More Quotes from Taslima Nasrin:
I came from a country where religious fundamentalists, including governmental authorities, denied my freedom to have thoughts that are different from their own. As a punishment, they demanded my execution by hanging. I was forced to leave my own country. I had to pay heavily for the sole reason that I believe in human rights and freedom of expression.Taslima Nasrin

Taslima Nasrin
If any religion allows the persecution of the people of different faiths, if any religion keeps women in slavery, if any religion keeps people in ignorance, then I can't accept that religion.
Taslima Nasrin
Those religions that are oppressive to women are also against democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression.
