I am not surprised that you still consider my posts bigotted, but you have a right to that opinion of course. I tried my best to explain things clearly and slowly for you, but you still choose to write back with immature statements.

My posts connect perfectly with the news article's regarding the headscarf ban. The reasons they decided to ban them are the same reasons I stated. You obviously do not agree with them, but still do not offer a different point of view. Instead, you would prefer to attack my statements so that you don't have to come up with a better explanation.

I even explained why you were wrong with interpreting my post, and you don't even have the guts to reply to them but instead go back to my original post and just call it "an ignorant comment." Well at least I know how to reply to someone, which is more than I can say about you right now

The headscarf ban only applies in school to the teachers, therefore you should limit your attacks to that area. Nobody is banning them outside of school, so don't get your panties in a bunch... You can still do whatever you want on the streets.


Again, would you like to tell me which middle easter muslim country you lived in and for what period of time in your life? You seem to be avoiding to answer anything I say clearly. Now it sounds like you lived in 4 separate countries, so which ones are they?

lol@RUGreek.

Your posts are bigotted. But you know, you can believe that they dont have the right to offend anyone...if it helps you sleep better at night.

I will limit my attacks to the original topic, only if you limit your derogatory comment, 'k.


as to the countries I resided in are confidential information. You can PM if you like to find them out, but I choose not to post that personal information, 'k.

I understand and can respect that if you don't want to disclose.

I sleep fine at night, the last thing on my mind (and hopefully on yours) is the random threads that people post on an internet chat board...

Hey, at least I got you laughing, so we are both amused at this ridiculous bickering

Attack me if you like, but I can't walk on eggshells with everyone when they are oversensitive to greek chat comments. So I can't promise that things I say won't offend you in the future, but I can warn you to ask questions before ranting and making a fool out of yourself again.

mkay?

off topic, if you're in bed with a guy, does talking dirty offend you too?

(ok, maybe that was pressing some buttons, but I still think you need to chill out)

Let's look at it this way:

How do you know that the girls under 18, especially very young girls, are wearing hijabs out of CHOICE? I don't think an 8 year old can tell her parents that she doesn't want to wear one because she just plain doesn't want to all the time. If her parents say that all women in the family must wear a hijab, then she probably has to wear it until she's out of the house. I know that I wasn't allowed to quit piano when I was 8. My grandmother picked out my clothes every morning until I was 10! And the clothes she picked were awful, because she wouldn't let me wear skirts and dresses to school except for picture day, days when the school went to Mass, and Remembrance Day and Thinking Day, when I wore my Brownie or Girl Guide uniform.

Anyways...http://www.soundvision.com/Info/news/hijab/disc.asp


Hijab Battles
Around the World
by Pamela Taylor

Tayyibah, St. Paul Minnesota. Fatima, Creil, France. Samira, Algiers, Algeria. What do these women have in common? They are all Muslim, and they've all had a run-in with the law.

Their crimes, you ask? Wearing Hijab, or the Islamic head scarf. Worldwide there seems to be a growing consensus that a few yards of cloth on a woman's head, especially if it covers part or all of her face, is a threat to education, women's rights, public security and even to freedom of religion itself.

A 15-year-old French Muslim girl has beaten the ban on Islamic headscarves in schools by shaving her head.
