A very interesting vid. I get a kick out of the Iman basically saying to her that since she does not believe as he does there is no point in talking to her.
nice find i enjoyed watching that and completely agrree with what she is saying everyone should watch this video
Not only this Iman, but pretty much everybody claiming to represent Islam directly or indirectly (I saw/heard/read) maintains that intolerance is an intrinsic property of their teachings.
Is that true? Must I (according to Islam) become a Moslem or else be their enemy?
Is Islam really inherently intolerant, or is that just one interpretation of it?
Afterall there are plenty of intolerant Jews/Cristians/andwhatnot as well. But these religions aren't inherently intolerant.
If indeed Islam ALWAYS preaches intolerance, why is it at all legal?
If I were to start a new religion that had (for example) Cannibalism among its "commandments", it'd be declared illegal by most/all Western nations. But Islam is/was not.

In one city park in Montreal on Sunday you can see large groupes of Sikhs in exotic clothing wearing real SWORDS! (Not "small daggers" - but fullsized swords) They look like some ancient warriors or something. But they are perfectly peaceful. So it's cool. I'm sure if their religion taught them to behead the heretics, they'd be banned.

Ironically enough cannibalism is not illegal in most countries. In the USA hypothetically an adherent of a cannible cult could voluntarily commit suicide (a crime) and the others use him to make soup and the only crimes that the eaters would be guilty of (as long as they did not assist the suicide) are improper disposal of human remains, and possibly hindering a coroner's inquest, both of those are I believe, misdemeanors.shekes said:

Yep. I lived in a muslim country (Iran) for two years and anyone who was not muslim was treated as a second class citizen. Hell in Saudi Arabia if you're a Saudi who decides Islam isn't for you they kill you. People of the book are Jews and Christians so most (not all) Islamic countries allow them to live within their borders as second class citizens. However any religion like Hindu, Buddhist, Daoist, Sikh etc. are infadels. More people in that region of the world need to stand up and speak out, and we can stop supporting the governments (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc.) that silence them. It just seems that we support the worst offenders in that part of the world yet attack and demonize the more religiously tolerant ones. This woman is braver than most in that part of the world. Believe this when I tell you that there are people in this country who would have us live in a religious state like those in the middle east. She's a secular humanist and atheist and how many times have you seen "conservative" radio talk show hosts, and televangalists attack them? Countless.
