There are SOME more strict and backwards groups that have their women covered up and hidden away. But it would also be true to say that there are still some niche Christian groups that DO insist their women are covered "neck to toe" in "modest" clothing, just without the face and head covering. These groups aren't common but they exist. Likewise, modern Muslims who wear normal western clothing - both male and female - are far more common than the alternative. You just don't notice those Muslims because they "look like normal folks" and are not news worthy. Depending on where you live, you probably walk past hundreds of Muslims every day, but you'll only notice the ones that "stand out" as being not the norm. Don't assume that they are representative of the majority! Last edited by Toy Soldier; 20-05-2017 at 10:55 AM. |

It's been mentioned enough times for me to notice. I'd call out anyone who said the same thing.

As far as I am concerned people can believe in whatever they like ( it's just an idea at that stage nothing more) but if such beliefs in female inequality include the waving of a flag demonstrating such beliefs on a public street in a country where female equality is written into its laws it becomes a hate crime and should be treated as such. |

You said you had an issue with Roman Catholics... Well 62% of Slovakia ( the subject of the article in the OP) are Roman Catholic.
I'm presuming there's no call for a restriction of subsidy for that repressive religion, why would that be do you think?

I'll say it again, no religion should receive state subsidy's nor have any role in politics or education.

Islamophobic, and hate-crimes are made up words that don't mean anything? Careful, Alf.. A pattern is starting to emerge.

I'm not sure I'm seeing the connection. There's a difference between blasphamy and Islamophobia.

You have access to the internet Alf. You can Google this yourself.
Blasphemy is taking Gods name in vain (not specific to any religion) Islamophobia is the prejudice and hatred against a specific group of people They are not similar, they are not connected. They are not made up words with no real meaning either.

Stop jumping to conclusions Jaxie, nobody has suggested this, I'm having a convo with Alf because he was confused what the word meant. You can read this yourself. It would have taken 20 seconds.

I'm a non religious believer if you must categorise me... Not that should make one iota of difference when it comes to responding to a thread.
Someone mentioned shooting down opinions earlier... jeeze :/

Well yes they have, a forum member was accused of Islamophobic remarks by Kizzy.

Seems like an hysterical fear to me, it's not going to happen. People are becoming less religious over time, the idea of a state religion would likely be abolished long before it would become Islam.
