''Women should not travel more than 48 miles without a male escort''

Imbecilic! Trying to justify something that is wrong with something else that is wrong is as moronic as I can think of.

Your empathy for your fellow humans does you proud.

Im just pointing out how remote the chances of what you are saying is

Lool. So complaining on an internet fourm is doing something well done my friend ! I see a nobel prize coming your way

A) Old news
B) The MCB themselves have denounced it
C) Even if someone somewhere has said that Muslim women can't do x , honestly? It's not going to stop them.

Its a non story and tbh it just shows what the Telegraph has now become - a once worthy newspaper that has fallen from grace. Honestly, I expect better from.the Telegraph

Except you didn't show 'how remote' it is at all just went for the 'So what'

but do explain 'how remote' it is if that's your argument rather than 'So what'

Yeah but nothing serious is done, talking about it on here will not raise a voice in human rights court or parliment will it ?

You think muslims in the UK are at risk of death if they stop following Islam ?

as I explained to you, its a very remote possibility and not something that justifies the response by the media we have seen by a few muslims in blackburn

let the muslim bashing begin...
annoying

If a Muslim (or anyone else) asserts that the suffering of people outside their sphere of experience is something to be ignored, then bashed they shall be!

And rightly so!

Some may be. And Muslims elsewhere in the world definitely are at risk.
Do you not read the news at all?

I dan only assume that you consider the suffering of people outside the UK as someone else's problem.

Nice.

Im just pointing out how remote the chances of what you are saying is

This is about the right wing media in thr UK whipping up hatred

Not other countries. Yes suffering in other countries is the internal affairs of other countries

You just want a excuse to bash muslims on the basis of what blackburn muslim community group advised married women against traveling long distances alone

I'm glad that you have never expressed a political opinion without immediately going and acting it (otherwise you would be being hypocritical). Actually no, I'm not glad, it's sad for someone to be that politically disengaged. I especially hope you didn't vote today -- there's virtually no chance you'd have changed anything.

It is doing something

It is highlighting the stupidity of such opinions and making sure that those who would support such idiocy are not going to get their own way without a fight.

It also lets lots of people know and discuss that such idiocy exists in some communities(as in the case here)

There will also be some ridicule and mockery of the ideas that generate such stupidity as well which is always a good thing.

I wasnt trying to say so what

I was saying your fears are unjustified and its not a threat that deserves specific mention or media hype

The thoughts of an idealist I imagine.
People don't change their opinions unless they're willing to, putting up a fight means nothing unless its on a public forum, i.e. there are other viewers, which I very much doubt there are in this forum as viewers usually just read the main post and don't bother with the comments beyond page 1, or its in parliament, other than that, all internet arguments mean sod all.
