10 reasons why the world cup is haraam.

The maldivian haabees have dissapointed me. really. :(

smoking is haraam, movies are haraam. music is haraam,secularism and democracy is haraam.tom and jerry and mickey mouse are haraam. travelling without a mahram,showing hair and using perfume are all haraam for women.and the list goes on.

They protest over changes in alchohol regulations, when a muslim converts, about the new curriculum,about diplomatic relations with israel, about something written on the internet..etc. They make facebook groups against their critics, against cocacola, issued death threats against secularists and that one guy who converted from islam for a few hours...etc.

BUT!

But they fail to issue any verdict against the worldcup. they did not protest against it, or even make a goddamned facebook group against it. instead they converted their haabee screens of doom (HSDs) in to worldcup screens, bought TVs for their homes/shops, and started enjoying the matches. you heard it. they are ENJOYING a worldly sport. what the frack is this? something is really wrong here.

im not gonna just sit around when the only passionate and devoted buncha people (you so-called liberals are wussies!) in my country screw up over some lame game. (apologies, football fans. no disrespect. but i dont like football).... so i decided to set aside our differences and help them out. i decided to do it for them and get everything back to normal.for this reason today...today im gonna frigging give a fatwah. oh yeah. brother moyameehaa is gonna give you one really kickass fatwa today. now listen! read!

[taliban militants demonstrating the proper use of a soccer field.]

the world cup is haraam for many reasons. but since 10 is an important and serious number; id give you ten reasons. they are:

1. men displaying their awrah (hedhun laigen oriyaamun, as our beloved mullahs would/should put it). behaving in ways which can provoke sexual desires of women and gay men. immodesty.
   
   
2. supporting kafir nations like the evil america and portugese!?! this is unacceptable. imitating the kuffaar is common during worldcups. wearing their jerseys, flags and copying their hairstyles. then there are the vuvuzelas. obviously it is not really a 'musical' instrument, but it is part of south african kafir culture and made in kafir communist china!
   
   
3. people watching football even when it is prayer time. just like music is haraam for being an 'idle waste of time'. a friend told me there were only two rows in their neighbourgood mosque when the game was on. i told him even those few people could problyy be the hardcore supporters of some team praying for victory.
   
   
4. too much female skin. there are the football fan chicks and cheerleading gals - flashing once in a while. yeah, this is the only time you get to see a naked boob on maldivian national television. and therez the waka waka song. it is straight from hell. what moves. what the shakira! masha allah! i mean, naoozbillah.
   
   
5. people waste a lot of money buying TVs,sound systems (to 'listen' to worldcup yeah), setting up screens, decorating rooms,buying airtel dish (which is also haraam for showing christian channels),buying a lot of food,buying calendars, books,stickers...etc. such waste of money are always haraam.
   
   
6. media and some local companies have started betting on these games in the name of sms lucky draw quiz. more haraam activities.
   
   
7. people stay late to watch football. its a cause for being late for work, and sometimes causes you to miss dhamunamaadhu and fajr prayer. and staying up late for such an evil activity and missing prayers because of that is totally unacceptable. it is leading you astray. haraam again.
   
   
8. mixing of men and women at the football stadium and places (public screens and even rooms) where people watch the matches. we can hear women laughing and screaming too.calling out names of football players. astaghfirullah.
   
   
9. the world cup is sponsored by greedy kafir capitalist corporations who probably have connections with the freemasons and all. you are helping them. boycott worldcup and boycott cocacola too.
   
   
10. it does not follow the saudi fatwa on rules for halal football.

being a mere mortal this is the best i could do. i sincerely hope that Adhaalath Party would forgive any mistakes i might have made here. Adhaalath Party knows best.

a threat to yourself and national security could be in your head.

Not a huge threat, humanitarian efforts are always kool.

These days everyone is talking about the gitmo prisoners they are gonna bring here. innocent. are they, really? we may never know. since they werent foud guilty of a crime, theyd be innocent technically. but the word 'innocent' can be applied to any one who is not found guilty of a crime. Gayoom is also innocent, in this sense. just because someone face cruelty and injustice does not change anything about who he is. we have very good examples of this here in Maldives. chances are extremely high that these people are extremists and potential terrorists waiting to be activated (as the opposition DRP supporters claim). But im not opposing this. Coz even if this is the case, we need not fear for an extreme idea that might be imported with these people. because there wont be any extreme ideas that aint already here. we have all sorts of wahhabis and jihadis and trained terrorists here; its already here and there is nothing more to import. and i kinda accept that humanitarian angle.

helping innocent muslim brothers

So, they were treated unjustly by the USA....and this brings me to the main point i want to make here. THAT seems to be the focus of most maldivians. the other night on some FM channel there was a vox pop segment on this issue. almost everyone who supported (and most people supported this) gave "because they are innocent muslim brothers" as reason for bringing them here. Now, why do we feel like this? why these sympathetic opinions and emotional attitude? why do we feel that there is an obligation to bring them here?

