme replied to your post: motherforgiveme replied to your video: Sam Harris…
Well I wasn’t joking, what I mean is that religious beliefs and faith in them do not have to operate on human logic and for the most part are illogical. That however does not make them invalid. I think Harris makes an interesting albeit moot point.
There are many believers who don’t realize...

motherforgiveme replied to your video: Sam Harris on The Credibility of Biblical…
I think the mistake you’re making is assuming that religion and faith have to be based on logic.
I’m unsure if you’re joking but I certainly don’t think many people even attempt to base their religious beliefs off of logic however I think it can be quite useful to see explanations like...

A New Argument for God?
I would like to hear a new argument for god from a theist.
I shamelessly stole this idea/challenge from Martin Wagner of The Atheist Experience because I so wholeheartedly agree who said:
What I would like to hear, it doesn’t even have to be today but at some future show, an argument that doesn’t fall under the category P.R.A.T.T. …P.R.A.T.T. is an acronym that means...

My Biggest Problem With Islam
When people tell you only a small subset of Muslims are extremists or support terrorism they are correct, so long as they are referring to suicide bombings and people like Osama Bin Laden, but what they fail to mention is the large portions of them favor actions that would be called extremist under any other circumstance except with discussing Islam.
This poll, published just last December,...

hatefulatheist replied to your link: Wiki Islam
I think I just have to go through your page sometime and set up bookmarks of all the things I need to keep for future reference, I’m still burning through a bunch of the 500+ debates from the link you posted.
I’ve been meaning to create a list of useful links that I’ve posted but clearly I’ve been procrastinating as it...

thekipicookbook replied to your video: Douglas Murray - Islam a Religion of Peace? …
I am half way through the debate, unfortunately I have work and can not watch it all now but I shall let you know my thoughts if you are interested.
I would love to hear your thoughts. I have some rather strong thoughts on the debate and would definitely enjoy hearing what you thought of it.

Wiki Islam →
I recently discovered this useful site which gives a comprehensive account of most every issue to do with Islam and seem to meet their goal of being “the one-stop source of high-quality factual and objective information about Islam.”
In addition to their encyclopedic style articles they host up to date translations of Islamic articles from around the world.
They even host a list of...

Why the Special Treatment?
A human rights activist is on television criticizing Christianity, both it’s scriptures and it’s practices, for being anti-homosexual and oppressive towards women. She quotes poll after poll and the actions that show this is an inherent problem in Christianity. She says Christians should admit these oppressive ideas are in the texts and have long been a part of Christian history but...

And Now For Something Completely Different
Today’s going to be a little different. There very likely won’t be any analysis from me or serious talks from famous skeptics about the perils of religion and pseudoscience. Instead there will just be a series of clips joking about these serious issues.
Fear not (I’m sure no one actually is but it’s still funny to say that) I shall return to normalcy tomorrow.
