Text of report by Azerbaijani website Day.az on 20 November

Baku, 20 November: A group of creative youth in Azerbaijan started a campaign called Renouncing Islam in protest against the suppression of the freedom of speech and thought being implemented by manipulating Islam and the name of Prophet Muhammad.

Journalists Aqsin, Murad Keyxanqala, novelists Sevinc Parvana, Gunel Movlud, Qan Turali, essayists Sahriyar Sarica and others have kicked off the action.

At this point, the number of participants in the Renouncing Islam campaign is growing.

Journalist Seymur Baycan and composer Firuddin Allahverdiyev, who renounced Islam several years ago, have already expressed their support to the action.

Christianity as being spiritual, and Islam being of the flesh.

BINGO!

Christianity has a Savior...a gift offered to ALL, it cannot be earned, and no one deserves it!

Islam...well, we know what islam is and where it is from!

BTW... I didn't mean to make you blush. I've been gone for a few weeks working on the election and finally finished late Wednesday night. I'm looking forward to getting back to the threads and finding some solutions for what is happening to our Country. I love the suggestions you made in the previous post about pork...
