#50 Atiyah, the Catholic rape story was all over the news for many, many months, so that’s hardly “hush-hush.” As for blaming all Catholics, I WILL blame all of them if they don’t root out that evil from their midst. And while Catholic nuns wear habits, Catholics don’t insist that ALL women wear them.

As for Muslims and pedophilia, how about bacha bazi? http://tinyurl.com/rbzpo3 (and also see http://tinyurl.com/pu96nf )

Don’t use straw arguments.

As for #49, why should women have to hide their appearance? Why can’t men learn to control themselves, instead? You’re not going to have true equality of the sexes when one half of the equation is forced to go around in tablecloths and bedsheets simply because their natural appearance might turn men on.

Guess what? Men get turned on. Here in the West, they’re punished if they act on it in illegal ways. So, they’ve learned to channel their impulses properly and go on about the business of life. WITHOUT putting tarps over women.

Norway should take a tip from France and ban scarves and burqas in schools. You want to pursue such blatantly sexist and discriminatory practices? Then don’t immigrate to a country that doesn’t approve of them.
