Nice to see the superficial western views are still nice and fresh.
It's not always about looks.
Our gripe has nothing to do with the beauty aspect of it. Its the oppresive burka.
Burka, KKK hood, Swastika all the same to me.
The Burqa isn't anymore different then this:
Which is totally accepted and the only difference is you just see the face, while the other you just see the eyes.
Ah yes, and then the response is
"Well they choose to be a nun"I grew up Roman Catholic, I know pretty much all I need to know about the whole she'bang, not to toot my own horn.
I only say that so that I can also inform you that a Roman Catholic Nun is usually born into a roman catholic family, just as the muslim woman.
Now you and I both know the brain washing crap starts usually before you can even remeber anything... sometimes before you're even born.
The Nun grows up, gets all into Jesus and God, starts helping out in the church a lot because the parents say it's good and the right thing to do, and they believe it. The Muslim woman is explained the same things and accepts their family's beliefs because like the future nun, she believes her religion to be true.
And males do too don't forget.
Anyways, the future nun gets to the proper age and jumps into being a Nun and devouts the rest of her life, body, soul to God/Jesus...... Virgin for the rest of their lives..... never marry a man or have a family.
At least that's the proper thing to do.
The Muslim woman gets to have a husband, a family, a job, a life and still worship her religion in very much the same way, although slightly different.... they wear their burqa less often then a Nun, who has to wear that outfit almost all the time, almost everywhere she goes.
She doesn't have to wear it at home and most muslims in countries like Canada, UK, Australia and other western nations, they have the choice to wear the burqa or not..... indeed.... a Choice.
And believe it or not, some actually choose to wear it.
People keep talking about how it's all about oppression, and yet they have more freedoms in their lives then say a nun or a priest.
Speaking of "Oppressive" clothing:
^ How about the Amish?
^ How about Mennonites?
Shall we start branding all of Christianity based on those examples?
It seems to me people find it simply easier to attack/generalize against what they don't know, rather then actually understand it. They seem to have no issue lumping all of Islam, extremist and moderate, into one group, which is dangerous and out to kill us all or convert us.
So are Christians, what's the diff?
If all Muslims actually wanted to take everybody else, convert them or kill them and they were actually such a horrible danger, chances are they would have made their move by now and started WWIII.
There certainly plenty of Muslims around the world to start up a big war... yet they don't and the only risks are the lunatic extremists who can only gain attention by blowing themselves up.
People have to seriously drop the fearmongering and actually look at the overall situation for what it really is.
