Anyone who would stone a woman to death is a savage. Anyone who would whip a teacher for calling a teddy-bear Muhammad is mentally ill. Go away.

You dont know the background of all these actions and without investigation you start ranting on this blog. Show that you are knowledgeable and you can start by putting a stop to your sweeping statements. You see dozens of actions carefully targetted to create and stir religious emotions ranging from cartoons, to quranic scriptures being written on a woman's body, concocted stories of the prophet's married life....every year there is something different and something big. You talk about women in islam I can give you a complete lecture on women in islam. Just one small thing which all muslims do whether men or women and that is a ritual called SAEE this ritual is performed whenever you visit the KAABA. This ritual is done to honour and relive the endeavours and efforts of a mother. God has given her such prominence that Kaaba is built near the place where she ran up and down the hill in search of water for her child. You know what the miracle if ZamZam water which i believe is the only living miracle in the world is still flowing. For thousands of years billions of people have had the privelage of drinking the zamzam water which is still flowing and quenching the thirst of thousands of muslims everyday. You can read the whole story if you want but the point that i am trying to make is that like every social system the religious system also has some rules and regulations imposed on men and women both and yes NOT ALL followers of a religion are best examples. Do you judge a car by the driver or by the features of the car. And you know what, these days only the bad and negative news is reported in BIG letters. i think your education on islam is limited to what you see on tele these days.
