Posted by Rashid Mostafa It South Asia the system Adab, which allows each person the dignity of their own belief, has room for discussion without blatent and unmannerly attacks on faith and spirituality. The focus on minutia and the use of ridicule doen not sit kindly in our society. I myself have been trapped by negative religious belief in the past. I was helped to think my way out of it by unemotional arguments and logic. I feel you should concentrate on the basic concepts of religious vs secular thought and not become embroiled in mud slinging. Best wishes Rashid

I feel that the arguments presented in the site do not further the humanists' cause. The attacks on Islam verged on the Christian fundermentalists hysterical approach. Attacking the minor details of Muslim teaching (Keraman and Katebin, for example) does not encourage people to challenge their faith - it causes them to become defensive and to protect it.
