What If Your Country Becomes Islamic

Thana

I was addressing a particular blanket statement about Islamic countries; I do think there are huge problems that women face in Egypt, as is the case in other Islamic countries. Being forced to cover in black or sit at home isn't one of them, though (in Egypt's case)--at least not for the majority.

I'm not sure about the exact percentage of women who undergo FGM in Egypt, but the practice is widely accepted in certain parts of the country (especially non-urban parts). It's pretty unfortunate that such a disgustingly misogynistic practice still persists so much.

I see, then please forgive me for hijacking your post :)
Though I do believe 91% is accurate.

Which is not islamic in anyway, so you know...

True, Nevertheless it's rampant and they practice it freely.

How do Islamic countries view atheists? I heard that some countries consider us terrorists which is sad. Limitations on alcohol wouldn't bother me. I think there's too much of alcohol and recreational drug use in popular culture to be honest.

Dubai is hardly the beacon of Islamic enlightenment some claim it is. Premarital sex can get you jailed there, and "practicing homosexuality" is a crime. It also has blasphemy laws like other Muslim-majority countries.

Those are just laws, things the government don't want people to do as part of the system. Those laws are also there not to exact punishment on people, they are there to prevent people from breaking the identity Dubai wants to keep. It is not like Dubai hunts for non Muslims and demonize them, which is what matters, I believe. I guess every country wants people to follow their laws while staying in it.

But I share your sentiment about the blasphemy punishment. Religion is a choice. Having it as a law is just too much.

Not true. It's not about being atheist or not. Some countries just have issues with some other countries for political reasons. Some just happen to be atheists so the government rather than saying they have political issues, they will make a propaganda against atheism or the West in general to assume fake leadership and zeal in front of their supporters.

It's a process.After some executions the majority will be muslim.Young boys will be taken apart from their families and trained as jihadists.You know , islam is spread this way , i mean by sword.
What's with the ridiculous fearmongering?

Gee, what if, inexplicably, the government decided to execute everyone not LHP to institute a Satanic theocracy charged with ushering in the Apocalypose?

And before you try to tell me how ignorant that is, reread your own words, ok?

Erm, no. I don't think it has much to do with religion, I was just pointing out that it's accepted there so the country isn't exactly a good one to use as an example for women's freedoms.

I believe it's illegal in Egypt but many still do it anyway.

Somehow your government declares islam as your new national religion.You are expected to comply with rules like:

-All kinds of alcohol use is forbidden

-Premarital sex is forbidden

-Women should cover themselves from head to toe

-You cannot talk about and practice anthing not compatible with islam such as athesim , evolution
Yet another "let's bash Islam" thread. How special ...

Except 91% of married Egyptian women undergo FGM so you know.... not the greatest example...

What is not always mentioned is that 91% is not just Muslims. A very large number of Egyptian Non-Muslims are included in that figure. Actually the 91 is low more like 95% of all Egyptian women practice it.

Yet, as has already been mentioned before, FGM is practiced among Christian groups, e.g. in Egypt, Nigeria, Tanzania and Kenya.

But we don't go kill anyone.
But what if there were over a billion of you?

LHP isn't all holding hands and wearing rose colored glasses. What if someone decided to make a secret army of LHP cannibals?

WHAT IF? WHAT THEN?

Not going to happen. But if it would happen they'd probably all be killed or deported.

It's simply not happening.

How many have you been to? Did you stay long?

Or do you mean the scapegoating flooding American media?
