It is a cultural choice for SOME women. But there are muslim countries where women will be shot on sight if caught without the whole Hijab. Another good thing to look to would be how many women no longer wear these leashes (lets face it, thats what they are) in Iraq now that they are occupied by the US, or how many choose to no longer wear it after migrating to western countries.
I agree with you here for the most part. Also you should look at how many women didn't wear it, then converted to islam and started to wear it. I'm not saying they are a majority, just pointing out that it can go both ways.
And you seem to have selective memory. Now, yes a lot of muslims hate Jews, as you indirectly agreed with by justifying it by saying other religions hate Jews also, and other religions hate muslims. Despite the fact that you said this, which is what my statement was a reference to.
Which supports my point that religion itself isn't the problem. You can't blame a gun for someone shooting it.
Speaking of ignorance, you putting words in my mouth is starting to really piss me off. I never said Muslims were the only intolerant religion. In many cases, the religion itself is far more embracing of others than most religions out there. YOU said that they are not intolerant, when that is a bold-faced lie. The most intolerant religion is most definitely Christianity, but Islam is not too far from it.
First off, that wasn't really directed at you, I was mainly talking about nutmans post. And at the same time understand that he was just trying to make a point.... but w/e.And I wouldn't really say that Christianity is the most intolerant religion. I think it's just really how you interpret the religion. I work with really hardcore christians, who are some of the nicest people i know. My whole point is that I don't think religion itself has anything to do with tolerance. I think it's the people and the people only.
