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
Hi
I agree that religion and state should be separate; only then justice could be dispensed properly as mentioned in Quran.

Hi paarsurrey,
Assalamu aleikum wa ramatullahi wa barakatuh.
Thank you for your comment. Do you think you could elaborate on how you believe the Qur’an would support this idea?
Peace,

Hi
Yes, I would request you to kindly access the following link:

and you will get all the needed material and reasonably explained one from Quran which supports your views I think. Religion and State should be kept separate for a true rule of justice for everybody on any religion.
Kindly keep visiting my site for peaceful exchange of views.