Victim mentality and the conspiracy theories/paranoia about the imaginary muslims-VS-kuffar war

During the 30 years of darkness, people were continuously brainwashed with certain ideas. through the education system, through sermons and lecture, through word of mouth and most importantly through MEDIA! among these was the idea that 'there is and will always be a war between muslims and non-muslims. non-muslims are always trying to hurt muslims because they hate muslims'. Israel is the key example, with the media going on and on about it. They still describe suicide bombers as 'a martyr who sacrificed his/her life'. and then there is all the conspiracy theory stuff like jews controlling the whole world, jews are behind sept 11 attacks (i remember a series of articles on this published on Dharuma magazine). i dont support the israeli actions either, i believe palestinians are suffering there. and i hate it! but the sufferings of palestinians is being used as a tool to brainwash people. in the end, with the belief that since palestinians are suffering, we are also suffering...and understanding that america/israel is behind it...we start hating them. then we start hating jews and kafirs in general. now add a little fundie knowledge, you will get one angry 'muslim brother' clenching his finger, jumping in a fit of rage screaming; throw the kafir down the well...then we have a big party...in reality, the middle east conflict is not merely a religious conflict. it is not in black and white as a common maldivian would assume. most people dont know that there are secular movements working for the liberation of palestine, infact the only palestinian that i know personally is an Agnostic. but he loves his nation and is a political activist for the cause.

age-old blame game

...going back to the brainwashing; now people feel like being victims of the kafir people. we have an enemy to blame for our socio economic problems. Muslims, are weak and poor coz of the Kafir nations! The civil war among the early muslims (which led to the sunni/shiah divide) is also blamed on Abdullah Ibn Sabah ( a JEW!) This has continued through out history, and antisemitic conspiracy theories are supported by religious shiekhs and common people as well.

From Bosnia to Iraq

theyve seen the Bosnia war (and tried to donate some money even). Theyve seen the Iraq war and how American occupation hurt the people. A lot of maldivians openly supported Saddam Hussein, because for them he is the Hero who stand up against the "Kafir Forces". They dont hear about the atrocities he commit against "our muslim brothers and sisters". The famousAuguraana Singer (a type of music with bollywood music and dhivehi lyrics with a lot of profanity, hate speech and mockery) Haaburi dedicated a whole album praising Saddam. This tape was played on Boats, Market Place, and in Islands around the country. One song goes like ..."Saddam Varuge Shahsiyyatheh Dhuniyeyga Nethey Thiyakurahvaa Hiyvaru Fulhah Saabas Dhemey.." Here he is adressing Saddam in the highest and aristocratic level of formality and politeness from the three degrees of politeness found in Dhivehi language. saying that there is no better character than Saddam in this world, and applauding him for his courage!!

Double Standards

With this mentality, anyone who become a victim of non-muslim 'enemies'...are noticed, and maldivians feel sympathetic towards them, even tries to give any form of humanitarian aid they could. and this is a good thing. But it is only these people, people like palestinians and prisoners in gitmo that are considered muslim brothers and sisters who need our help.I have noticed how they try to mix up being arabs and being muslims.

what about the african muslims suffering coz of poverty, civilwar and ethnic conflicts. The Islamic Ministry iof Maldives is of the view that Haitian muslims werent good enough (or should i say haabee enough?), and that is the reason for the 2010 quake. They did not send money like in case of Bosnia, or Palestine...but rather mocked these 'muslim brothers and sisters'. The Sri Lankan civilwar did not get much media attention or attention of those who help "muslim brothers and sisters" despite the country being our closest neighbor.

they dont usually notice the conflicts between two muslims groups and the victims of these violence. sometimes they even fail to notice conflicts because the enemy is not one of the "major kafir nation" (which would be America, Israel, Europe and Australia) . This brings me to the point...what about the chinese people! they make all the stuff...uh, i think i will keep this for another post.too big.

