As I have shown in earlier posts, Islam does NOT promote such abuses. Islam promotes great values and that is the reason despite so much hate against Islam, it is growing very fast all over the world.

But has Paravani has shown there are Muslims who DO promote such so-called abuses because they "believe(wrongly according to you and other Muslims)" that Islam DOES allow for practices.

There are uneducated idiots among all faith groups. Therefore, everything a moron does is not Christian, Islamic or judaic. It is moronic. We have fair share of them among us like all major faith groups.

If what you have shown is true that would mean that only 30% of reverts to Islam are men.

I do not know of any person who does not claim that their religion does NOT promote "great values".  

But I do know that people in every religion that practices so-called abuses based on the belief that their religion either allows for or promotes what are "believed" to be abuses by members who are not of the same religion. 

>>>>>>>>>> You do not practice any religion. That is fine. But you are pretty desperate in finding fault in people then attribute it to religion. Ignorance is the reason not religion. Those who have irratinal feeling (Often hate) towards all or a perrticular religion, they will find one or more excuses to blame religion for famine in africa or econimic problem in America.

These "Attitudes" says a lot about these people and says very little about those religions.

Being educated does not prevent you from being an idiot. 

And it is not really a matter of being either "educated" or "un-educated". 

All people are "educated" to one degree or another. 

The question is what is a "fair share" of morons-idiots? 

The question is the share "equal"?

I am not doubting that in Europe or in America more than twice as many women than men revert to Islam.

You can use empty rhetoric in saying I am "desperate". 

But if you can use reason to counter my claims that would be better.

But I do not have an irrational hate towards a particular.  I have rational dissagreements with all religions. 

There is a difference between disagreeing with religion and hating the people who practice religion. 

I bear no hatred towards you at all.

What it says is that people have different "Attitudes" about their religion.

>>>>> Howdy IDBC,

Think we had enough discussions to know where we stand on issues. I am cool that you chose to be an atheist. Which means you are seeking some answers. I wish you well in seeking knowledge. I see you have more knowledge of Islam than where you were few yeas ago.

I read a nice book by a former atheist ( Dr. J Lang). He has a PHD in math and teaching at KU ( I think). I like his books because he is a straight talker and does not spare Muslims in areas they deserve a little lecture.

===========================================================

I'll share a small chapter from the Qur'an  to answer you....

Surah Al-Kaafiroon

 1     

 Say (O Muhammad () to these Mushrikun and Kafirun): "O Al-Kafirun (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His Messengers, in the Day of Resurrection, and in Al-Qadar, etc.)!

2     

"I worship not that which you worship,         

3         

 "Nor will you worship that which I worship.

 4         

 "And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping.        

5     

"Nor will you worship that which I worship.

 6

 "To you be your religion (Atheism), and to me my religion (Islamic Monotheism)."

While I have learned more and more about Islam and Muslims it appears that you have not learned anything about Atheisism or Atheists.  Or else you woudn't call atheism a religion. 

There are no rituals in Atheisism. 

There are no prayers in Atheism.

There are no sacred places in Atheism. 

There are no god/gods, angels-demons-jinn in Atheism. 

Atheism is a philosophy not a religion. 

Atheisim is a conclusion not a belief. 

I only quoted a small chapter from the Qur'an to make a point here. The main point is " To you your way and to me mine"....

Nitpicking over words of a guidebook will derail you from the "Basic teaching".

After talking so may years, why do you require so much explanations. What I said is very simple and basic!!
