What I said wasn't about muslims, it was about countries who repress their women on a large scale. It is sadly impossible to speak about this without including muslim countries because that is where it's at and the two countries I mentioned aren't the only ones. That doesn't mean it should be something we don't talk about. Everyone who commented on my post completely missed the mention of China in their rush to defend muslims. This happens every t8ime this subject comes up and frankly it scares me that people are so blind and accepting because it's faith related oppression of women.

My response wasn't actually to you Jaxie. I did read your post but because you wrote about Iranian baby girls being murdered, I felt I couldn't answer you directly.... I was responding to the posts that followed yours.
The Muslim/Chinese/Iranian women is a digression from the topic.
...Its like this... A few years back I was part of a protest to stop farm animals and horses being transported to abattoirs overseas, on the hoof.
You could point a finger at me and say, "If I can protest to stop animals being transported live, why don't I protest to stop cruelty that often goes on in Hahal abattoirs?
The answer is, I've done that too but they were two different protests and so two different discussions. |
