Dubaiite: “You’re quite an ignorant girl.” It’s comments like that that make me want to keep sharia law and its culture of violent patriarchy as far away from me as humanly possible. How on earth would learning more about Islam and history inform an opinion on whether Western culture should accommodate a segregationist ethos? The problem here is that it isn’t about Islam. It’s about how Western culture responds to a different culture that contradicts some of the values it holds dear (or tries to). So here’s my response: “You’re quite an ignorant boy. How about learning more about Western civilization and taking a class or two on its history before picking up a keyboard and/or demanding that Western institutions roll over and do whatever you demand?”
