Personally, I don't care for these veils, but he's right: it's none of my business. I can`t speak for politics in the UK or the continental Europe, but in Canada, our conservatives slash & burn programs that would help victims of violent crime even as they claim to be oh-so concerned about possible victims of abuse in Muslim homes... and too many liberals let them. I`m ashamed to admit I fell for some of it, esp. when secular muslims deplored the veils, but no more.
look, if you walk naked in America, you will be arrested. Does that mean it's ot a free country ? We should respect their culture and understand it. To them a woman not wearing the veil, is as offensive as a woman walking down the streets in no clothes and no underwear. That's their culture, let's respect that.
those countries force people to dress certain way doesn't mean we should follow. Many of those countries are also dictatorship and I don't believe we should follow.
@nghivu yes there are a few countries that force people to dress a certain way like the saudi. But not all muslim countries like pakistan, somaliland, indonesia. Somaliland don't have the sha'ria law and the women aren't forced to wear a hijab, or a burka but they do it of free will. Is somaliland a dictatorship no their democratic a lot of women vote, and work in jobs like the police, hospitals, military and etc. and no one apart from extremists are saying to follow its just the media saying it
they are free in iran because that is how they vote. theres no country on earth where everyone is free to do whatever they please thats called anarchy. but when the majority of voters get their way, that is democracy and freedom at its finest.
My wife wears Hijab (by here choice) and every time she goes out shopping people look down at her. She came home upset because people were looking at her in unfriendly way. Talking of democracy, heh.
Democracy is relative. In the West we have a *capitalist* democracy built on profit and lying politicians. I think it's perfectly reasonable to criticise that as a system.
I don't, I just expect everyone progressive to care. It's funny how some people completely disregard history and think that the current system is "working" and is as good as it gets.
The system is flawed, if anything the recent financial crisis showed it.
And the hating DOES have a lot to do with the current system. For example, one of the causes of hate is the unequal distribution of wealth.
A system where elections are not simply a chance for citizens to decide who among the ruling class will misrepresent them in parliament.
Anyway, as I said, I expect progressive people to care, not reactionaries with complete ("insane" you might say) disregard for the past and its numerous revolutions.
Most Americans are good people...but there's a lot of Islamophobia.
My aunt lives in Texas and is not voting for Obama because she thinks he is a Muslim and that Muslims are trying to overrun America!
I was talking to another one of my relations in America and one said Muslims follow a bad God!
Now these are my relations. They're good people and originally from Ireland, but 20 years of propaganda has took them. There's huge Islamophobia in America.
I am Muslim. I see how people look at me here(in America)..some actually seem to seeth with rage at just the sight of me. They don't even speak to me,just look at me like they want to kill me. And then I also meet nice people who seem to go out of their way to be kind to me. Mostly though,it is the former rather than the latter. Sad for them. Me? I'm usually happy all the time. Peace in my heart give's me that thank God.
As a Catholic, I find the Islamophobia in America disgusting. Just look at what they are trying to smear Obama with.
It doesnt even matter that his father didnt raise him, he was a Muslim, so therefore Obama was AND STILL IS a Muslim. It is sad and sickening. I can only hope the bigots hang their heads in shame when Obama gives his victory speech in November.
Also, remember the Arabphobia there was when Dubai Ports World wanted to buy those 6 ports?
Just wondering something, you identify as a Catholic, and from your tone probably a liberal. Where in the Arab/Muslim world can a woman: wear a thong, get an abortion or go drinking with her best gay friend? Everything the left loves, the Muslim World finds repugnant.
All kidding aside I am acutally a libertarian. The right is run by Jesus freaks. I see no difference between Bush and Nasrallah. On social issues I am in Hillary's corner, on economics I am in Ron Paul's.
I agree in part about the right being controlled by Jesus Freaks. More accurately, it is controlled by godless Capitalists who could care less about homos and abortion, but they see these as issues that bring white ethnic Catholics and ignorant born agains to the polls. What I find even funnier is the fact that xians and godless Jews from Eastern Europe (Israelis) have formed an alliance-while on the left godless liberals and "pious" muslims (palestinians) have made a bed together.
U must be the biggest murderrer if you support abortion clinics...Its pitty how you corrupt animals like u look for things to satisfy your own disgusting need. ..isn't it? What are you? u seem very insecure and empty.. don't u have no shame? what religion do u follow, if you have one..It will be much easier to beat u
From your profile, it would seem that you are a Brit of East Indian background that is Muslim. I can see why you would support the Palestininians, but I can't see how white liberals support the Palestinians.
magickmatt138 , Do you think catholic women wants show that they are wearing things and have abortions? You take pride is shameless acts and call it freedom?
Fidel Castro's Cuba(along with Venezuela) sent few 100k$ of help after the Katrina hurricane.
He helpred America when americans have not only never helped Cuba they actually did almost everything in their power to harm him in the last 40 years. Ofc there are injusticies in Cuba but do you think are no injusticies in US, UK, France or whenever alone the globe ? I mean ex- vicepresident of US signed petition AGAINST Nelson Mandela's release, and supported apartheid.
Turbans? your stupidity knows no bounds Andyrfc86. Wassim88, you're talking shit dude, sorry. The majority of women are raped in their own home by someone they know - stop blaming women, its the men who rape that are responsible for their actions not their victims.
so let me get this straight , you are trying to sat that the feedom to dress how you want is a problem because they are being hidden and that bombs are being hidden below their turbans , well that is funny cause the last time I checked catholics and protestants in Northern Ireland were bombing each other and they dont wear turbans. I dont support suicide bonbing but the Question you should ask is what would push someone to do something like that?

Very clever and entertaining. Oh yeah Gay men don't blow themselves up and kill children and innocent people. Western women don't get stoned for adultery. This is I think the most dangerous of all men, for he looks sounds like one of us.
but gay men give millions of people deadly diseases. If a suiside bomber is a walking bomb then the gay man could be a walking disease. Adulterers also have the same problem and other problems, and if you dont know that then you are too stupid to be watching this. Western women get assulted and raped for going out half naked in the streets.
