@aral thanks for that. Interesting that you found islam so repressive even in Turkey? Shame the way things seem to be going more theocratic

@Swill_i_ams Repression doesn’t have to be chained hands and 50 lashes :) Psychological repression, constant judgement also rather horrible.

@aral is Islam diametrically opposed to liberalism or the interpretation of it? Surely Christianity is too if u took the bible at its word? -
@aaronjaffery Yep. Christianity also. Although Islam is closed to re-interpretation. Not a fan of either.

@aral Maybe religion doesn't DESERVE to be a protected status like race and gender...but it is. At least in the US. -
