IF I had to choose between the abusive demon of Islam and atheism I’d choose atheism too. Even better than either is the real God, who doesn’t write people off because of labels like “liberal feminist” and “atheist”. He loves and died for us all, and if liberal feminist atheists truly understood that they might turn to the truth. Might find that the freedom they so strongly desire looks different than they’ve always thought.
If she hadn’t stepped outside of “respectability”, would we even know anybody was fighting against Islam on behalf of women? Who do we know of who is fighting Islam on behalf of women? Hillary? Huma? NOW? Jane Fonda? They’re doing worse than nothing.
What “respectable” way is there to fight against Islam on behalf of women? What way for the women who are stuck in it, and what way for those of us who are outside of it and have more options (that we’re generally not using)? Maybe if we walked a mile in desperate moccasins we might have a different view of what she did.
Who said those were her only options?
They'll get you to the same eventual destination, you know.
" Even better than either is the real God, who doesn’t write people off because of labels like “liberal feminist” and “atheist”. He loves and died for us all, and if liberal feminist atheists truly understood that they might turn to the truth."
Oh, so I "wrote her off" by stating what she is, huh?
Am I to conclude that you never comment on atheistic feminists, then, because that would be "writing them off?" Unless they poop on a flag, which for some unfathomable reason invites comparisons to Jesus.
" Might find that the freedom they so strongly desire looks different than they’ve always thought."
I agree with you there.
"If she hadn’t stepped outside of “respectability”, would we even know anybody was fighting against Islam on behalf of women? Who do we know of who is fighting Islam on behalf of women? Hillary? Huma? NOW? Jane Fonda? They’re doing worse than nothing.
What this woman did amounts to no more. She's an exhibitionist who gets off on this kind of thing, plain and simple.

Well, the chick isn't exactly "stuck" in Islam; she received asylum in Sweden. Crapping on flags isn't "fighting", Butter. Like I said, I share her sentiment, but geez, have some dignity.
If every Muslim woman on the planet followed her lead, what do you think it would avail them? These bloodthirsty Islamic savages are in need of killing---not publicity stunts.
