Why does it feel like society keeps moving backwards with stupid sheet like this?
Like these ignorant savages are stuck in the dark ages.

And yes. That is an attack, not just on their religion, but all religion.

I don't think Air France stewardesses strap on TNT, either, last time I checked.

I don't hate Christianity.
I like to balance things up, for perspective.
I'm just pointing out (in a thread about women/head scarves/Middle East) that the Christians have their own (Iron-Age) woman with a headscarf that they see as holy.

Okay, Hov, muh man,, you've found something that is current or ancient? How is what Christians did 2,000 years ago relevant to Now, unless you are using it to demonstrate that Christians don't demand such and Christians don't murder their own daughters should they be raped?
Old Testament? You're wanting to drag that into a Right Now, it's Really happening, thing?
When was the last time you heard about a group of Christians throwing a queer off the roof?

Your great grampa kicked my great grampa in the nads, so, now you gonna die? How do people cheat and then run off, cheering and celebrating the Great Victory?
Yeah, you can Call it
Perspective, but it's not. It's a screwed up attempt at justifying bad behavior.


Like the never ending partisan blame game. A bub or dem gets caught doing something wrong and the Zero Character, Zero Honesty crowd try to make it Not wrong, because someone from the other party did something just as bad or worse, just minutes before.

Everyone needs to Quit believing that the Other guy being a criminal makes Their criminal Not a criminal.
If you're in a line of ten cars, everyone doing twenty miles per hour over the limit and the cop only gets you, what then?
Answer that,
Anyone who says
That's not Fair
Is a gutless pansy.
They didn't get in trouble!
Well, Boo Hoo,,  

Were YOU speeding?
Yep, sit down, shut up, and take the ticket.
You Earned it.

"The West" goes into a foreign land, kills muslim natives, gets access to mineral resources.
Even better, the West creates a divide in the region and sells arms to both parties.
It lets them sort it out for themselves, ie kill each other.
If this doesn't work, they'll get a taste of "Freedom" with 'boots on the ground'.
That's the only crusade I'll mention because that is the way many muslims see it, and so 'react' to it.
Many muslims seem to believe that they are fighting-back rather than being the aggressors.

....and here is the crux of the matter. You think Islamic terrorist are justified in their actions because your moral compass is totally screwed up. Anyone who says the West "goes into a foreign land, kills muslim natives, gets access to mineral resources" is demonstratively both wrong and incapable of perspective. Where are all these 'mineral resources' by the way? What land did 'we go into'? Kuwait? You mean the country that was being invaded and asked us? (and invaded in the correct definition of the word which is to say invade with the intention of taking over permanently)

Muslims who think they are "fighting back" are wrong. They are like the Palestinians who blame everything on Israel and the Jews. Which, I'm sure you agree with them on. The Palestinians remind me of the Black Lives Matters crowd who've selected police as the red herring of their choice.
If both groups want to blame the responsible party for their plight, they need only look in the mirror.

"The bill also penalises, with a fine of €30,000 and one year in prison, anyone who forces (by violence, threats, or abuse of power) another to wear face coverings; these penalties may be doubled if the victim is under the age of 18."

Scarves are a different matter, they don't cover the face at all.

It is the 'compulsory' part of France Air's proposal that the union is protesting against.

What's all the kerfuffle about?

It's about
Should... as in,
A Guest at my table may be rude, and the Penalty is
Maybe not invited back.

The point is Not
Should
It's
You Will
Or else.

And, the point remains.
Doesn't matter if YOU are a cop and carry 24/7,, you cross into Mexico, you're going to jail. They have Laws, not simple Preferences. The women Can quit or comply. It's just that simple.
