'Too Few Criticise Islam': ABBA Star Bjorn [sic] Ulvaeus Says
"Look at all the misery in the Middle East for example. All these countries have Islam in common, and far too few dare to criticize Islam as an ideology, and what it's doing to these countries," the 68-year-old told The Wall Street Journal.
"I know I might get punched in the face for saying these things, but my conviction is that less religion in the world would be better."
Ulvaeus said he did not mean to single out any specific religion but rather believes that countries, like his native Sweden, should be "open, liberal, secular and democratic."
"Religion is the root of so much misery in the world and I've always thought there is lack of criticism against it," he said. » | News Limited Network | Thursday, September 12, 2013
