Seeking Common Ground: Why Progressive Muslims & Atheists Should Work Together

[trotsky]

1. Why does anyone need lecturing on this?

If you don't push your god into the public sphere and base our laws on your god beliefs, then we'll be able to work together just fine.

For the record, I live in Ilhan Omar's district and was proud to vote for her to represent me in Congress.

Where this issue gets murky is when you have otherwise progressive believers who want to insist that religion is NEVER a factor in extremism, that true religious belief is always liberal and good, and the folks who are infringing on the rights of others are simply acting in human ways, and their religion has nothing to do with it. You're revising history to try and claim that your religion was never responsible for anything bad.

That's disingenuous and deceitful, and you and I will not get along. Understand, guillaumeb?
