I don't know how true this is but as far as I know you're not even allowed to wear a crucifix or Star of David pendant.
What is life like in Iran where there are minorities ? Maybe that can show us how it may turn out in KSA
Hi,
Ultimately us who don't believe in the Quran don't need to provide a reason for why of course, but for as long as we are free to do so some of us will openly object to submission to the Quran due to various reasons.
If that describes you, by special request from one of our RF members who...

Is the law forbidding Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men found in the Quran?
This law is a form of anticompetitive law designed to discriminate against non-Muslim men and undoubtedly belongs up there with apostasy and blasphemy laws as a form of not so subtle thought coercion in my...
Many people know that Hindus believe that we come back as lower life forms - bugs, animals etc
First of all let us understand that Hindu ideas were never meant exclusively for Hindus - Hindus don't preach that way, these ideas apply to ALL of us. These are God's laws - they apply to ALL life...
Peace Be Upon You.
So let's suppose that what Darwin said was right, Humanity has evolved from Apes, somehow it was proven scientifically that Apes were the origins of a creature that can think, understand, express his thoughts, have consciousness and choose his path in life, but then, does...
According to my understanding evolution does not have anything to say about whether or not there is a supreme creator. Darwin considered it absurd to doubt that a person could be an ardent theist and evolutionist.
Evolution does (according to my understanding) reject the concept that humans are...
To Blaspheme or Not to Blaspheme?
There is a huge difference between criticizing religions (being critical), as in "not blindly accept things", and blaspheming (the red part). It can be compared with the RF Rules. Criticize ideas all you want, just don't get personal, as in bullying, insulting...

What if Muhammad
A) Replaced Yudishtra before the exile of the Pandavs-knowing they were cheated
B) Replaced Arjun in the battle of Kurukshetra
C) Replaced Bheem when fighting Duryodan
D) Replaced Krishna in the battle of Kurukshetra or when fighting Duryodan
Not sure if this is the correct area to post this, but I wrote a post in another thread and it was suggested to me to make a thread for it separate from the thread I posted it in. I'm looking for people who are well educated regarding the contents of the Qur'an, the Ancient Arabic Language and...
Charlie Hebdo Muslim hypocrisy still not cured
Why these Muslims are hypocrites: They impose their religion on others, but criticize other's culture/religion
(Respect goes 2 ways. As long as they belittle other religions, they have no right to object if we do the same)
(The Muslims started...
If Zoonotic diseases come from being in close proximity to animals and not being evolved enough to eat them then did pigs cause disease in the Middle East thousands of years ago ? Is that the reason Jews and Muslims don't eat pork ? If that's the case then we've evolved enough to eat pork for at...
How Islam as a whole commits Blasphemy (if they impose their definition on non Muslims)
Why they do commit Blasphemy is easy to understand:
1) We have Freedom of Religion, that means all are Free to choose the Religion they want
2) This Freedom also means that you are Free to define God, how...

Hi,
This was posted earlier this week I think in one of the DIRs;
Didn't have the time to respond earlier and as it was in a DIR it wouldn't have been appropriate, so I thought I would re-run it here.
Basically in the video the author completely strawmans secularism, appearing to claim it is...
1. The Jews claim they killed Jesus (Doesn't say Romans), yet they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him says the Qur'an - 4:157
2. Jesus was called the "Messiah". - 3:45
3. Jesus had followers, him, and his followers preached a theology - 61:14
4. He spoke to the Jews - 5:46, 72

Does (western) liberalism value human rights over ethics?
My initial thoughts on this is that it is a contradiction in terms. Human rights are rights because they pertain to the ethical treatment of humans.
By comparison allegedly “revealed” religions tend to value these alleged revelations...
