FFS
There is no requirement imposed by the school for any student, male or female, to cover their head. The dress requirement - long pants and long sleeves - is for all students. If you don’t want your child to go on this trip, then opt out. People opt out of field trips all the time for various reasons. Go for it. |
It’s not a fact. |
First, the Quaran does not mandate the hijab. Commentaries suggest women after puberty should be veiled. But the Quaran also suggests the a girl could attain puberty and be ready for marriage at 9, so in practice young girls are forced to veil. |
Groups I am not required to be respectful and tolerant of: nazis, white nationalists, muslims, catholics and other oppressive religious regimes that control and subjugate women, insurrectionists and similar. If you abuse and subjugate women or other groups you don't get my respect or civility. Your defense is an age old defense of the indefensible. |
This is such an interesting response. The field trip in question provides students with the opportunity to learn about people different than themselves. Perhaps you would benefit from this opportunity. I’m a Catholic woman. You say you won’t respect or tolerate me because of my beliefs. Do you know what they are? Have you spoken to me? My neighbor is Muslim. I *have* spoken to him and have great respect for him and his family. Sometimes the unknown is something to fear. Our world is a better place when we put our judgments and misconceptions aside. (Also… Nazis? Do you live near any? Such an interesting, trollish list…) |
Fair point. |
You may be a great person with reasonable beliefs. The group that you are a part of engaged in widespread pedophilia and the coverup of widespread pedophilia. To me at least, that alone is enough to dismiss a group, but I'm sure PP has other reasons as well |
Lol leave it to DCUM to turn Muslim bashing into Catholic bashing. You’re as predictable as the sun rising in the morning! |
Not sure it's reasonable to say all Muslims control and subjugate women. And surely some Jews do the same. Do you object to the trip to the synagogue, too? |
If are not aware of the rise of antisemitism and open nazi marches and groups then you forfeit your right to lecture anyone else on learning about the world around them. What exactly do you think chants of "Jews will not replace us" mean? I know a great deal about the Catholic church. I know they spent decades protecting pedophile priests and putting at risk parishioners. I women aren't qualified to be priests. I know you think birth control is a sin (which is a way to control women), I know you believe in a man in the sky that controls everything, I know the carnage and war that has been waged in the name of the catholic church and your god. I don't have an obligation to listen to a childish fiction story and watch the terror it wrought and say, "that seems reasonable." Before you hop on your cross, I could do the same for all major religions. |
The base of the religion (like many others) absolutely seeks to subjugate and control women. Not all Nazis want to kill all jews and blacks. Some just want them kept in their place. Are you suggesting I can't condemn people who go to their meetings, give them money and support them? P.S. Love your childish "whataboutism". Do you wanna go blow for blow and compare clitectomies to pedophile priests to the horrors wrought by all religions. Jews too, since you seem to think I think that's any different; no women rabbis for the orthodox and no problem with teen brides in that community. |
I hear you, but no one is forcing those views onto women (or at least not in this country). They choose to participate and believe what they believe. I think your view of religion is very narrow. You can't go on hating the majority of the world. And I'm not even part of any religion but can recognize that there are a lot of good things that come out of it too. |
I just love the dog eating it’s own tail idiocracy of using my passport to prove my identity-because you know what I used to get that passport? The license they now say isn’t good enough to prove my identity.
Doh. |
You have lost your ever-loving mind. Despicable, unthinking person, you are. |
Obviously you know nothing about Catholicism. Man in the sky indeed, lol! Are you in kindergarten? |
