Subject: RE: How to End Racism
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.

Care to mention of these Christian Churches? Though i dare say there are a few no doubt about it, however, on the scale of comparison to islam, it is insignificant.

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. They are entitled to make this decision for themselves.

I know, there are indeed many Muslim women who choose, or are lucky enough to not have to wear veils, however, in western society, whatever a womans choice, it is not punishable by having acid thrown on your face or being stoned to death!
