Thread Name: How to End Racism
Subject: RE: How to End Racism
Indeed, and...as i have said, just as the bible once expoused views that were represented in the various churches against womens rights, abortion, even homosexuality, the church has now progressed to a more civilized standing to meet the new modern day. Can the same be said of Islam? Walking in Bradford today and watching hundreds of Muslim wearing veils to cover themselves, i guess it has not.

These kinds of generalizations show your agenda to be what it really is... to spread intolerance and hatred toward one specific group of people.

The TRUTH is that there are still many Christian churches that have not progressed to the point that you think, in which women are still required to be subservient and submissive toward men, and are regarded as having been created entirely for the benefit of men. They are entitled to make this decision for themselves.

And there are many Muslims who are far more liberal than the stereotype you are spreading about them. There are many Muslim women who do not wear a veil or a hijab, and are not required to by the leaders of their congregations. On the other hand, many Muslim women who do wear them, do so because it enables them to feel liberated from the burden of being regarded as sex objects by men.
