There’s such a thing as a progressive Muslim society?Who has ever said that Egypt is a progressive Muslim society?
Even relatively Egypt isn't progressive compared to other Muslim countries so if there is one its definitely not Egypt.There’s such a thing as a progressive Muslim society?
Just saw this on the Swedish news. They have a movement where more and more young people question the old customs and traditions, and the reporter interviewed 2 guys from that same movement and their decision not to believe in a god. But they take a high risk talking openly about. In the same news they were also showing this clip.
I must say. I´m a very open minded person, but to see this man being pushed over like that?
Who can live in a place where you can´t even express yourself when you in fact was invited to give an opinion?
I really dislike religion and what it does with people.
I'm sure history will be kind to the t.v. show host there.
Thank Reason for the likes of Hitchens who have exposed these charlatans for who they are.
Sherman: What will you do to win the votes of the Americans who are Atheists?Reporter (Roger I. Sherman): Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are atheists?
G.H.W. Bush: No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.
Sherman: What will you do to win the votes of the Americans who are Atheists?
Bush (Senr): I guess I'm pretty weak in the Atheist community. Faith in god is important to me.
Sherman: Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are Atheists?
Bush (Senr): No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.
Sherman (somewhat taken aback): Do you support as a sound constitutional principle the separation of state and church?
Bush (Senr): Yes, I support the separation of church and state. I'm just not very high on Atheists.
I agree on the importing regressive backwards cultures/people who won't change and will try to change us. We have our own religious chauvinists but fortunately they don't have power and most Americans don't back their ideas of religious imposition.And this is why it makes so much sense to be importing these neanderthals into western countries.
That still makes Bush Snr look like an anti-democratic religious bigot. And I am dam sure he doesn't believe in god, he is feigns it for cultural and political reasons.Sherman: What will you do to win the votes of the Americans who are Atheists?

He slaughtered so many atheists tooThat still makes Bush Snr look like an anti-democratic religious bigot. And I am dam sure he doesn't believe in god, he is feigns it for cultural and political reasons.
Well my comment was in the context of Western politics, and was not comparing Bush Snr. to some Islamic country.He slaughtered so many atheists too
