Kuwaiti columnist Ibtihal al-Khatib: “my problem is with religious coercion”


An interesting video from Memri TV: Kuwaiti columnist Ibtihal al-Khatib - a Muslim woman - discusses religion, dissent,  and civil rights. She makes a compelling argument for the separation of religion and state - and asks a straightforward question: will people follow a religious ruling even if it goes against the best interests of the nation?

 

 ”…You people! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you might get to know one another…”

Qur’an 49:13
