@shivanya well said. A good example of using religion to oppress women is Sharia Law at its finest.

@alwaysstranger you made a good point about the anonymity of the answers. that's true, but the answer is still subconscious one based on what is already ingrained in their brain. but that's just a way to look at it. other than that yeah the statistics are 100% correct.

@alwaysstranger got it.

@jhonsnow ALL religions are force-fed to children. not just islam.

@alwaysstranger atheist bible. was confused, may still be. but if what you meant was science, then, yes, of course. You're right, I didn't read everything. I did now, though. I think most muslims, the educated, acknowledge the misogynistic, homophobic, and intolerant verses that the Koran has. If they don't, they're just being ignorant. I googled the survey you cited. and it is very disturbing. If I asserted that the muslim majority hold backward views it wouldn't be a generalization. that is if I trusted the survey. I don't though. it's not that I think it isn't factual or question the method used, but rather the answers provided by the people. It should be taken into account factors that influence answers. a country's official religion being muslim can have a lot of influence, a country where criticizing the religion is a crime, where the education system and media also influence a lot. wrong answers could get you in trouble. picking a safe and consistent answer is the best answer.

@alwaysstranger woah. you went in there very wrongly. MANY religions are violent. it is in their books written and commanded to follow word for word. but that doesn't give you the right to bash the religion. live and let live, very simple

@muslim no.

it is also important to highlight all the famine that rules earth. drugs, rape, murder, etc.

If he existed. wouldn't he be the evil force of earth? think about it. he is said to be omnipresent then contradicts himself when saying he has no rule over hell. He is the know it all. so he knew humans would be suffering, only claim against this isn't even a fully concrete claim, in fact it seems as if there is no reason behind human suffering other that the sin of disobeying God because of wanting to be conscient over the body. God made humans to serve him and nothing else. he made the tree as well. it all doesn't make sense.

what do you guys believe when it comes to the subject of souls? without doubt humans have conscience. I think therefore I am. It is said conscience is a symptom of the soul. Like heat is a symptom of fire.
