some good points,but it is only you that is comparing Islam with other religions,no one else has,and its irrelevant anyway,the original point made by Paul was that the Islamic faith oppresses women.The fact that other religions may or may not oppress women is beside the point,that has not been debated.My view personally is not based on the media,its based in part from having a missionary for a father,and having had many arguements with him I have my OWN view.It certainly isn't brainwashing,but yes,its based on western culture,naturally,that is where i grew up.

Also,what is wrong with having an opinion? Its the one advantage of living in a democracy.
