No, no, no. We are not talking about 2 or 3 "crazies in their midst". That is a dangerous euphemism. Muslim world is an universal and general case of abhorrent misogyny.

@COGITOERGOSUM I was engaged to a Muslim, so I've been around them quite a bit. I can say with all certainty that only a small percentage (like other religions) are fundamentalist assholes.

@kiramea I agree. I’ve lived in Morocco and Malaysia and spent a fair amount of time in other Muslim countries. I don’t see them as any worse than xtian but to their credit, I was never bothered by a single person about my atheism. However, I rarely encounter a xtian who hears I’m an atheist and then refrains from trying to either proselytize or comment in some way.

I almost agree.
Siddhartha Gautama himself, the best known "buddha", did teach the equality of both sexes, and asked his disciples to treat women as their equals. Then came Buddhism...

Yes... and to everyone!

Islam is horrible and Christianity is horrible.
"Two wrongs make a right" is a fallacy of "relevance". It is just a mistake to [try to] counter some wrongdoing with another wrongdoing.

@COGITOERGOSUM well i guess you didn't understand what i said. i mean you got the part up to OH WAIT and then either stopped reading or stopped comprehending.
