Why do so many threads get turned back towards Muslims? its like an obsession.
I respect you and like you Red but you aren't getting the point of what I said I think. You just cherry picked muslims from the whole.

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.
