The comment below sums up exactly my opinion on the subject of religion. There should be a separation between religion and politics. And it should always be noted that every major religion has spilled blood in the name of their God.
"But I think it matters mostly because it is the banner of a reactionary political movement.... This type of politics ignores the distinction between the oppressed and oppressor and actually sees them as one and the same. It is politics that implies that people want to live the way they are forced to. That they actually deserve no better because it is ‘their own culture and religion’ imputing on innumerable people the most reactionary elements of culture and religion, which is that of the ruling class, parasitical imams and self-appointed ‘community leaders’.
Otherwise, Islam is no different from other religions.
You can find just as much misogyny, cruelty and inhumanity in the Bible or other religious books as you can in the Koran."
