[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ME Forum would not be my favorite source but the article puts together the statistics with links to the sources, which are good.  The statistics tell a story that refutes the position put forward by an earlier PP that no hijab in the West = high rates of STDs relative to hijab countries.

This is simply not true.  I find it interesting that you and PP have sidestepped completely these stats in your responses.  I am not assuming things to fit my narrative--I am offering data that throws into doubt the narrative put forward by a hijab promoter.[/quote]
She's not a hijab promoter. She is telling you why it works for some people. You are tying yourself in knots trying to get her to admit that it shouldn't work for anyone.  I don't get why it is so momentously difficult for you to accept that people value different things and think differently from you.[/quote]

Tying in knots = accidental pun.  The truth is that this thread is full of people trying to convince others that the hijab is neither widely imposed against women who don't want it nor a repressive tool. That's a hard sell.

Think it'll work? Don't count on it.[/quote]
I think this thread is full of people who had their opinions cast in stone before they started it. No one is here to enlighten or to learn.  On either side of the argument.[/quote]

Well that's true.[/quote]

I think certain people here loathe any criticism of Islamic practices no matter how respectful.  I have learned a lot from this thread that I did not know.  A lot of educated people have posted very thoughtful posts on this thread, just because you don't like their conclusions does not mean everyone's opinion was "cast in stone."[/quote]
