Just a reminder that Mohammed raped a nine-year-old girl, and women and girls under Islam are still suffering to this day under this perverse, misogynistic belief system. Eid Mubarak.

Please don't take HN into religious flamewar. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If there were an HN thread celebrating some holiday in Scientology or FLDS or the Westboro Baptist Church, would you hold people to these same rules and flag any criticism?

The founder of Islam was far worse than the founders of any of the religions I listed. Why does he get a pass? Just because billions of people think he was a good person?

You're doing what I just asked the GP not to do.

So critical discussion isn't allowed around religion because it would be "a flame war"? This is so odd.
