Atheist Pat Condell: "Name the poison" (Muslim Rape in Europe)

It's disgusting that people use a belief system to justify rape. It's not very controversial to claim that rape is one of the worst crimes a person can commit, and I believe warrants the death penalty (which shouldn't be controversial).

Saudi woman campaigns for right to drive

Gotta love backwards cultures. We (as in the modern world) shouldn't be giving these countries technology until they modernize their culture as well....at least in my opinion. Muslims can't say anything about Muhammad's word, cars didn't exist when he was alive (so he couldn't have had any opinion on the matter). And yes, Islam is obviously the cause behind this problem, as the woman was arrested for defying a 'religious edict'. To call a spade a spade, this is some serious misogyny being justified by religion.

Fortunately the Middle East is going to be rapidly westernized by things like the internet, television, etc. Islam needs to adapt to rapid cultural changes (like Christianity has), otherwise it's going to be left behind in the dust by cultural progress. Many Muslims live in the modern world, and they managed to adapt and keep their faith. Who knows, perhaps atheism might dominate the Middle East in 50-100 years due to Islam's inability to adapt—time will tell.
