Why Are so Many of Islam's Clerics so Full of Hatred?

Every time I see or hear extremist clerics of Islam spread violence hatred and intolerance, I wonder what they think their prophet would think of their actions.  I also wonder why their followers don't ask the self same question of their religious "leaders". Then I remember that faith is as blind as it is destructive and is the main source of human suffering.

The latest target of the archaic zealots is Amina Tyler.

Amina is a 19 year old Tunisian girl who recently posted a topless photo on Facebook in protest at the inequality and subjugation of women in her (Muslim) society.


Amina is being detained by her family under house arrest - incommunicado - and with the help of local police. She has received numerous death threats after appearing with the words "Fuck your morals" and "My body is mine and not the source of anyone's honour" written across her torso.

Her brave and noble campaign has since inspired world wide protests in support of her actions.

You can also read the inspirational words of  fellow blogger SoggyMog on her valiant effort to highlight Amina's plight.

Amina is extremely brave to stand up for her rights in a society where such actions can easily lead to her death.

I know the Islam preachers of hate will try to break her bones, but will they ever break her spirit?

I sincerely hope not.

I ask all my blogpals to please support Amina by spreading this campaign through social media.

Together we can make a difference.

  1. She's a brave young woman do to that. A huge cultural battle is going on in the Arab world - I just hope it isn't as bloody as the 30 years' War in Europe.

  2. I have no time anymore for religious ridiculousness. Half the world spends its time (wasted) adhering to rules that have no place in the modern world. Unfortunately Islam is the worst of them all.

  3. Wow, I followed some of the links, and I'm thrilled that she has world-wide support. Of course, none of that is doing her any good right now. She needs somebody to go rescue her from her makeshift prison.

  5. The only good thing that ever comes from the Middle East is the bravery of those who don't accept Islam. As for what the prophet would have thought, I rather think that he was the source of the oppression.
