I could not believe how "Islamophobic" the guy was being, though the word did not exist yet. He went on to say that Indians have known for many centuries exactly how the Muslims are, and what Islam teaches, and maybe it was a good thing that the West finally learned this truth as well. I cut it short because the conversation was not suitable for work.

But he was totally right.

True. Every Indian guy I know, and being in IT half the people I know are Indian (other half Chinese), say the same thing and make politically incorrect jokes of Muslims. The Indian women don't, but they do laugh at the jokes.

So, who in here thinks we should still have freedom of religion?

Religion is OK as long as it does not hurt anyone. It's the pedophile loving cults that need to be banned.

Religions do hurt people. Every single child brainwashed into one is harmed.

We should, as long as secular law remains above religious law.

The problem with Islam is that it demands to replace secular law with sharia. This makes it a seditious political movement more than a religion.

I do agree. Teaching children mythology as facts can do no good. However, society is not ready to ban religion, yet. Banning religion now would make us a dictatorship. Lets stick with banning religious practices that directly hurt other people.
Lets also concentrate on Islam, the fucking religion that does the most harm to us.

That's nice, my uncle lived in Dammam and Jubail KSA between 1980-1990, he said they were animals and came to the US 8 years after my parents became citizens and sponsored him from immigration.

I've met several people who lived and worked in the Gulf. An oil guy, a construction guy, and a stewardess. All of them had negative experiences.

And religions should not get subsidies and automatic tax exemption as they do now. Religions are inherently divisive, as anyone can see from comments on this board. Believers are convinced that their religion is true and all contrary beliefs are false, regardless of evidence and reason. It stokes division, divide&rule, and prevents people from reasoning together based on observable evidence. Currently, religions get tax exemption and exemption from the Obamneycare penalty. Picture two identically situated people who object to insurance and refuse to buy it, but one refuses because of a religion that the IRS considers "bona fide" while the other refuses for secular reasons. The secular objector gets penalized, for not adhering to a religion that the IRS considers bona fide. The IRS should not be certifying some religions as bona fide, and should not be enforcing adherence to any religion, but the law as written requires the IRS to do both. JK Rowling pays taxes on Harry Potter profits regardless of whether people believe in Harry Potter, and religious organizations should pay taxes on their profits too. If they do something genuinely charitable, like feeding the hungry without regard to religion, then that's a legitimate deduction, but the religion itself shouldn't be.

In recent years, American taxpayers have been paying more than $100k per "refugee" to subsidize the spread Islam. NATO pays to bomb Muslim countries and drive Muslims out of their homes, then pays again to import Muslims, and then pays again when Muslims kill disbelievers as Islam commands. It is an obviously self-defeating policy, but voters are divided and hypnotized by media campaigns and politicians.

"Police searched two properties where Masood and his family are thought most recently to have lived, in the Winson Green and Hagley Road areas of Birmingham. Eight of the 11 arrests made as of Friday afternoon in connection with the investigation were in Birmingham.

"They just seemed a normal family, a normal Muslim family. We never suspect anything. It's just a shock."

Masood wore "Islamic clothes" most of the time, Gajecka said. A woman she presumed to be Masood's wife wore a veil with just her face uncovered. She also saw the young girl wearing a headscarf. Masood and his family would not have stood out in this multicultural, diverse neighborhood."

If more people read what Islam commands believers to do, e.g. "strike terror into the enemies of Allah...kill the disbelievers wherever you find them," then fewer people would be shocked when Muslims do what the Koran says.

As this is related, here's my piece on the Orlando shooter, being a closet gay guy ...

https://patrick.net/1296234/2016-09-27-rin-s-truth-orlando-shooter-was-a-closet-gay-guy

The Orlando gunman was a repressed, Islamic closet gay guy.

If his father had died, when he was a boy and he'd been raised by me, we would have gotten drunk, attended Metallica concerts together, and f.ucked hoes around the world.

And then one day ... he realizes that instead of poking the likes of a Selma Hayek look-a-like, he'd rather do a male Chippendale's model; well, at that point, we'd part ways at the hotel, so that I go into my private quarters with a busty lingerie model, whereas he goes back to his suite with an Adonis type. I don't need anymore details than that. Really ... I don't want to know.

In the morning, we meet up for breakfast. He's happy and then realizes, he doesn't need to go on a killing spree to be content in life.

He can f.uck man hoes and I can f.uck, female hoes. All is well in the world.

50 lives were saved, in that parallel universe.

The Lord Humungus was a highly civilized Warlord. Listen to the eloquence of his speech ...

Yet, it does not in our society. Remember that kid arrested for sacrilege? Yes, sacrilege. Show disrespect to a statue of the Christian god by posting a crude, and hilarious, picture of you with it on Facebook, and you get arrested.

Religion corrupts courts and government. Christianity has corrupted the American courts.

That brings up another point. America has never had religious freedom, just privileges for specific state-approved religions. Whenever the power of the state comes into conflict with a religious "right", the power of the state wins. The religious beliefs of many Christians prohibit letting someone you are not married to put his or her hand up your ass. Yet, police forcibly violate the right to uphold that belief every time they body cavity search. There is no real religious freedom in our country. Only privileges for a few select religions.

Like clockwork.

A radical Islamic terrorist targets and kills innocent civilians, and within 48 hours, the debate in the West (mainly on the political Left) is how bad "religion" and Christianity is.

Meanwhile, the dopes in Canada just passed an "anti-Islamophobia" law.

I hear Spring is nice in Saudi Arabia. They would love you to visit and tell them what you think of religion.

socal2 says

Canada just passed an "anti-Islamophobia" law.

It's a motion not a law, and I'm surprised you read Al Jazeera, but the motion looks bad anyway:

"Opponents argued the private members’ motion, which calls on the government to “condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination”, will limit free speech in the country and single out Islam for special treatment.
***
The motion explicitly called on the government to “quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear”.

On this issue the Canadian parliament’s guide to private members’ motions reads: “The first difference to keep in mind is in their effect. Since in agreeing to a motion expressing a resolution, the House is only stating an opinion, the government will not be bound to adopt a specific policy or course of action."

The lopsided vote suggests the Canadian Parliament must be suffering a terrible case of Para-Muslim Syndrome (PMS). Muslims can quote the Koran saying you are "the worst beast" and that they must "strike terror into" you, and kill you, but if the government acts on this motion then you won't be allowed to object or talk back, because that would be blasphemy "Islamophobic."
