Kia Ora. Let me tell you that I am a woman, and Islam is the very antithesis of everything a secular democracy (such as the one I live in) stands for. And, in the long run, it will be the educated muslim women who will turn against Islam until your ideology reforms or withers and dies. Believe me, I know many of them who are quietly working towards their freedom, altho' externally behaving as muslims they have no intention of living their lives as slaves to Islam. It is not their ambition to be baby factories, for some, their intention is not to be married and there is protection here for those who choose that path.

Education for females will eventually undermine Islam - look at how many youth that are already leaving the religion, especially in Iran! The only way that Islam is expanding is thro' the amount of children they produce which keeps them in the lower economic group and therefore less educated. Look at how many Muslim youth (30%) who leave school with no qualifications in U.K. but are not too proud to accept tax payers benefits to support them and their families. The chickens will soon come home to roost now the British taxpayers are latching on to how much these people are abusing the welfare system. I even saw a complaint by one Muslim (on MPACUK forum) complaining how his taxes are being abused by muslim beneficiaries. He is a second generation U.K. muslim who worked hard at school, went on to university and is now a professional but complains about his taxes going to support the bludgers who strain the public infrastructure with large families, four wives and no jobs. Ironic, isn't it?

However, live in your dreamworld - but please explain this - if islam is the answer to world problems why hasn't the global population already reverted ? I really would like to know -
