Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I asked a young Muslim woman why she wore a hijab a few years ago; she said that she wore it to show that she was proud of her culture and identity, not because her hair was so beautiful that it would tempt men to behave badly. We laughed about it, but if you read the Koran and imagine that women are covered for those reasons it’s easy to be pretty scared about some men’s self control and respect for women!
Personally I shared a flat when studying with 2 Muslim men, (one Sunni and one Shia), and we all got along famously and they were very kind and respectful to me. Plus the flat always smelt of chai tea

From the article;
Zhu went up to a Muslim Student Association booth celebrating World Hijab Day and declined to wear a hijab when prompted. She then tweeted:
"There is a 'try a hijab on' booth at my college campus.
So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing?
Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?"
So I don't see anything wrong with the comments against the #religulous Muslims.
Where Ms. Zhu really lost her title was when she tweeted this obviously racist comment;
Zhu said:
"Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community before blaming others."
It's the old Trump-based strategy of pointing out black-on-black deaths instead of the obviously imbalanced persecution that still exists by law enforcement and many people who aren't "colored" that got her banned, IMO.

She spoke the truth, and you don't like it because it goes against the liberal agenda as you know and love.. And pointing out black-on-black deaths certainly is a part of the equation that you would much rather ignore because it goes against your liberal talking points. And there's no 'imbalanced persecution' by the law enforcement because when the majority of people that live in an area is of one race, it just goes to reason that the majority of people to get arrested there will be of that race.. But yeah,,, you go ahead and believe what you want, it won't change the facts.
@Captain_Feelgood Awfully judgmental of you.
I was defending her right to attack the "try-on-a-hijab" thing...but I was seeing why conservative beauty pageant administrators took offense when she brought up the "black-o-black" death issue.
If you don't see the racism that she expressed that caused a "conservative" beauty pageant administrator to ban her...
I feel sorry for you. But most pro-Trump people don't see the issue either.
@Robecology "Conservative beauty pagea...." Okay... we're done here.. 
Funny, when the statistics for those shot by cops are adjusted by the violent crimes committed by members of each race instead of population of that race, black people are actually shot less than whites. It's almost like those who encounter police more tend to get shot more, but the officers are afraid of the backlash when they're sighting on a black man.
Is defending criminals any better than victim blaming?

Posted by Reason-AbleI’m 54 and bored. I needed a project and decided to buy a truck and make it my project. I’ve been adding little mods to it every weekend. Any other vehicle enthusiasts in the group?

Posted by flower_nutMy mother's best friend worked for the local newspaper and decided to dress me as a leprechaun and use it for Saint Patrick's Day. I was a smiling leprechaun, whatever that was?