Bangaalhee Brothers and Sisters

Now, for the reason why i actually started typing this post! i discovered THIS (via Phenol). a facebook group against 'bangaalhee people' (mostly-southasian, expatriate workers). they created a hate-group against bangaalhees, even when many of them are "muslim brothers and sisters". Bangaalhees are treated like subhumans, like shit! ive seen a lot of that. yet another sad reality in maldives. and from a human rights perspective, NOTHING is being done about this. we dont hear this very often in the Media, not from the ministries, not from HRCM, not from islamic groups and parties. so much for 'humanitarian efforts' and 'helping muslim brothers and sisters'.

The Human Rights Nation

i say the "helping out innocent muslims brothers and sisters" argument for bring the Gitmo guys to maldives is just bull! Anni is just taking advantage of the Maldivian people's "united victimized brotherhood" button. Hez a smart guy, someone i really do respect him. i also think he is a capable person. i really dont care what his motives are, as long as it does not hurt us, and as long as he would just quit being such a hypocrite!

Ehh..Whats up, Doc!?

It looks like he really dont want to talk about this anymore. but some people believe hez got his own agenda (sell his mandela/captnplanet image and grab a prize of some sort) behind this, others say he is just trying to sell the image of a green/humanrightish nation, just as the foreign minister planned before they came to power.Environment....yeah maybe. Human Rights? im not sure. or maybe Anni genuinely cares about non-maldivians coz he is the GLOBAL president. he cracked another joke like this even before...it was that bit about BURMESE journalists seeking asylum in maldives. yeah, this is the paradise of freedom! everyone come here puhlleeezzz! coz this is one hell of a paradise.

...no seriously, i have no idea what hez really up to. at one point i thought this must be his new hobby. collecting terrorists and people accused (falsely or otherwise) of being terrorists....the taliban talks,gitmo guys, shahid,9 fundies from pakistan, sultan park bomb guys, gangsta terrorists, sagarey...etc. BUT>>>the optimist inside me is thinking; well, maybe he wants to take giant international steps so that the people and government will follow it at a local level.

[Note: i fell asleep while writing this post last night. and today i discovered atleast one of the Gitmo guys is a PALESTINIAN! Nice move there Anni. Well played.Well done!]

Whatever

i dont think this is of any importance to us at the moment. but i also think it is not such a big deal, whatever. I am more worried about the victim mentality, us against them hate, and double standards in helping our "muslim brothers and sisters".

so finally im done with this. actually i have a lot more to say, but this is getting too long. but before i finish...

A summary for morons and tl;drians : what i did not say, and what i wanted to say.

>i am not spreading atheism or laadheenee (whatever the frack that is!)

>i am not the pope (well i am, but not the guy in Vatican atleast)

>i am not hating islam or muslims

>i am a muslim (100%)

>i dont support any specific party

>>i am NOT against bringin the gitmo guys here

>>i have a problem with the kind of reasoning most people who support bringing em have.

>>ive explained the problem i have (victim mentality blah blah)

>>i find discrimination against bangaalhees disturbing and contradicting the arguments in favor of bring the gitmo prisoners.

>>i have no idea what anni is up to, but ive attempted to find a reason

>>views expressed here should not be taken seriously

Maldives' Ministry of Islamic Affairs' comments on 2010 Haiti Earthquake.

source: www.islamicaffairs.gov.mv

TRANSLATION:

Are there any Muslims in Haiti? Do we have to gain wisdom from this [disaster]?

Haiti is a caribbean island nation, located not far from America. A certain number of Muslims live there. It is reported that they are not good people. There is no doubt about this; such earth quakes are moral lessons for everyone. Such [disasters]are caused by God because of the actions of mankind.

Estimated no.of people identified as; Dead: 230,000. Injured: 300,000, Homeless: 1,000,000

And this is what Maldives' Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MoIA) lead by the 'moderate' sheikh shaheem (trimmed beard, shirt tucked in...verily he must be a moderate) haz to say about it.

Letter on child marriage

This is a copy of a letter to the editor that I sent to minivannews.com (im not sure why it was published as 'anonymous'...perhaps the homo..*cough* i mean that foundation...well never mind. here it is.

Dear Editor,

I salute the UNICEF Representative Mansoor Ali for commenting about the reservations in the article 14 of the new child abuse law. This reservation is based solely on a corrupt interpretation of Islamic texts which, I believe, many of the fundamentalist ‘scholars’ (Adhaalath, Jamiyyatussalaf, Islamic Foundation etc) support. It is the same idea that Sheikh Abu Ameena Bilal Phillips expressed at “The Call” lectures; that a child who has reached puberty is ready to get married.

