" I just can't even begin to reply to all of these posts because they are ridiculous, but you cannot afford people second class status simply based on their religion."

that's what islam is about, the dhimmi status was invented by your islam. It's still in place in every muslim country, therefore look in the mirror.

"However, I look at those countries and I see countries in which dictators use harsh laws, masked as religion, to subjugate the masses and stay in power."

incidentally, the religion is not buddhism or shamanism. The religion is islam, what a coincidence.

And stop blaming colonialism, islam has always been like that even BEFORE colonialism. Turkey or the ottoman empire was never colonialized but they used to ask for blood money to christians

And if iran is so democratic why don't you move there?
