i was reading a blog post written by Ericka M. Johnson is reply to a call for atheists all over the world to give some attention to Islam "Dear atheist, we ex-Muslims are waiting for you"
She has summarized why Islam is a consummation of all the worst that religion has to offer:
it was very well written and thought i might share it here.
However i don't agree that we should be waiting for atheist from all over the world to fight our war while we wait and see .. i think we have more responsibilities as we know more of that religion and know the mentality deriving it .. we know exactly where it hurts.
it's our responsibility to speak out, criticize and question that religion.

Note: the article makes no mention of Islam (a large purveyor of FGM).
Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that one can always speak out against the brutalities with out speaking against the religion. Maybe this approach will be helpful in deconstructing Sharia'.
Any thoughts?

Pope OoO (Out of Order)
Faith that is forced upon one rather than allowed to be organic is false. Any religion or government that prescribes punishment for non-belief or critcism of it is not worthy of respect. This is why we believe in and allow Freedom of Speech.
Perhaps if the above could be sloganized and as consumable as (say) soft drinks?

This just in, from The Secular Coalition For America:
I would suspect that torpedoes the Islamic-proposed resolution for making it an international crime to criticize religions.