While I agree that children do not grow up all of the sudden on their 18th birthday, we should understand that laws cannot be made for individual cases, it would be general. Since we have made 18 years the age of consent, any form of sex between an adult and a minor (below 18) should be considered as sexual abuse. The special reservation is approval of child abuse, decriminalising a crime just because it is committed in the name of Islam. It is a shame to our nation and to all Muslims that disapprove of such evils.

I believe child marriage should be a more serious crime than child abuse outside of such a ‘marriage’, since the child will be under a lot of pressure as their community and parents support the abuse. The child may even have to give birth, do household work inappropriate for their age, or take care of a family at such young ages. They would be continuously abused by their ‘husbands’. The beliefs of most extremists give no excuse for women (or girls) to deny it when their husbands ‘need’ them. So the law should consider this to be continuous and systematic statutory rape of an innocent child!

I’m surprised to see that the concubine issue is so troubling to many people while child marriages in these extremist communities have been going on for a long time without anyone noticing it. Children as young as 13 have been given away in marriage to men as old as 50! But what sort of sentences do these people get? In one case it was just banishment under the ‘religious unity act’. The reason was that the extremists have produced all the documents proving the ‘marriage’ was carried out as Islamic Shariah requires (the child having reached puberty too). They just did it at home, with their gang members as hakim and witnesses instead of going to a court. So the Judges at court were obliged to consider this a valid marriage in accordance to Islamic Shariah. When he drafted the bill MP Mohamed Nasheed warned us about this issue, but I was hopeful that it would be solved by the time it become a law.

When Shariah overrides law, and this Shariah is the word of any bearded Sheikh; I don’t think this is a very democratic picture. We all need to uphold the law and respect it. But for this to happen, the laws should treat everyone equally, it should be clear and understood by all, it should not be too vague, it should not be overridden by anything (including the words of random Sheikhs). Since the constitution does not define ‘Islam’ or ‘Islamic’ Shariah, it is left for the gang of Mullahs who are in bed with the ruling government to define it as they wish.

Such unquestionable and absolute power held by one small group of people will never yield any good results. It is a door to corruption and absolutism. This is exactly why I support secularism, a state where religion cannot be used against people and for political gains. This is not the un-Islamic thing, but rather the only islamic thing to do. The Quran clearly forbids such worship of Sheikhs (9:31). it also tells that individuals are responsible for their OWN actions and that God gave us free will and intellect to test if we do the right thing. All the three estates of the state and the personal lives of individuals need not be policed by a bunch of Sheikhs who claims to be men of God. May Allah save us from his followers that have gone astray. Amen.

hitler finds out about gayoom's downfall.

itz been a long time since ive blogged (obviously... so i dont need to say that, do i? but everyone says this in a while...so there. i said it!! again). this is to let you guys know im still alive and did not quit blogging. ive been doing nothing lately....and doing nothing is harder than you think. im really busy. perhaps it is all twitter and facebook's fault that im not blogging frequently. did i say that in my previous post? i might have. but i said it again anyway. enough blabbering about myself...well...for now atleast..

this is my first hitler downfall parody video. I did the subtitles in Dhivehi langauge. Had so many ideas...but the words 'downfall' and 'dictator' kept on pushing me towards this one. perhaps id post some other stuff later. i probably wont. dont trust me on these things. never ever count on me. i WILL let you down. okkkk... here i go again. thats it. here is the video for you:



Note: i wrote this post last night, but since we dont have a real ISP here in maldives i wasnt able to upload the video. #dhiraagufail .

religious tolerance and respecting religions.

[yawn.its been like more than two months since my last post? yeah, dat and its been dat long since i started this post. it was hanging there unfinished, till tonight i finally decided to complete and publish it.so here goes another post. and there are more stuff (not about religion) in the drafts.as i said earlier,im just too lazy to blog anymore.or maybe i say it all in on twitter,facebook and other people's blogs.]

Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses, Catoons of Mohamed on the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, a film made by Theo van Gogh (for which he was mudered) and many other such events lead to protests and bloodshed. Sorry that i have only mentioned only incidents related to Islam..its just that we get more news about Islamic intolerance than any other religion (you can blame it on the western media if you like or blame it on me or say there are more muslims in the world or simply accept the fact ..your choice. I am not implying anything here). Besides, this religion is closer to me than any other religion......Alrite, here is a Hindu intolerance incident; last year Bajrangdal activists attacked christian churches and people, responding to mass convertion of Hindus to Christianity. And the moral policing thing by hindutva activists who attacks women in pubs and attack people celebrating Valentines day.Generally speaking, most religions have these 'issues' with non believers... but followers of some religions express them more openly. it should also be noted that some religions have been reformed and evolved over the centuries, to fit in to the modern pluralistic societies..

why all these violent reaction?. why dont you guys let god protect his religion , and just calm down for sometime? Maybe he will strike these people with a thunder bolt or inflict eternal and uttermost torture when they die and go to his hell. O ye who believe; i hate to break this for you but if that is your religious obligation to make sure those who insult your religious sentiments are punished, then you are doing a really crappy job. because these insults are inevitable. Even if one dont say it out loud, everyone who dont follow your religion are 'saying' it. You have to punish em all. so we can say religious tolerance for the most part is kind of an oxymoron...atleast amongst the major religions. These major and dominant religions of the world aint capable of tolerance by their very nature but they all demand respect and tolerance. how exactly does one tolerate and respect a religion? im not really sure, but people say we should be respectful of other people's believes and never say anything which could insult them. but this is very wrong. religious tolerance is defined as "the condition of accepting or permitting others' religious beliefs and practices which disagree with one's own". permitting and accepting is not the same as respecting and not saying a word against them.

unbelievers are always insulting believers:
Let me expalin; religious groups have their own set of beliefs which they say are certainly true. For example religion X claims that person xx is a prophet and he was contacted by God. For those who dont believe in this claim usually there are two logical explanations:
(1) this guy (xx) is lying. or (2) this guy is crazy...or maybe both.

usually if they rule out these 'accusations', then they become believers in that religion. So, everyone who dont believe in that religion are accusing prophet xx to be either insane or a liar. This applies to all religions (almost). ..(dearest peaceful, sword wielding protectors of the most peaceful religion; i am talking about all religions in general. mmmkayyy?all of them. so calm down)

an example:
This can be applied to more detailed stuff about a belief system and not just prophethood. Here is a good example; Polygamy is permitted in mormonism and it is said that their founder Joseph Smith took more than 30 wives (including already married women). This could not be seen in a good light unless you are a mormon. you will probably think this guy is a selfish horny bastard who took advantage of superstitious, gullible people and his authority over them.What else could one think? This is so obvious. Ofcourse like all religions, mormons try to deny or justify it. For the believers of this religion, their prophet is the holiest and is infallible. Either this report is untrue or there is some other 'explanation' for this. Some of them say it is God's will and quotes what mr.smith said was the reason behind it; "by revelation—the saints of the Lord are always directed by revelation".

It does not take a second for a non-believer in Mormonism to recognise what is going on here. But the believers, blinded by their faith, do not smell anything fishy here. When a non-believer in their religion points out the obvious fact, they are insulted and hurt. Everyone is hurting them unless they believe it was infact God's will and done in accordance to revelation. So the only way to respect and honour a religion is believing them. as most religions claim to be the only true religion, one cant really believe in all religions....and this is how respecting religions (in the sense they demand us to)become impossible.


Freedom of Speech and feelings of believers:
What ive said so far does not mean religious tolerance is impossible.It is possible and necessary, but not at the cost of eliminating freedom of speech. A line should be drawn somewhere, and i dont think that line should be drawn by making religions too respectful to be even criticized. Because religions have an opinion about every single thing, and if we find it unacceptable, we are entitled to say so. That is freedom of speech. And if a group of people are insulted because of an opinion someone else hold against their personal beliefs, then every single human being will be insulted all the time. because every individual is different from the rest. If religion has to be respected so much that we cant even talk about them, so should the political ideologies, operating systems,taste of music, art or food, web browsers etc. And then we will all end up being hypocrites who praise even the things that we dislike and despise.

