Any idea why this is happening? I happened to see an interview of the granddaughter of Hitler's financial minister who is apparently leading a party in Germany, not sure about that but apparently her position is that nuns that wear headscarf can do it but Muslims can't.
What is going on? Like most of you already know I don't live anywhere near where this anti Muslim sentiments are growing but I am curious as to why this is happening
Really?
Um being anti oppression is not the same as being a bigot.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali grew up in the Islamic part of the world, and was a former Muslim. She'd be happy to explain to you why this is a shitty argument.
Secondly, Islam does not own a patent on gender role clothing. Christianity even in America today, still has sexist clothing. Catholic Nuns in many conservative sects are still required to wear Habbits and have their heads and necks covered. The rural LDS mormons also have very sexist clothing like the sect child bride advocate Warren Jeffs now in jail for child molestation.
Even in Sikhs and Hindus depending on sect or individual family put the purity of the female and honor of the family on the female instead of blaming the men if the girl/female is assaulted.
It is NOT a matter of being a bigot to point out that another human being has the right to their own decision making, including that of clothing.
I am for freedom of religion, I am for human rights, but that does not mean every idea a person buys or sells is one of equality. Burka's are not a promotion of equality, but a religiously justified symbol of male sexism.
Remember your shitty argument because Ayaan still lives under threat of death, and had her documentary film maker friend stabbed to death over a documentary exposing the treatment of females. The knife was stuck in his chest with a message to her saying, "You're next".
I think you need to worry about her rights and not coddle the insecurity of religiously justified sexism. Nobody is out to ban any religion, for standing up for human rights.
