    Respectfully, you think I’m denigrating Islam because it’s different from what I believe?

    No.

    I’m simply pointing out what, to anyone who wasn’t raised in it, is obvious stupidity.

      Sorry if I misunderstood. I interpreted your comment as saying that all religion was moronic bullshit, which would be in line with what I said.

      If you meant that this particular religious behavior is moronic bullshit, I completely agree. I just don’t hold the view that every religious person is a moron because they believe in a religion.

        All religions are moronic bullshit. People are free to believe what they like, no one has a need for rules that tell them how to believe.

        Not all religion is bullshit, but there is a lot of crossover between religious teachings and bullshit. That’s why they invented the word ‘faith’, because they are self-aware of the incredulousness of it all.

        Like the utter bullshit in this article, as if 7th Century teachings have anything to say about VPN’s.

      Muslim here, this “ruling” is nonsense and is just one dumb political opinion that the rest of the Muslim world is mocking. This isn’t Islam.
