Does Islam need to be mad?
OP - January 19, 2013, 09:30 AM
Women teachers getting sacked, girls not allowed in schools, having to check which foot you leave or enter a mosque with, huge emotional over reactions to anyone questioning, penchant for suicide bombing, not liking dogs, music, art.....
Rules about how to face mecca on the space station, deforming language about human rights.....
It is almost as if Islam would cease to exist if it did not act crazy.
Is it the fool or the jester institutionalised and writ large?
When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.
