This is a positive move and a big step forward from within a Muslim country I think

I agree.Maybe other countries could follow their lead over time.

Yeah, I think this is the only way to successfully combat ISIS and groups like them. That video that caused such an argument on here yesterday, the one where the Muslim lady asks How do you fight an Ideology with weapons? (or words to that effect) I mean she is right in a way, obviously the west has to try and protect itself from attacks etc, but this is the only way to really solve the problem, it has to change from within, evolve a bit

This is very true. One of the biggest problems with established religions is most of them carry ideology from the past from a time when that may have been normal. Today the world is different and these religions need to modernize their views.

There was a time when people thought the world was flat, now we know it is round. It's no different for ridiculous ideas and misogyny. Once people thought it was acceptable for a woman to be the property of her father or husband, today that is not acceptable.
