I find it ironic that islamic women talk about being a preference - in western countries, where Islam is the minority - while women are chastised for removing them in Islamic dominated countries. Don't they see the contradiction here?
Everyone knows that this is about scholastic thought vs. secularism. Everyone knows it. No one realy cares about modesty in our century. And the issue of chastity is an anthropological phenomenon. Some sort of superstition I would say. If chastity is broken (whatever that may mean) everyone has to die. That’s the unfortunate situation of a whole geographical region where monarchs / dictators and clerics cleverly use religion as a mean of promoting their own personal power over the population. So they see no problem in distorting religion itself and in keeping their population completely ignorant about the real facts of the Islamic religion. It is a situation that is similar to Christianity in Europe before the renaissance and the reforms of Persons like Luther etc.
One more reason for the free world to free itself as soon as possible from its dependence on Middle Eastern oil and Gas supplies and turn itself to cleaner energy sources including nuclear energy.
