Your mum as well (I'm assuming she's a muslim)...? I don't direct my resentment at the entire muslim populace, just the sheikhs and the clerics. And the wars and invasions.
Yeah she never really wore it when I was a kid and she's muslim
Nor do I
It just shows how the right wording and fear mongering can change the beliefs of millions
2 comments one asking what has changed in 50 years and another saying what they thought had happened.
Not everything is islamophobia or does islamophobia include all criticism?
No. I welcome genuine questions about Islam and the muslim world. I'm somewhat well equipped and I could do it for a living.
If I need to spell it out for you that OP was LOOKING for a fight then that's a conversation that I'd rather not have. Plenty more productive things to do with my time.
What is concerning is how you're passionately defending the OP's islamophobia after I've clearly demonstrated to you how he was looking to incite hatred. By the number of gems you have, it becomes even more apparent that you know how TSR works and you KNOW that this thread will end in islamophobes joining in speaking about the ins and outs of Islam. So why act so dumb?
Well, according to Google, to civilise means to "bring (a place or people) to a stage of social development considered to be more advanced." So I'm going to ask again, what is uncivilised about covering yourself, rather than showing your legs and cleavage?
Clue's in the word 'advanced' mate
Maybe I should walk around in a long cardboard box with just two holes for my eyes because that's just as civilised as wearing a dress

I know that people who start calling out something as islamophobic before anything truly islamophobic has been said is stifling the discussion, if you want a discussion over something don't start by saying this is islamophobic otherwise only people who are truly islamophobic will post as people will not want to be associated with it.
If you are not joking then yes I agree. But obviously the wars have torn it apart. Yet people over there are happy. Although they are poor (there are rich also but you know coz of war..poor more).
Women have tonnes of rights in Islam.. the right to be worth half of a male. The right not to drive. The right to be chauffered by a male relative when entering society. The right to have sex when their husband commands them too.
They can drive that rule only exists in Saudia Arabia
If you define intelligence as simply wanting to wear or preferring revealing clothes such as some of those in the OP then your standards are pretty low.
The ability to challenge preconceived ideas is strong sign of intelligence to me.
I could ask you to prove that god exists and that he really told women to wear burqas, but I don't want to embarrass you.
I wish more politicians would have the courage to take a stand against Islam
They may not say it directly but they surely do have a problem with it and probs fear that it will spread more so there is the media to make it look as negative as possible.
But good luck with getting rid of it...sorry but truth will remain. And if it false then surely it will fade away.
It actually says in the quran that women are worth the same as men. They are equal but have different roles in society, and can be seen in our bodies. Men are designed to work long rough hours, as opposed to women. Another interesting fact is that in the US suicide rates are higher than ever at around 7% and divorce at over 25%. On the other hand, in Islamic countries these are almost zero. Feel free to search and validate these facts online.

You can't say that when you have no experience of living in Afghanistan on a long-term basis. No one would be happy living in a poor, unstable country with an Islamist insurgency.
Afghanistan is ranked one of the most unhappiest countries in the world (6th) along with Syria and some other East African countries. The Taliban have just launched a spring offensive which has killed and injured hundreds of people.
Afghanistan is the second largest source of refugees in the world. If they were truly happy they wouldn't risk their lives fleeing to foreign countries where they're treated like crap.
