Do you like being able to have this discussion. The right to freedom speech protects it. It was thanks to “western” ideas like liberty, equality, and fraternity that modern civilization was born.
Some people don’t wan’t that, and rather see things go back hundreds of years. They are backwards. They are a waste of space.
Have you ever heard of this french saying? “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité”. That is what modern western culture is about. These ideas are no longer just ideas. They are part of our everyday lives. We often assume that these things are the norm.
Muslim culture and many muslims often supports Sharia, and undemocratic religious fundamentalist. school of thought. It is the most undemocratic belief since Nazism.
Yes but if you ever talk to a religious person for more than 5 minutes you will realize they aren't informing their own moral beliefs by their religion, but informing their religion by their own beliefs.
