A muslim group that has never received any media attention, is possibly the greatest threat to capitalism, yet has never had a knife swung or a bullet fired in its name, has had the farthest reaching influence in the Muslim world and defines its own greatest enemy as 'The self'

Bradford’s only synagogue is located just 500 meters from the city’s main mosque. The news of the leaky roof of the synagogue made the local Muslim community to step up a donation campaign for immediate repairs.
All in the name of religion. Just shoot them all already. Hunters should be shooting crossbows at those motherfuckers instead of mountain lions. Africa, what did you expect... Kill them all with fire.
Kneel down and pray, bitches.

In Islam, the Muslim scripture, the Qur'an, is taken to represent the completion of these scriptures, and to synthesize them as God's true, final, and eternal message to humanity. Because the People of the Book recognize the God of Abraham as the one and only god, as do Muslims, and they practice revealed faiths based on divine ordinances, tolerance and autonomy is accorded to them in societies governed by sharia (Islamic divine law).

Scientists consider it ridiculous even to entertain the notion that science, a human achievement built on logic and reason, could possibly have anything in common with religious myths. The faithful, on the other hand, are reluctant to warm up to the idea that Science, a human creation, could be compared to divine religion.
Why is the church still such a force in our society when most of us disregard its clerics' teachings?

A handwritten letter by one Albert Einstein will be auctioned off this month with an opening bid of $3 million.
This piece of history won’t be found at Sotheby’s auction house, however. This pricey, handwritten note will hit the online auction block at eBay.
The letter, called the “God Letter,” was penned by Einstein just one year before his passing and shows the Austrian genius challenging the notion of God, religion and the idea of being “chosen.”

I've seen a lot of debate online about this topic lately. The majority of the accounts I've read throw around the phrase "genital mutilation". Militant mothers with in-tact sons feel they need to fight to increase society's awareness about the frivolity and abuse that is circumcision: we consider female circ an abuse, it's an antiquated anti-sex/masturbation tactic, why do harm infringing on nature's will? The few and feeble that I've seen take a pro-circ stance usually say they weren't informed at the time of their child's birth and thought it was the norm, chose circumcision for religious reasons, had their child circumcised for aesthetic reasons (so he looks the same as his daddy), or believe it aids in keeping male genitals cleaner and less prone to infection.
I've seen a lot of female word-vomit and ire about the topic, and I'm left wondering: what do TAN's males think?
