For me, if the women are dressed in burqas and Hijabs, then the odds are much higher that they are among the radical members. This is the point I keep trying to drive home.
Do you seriously believe that a woman who makes an informed, educated choice to wear a hijab or burqa regularly, while out in public,without being forced in any way is either radical or extreme or 'faulty' in some way or has some insidious schemings afoot?

do you not think that by alienating islam you simply rally more of the muslims towards extremism. i see alot of younger muslim or asian teenagers acting in inapriopriot manor and being vandals but i also see white caucasion youths doing the same thing. its kind of obvious that if society as a whole rejects muslims and subjects them to alienation they will want to fight back against supresion.
christians complaining of islams evil and decietfull ways will do well to remember the slaughters of the holy war and the crusade where, christianity as a whole decided god wanted them to go and kill all the muslims for being different. yet one of their most cherrished beliefs is love thy neighbour and not to kill. hypocrysy much??
furthermore do u think the majority of muslims in afganistan and such want a warezone on their front doors. of course not
i do share but one concern with the propaganda and that is the average muslim family does make alot more babies than a caucasion white one. and i cant help but feel that religeon of any sort is problematic towards societies progress. at least unflexible ones like christianity with the whole denying evolution malarky.
every major discovery of science has had to endure untolerable critique by religeous parties when it contradicts their belief system. it does frustrate me greatly.
by no means do i disklike islam or christianity because of their belief system, but why on earth would a god want you to do the things writen in the holly books, what difference would going to a church make. i mean does god need an ego boost or somthing?

The purpose of this thread was supposed to try and stop the bigotry and hate that not understanding a religion can cause.
Bigotry doesn't solve anything. The only thing it does accomplish is to further the agenda of the PTB to keep us scared therefore willing to let them take away more freedoms from us.
