I used to think like that too, but honestly no one really follows the book to the tee or even slightly. If they did then most countries and people would be living a life like the people of Afghanistan and probably even worse than that.
The sad part is most religious people only pick and choose the parts of the religion that is convenient for them, conforms with their world views and easy for them to follow and ignore everything else. And then have the nerve to place judgement on everyone else who doesn't share their views.
Most BC members who are living abroad are reaping the benefits of civilized, secular and democratic government that acknowledges the rights of minorities. They have the nerve to take sides in favor of religious fanatics who oppose secular government and who are trying to take rights away from the minorities in Bangladesh!
How fracking crazy is that?
