Islam is history because we live in the 21st century now, opined controversial exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen here Tuesday.
‘The Islam religion and their scriptures are out of place and out of time. It still follows the 7th century laws and is hopeless. The need of the hour is not reformation but revolution,’ said Nasreen interacting with reporters here.
The feminist author of Bengali book ‘Lajja’ is in Kerala in connection with the release of the Malayalam translation of four of her books, which would be released at Thrissur on Aug 24.
Nasreen said a secular state should have a uniform civil code and should be based on equality, existence and not on religion.
‘The state can do a lot of things, and both the state and religion should be separate. The state should not encourage religion. Today religious education and madrassas (religious seminaries) are going up. Jehad is stupidity,’ said the writer.
She said she had been fighting religious fundamentalism for long.
‘I don’t go to the streets, instead I write and that is my way of protest. I was born in a Muslim family and Muslim women suffer under Islam. None told me to fight against oppression. It was inside me. Women are treated as slaves, sexual objects and childbearing machines,’ added Nasreen.
According to Nasreen, noted Kerala writer Kamala Surayya, who was Kamala Das before she converted to Islam, had now realised that she had made a mistake in converting to Islam. She had held a meeting with Surayya here earlier.
‘When I asked her if she regrets becoming a Muslim, she said ‘yes’. She has realised that Islam does not give equality,’ said the writer.
She said she would love to return to her country, and if not allowed to then she would like to live in Kolkata because a writer likes to live in surroundings familiar to them.
OK, only 1.2 billion more muslims to convince.
Theory has it that they inbred themselves into extinction before the Star Trek era. :)

Shes lived in India for several years, where she escaped to, after she wrote a book about how Bangladeshi muslims have mistreated the HIndu minority. Shes constantly under threeat from bangladeshi illegals in India.

She said it a lot better then I can about the truth about what Islam has been doing to women the last 1400 years.
She better look at getting a one way air ticket to the USA get out from where she is living at.
Or borgs.
The lady who wrote, "The Trouble With Islam" should talk to her about heading west so she can seek protection.
Islamism might be more of a reaction to the near total destruction of the Moslem world empire by the Mongol Horde. That would put the origin more like 800 years ago than 1300 years ago. In the aftermath of the destruction of Baghdad the surviving Mohammedans asked themselves what they might have done wrong. The islamics still don't have the correct answer.
useless trivia of the day: Taslima was also the name of the babe in Escape from L.A. Useless I tells ya!
More like the Ferengi.
Because they killed themselves or were killed off before the 23rd century.
Give them a choice:
Reject the Islam of the radicals or die.
That's fair, since that is their way of dealing with those of a "different" belief.

Khan Lumien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) was not an arab, or a muslim for that matter, if that is what you are suggesting; he was a Sikh.
You're right. He was one Sikh puppy.
