Honestly I've never met anyone born into a Muslim family as apologetic as you. I guess whatever it takes to earn internet popularity, even if it means throwing your own kind under the bus.
BigBobs - Clearly you don't know me well enough - because if you did, you'd know I could give two shits about "internet popularity"
In general I'm pretty much against all organized religion... but I'm a bit more outspoken regarding my feelings about my "own kind's" religion because thats what I've had the most interaction with... and through it.... I've met some fucked up people that have said and done some fucked up things in the name of their religion. You forget I was born and raised in the Middle East, brought up in a Muslim household, I even went back after studying in the US to live and work there, and when I decided to come back to the US, I was damn happy aboutit.
I'm not apologetic. I just don't buy into it and don't support it. Even when I was practicing, praying everyday, fasting, studying the koran, doing all that good stuff we're supposed to do.... I was never so overly sensitive about the religion as you are.
BigBob's - you want to practice this religion, go right ahead and do so, I don't give a fuck.... but don't tell me I'm throwing anybody under the bus when I tell someone exactly how I feel about it based on what I have experienced as a person who once voluntarily practiced this religion.
