@danieldennett Agreed

@danieldennett You see what religion does to people It's so sad!

@danieldennett serious Q: if muslim means a follower of islam, why not call apostates arab or according to their nation, not muslim.

@trirememariner why not call them apostate of islam then, not muslim apostate. By being an apostate, they'd no longer be muslim.

@trirememariner so with a different example, I wouldn't want to be called xtian apostate, but apostate of xtianity would be fine with me.

@Tarek_uk thanks. I think it's unfortunate the word arab has fallen into disuse. But I'm just a distant observer.

@Tarek_uk well, those are both pagan contributions to culture, and pretty much no one identifies as pagan culturally. Xtians renamed xmas.

@Tarek_uk it's there, sure, but out here we don't identify as such when we've parted with the religion. Unless of course we're closeted.
