Atheist gets kicked off Egyptian TV talk show....

[A HERETIC I AM]

2. No shit.

There are a bunch of videos on YouTube of various individuals challenging the current state of Islam on Arabic TV, some of them really compelling. There are most certainly voices of reason critical of the present state of affairs in the Islamic world.

I have watched quite a few and it gives me hope that the religion has at least SOME voices that want to move Islam into the modern world, instead of languishing in the 14th century where much of it seems to reside. Unfortunately, there are still too many types like that Mahmoud asshole who think that if you hold a different view, you are mentally deranged.

Of course, the very same can be said of many Christians in this country.
