Waleed (from Saudi Arabia) argues that Islam is beneficial for women, concluding:
How can we then explain to Muslim women that atheist women of the west do envy them for the boon and blessing of Islam? Muslim women have to know that their counterparts in the west lost the treasures of life, the secret of happiness and the mercy of the delight when they abandoned the teachings of Islam.
I’ve known many atheist women, and none expressed the slightest envy for Muslim women in Saudi Arabia who cannot go out in public without being completely covered. I’ve known many theist women, too, and strangely none of them expressed any such envy, either.
In fact, I’ll bet that Waleed doesn’t know a single atheist woman of any sort, much less any that have expressed envy for Muslim women in Saudi Arabia. So unless he meant to say something else and expressed himself badly because he’s not using his native language, it sounds like he’s just making junk up in order to make himself feel better about his religion.
What’s interesting is the fact that when it comes to just about every standard, Saudi Arabia is not of the more attractive places to live in the world. When was the last time they produced anything of significant value in terms of art, literature, science, or philosophy?Educational opportunities are poor and job prospects are worse. At the same time, the nation brings in huge amounts of money from oil revenues — if any nation were prosperous, it should be them. The reasons have to be sought in Saudi Arabia’s culture — a culture defined by an extreme devotion to religious traditionalism which Waleed thinks is envied by others.
What a joke...

thanks for visiting my space and i hope to see another blogs .. in fact i dont have any answer except what allah (The god) had said in the Quran (Book of god)(15:2): [How much will those who disbelieved desire that they were Muslims (those who have submitted themselves to Allâh's Will in Islâm Islâmic Monotheism - this will be on the Day of Resurrection when they will see the disbelievers going to Hell and the Muslims going to Paradise).]

Natural things which can’t not be seen with the human eye, yet you believe in these…
Air, gravity,time, viruses bacteria, atoms, wind, radiation,mitochondria and chloroplasts, prokaryotic cells so if all these have existed long before you ever believe in them…why is it so unreasonable to believe in a Sovereign Supernatural being…God?

I don’t “believe in” them, I accept the evidence that they exist.
I will when you provide comparable evidence for a “Sovereign Supernatural Being.”
Hey Waleed, where is your physical proof of Hell and Paradise?
Books and musings don’t count.
Waleem and Tatiana, you are both out of your minds, you are both blaming the current situations in the world on a lack of respect for the religious nonsense that has caused the situation, It is the people that belive in your God that have caused the situation, and not a one of them that believe in your God has done anythin to fix the situation!
this belief in your God has never helped a single human in the history of these beliefs, yet you folks keep saying it wil be different this time around.
the simple reality is that if you keep doing the same thing over and over again and always expect a different result this time around, your insane!!
I believe and always do,that god is only for dead people. Why else when believers always proclaim that when u die its either heaven or hell. And also that is the time to be with your creator or god. Kind of funny, so what the hell are we living beings going to do with god? I say to hell with god!
