Look Opi,
If this discussion is too personal for you to discuss, then don't post really ignorant comments like I don't know what I'm talking about. While I can't say I'm offended (maybe more or less amused), I am a little confused as to whether you have knowledge of the issues here.
Perhaps you'd like to educate me as to what you believe are the real reasons behind the headscarf ban. I know my comments may seem offensive to you, however I never directed them to you so bite me.
Also, the reasons and facts I listed were not completely authored by myself. The BBC and its fine news reporting is where you should direct your anger and frustration. If you feel so strongly about your headscarf, then go over to Europe and protest with your fellow religous friends.
As for not growing up with oppressed muslim women who wear the headscarf, I think you are very lucky and blessed. You obviously live in America and share in the liberties and freedoms of all citizens. This is not the case in all other countries. I'm going to assume you did not grow up in a muslim country, but I may be mistaken. If you didn't grow up there, then that would clearly explain why you haven't witnessed this mistreatment of women.
Finally, your last attempt to edumacate me on Mary (either out of rage or personaly amusement
puzzles me a little. Are you trying to say something to me that I didn't know or maybe trying to get under my skin? From the sounds of it you might be trying to imply I'm christian and this would somehow offend me. Well sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not and it doesn't
Yours Truly,
