Not even remotely funny just corny. People on here try so hard to be edgy. Fail.

Anyway if she is a muslim then good for her because I believe in freedom of religion.

What kind of "I'm not racist I have black friends" type of foolery? You're speaking of a few incidents that, again, do not affect you and basing your incredibly ignorant opinion on an entire religion upon it? You mentioned how Islam's treatment of women is "anything but evolved" yet the Qur'an worships women. Sadly these surahs have been manipulated and stripped of their meaning by bad scholars but the actual religion and teaching and practices are anything but oppressive. Women are respected.

Therefore it is a "cultural" thing. It's mannerisms and misunderstanding of faith. I know, as a queer South Asian, that homo/transphobia was absent from my culture (despite being present in Arab culture - where are you coming from?) until British and American colonialism came. Religion and culture are not synonymous.

I know that the story of Lut in the Qur'an has been misinterpreted (but you wouldn't know about that since it is not your religion, right?) and I know that hadiths in the holy book praise and worship our mothers and sisters and daughters.

Do not speak for a religion with your biased and hateful opinion that has been passed to you by people likewise and not actual believers.

What is an actual believer? Religion is interpretive.

SMH you can't say anything on here without people accusing you of being islamphobic ..

I love how on ATRL threads about religion there will be the gays RUNNING in to defend the religion/s that all show bigotry and disrespect to us and the LGBT community on the daily. But any of us say one thing that is 'disrespectful' to a religion all hell breaks loose

[Elusive Chanteuse]

I only see like three actual Islamophobic comments in here. The word is so overused. lol

[jackieshann]

Surely converting to Islam is one huge contradiction to everything she stood for her in her career?

MTE .. like the people you are defending will most likely hate your sexuality and think you're going to hell e.t.c

She can be a muslim if she wants. As long as she doesn't hurt anybody it's fine.

An actual Muslim: somebody who identifies as a Muslim and follows Islam - come on.

How dare you say it does not affect me? You don't know me or my circle, so keep your generalisations to yourself, thanks. I have cussed out all the abrahamic religions in previous posts/threads. I'm not anti-Muslim. I'm against the subjugation of women, I've cussed out Judaism and Christianity in a similar manner on a discussion forum I use.

Similar cries of "misinterpretation" are used to defend theistic beliefs that hold women down. I think we are probably going too deep for ATRL, so I'm going to nip out for a pint of milk and bop to All For You on my way.

One whose interpretation is consistent with the orthodox interpretation not with the fundamentalist/radical one.

No religion tells you to kill people. Closed minded people does represent it like that. I have a lot of Muslim, Christian etc. friends. I do have heterosexual, Homosexual, Bisexual friends. I have also friends from a lot of different countries and what me makes love them is what kind of people they are. Not what they are believing in. Why would i care. I want their love not their Beliefs.

I wish it was that tame. The Qur'an calls for its followers to murder and stone any homosexuals. As a compassionate, peace-seeking human being in the 21st century I cannot condone this kind of savage ideology. It is inexcusable.

Frankly, the girls shouldn't be that surprised why not everyone here agrees with the teachings of their religion.

[Uglybarbie]

Why would anyone in their right mind convert to that religion. That religion Is often associated with wife beating, female suppression, homosexual killings...she must be brain washed

[KillingYourCareer]

Well? This Danish singer says inshallah too in her song and she's not a muslim

Irrelevant, her saying it might teach Americans how to wake up and stop being so ...ignorant if they still attack anyone who does anything Muslim.

I've lost friends via enforced marriage. Taz was made to wear a full burkha when she married a stranger and none of us have ever heard from her again. I could easily get mad/drag on this but I agree it isn't the place. I'm happy Janet has found faith, may it be a comfort to her.

Azma has been on lockdown ever since her older sister escaped. I use their first names to personalise their stories. Islam's treatment of women is anything but "evolved" and I challenge every word of your post.

You are ANNOYING. We get it we bloody get it you have issues with Islam for some reason, you have ONE case of someone who is like this. GUESS WHAT! One case doesn't represent an entire religion, as someone who has 3 sisters that got married from 3 GCC countries neither one of them was forced and 2 of them don't even wear the hijab. Stop being so damn extra

It annoys me like some religious people will smoke, drink have sex before marriage but still be like "I don't like gay marriage it's against gods will"

Honestly If i was religious and I knew my religion was doing this.. I would walk away from that religion within one second.
