Freedom from Sanity
That was an erroneous inference on my part, my apologies. Would you have answered the question if I had said "people" instead?Did I say specifically men?
This is what I find so immensely frustrating about debating these culture war issues on this forum - all this talk in vague and oblique allusions with nothing concrete to hold onto, no clear reference as to what the heck anybody is talking about.Because many of them are reluctant to acknowledge the Quran has many horribly violent passages and teachings just like they Bible, they are terrified of being labeled "Islamophobe" (and, indeed, people who are Muslim and who did come here fleeing for their lives have been labeled Islamaphobe for criticizing the cultural norms and practices that prompted them to flee in the first place), because the Loony Left has created a double standard where it's year-round open season on criticizing all things Christian but Muslims are off limits.
Like... just who are these "they" you are alluding to? All Muslims? Only Muslims living in Western countries? A specific undefined subset of these Muslims that we have, so far, failed to properly define or delineate?
And where have you lived in these past two decades to come to the conclusion that it's somehow not incredibly popular in Western societies to criticize, mock, harass, or even outright attack Muslims both verbally and physically? Can you name a single Western country where criticism of Muslim is factually and provably "off limits" in any shape or form? Or is this one of those "free speech" issues where certain people frequently appear to think "free speech" means "freedom from criticism", and expecting to never be called out on the opinions they voice in public or private?
Do you consider that a good thing?And, yes, many governments around the world have banned them. Including some Muslim majority states.
This response has me genuinely confused about your position on the issue. Do you support burqa bans in Western countries or not?That is where I am getting at they do not respect our ways. They come here and expect us to be ok with them fining women and forcing them to stay at home because you can see some of her flesh.
Being fined and forced to home IS repression. It IS taking away freedom and choice, and IS relegating women to less than fully entitled citizens.
