[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is only a thread in a local region.

But the issue we're discussing is huge.

Our western children and their children will remember our generation as the gutless wonders who allowed the west to get destroyed. 
We allowed shadowy power brokers - folks we don't even know who they are - to tell us that they're going to destroy our Judeo-Christian world, whether we like the idea or not. These shadowy figures consider themselves our overlords.[/quote]

I am just as “Western” as anyone could be but I am NOT Judeo-Christian. Sorry to inform you that Europe has much more Pagan history than Christian. Just admit that you are the same as the Taliban but you just have a different religion.[/quote]

I’m sorry, are Christian women hidden under burkas, prevented from getting an education, killed for dating without their father’s permission?  You think these two religions are the same thing?[/quote]

Lot of Muslim female doctors in the UK that don’t wear burkas and date who they want. There are 1 billion Muslims
And they don’t act the same The education thing is a stereotype as Muslim women outnumber men in universities throughout the Middle East. It’s the same trend as here in the West.

I believe some on the right want to put Christian women in burkas and want to
Restrict their daughters to arranged marriage only because I’ve heard it[/quote]

You heard some on the right want to put Christian women in burkas? How many times?[/quote]

NP. I grew up in a Christian sect that mandated skirts to mid-calf and elbows covered for all females, including young girls. We did not cut our hair, marriages were more or less arranged within the community, and there were exactly two colleges we were allowed to attend as girls.

The functional difference between the "modest" attire I grew up with and a burqa is negligible. [/quote]

That is highly unusual and has no basis in the general Christian faith. That was something your leaders cooked up.[/quote]

You don't even have to drive an hour outside dc to see Christian women wearing modest clothing. Ever been to the amish markets in St. Mary's county?[/quote]

The people that think Christianity doesn’t have fundamentalism or extremism toward women are younger or maybe don’t have extreme Catholics or Evangelicals in their family .

My mil is from Malta and Sicily and in her time women used to wear black head scarves. I think it’s called ghonella. 
Marriages were arranged and women stayed home till wedding night and  if they weren’t virgins and didn’t produce a blood stained sheet, they would be placed on a donkey back to their parents house in shame where brothers and parents would blame the girl for shaming the family.  Delitto d’honore were a man can kill a woman (sister; daughter, wife) for infidelity were rare but did happen. I think the Brit royals practiced the arranged marriage and Virgin only part up till Diana in the 1980’s.

The difference btwn Christian right and Islamic right for women anyway  isn’t  as wide as people think.

Anybody who thinks a mandatory head covering, mandatory marriage  after 18 to live outside of parents, and rights over a woman’s body isn’t something
 that happen in the Western world from Christians isn’t paying attention . Some of the GOP’s plans are as strict as Sharia law[/quote]
