The fact you are tired of hatred has everything to do with choice...choice of a religion that eschews hatred and crys bigotry at every turn...yet veils its women in cloth and humiliates them at every turn.
I personally wouldnt waste one minute of my time supporting an organization that doesnt believe in equality.



the oppression against women is misunderstood, Islam actually gives women huge rights, Its the misinterpertation of Islam that leads to these discussions. Islam allows women to divorce their husbands, In islam you are not allowed to force your women to work in our out of the house, it is her choice to do so. Islam has asked their people to dress modestly> the hijab( worn by orthodox Muslim women) is not so different from what a nun wears is it ? how about the way a orthodox muslim man dresses not so different from a Rabbi? i am a muslim woman, I dont wear a hijab and i have been treated with equality, respect and dignity.
