        @aral @CEMB_forum Islam is bossy. It demands the right to tell non-believers how to behave. It deserves nothing more than toleration.

        @aral muslims can be servants to any JACKASS they want, just don't expect the rest of the world to follow.

        @aral Islam is not a religion alone its a theology that combines religion and government. This is not about religious freedom.
