Reminds me of...
All she lacks is a light-saber.
On all threads, but particularly “open” threads, posters must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Making a thread “about” another Freeper is “making it personal.”
When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun “you” before hitting “enter.”
Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.
Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

Thin-skinned (emotional, whiney or mercurial temper) posters are the disruptors on open threads.

Yes, they make the decision of wearing the hajib or being beaten ... that's a pretty tough decision to make. Oh, they are so brave.
Here's the part that bothers me; we have given millions of lives over our history, of our best who have died on foreign shores to give these people freedom to live as they will. For ingrateful people to be free from tyranny; then we have religious sects who wish to inflict tyranny on the entire globe, comeing here and complaining about how they feel 'persecuted' for wearing the hajib.
Darling, if you don't like it here; you are free to leave. No one invited you, you chose to come here. Now that you are here, it is expected that you will adopt OUR ways, we are under no compuncture to change our ways. While youa re here, you will see people who are free to change from Jewish to Catholocism, to Mormonism, to Buddhist and even Athiesm without stigma. Try that at home, then tell me about how rough you have it here.
It is a symbol of faith if chosen by women, a symbol of oppression if forced on women. Seems pretty straight forward.
In most cases, it is likely a symbol of faith in Western democracies). In eastern and/or less libertarian countries, I think it is more prone to being forced on women, and thus a symbol of oppression.

Mormon men put a veil over the face of their dead wife in their coffins. At the resurrection (according to LDS belief) the man is resurrected first and >then< they remove the veil off the wife’s face and she’s resurrected. That’s why Mormon women will hold on to their husband no matter what ... no veil removal, no resurrection.
Translation: What? The "News" has been "wrong" to link terrorism or suppression of women with Islam??? These are just "myths" and "misconceptions."
(Yeah, this is what Mormons say, too)

I guess she never read the Koran then.
But IF it's true, someone needs to tell the muzzie men about that. They don't appear to have gotten the message.
When I was in grad school, muslim women in gradschool that I interacted with would choose a logical compromise. They wore what I called the “jackie onassis getup”.
Big dark glasses and a sheer headscarf.
Seemed pretty intelligent choice to me. They get to keep their muslim modesty while still feeling westernized.
If the muslim in question is a cracker, it’s a sign of oppression. If she is a person of color, it is a beautiful reminder of the gorgeous mosaic of humanity.
There aren’t enough body parts on a woman to cover - or “shame up” to cover for the horrible way Muslim men act.
