I think going back to your previous would help you see why your bigotted comments might offend someone. Here is a fine example of you devaluing the symbolism of the Hijab. Now, reading your other posts..I see that you said that you were only talking about those countries that do oppress their women and muslim men who bla bla bla..but dear, your initial statement does not state that you were talking about a select few. 90% of your following posts were superficialand only attempting to paint me as having a faulty logic, having irrational conclusions and lacking no COMMON SENSE...when in fact, that you are the one who did not make yourself clear and painted yourself as an ignorant bigot.

However, for the sake of argument, asssuming this is a pure religous symbol and it is discriminating this one group, I would still support a ban on headscarves because it is not being used for religious purposes in school, but rather to provoke and pressure other religious groups.

again ignorant comment

In school, the headscarf is a tool used by extremists and fundamentalists to threaten jewish and catholic groups. Any religious meaning behind wearing the headscarf has been lost or abused by the few bad apples in this orchard. [/B]

in school only? you mean that muslim women wear the hijab just to school .....
to scare catholic and jewish groups . Really, honestly..you are talking about me being irrational here ...but just have a look at the comments you throw around.
RUGreek, trust, I am quite vocal about women's issues ..especially when it comes to Islam. Your comment would be seen as ignorant, if not derogatory or bigotted by other muslims. You give way too much credit to fundamentalists and Extremist, and play into the fact that it represents such a large portion of our population. I would suggest that you stop reading propoganda and go "edumucate" yourself before you run at the mouth. BTW, there is no such thing as "islamics"..lol..you just bought into another one of those CNN creations. I have not been "victimized" for my religious affiliations, again an attempt to belittle me and make your opinions much more superior than mine, and its really not working. And before you make yourself sound more ignorant than you already are....I did grow up in two muslim countries...and two secular countries. Like I said, I am a bit of both worlds..quite literally.
