Le sue stesse parole la condannano a morte: “I don’t believe in God, … The religion mongers segregate women from the human race, I too am divided, I too am defrauded of my human rights…”
Atea, femminista, medico e scrittrice: se voleva farsi perseguitare dai fanatici religiosi ha proprio assommato tutti i motivi d’odio. Nella sua conferenza “Religious Extremism and Ethnic Rivalries”, Humanist World Congress in Mexico City 16 November 1996, spiega cosa la spinse a scrivere contro le religioni, qui l’islam: “When I began to study the Koran, the holy book of Islam, I was surprised to see that ‘the sun revolves around the earth.’ I found lots of unreasonable ideas in the Koran. Certainly it was discriminating to women. The women in the Koran are treated as slaves. They are nothing but sexual objects. Naturally I set aside the Koran and looked around me. I found religion equally oppressive in real life. So one day I had to take up my pen and start writing against the various misdeeds in the name of religion, against all the injustice, un- reason and prejudice sanctioned and promoted by religious institutions. I began to try to expose the crimes of religion, particularly the injustice and oppression against women. In my writing I began to speak out against all this. I have already mentioned the result of that.” http://taslimanasrin.com/index2.html
