Too Much Islamophobia In The Con Party

It's sparked a rise in hate crime. Well done Conservative party.

Do you not think it's wrong that we start a thread on Islamaphobia and one ABer comes in and says... It's better to be islamaphobic politically than let muslim immigrants come to our shores to rape our daughters.... And then the answers that are removed are the ones declaring that comment is outrageous and racist?

Not a thread I want to be involved with anymore.

[spathiphyllum]

Literally, what the person in the twitter link is talking about, has even happened on this thread. How ironic. Be proud of yourselfs you should all be so proud.

" I have every right to cover my face if I want to."
With a couple of sensible exceptions that is true but why would you want to cover your face in public? This is not a rhetorical question, I would genuinely like to know.

spath, //Do you not think it's wrong that we start a thread on Islamaphobia and one ABer comes in and says... It's better to be islamaphobic politically than let muslim immigrants come to our shores to rape our daughters.... //

I think it's wrong to counteract any such claim with nothing more than ranting abuse and charges of racism. It would be far more sensible to examine the claim in an intelligent manner and if you disagree, explain why.

[naomi24]

Incidentally, I think it's equally wrong to claim //Too Much Islamophobia In The Con Party // based on nothing more than one man's comment.

I'm very proud, thank you spath ..

[vulcan42]

My mistake, it obviously was a rhetorical question.

[spathiphyllum]

Vulcan there are many reasons.

I may not want to show my face simply because I don't want to
I may have bad skin so i'm embarassed
I may be cold
I may be trying to not bump into anyone I know
I may want to stop my body from being on display simply because i'm not happy with it.
(If i was a woman)
I may want to stop men sexualising me
I may not want to be a possible target for sexual abuse, a full body gown and face mask would help with that.

Sorry.. i would have replied sooner but I was suspended for the morning... Probably something to do with the obscured number of removed answers on the page previous to this one.. All mine i tell you.

I wonder if Spath would like his daughter to marry a Muslim and adopt the niqab or burqa.

I wonder if he'd be OK with his daughter having to share her husband with three other wives.

I assume he'd approve both these arrangements. It would be Islamophobic to do otherwise, woldn't it?

[spathiphyllum]

Why would I controll my daughters life? If she's happy she's happy if she's not she has my help.

Regardless... I don't have kids.. but if you're worried your daughter might do similar, maybe have a word with her.. Instead of, you know.. trying to eradicate all Muslims on UK soil?

[spathiphyllum]

And it would be my daughters choice.. If I had a problem with that.. As i literally just said it would be MY problem that I need to get over or sort.

Didn't last long though, did it? ;o)

[spathiphyllum]

I have no problem answering questions. I'm not going to debate with someone who is set on their opinion though, what's the point? No point arguing with someone who has prejudice sweeping thoughts that tarnish all or none.

It's official: Spath condones the subjugation of women.

Provided, of course, they willingly choose their inferior status.

[spathiphyllum]

So what you've actually said V_E is...

Spath supports a woman's free choice.

Yep, i'm proud to.

Subjugation is not free choice.

[hereIam]

It certainly didn't Baldric !

[spathiphyllum]

Baldric you read half a sentence.. providing they "willingly"

Yes providing a woman has done it willingly let her be subjected.

Let a woman have a free choice to do what she wants

Let a woman wear what she wants

If a woman willingly subjects herself then let it be.

I read all the post spath, you just fail or choose not to understand it.
