Same.

But as long as state and religion aren't separate then at least it should be fair and Islam treated like any other major religion, isn't it just about representing the people that live here?

I'm not going to get overly upset about religions not having rights tbqh, especially one that treats women like second class citizens

I'm not too fussed about it either really, I just think that fairness should be applied to things like this. If we have freedom of religion and people choose to follow it. And I think generally that integration is one of the best ways of phasing out out-dated views like treating women as second class citizens, it's not something that's a core aspect of Islam as far as I know, and I think generally that over time most people adapt to the society they're a part of over what religious text they follow, it's the more instinctive thing to do.

Yeah, I corrected myself in another post above actually, It probably is a cultural thing in alot of cases rather than the religion itself I suppose. I still wouldn't be campaigning for religious rights though as I'm totally against the whole idea of organised religions and religions being funded by the state.

Christianity doesnt, Islam does
they are different , to say they are the same isnt just wrong its discrimination
