I wonder if lex is brave enough to interview someone on the opposite side. An outspoken ex muslim perhaps? To get the balanced view of this peaceful religion? I wonder if he will be able to take the torrent of abuse that will come his way from the very same people praising him for this wonderful effort. As I very well know the followers of this very tolerant religion are not very tolerant when fingers get pointed at them. Go on Lex, I dare you.,(reply>), @Rasheed: Christianity teaches separation of church and state, so if Christian nations are practising slavery it is a human error. And it goes against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that most nations with Christian values have agreed to uphold. Islam, on the other hand, does enshrine slavery. Muhammed bought and sold slaves, he had sex with his slave girls, and today there are many Muslim majority countries, eg. Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Nigeria &amp; Sudan, where black people are owned as chattel slaves by Arabs &amp; Muslims. I recommend the recent video by Dr Charles Jacobs  "Arabs and Muslims Have Black Slaves".,(reply>), @Sandy Tatham  You really believe that it's only Islam that is stuck in 7th century while 4 of the top 5 countries with the highest population of slaves are Christian nations?  The outlier at #1  being North Korea which is atheistic.,(reply>), @Rasheed: I totally agree that the majority of the world's Muslims are not Arabs. But Islam was <b>founded by a Bedouin Arab</b> and it enshrines that 7th century nomadic culture in its doctrine. North African Berbers are not Arabs but they were invaded and had the Arab culture forced upon them. Same with the Copts in Egypt, the Persians in Iran, etc. Islam was the greatest imperial force in the world at one time. Islam is primarily a political-legal ideology, which has religion as its 'cover'.,(reply>), @Sandy Tatham  The layers of unawareness in your comment. From the first sentence to the last.  Most Muslims are not even arab...,(reply>), @Rasheed: It's <b>only Islam</b> that is stuck with a 7th century Bedouin Arab culture. Many Muslims have tried to reform Islam but they have all failed (or been killed) because most Muslims believe that the Qur'an is the literal world of your god, and not a letter of your holy book can be changed. Do you think Islam is compatible with 21st century modern life? Do you think that Islamic rights for women and girls are compatible with the human rights practised by the majority of the world today? Do you think that Apostates from Islam should be killed?
