I support the rights of all people to practice their religious beliefs privately, but I oppose the idea of respecting religions. In truth, I have no respect for any religion. I believe religion is not compatible with human rights, women's rights, or freedom of expression.
Taslima NasrinReligion is against women's rights and women's freedom. In all societies women are oppressed by all religions.
Taslima NasrinGovernmental defense of any theology necessarily weakens the legitimacy of both the government and the theology.
Taslima NasrinEvery religion oppresses women. I talk about the Koran because I know this book best. It allows for torture and other mistreatment, especially for women. And I despise the Sharia laws. They cannot be changed. They must be thrown out, abolished.
