I've seen a docu about ex muslims and saw the YouTube videos on your channel that showed brave women talking about their experiences. Huge respect for them.

I'm born in the Buddhist culture and I feel attracted to Tibetan Buddhism. I love the quote of the Dalai Lama: my heart and my brain are my temples. My philosophy is kindness.
However, I don't believe in reincarnation and I'm also atheist. I love to listen and learn from Richard Dawkins and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
The Tibetans and Lepchas are buddhists and they love to enjoy life with a beer or wine, some music,.. They carry their religion out in what they do for others, how they treat others. It's all about finding peace within yourself and find a way to be happy and allow others to be happy.
I'm not into the converting thing. Philosophies should be like clothes and everyone should have the freedom to choose the clothes that would make them feel comfortable. If the clothes were no match, you choose other clothes. No one can decide for others which clothes would make others feel comfortable. People have to find out what would make them happy for themselves.

I'm interested in this topic as today I had to think about islam and women. There's a handyman at the office and he always gets very angry when I, a woman, ask him something, even though I ask it nicely. Then he starts to scold at me. The bosses, men, can ask him everything. They see him as a poor guy and want to give him a chance. I've also noticed he has no respect for our kind cleaning ladies. He's a very traditional muslim guy who talks a lot about his faith.
Some people in the office think he acts like that because he's a muslim who hates being asked to do something by women.
But he lives in a west-european country and belongs to the third generation of muslims who live here. The boss said that he has lots of kids.
Is it because if his religion? But I'm not part of his community.

I've never experienced something like this before. I've met Sherpas and Tibetans here and they treated women with lots of respect. And the local people here also do not disrespect women. So the behaviour of the handyman is new to me. I was very shocked.
