A request from Brain. He wants to know the religious affiliation of FFI members, as he is trying to unblock the site from netnanny and few other content filter software. People there are arguing that we are not representing a wide spectrum of society and that only few Christian and Muslim fundamentalists visit the site.
So can you please cast your vote?
Thank you in advance.
Ariel.

I am a Zoroastrian, I am born into a half Muslim, half Zoroastrian family. I have chosen Zoroastrianism as my religion & decided to speak up against Islam after a thorough study of its theology, founder, current behavior, teatment of minorities & non Muslims etc.
I respect the Zoroastrian culture & value system, the rights it has managed to give women despite being a religion whose followers live mostly in Iran & India, their work ethics & civilized behavior, although I am agnostic, I see no reason to ditch my allegiance to Zoroastrianism without reason. I like being a member of a religion with so many more positives than negatives.
I believe Aksel Ankersen was also Zoroastrian, a convert to the faith, pity he doesn't visit much(?) nowadays.

It's far worse for the priests. Not that having your childhood raped from you is better in either case. But the priest is supposedly a man of god and is supposed to carry himself in a holy manner. A public school teacher, you would hope they would do the right thing......but no ones carrying around the bible and jesus love.
If you can't trust a priest not to "kiddie fiddle," then society is screwed. These priests and the jerks who covered it up deserve the lowest level in Dante's hell. The secular "kiddie fiddlers" can get the 8th level.

Tata is multinational corporation. Unfortunately, the population of Parsis is declining due to low birth rate. It would be a tragedy if the Parsi community disappears from India. Sohrab Modi was one of the greatest Indian actors of the old school. Homi Bhabha was the first Nuclear scientist of India. Sadly he was killed in a plane crash. Parsis have made great contribution to India inspite of being in very small numbers, only about 100,000 far more than Muslims. Maneckshaw was a Commander in Chief of the Indian armed forces in the 1970's during the days of Indira Gandhi. Maneckshaw brought Pakistani army to it's knees in Bangladesh war.
Anyhow, I don't think Islamic style mysogeny and barbarism are required to have some family values. There are other barbarians at work... and they are extremely enlightened.
