So Much for The "Moderates"

[robvalue]

A moderate is someone who ignores their own holy book almost as much as all the others.

Every niquab and hijab is an open aggression against my values. Noone seems to care though.

I really don't know why. I support France's ban, but... The hijab is just a piece of clothing you wear around your head and it's not necessarily Islam related. I don't really think it is an aggression. I'm more worried about terrorist attacks than women covering their heards

Well, guess what: I feel insulted by the way their religion handles women rights. I don't think they are going to apologize for that if we were to go on the street here. Let alone change it.

It is funny how many of those people say we are pushing our "western ways" upon them, yet they do exactly the same thing. Expecting us to change our ways for their silly religion is exactly the same.

But of course, as religious people they have more rights to be insulted.

Agreed. Both xianity and islam are hideously, blatantly women-suppressing religions. Utterly sexist. To deny that the bible and quran do this is to be a completely dishonest arse hole. Of course moderates will dance around this with any number of feeble excuses as to why they know better than the word of god, and how you can "interpret" it by crossing it out and writing something else. In your mind of course, but never in the book. So the problem continues.

All believers cherry-pick their holy text in order to find the verses which support the views that they already hold.
