How can you know? No one has ever been able to produce any proof.

I've got a lot of experience of living amongst Muslims. I used to live in Iran and so had plenty opportunity of seeing a woman's rights with my own eyes.
There are countries where majority Muslims are extremely hard on their women but there are countries where majority Muslims are not at all hard on their women. We can't or shouldn't put out blanket statements that its "all" Muslims.

Are you suggesting the Christian and Islamist gods are two separate entities?

Lumping Islam in with other religions that have evolved to be inclusive of women... even if that inclusion isn't perfect yet... is offensive. But then. religious people are allowed to be targeted because people who don't believe can't understand them. |

Where religion doesn't interfere and gives comfort and attempts to modernise then it isn't an issue though I agree I do not particularly understand faith.

Again here we have the premise that if you are not religious you are a non believer which is totally wrong.

How is that an islamaphobic comment? Livia has a faith, she is speaking about the attitudes of non believers to those of faith. I think you owe her an apology.

The women in Iran don't have the same freedoms we have in the West because they have a religious government who put huge restrictions on women. Most Iranian women living in France and the UK don't cover or abide by all that religious bollocks inflicted on them by state rule in their own land and their husbands are happy for them to have that freedom. So what news organization is it? I follow Iranian news regularly for obvious reasons.

It is based on an assumption that non religious are also non believers, no apology is necessary.

But if it is more liberal than we think why did they arrest the young people who made the video to Pharrell Williams's "Happy"? It looks pretty harmless to me. Seems a bit strange. ![]() Posted because it's joyful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg5qdIxVcz8 Oh I'm not going to quote where my friend works without her permission, it's not really relevant beyond saying she works as a journalist for an Iranian news organisation.

You just assume that all Muslim husbands want their wives controlled because you have a cartoon character image in your head of over a billion people. Are you genuinely unaware that there are still plenty of Christian men who feel that the woman's place is in the home, etc etc? This was a pretty common view 50/60 years ago and a HUGE number of the older generation believe it to this day. The whole idea of "The Man Of The House" is far from gone from western mindsets. |

![]() I should also add I have nothing against individual Catholics, brown, green, purple or not, before you start implying.
