The Hijab and all other Islamic coverings are nothing more than walking billboards telling the world that the woman is a follower of a religion that teaches hate, discrimination and violence.

The hijab tells us that the woman believes murder, plunder, torture, rape and enslavement are not really wrong, it only depends on who is doing these to whom --- for example, the vile actions of her dear prophet are of no concern to her, but please no unkind words about her religion because that is evil.

A Muslim will say that she wears the garment to honor her god – a god, btw, that delights in brutal torture, according to the Quran (cutting off hands and feet, crucifixion, cutting off fingers, pouring boiling oil down throats, and every Muslims favorite, when Allah roasts the skin off infidels then miraculously restores it so he can repeat the torture). It is really comforting to know that the woman wearing the hijab thinks this is wonderful.

Then there are the tortures that Mohammad came up with on his own, as narrated in Islamic traditions, like building a fire on Kinana’s chest (Mo wanted treasure, but there was none), putting out eyes with hot nails and having Mohammad’s adopted son Zayd do this to an old woman named Umm Qirfa, I quote: "tied each of her legs with a rope and tied the ropes to camels, and they split her in two." Remember, Mohammad is the perfect man and did no wrong.

We could talk about Asma bint Maran being murdered while nursing her child or the pregnant woman being split open for offending Ifti’s “Perfect Man” but why bother? He is a True Believer, and true believers are impervious to facts or moral values.

Oh yes, about Khawlah Noman’s “they cut my hijab” hoax in Canada this week… What makes an 11-year old girl (and mother and brother) lie about an attack? I would say it is just Muslims being Muslims, doing what Islam teaches, promoting the Quranic concept that non-Muslims are evil and they are wonderful but so persecuted (snif).

I would not be surprised if what kactuz has posted above is true. I have never read the 'Koran', I think its called the Koran, not the Quran, a small point. I spent too much wasted time reading the nonsense in the Christian Bible, another publication from the Dark Ages. Give my stomach another 20 years to digest that load of rubbish, and I might have a read of this Koran. I have also read other religious text, and they all seem to be written in the same vain.

I thank God, I am an Atheist!

BTW, that does not stop me from supporting the rights of people, be they Muslim, Christian or anything else. I am often wrongly accused on the forum, since I am a progressive socialists in outlook, of being soft on Islam. As an Atheist I say, to the Devil with them, and all religions can go to Hell!

Paul, Sadly the references are true -- and quite easy to find using a search engine. Not that facts will make any difference to Muslims.

Notice that Iftikhar has never accused me of making up verses, because he believes that Islam is wonderful and Mohammed is perfect and and and and nothing can change his mind because Islam is wonderful and Mohammed is perfect -- so there, that settles it and all the rest of reality is irrelevant to his world.

People like our Muslim friend can read about Mohammad and his merry men standing with their plunder on a pile of broken dead bodies as his men rape the captives and proclaim "Allahu Akbar" with rapturous joy.

Another day and week past and Turkish Muslims are bombing Afrin and killing Syrian Muslims, including children; Afghan Muslims are killing people in a hotel while they eat, including children; and lets not forget the dozens of Muslims killed by Muslims in a Kabul mosque ---- and Iftikhar, bless his soul, is leading a campaign against ... bacon.

Wonder how many people were killed by bacon this past week....

Nothing wrong with being an Atheist, Paul, just stay away from Islamic societies.

In Florida, America, a man was sentenced to 15 years jail, plus 15 years probation on release, after he damaged a mosque and left a piece of bacon in it. The court deemed this to be a hate crime.

In Wuppertal, Germany, two Muslim illegal immigrants burn down a synagogue. They went unpunished, the court deciding that their action was political rather than a anti-Semitic hate crime.

The Islamic teaching that infidels will perish “by their own hand” is proving to be correct.

This is sort of thing is what we should be concentrating on. This is what is important about Islam, not how virtuous their women are, or what they wear.

Yep many like Paul hate the bible because it uncovers his hypocrisy perfectly and yet apologise for Islam because they know it is as putried as secularism. Kind of like the feminsist who hate Trump so much but would of been happy to see Clinton elected despite a history of total corruption.

In 2017, Muslims killed more than 10 Christians per day on the African continent.
