It doesn't bother me, it amuses me.  I really don't understand your position of "should we accept this".  We? You and whose army? No one is asking you to accept it, or to approve of it, or do it, or really be anything in relation to it. You are asking about reasons pertaining to a group of people that are wholly alien to you. Your approval, or lack thereof, or indeed your desire to fight till the day you die, means nothing to the Muslim community. I honestly don't understand why you are bringing your personal feelings into it as if they matter to Muslims.  They don't.  If you fight and die tomorrow, it will make zero difference. Is it important to you as a woman and a feminist to treat women equally? Ok.  Treat women equally.  There is nothing you can do to force anyone else to become you. [/quote]

If this is your amused, I would hate to see you upset.

Let's recap:  this is a discussion, and you have popped up protesting the discussion, but don't really want to participate or debate.  And now you are saying "Muslims don't care what you think."  But obviously, if you are Muslim, you care what I think, because you keep responding.  You are simultaneously trying to distance yourself from the conversation and shut it down.  It's not going to work.

These issues are important to discuss.  It's a silly anonymous forum.  You don't have to participate.  And as a society, it is important that we figure out what parts of an ideology are acceptable and what are not.  Many Christians believe homosexuality is a sin, but the larger society has decided that's no longer acceptable.  It took a long time and a lot of work for our culture to reach the point where we decided that women are not objects or property and we're not even 100% there yet.  [/quote]
I'm not Muslim but I know the community really well. [b] There are many ways to participate in a discussion, and telling you when you say stupid things is one of them. [/b]  Your position is incredibly pompous and infused with a whole lotta importance where none can be had.

What do you mean, "as a society"?  Say you decide parts of Islam aren't acceptable?  Exactly how do you plan to go around and make your "decision" known? Islam doesn't care what you decide, and neither do Muslims. Do you think what you decide or don't decide means anything?   Yes, many Christians believe homosexuality is a sin, and the larger society can't do anything to change that.  The "larger society" has no power to stop making something a sin in people's minds simply because it doesn't deal in this currency. You can outlaw discrimination but you cannot change what people think in their hearts.   If some Muslim women decide to cover, what you think or decide on the position of women in society is utterly meaningless.  [/quote]

Actually, no, insulting people over and over is not a way to participate in a discussion, and you're getting repetitive anyway.  Since you know the Muslim community "really well," maybe you could recruit some people to help you with basic manners and civility.
