Islam punishes women for being gay. And don't give me the "Well, ackchually, Muhammad never explicitly forbade...." bullshit because it is irrelevant. In most Muslim-majority countries, being queer is met with imprisonment at best and the death penalty at worst.

And? Homosexuality isn't acceptable in any of the Abrahamic Religions. Why should said religion bend at the will of people, especially secularist? I simply pointed out the fact that in Islam, abortion is acceptable, of course within certain boundaries.

Red herring.

Christianity doesn't allow abortions for women so it is bad for women.
Ah, but Islam does allow abortions, so it is good for women!
Islam punishes gay women, so it is bad for women.
But other religions punish gay women, too!

Yeah, no shit. My point wasn't that Islam is the only religion that does it. My point is that Islam is a bigoted religion. Christianity also happens to be a bigoted religion. Judaism is a bigoted religion. They are all dogshit, which is the whole point of the article and why women are leaving them.

Oh believe me, I wasn't even trying to use whataboutism. I'm quite proud of the sophistication of my religion.

Muslims are far more civilized as humans than the secularists.

"Dogshit".. lmao you say?

What is a woman? A question that apparently can't be answered by Western modern civilization.

Lmfao more bigotry against LGBT people...just fantastic. Keep digging your hole there, son. Pretty soon it'll be a grave inside of which you can curl up with your hatred until you both stop breathing. The rest of us are gonna keep progressing up top.

And don't bother responding because you are ever-so-blocked. No room for bigots on my feed.
