It isn’t a matter of fashion,  it isn’t a problem with aesthetic sensitivities, it is a matter of free speech.  The article linked to is a good bit of reportage, but the point to be made is Islamization is getting a leg up as Democracies inexplicably trash their own values. Freedom of speech, the most fundamental value in the structure of western freedoms is under assault. Following statements by a French senator,  that women in Hjiab looked like “Halloween witches” many in opposition called for sanctions against him.

The very idea of sanctioning someone for expressing their beliefs would never have been raised a few years ago. KLIKDAPIK

Why do westerners allow themselves to be pushed around by Islamists? What happened to the sense of right is right and  wrong is to be confronted without fear. Where has that assurance gone? Why have issues such as religious freedom been reignited?  In the west we have been able to absorb every religion, from the pantheism of Hindi faith to the rejection of all things twentieth century by the Amish, all have been welcomed to the big tent of western civilization.

Why, if most other belief systems have been able to adjust to living in a secular world, do we have problems with Muslim integration into modern western civilization?

Could it be that from birth on, Muslims are fed a steady diet of superiority over other beliefs, that violence is a  legitimate form of punishment, and above all, that there is US and THEM, and we (them) are considered inferior and worthy of being not only known but shown that we are inferior to the Muslim and that the in the final analysis Islam is destined to rule the world. In counseling recent converts to Islam, I very frequently heard non-muslims refered to as pests that need to be eliminated, like cockroaches.

With this as a credo who needs mental illness to fly a plane into a building?

AND HOW MANY SOCIETIES WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS GROUP MOVING IN NEXT DOOR? There is a repulsion, like a drop of detergent in oily water that sends the oil expanding away instantly. The very nature of the two substances seeks to escape the presence of the other.

So it is with good and bad.  It is abusive to require a human being spend most of their life out of the light of the sun. Hijabs are little more than torture devices to a women of the world culture. The culture that expresses itself in color and shape, style and image and all the joy that being a part of the world of provides. .
