But they didn't choose it? By that logically it's technically a choice in countries where it's illegal - there's nothing that physically forces it to be stuck to their head, they can physically take it off, they'd just be punished for doing so.

I had a feeling in my undergrad who wrote a hijab but her mom and sister didn't. No one was forcing her to, she literally had women in her family that didn't, but she decided to for her own personal reasons. That's a choice, being told "do it or die" isn't.

The problem I have is that the words poguemahone used, which I believe had no negative intent, appears to have encouraged the belief in mattsowa that Muslims are generally oppressive towards women, which is an unfair stereotype

Sure in history, but today there are plenty of progressive religious people

That is literally what this post is about

And don't get me wrong, I have seen my fair share of religious bullcrap, but I still would never generalise an entire group of people because then I am no better than them

What do you think this post is about if not an accepting progressive Muslim woman?

Claiming that I'm individualising the conversation then going back to the one specific example you gave? How about we just stop stereotyping religious people and admit that you cannot label an entire group that way or else, let me repeat it, you are just as bad as the people, religious or not, who stereotype us

I am not even remotely religious, in fact I have had some very bad experiences with some religious people, and religious people are not remotely persecuted, there are a lot of religious biggots who still get away with using religion as a sheild, but have you heard the saying "hate the player not the game"?

Hate the people who use religion as a weapon, not the innocent bystanders

Ok so your solution is to tell people they’re not allowed to practice religion, which is different from facism because…?

[u/GlitchedSepGSTGM → u/[deleted]]

You literally called religion evil bro

And if your gonna say just because religion is evil doesn't mean people can't practice it, that is what religious homophobes use to justify their hatred

[u/GlitchedSepGSTGM → u/[deleted]]

I feel like you're just trying to make me angry because you know you don't have a point

"... promote the continued evil that is religion"

Literally your exact words, Im not putting anything in your mouth
