Airforce- There are many hings in the Bible and with Chritianity's past actions that I have a problem with, such as the "obey" part of the marriage vows which you can now option to have taken out. I'm not a practicing Christian so this does not make me a hypocrite.

mad scientist- I do not drink, can't stand the stuff, so I certainly do not have a "big jar of booze" while laughing with my friends, just like I'm being told not to judge all women in Afghanistan don't judge me because I'm western. I get annoyed by binge drinkers believe me. However just because Islam prohibits drink does not mean everyone who drinks is uncaring of the world. Well with your argument no one can care about people because no one's perfect and I have never tried to say I am. Of course I have my faults, but I still care about issues.

Amani- Once again, I am aware that there are many Muslim women not forced to wear the niqab (thanks for correcting me lol) and I can guess most of the women on this board do so.
 
Indeed. The Burkha is a sign of both oppression and liberation, depending on whose wearing it. If the female is wearing it out of choice and enjoys wearing it, not because some local tribesmen have threatened to throw acid in her face if she doesn't, then it can be a liberating decision. I don't like the Burkha in any way, shape, space or form, but if there's one resounding message of Muslims who defend it, it is that the women who wear it mostly do so out of choice. Therefore, I would support the rights of anyone who wants to wear one.