holy crap!
the religious texts of some religions are full of insults to people of other faiths, unbelievers or people who disobey their religious commands or leaves it totally. These insults and threats are cut out in their holy books. Now can we alter the word of God to make sure there is tolerance? no we cant. so these will remain as they are.This is rooted in the fact that most religions claim to be the only way to salvation and the only true religion. By this claim they are accusing others to be misguided, saying they will burn eternally in hell, they are dumb for not seeing the ‘obvious’ truth, they need to be guided or forced towards the right path etc. The Bible have a passages where Jesus calls jews the children of the Devil, liars etc. Church leaders have called Jews 'Christ killers'. Muslim recite Surah Al-Fatihah atleast 17 times every day. In this surah they call Jews 'those who have earned God's anger' and the Christians are called 'those who went astray'. Fearing that i may 'insult' some people i will not mention the several Hadiths which will hurt the feelings of non-muslims and people of certain faiths here. There are prophecies, like the muslim belief they will kill all jews before the judgement day comes, or fundamentalist christian belief that the temple mount will be reconstructed before the second coming of Christ (which means muslims will lose the middle east conflict in the end)…all these insult other religions. True, today we do not find wars among religion like earlier times. but we still have the same texts with us, will this hypocrisy of undeserved and childish respect for all religions hold off the violence? i dont think so.

respect? what respect?! thou shalt earn respect!
Respect is something which has to be earned. give respect to get respect! when you are cursing people for their personal choices which does not harm any other human being, for simply not believing what you believe, for expressing their opinions etc... dont you dare talk about respect. I dont really understand why the fuck we have to be respectful about religions. after all blasphemy is a victimless crime. one man's prayers is another man's blasphemy. one man's eternal truth, for another could be the biggest load of bullshit hez ever heard. (dont believe me? how many maldivians think scientology is NOT bullshit and NOT stupid?)

let us say... human beings ends up (because of some UN resolution like this maybe?) being hypocrites who cannot say anything critical of religions...then what happens? would there be religious tolerance?? They say religions need to be protected and respected unconditionally, even when they are plain stupid or when people of these beliefs dont respect other people's beliefs and ways of life. hell, they dont even respect another human being's right to live sometimes (sometimes based on their beliefs, sexual preference..etc). some beliefs just cannot be respected, or tolerated. for example jihadi islam which calls for war and world domination.

So, where exactly do we draw that line about respecting? wafa sultan said it all to a mullah while speaking live on jazeera tv. She said; "brother, you can believe in stones, as long as you don't throw them at me". right there. believe what ever the fuck you want to, but dont try impose it on others or to mess with other people's lives. That is where the line should be drawn. If someone says your religions sucks you need not be insulted, because it is a fact that he/she thinks so. But if someone attack you on the street because you believe a certain thing, that is a problem. well...not always...depends on what kind of crap you believe in. if they are violent and threatening other people, you deserve it. rational fear of a religion is no phobia at all. and it is definitely not hate. it is a justified fear...for example fear of a religious group who practice human sacrifice or terrorism is only natural. then again, stereotyping and generalising aint good either. its a totally different issue which i may discuss some other time.

i dont respect your beliefs.i think they are fuckin stuhpid!
personally i dont respect beliefs of other people because if dont believe it, i think they are fuckin stuhpid and unworthy of my respect. otherwise i would believe it in the first place. the reason i dont believe it is because it is unbelievable and stupid. however, i DO respect people's right to believe whatever they want to believe, as long as it does not harm anyone else. believe what ever the hell you want. believe in the flying spaghetti monster or the invisible pink unicorn. believe in barney the pink dinosaur and tinkerrbell. believe in your personal god who protects your family and lives under your bed. believe everything you can. i respect your right to believe. but there is no way on earth i will respect irrational beliefs. i will not just disrespect those beliefs which i think are dangerous to the society, i will despise them and refute them.some one believing that he will rise from the dead and smoke two ciggarettes does not really bother me. but beliefs that are widely accepted and are related to my life, our lives, our problems,suffering in the world..etc everyone should speak against them.i may hate a belief system for the harm it does, but it does not mean i hate the believers. I may sympathize with them because they are victims of these beliefs.

in short...
... religious tolerance has it's limits and is not the same as unconditional respect for religions.respecting other people's belief is impossible and stupid but respecting other people's right to believe what ever they want to -as long as it does not harm the society- is important. Religious tolerance is important but due to the nature of most religions, very difficult to achieve. however, CAN achieve it. we abolished slavery even when in the eyes of major religions it was not a crime. the problem is not people who criticize religions, but those who act like they have been raped when ever their religion is criticized. mankind should over come this insanity in order to pursue religious tolerance. The way to peaceful coexistence of religions is not by hushing the critics of religions, but curing the lunatics who goes into a hyperventilating fit of rage everytime their personal beliefs are criticized.
