Get over yourself in thinking you have the right to tell me how to think. There is nothing untrue in anything I have said. You just blindly defend because it is PC to do so. No thought processes required.
Nobody says youre being PC when you fight against sexism? Is this your double standards again?
What it comes down to is you "having a strong dislike" for 23% of the world because of a handful of extremists. This is irrational hatred, and this is stupid.
Think of it any way you like, I'm not sure if you turned down or accepted the Islamophobic label, your posts were unclear, but I can assure you that in this thread alone, this is how you come across. History tells us that people just need a bit of education to stop unnecessary racism/sexism/homophobia. Draw the line, make the connection, and do a few google searches without your confirmation bias. Educate yourself on the 22.9999(recurring)% of the world that you slander on the daily.

There is nothing irrational about questioning sexist male attitudes and men that defend such attitudes.
Is is however pretty irrational to think that personal attacks will thwart such questioning. Most women are made of stronger stuff than that.

Because I happen to be one of the 50% they hate so much. Pretty relieved that as a woman I wasn't born in a Muslim country. There is an important principle at stake and the treatment of women by this religion should neither be ignored or defended.
I am surprised that you are surprised by that.
But they don't. The trouble is, you would have to live amongst them to understand just how wrong you are. I lived in the middle east. I worked with Muslims, I spoke their language, I cooked for and dined with Muslims and some of my long term dearest friends are Muslims. What I learnt is, most Muslims are no more religious than we are Christians. Whilst they are Muslim by name, many don't pray, go to the mosque or refrain from drinking alcohol and so on.
You can only recognise a Muslim woman by what she wears and yet you probably pass hundreds of Muslim women each day that don't wear hijab. They still consider themselves to be Muslim but have chosen not to wear a dress code because just like us Christians, religion doesn't play a big part in their life.
The one thing that struck me during my time there was how the men treasured the women and how the women ruled the home. I lived in Iran, a country where the religious police, mullah's and the revolutionary guards ruled over the land with an iron fist. I had many conversations with Muslim men who didn't want their wives, mothers and sisters to be so repressed and down trodden by their much hated repressive government.
I walked in their shoes and it didn't feel very religious at all. Most of them are just like you and me. Some bossed their husbands around whilst others were devoted couples but be sure of this, if a neighbourhood found a man was beating his wife, his sister or daughters, he would be ostracized and condemned by an entire community.

What is islamophobia - it is a dislike of a religious ideology that practices misogyny and that as good as enslaves women.
Yes I dislike, dissapprove and question that belief system - stick whatever label on that you will.
As a human being, especially as a woman, shouldn't you also dislike and question it?
Women havie been fighting the good fight against misogyny and sexism for decades in this country despite there not being much support from many men and it seems that even in this so-called 'enlightened' age thinks haven't changed as much as they should have.
Many people seem less interested in supporting female equality than they do in expressing their support of a backward thinking and repugnant misogynistic ideology like Islam. In my book that is double standards and quite worrying. :shrug:

If you say so, but neither do I as my opinions are based on reason, unless you are trying to say that the Muslim religion does not treat its women like second class citizens - that it is not a misoygistic religion and that any such belief that it is is untrue.
I have read plenty of accounts from Muslim women that say they are, not to mention what we see with our own eyes - to mention but a few.

That is an interesting post and one I have no doubt you completely feel. I can't help but wonder though if your experience is truly representative of the majority of Muslims coming to the West. It may well be. But I am scepticle based on what I see around me on an almost daily basis.
I see an increasing number of Muslim women wearing burkas on our streets and beaches and whether it is worn as the woman's choice (something I find questionable due to indoctrination) or a requirement by her family I think it is an offensive thing to do in a country where female equality is not only valued but written into our equality laws.
I strongly believe if you choose to live in a country you must integrate and respect its culture and laws which many of the Muslims I see do not do. Maybe the Muslims you speak of are in the majority but if that is the case my issues are with those that are not and I believe these Muslims should not be welcomed into the West.
I also feel that certain conditions should be enforced such as the banning of religious clothing or other practices that praise the subjugation of women in public. I'm sure if anyone else walked around in teeshirts etc with words/ logos blatantly offensive to Muslims, any other religious group or gays, it would be classed as a hate crime and not tolerated - but somehow when the equality of those being undermined are only women they are expected to put up with it.

Visiting foreign leaders occasionally address MPs and members of the House of Lords. To do so is considered a major honor by U.K. lawmakers, and has in recent years been offered to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
When Barack Obama visited in 2011, he addressed both houses in the 900-year-old Westminster Hall, considered an even higher honor. There had been speculation that Trump would be granted a similar honor, after May confirmed in Washington last month that the president had accepted an invitation to make a state visit to Britain later this year.
Bercow’s statement will come as an embarrassment to Prime Minister Theresa May, who has faced criticism for inviting Trump to make a state visit to the U.K. so early in his presidency.
“We value our relationship with the U.S.” Bercow told the House of Commons. “If a state visit takes place that is way beyond and above the pay grade of the speaker. However, as far as this place is concerned I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons.”
Who else has been so publicly refused?

"Speaking within Parliament is a rare honour, the highest honour we can offer.

What's the answer then. Don't let anyone in on a temporary visa?

Improved and rigorous vetting and monitoring - certainly more than they do currently as clearly not working.

Point being that some are getting their knickers all in a twist vilifying Trump and making him out to be the anti-Christ or something when other presidents were pretty much doing the same thing.
You may even say that perhaps Trump is being more honest about it.

young people are driven by the need to conform, can you imagine one saying that they did not "hate" Trump?
:laugh:
Very, very true. Young people are by nature sheep being herded into the right 'pen' by a more worldly-wise force.

Oh be quiet! They think they do and as an older woman you should know that. Life is one big learning curve and our opinions change with life experience.
Things that seemed black and white become more grey, lines become blurred etc. Young people are idealistic but life teaches them that not everything is as it seems.

How can people suggest that young people are like sheep when their own behaviour is so astoundingly sheepish?
