Same with the rape murder and religious intolerance also displayed.

Now, do you believe that the simplified, shortened text behind these bullets match with your perception of what I wrote initially?

Women resent dressing up like 'sexy dolls' and the imam is justified in saying that a portion of the population is tempted to rape them.
Thank you for your assistance. That is most certainly not what I wanted to convey, and frankly I'm flabbergasted how you got to that conclusion.
But if you misread / misinterpreted my posting, probably most did. Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker?
I will rephrase what I meant to say, make it shorter, put some bullets in front of it, often this helps if the elaborate version proves to be incomprehensible.
My opinion was (and is) that..
- the Imam was partially right when he said that people are still very much driven by their basic instincts;
- large groups of men say that women that dress up "like whores" deserve to be raped, including males from the Western world;
- that my view here is simple: that we have Laws and the Law should be upheld. Rape is illegal here and hence anybody that rapes anybody else can be (and should be) prosecuted.
- that the freedom of women to dress as they like is severly limited by the cultural image we all created on how women SHOULD dress - regardless if you're in the West or in the ME.

He is also right if he points out that a large group of (mostly men..) thinks that women should not dress up like whores and if they do they deserve being raped.
So if a woman dresses 'like a whore' it means they are fair game for scumbag rapists and their pathetic, weak-minded apologists?
You are just as much of the problem.
Either you haven't read what I posted or you twist it. Re-read my post: it's quite clear what I think about rape. It's against the Law - and the Law should be upheld. Period.

Yes, that is why we don't rape people, because it is against the law.......
That doesn't change the fact that these muslims clearly think rape is ok.
And here you are again making excuses.

Point one, in the west the proportion of men holding that view is a tiny, despised minority.
Point two, don't you bloody dare trying to tar us with that brush. Not one of my mates would think that was remotely accurate. I'd suggest the numbers are small enough to be on the minority, deviant edge of the spectrum. Unlike these groups of migrants.
Point three, right on, and sexual harassment also.
Point four, that's a load of tripe and nothing to do with this at all, women can dress as they please in the west, whether they choose baggy combats or mini skirts. It's no one's business except theirs. Just the same as when I decide between jeans and a leather, or a Harris tweed jacket and tattersalls check shirt.

I'm not sure what the firm "no" at the start of your reply signifies. It can be read as "No, your messages do NOT match - you have changed the meaning of your message" or "No, you have not changed the meaning of your message". Perhaps you'd care to clarify?
About the fourth bullet: you actually confirm my point. Women are NOT free to dress as they like (actually: men aren't either) as they need to have "professional attire". This means that you have certain expectations. Say a lady would walk in stark naked, would that be a professional attire? If not, WHY not?

originally posted by: AugustusMasonicusCouple my response to your question that I quoted and it was the former if you want to continue to be purposefully obtuse.
Is a man showing up for work naked 'professional attire'?

Indeed - what do you think, is it? If not, why not?
Even the most civilised person can not change the fact that under that very thin layer we call "civilisation" ihe or she is still an animal. Yes, he and she - as animalistic behaviour is not limited to men. "Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorn'd". You say it's a minority - no, it is not. We all have these animalistic tendencies and they are VERY strong. If you don't believe me, just check out this thread, in which people are simply shutting down their intelligence, do away with civilisation and start drooling out insults that address entire groups, guilty or not, in words that read like angry growls and howls of hungry wolves. So, it's not a minority, and it aren't just men. We are all animals, believe me.
I can't change facts, and it's a fact it still is being said by many. Even today, even by so-called "civilised" people. So, it's not unique to Muslim people or people from the ME.
The Law is the Law.
ANY culture has written and unwritten rules on how to dress for what occasion. Even in my "civilised" country (The Netherlands) before the 1960s you weren't allowed to wear jeans to school. Women weren't allowed to wear trousers if they worked in an office. Bikini's were frowned upon. Likewise, in some ME countries, men and women have to adhere to dressing codes. We may feel they are strange or even disgraceful, but as long as these people wear their clothes voluntarily, it's allright with me, again: all within the limits of the Law.
You just switched off your intelligence and turned into an animal. You now claw at anything that moves. "These Muslims" do not exist
