I am sick and tired of "Arabisms", the culture belongs to the museum. Just imagine what the skillful hands of a Persian carpet maker would have created if only allowed to also depict animals and humans in the motives. It would have been stunning. But Islamic doctrine prevented it from happening. The burka is fine if you choose freely to use it, but to make it a law for woman to get clad that way, oppressing. Yes, I do see a difference between woman that have to wrap themselves up in cloths by Muslim law and legislature, and the "Western-law" that prevents people to wear uniforms. Nobody tells me to wear a tie here, just an other extension of my dick...

Another view that folk often cite here in Australia is it's inappropriate for headscarves to be worn at schools as Muslim girls, like other children, should wear a uniform, (where there is designated uniform for a particular school) and that special rules shouldn't be made for them. But it is generally agreed it’s not all practical or sensible to have a prohibition, since if you ban a headscarf you might for consistency's sake have to ban a yarmulke or a turban, so that it all becomes very impractical. The forced wearing of the Hijab is a reflection of that culture of that country and a not the Islamic faith itself which as far as I can understand from scholars makes no such demands. Those wearing the hijab wish to do so freely, in effect the exemply an inner character and faith.

That is just a damn shame. For me, when lives are on the line, all religion, beliefs and principles go right out the window.

And if you hate democracy so much why not move to Saudi Arabia. It is amazing that so many people spend so much time worrying about what other people wear or how they do their makeup. Just chill out and do your own thing. Man that is some horrible shit that went down in Saudi Arabia. I keep hearing how these Islamic extremist governments are just misunderstood and not as bad as all that. Are you kidding me? That story is a perfect example of how extremism in any religion is so not a good idea. To allow the death of children just because they are female and not wearing the proper attire is just ludicrous. I can do without that kind of government thank you very much. The funny thing about today's youth is they seem to get that our government is flawed but they don't bother to learn why and figure out how to change it. It's a problem for someone else to fix right? With that attitude nothing will change. Or rather everything will change. Our government has been moving slowly but surely from a representative democracy to a cross between communism and fascism. And its going to happen because no one cares about keeping the government in check anymore and they know it. Free choice and anarchy are a far cry from each other i think.
