More destruction of historical statues and monuments

It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

Hijab is just a head scarf.

As in literally. Niqab is the face mask and clothes. Burqa is the blue garment with only eye-holes effectively. They're not all the same.

The Confederate statues were intended to continue the work of Lost Cause scholarship and mythologize lies and fantasies about the South to appease future generations' sense of morality. Clearly it worked but lol @ this national discussion about the meaning of the statues as if it's actually up for debate. There's recognizing truth and blinding yourself to it here, not many sides.

the debate largely was about censorship, honestly. and now it's become about oppressing muslims in the name of freedom, because i made the mistake of trying to equate the hijab issue with the statue issue. :P

no harm there. you shouldn't feel obligated to read or post to things you're not interested in.

The point is that society sets standards of dress. To claim in any way that setting a dress standard is somehow a greater restriction than condoning the abuse and oppression of women is absurd. By allowing the hijab, you are assisting the abuse, rather than standing against it.
if you want a mandatory dress code to be enforced for the nation, that's your call. i'm opposed to that. we live in a country where women are free. if you want to stand against abuse and oppression, support the things that we have in place to protect all women in this country. don't make a restriction, specific to muslim women because it suits your agenda.
Do you think a man should be able to walk around with his dick out in public

I don't support no-Muslim women to be forced into a situation where they must wear hijabs either.

Good for you, you're a better poster than me. Doesn't explain your desperate reliance on strawman arguments though...

Oh for the love of Christ... :lol: :lol: :lol:

You should heed your own advice occasionally. You won't look as ridiculous trying to make this point next time...

Means nothing if you read a post, don't soak in any information from it and respond with irrelevant nonsense for the sake of misdirection. That seems to be your MO lately. Based on my avoidance of one 11 page thread about shit we've already discussed, you want to make some overarching judgment of my character. This is almost as hilariously misguided as the time you tried to suggest I complain about politics too much. The lady doth protest waaaaaay too much, buddy. Yuuuuuge projection.
