Freedom doesn't mean license to do whatever you want. True freedom means the rights of others must be respected, otherwise all will not be free.
Freedom means obeying laws, but having the right to object to unjust laws, and to vote out governments that pass bad ones.
Freedom means having choices, and being able to exercise them, instead of being treated like a child who can't be trusted to be responsible.
Freedom means being able to go to whatever church you want, when you want.

Dear Kyeser
Freedom doesn't mean license to do whatever you want I AGREE WITH YOU IN THAT - POPE DOES NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO SAY WHAT HE WANTS - THERE IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND NOT FREEDOM OF ABUSE. True freedom means the rights of others must be respected, otherwise all will not be free - ISLAM RESPECTS THE RIGHT OF OTHERS AS LONG AS YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE. DON'T INTERFERE IN THEIR ACTIVITIES (RELIGIOUS).
Freedom means obeying laws (MUSLIMS OBEY LAW OF THE LAND), but having the right to object to unjust laws, and to vote out governments that pass bad ones( THEY DO, AND I AGREE TO THAT ALSO).
Freedom means having choices( CHOICE OF WHAT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE A FOLLOWER OF ANY FAITH BUT IF YOU ARE THEN ALL FAITHS HAVE DOCTRINES OR RULES THAT YOU HAVE TO ABIDE BY - IN ANY RELIGION IT SAY THOU SHALL NOT STEAL BUT IF YOU DO SO YOU WILL GO TO HELL SO YOU DON'T HAVE THE CHOICE OF STEALING), and being able to exercise them, instead of being treated like a child who can't be trusted to be responsible.
Freedom means being able to go to whatever church you want, when you want. (GOING TO WHATEVER CHURCH MAN YOU ARE VERY WRONG HERE. CHRISTIANS HAVE THE LARGEST DIVISIONS IN THE WORLD I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CATHOLIC GOING TO PROT CHURCH BUT WHERE EVER THEIR IS A MOSQUE YOU ARE FREE TO PRAY TO GOD THERE - THAT THE WHAT IS CALLED FREEDOM)

freedom is not license to do whatever you want because you have an obligation to respect the rights of other and doing whatever you want jepardises that. Islam does not support oppresion or the passing of unjust laws and if you did your homework you would realise that. Why would a muslim want to go to any other church anyway?

the freedom to bomb hundreds of innocent women and children because sitting atop one of the worlds biggest oil fields.
the freedom to abort babies...
the freedom to allow underage sex
the freedom to perpetuate a decadent capitalist world order which gives makes the rich even wealthier and sucks the poor bone dry...
the freedom to nurture and embolden and arm a ruthless wicked occupying zionist regime which kills and maims and humiliates muslims at will (whih si often) while you sit in your warm and comfy start bucks wondering what gives muslims the right to react...
and for you specifically...the simple joy of picking out a date for the night from your personal male gigolo catalog...
oh btw
islam believes in democracy, rights, choice and all..... a 1000 years before yall got around to understanding them....unfortunately many muslim states are passing thru a medieval stage of their histories like western civilization has done too for political reasons.....our golden era of cherishing knowledge, of harmony and a healthy social fabric has passed fo the time being..... but will hopefully return as we enter the information age...likeit or not we're a billion plus people...we'll soon be a force to reckon with

i see you fall for the stigma relating to this religion. Perhaps if your delved a bit more, you could understand, the freedom felt by muslim people. i do hope you can one day see beneath the blinkers covering your eyes, and see that freedom mean different things to different people, and even a man in prison can be free.

But I am free! The things that I cannot do are because of the bad political situation in my country, not because of my religion. I am a muslim girl and my religion gives me all the freedom I need.
It is my government.

The Sufis say,
We are conditioned to believe that freedom means more choices,
but if God/Allah has already given us the directions to the straight path to Him, how can there be a better choice? Meaning the Quran and Bible.
More choices mean greater chances for error.
Hence, if you don't choose the straight path to Him, then you deviate.
He has given us the way to the Path to Life, it is your choice to choose it or choose the path to death.

and what exactly makes you feel we don't have all of that already and much more. looks like you have never been to a muslim country or do you feel its your duty to spread democracy & freedom the american way?
How can you judge our freedom when you are enforcing your busy enforcing your version of freedom.
Honestly we are sick and tired of the words freedom & democracy. Leave us alone!

We ,Muslims, all have freedom and god lets us to choose our way by ourselves with no obligation . we are agree with your discription about freedom and all of them are exist in our religion. those are the some goverments that limit people freedom and dont let them to make a desigen for their life and the way of their living . I hope that you study more about Islam and know further about this perfect religon.
