Just saw a female in the hijab! Why do we tolerate intolerance in the guise of cultural values?

I personally don't practice any religion, but I have heard many Muslin women say that they don't consider their garb in any way demeaning or sexist. They actually prefer to cover up, and believe they are treated respectfully and valued for their brains rather than their bodies. They would say women are far worse off when they feel pressured to wear miniskirts and tiny tops.

Who is to say they're wrong? As for the other side of your question, regarding hiding intolerance in religion, that could be applied to any religion at all. Hate gay people?

"No, it's just my faith! I'm a good person...really! Believe me even though I say terrible things about gay people!

" Hijabs don't hurt anyone. Worry about the religious and cultural edicts that demand violence against others (say, killing abortion doctors because they're "pro life").

So what if you saw people with religous customs man its a free country Jeesh how would you feel if someone said that about you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
