And you sure as Hell do not have the right to physically assault someone for practicing a belief that you disagree with. This applies if they happen to be Muslims, KKK members, PETA or the Catholic Church.

Which would you rather deal with. Because religion is all around you.

Oppression and hate?
Liberty, forgiveness and tolerance?

I bet I would not! If they can see me, they are trespassing! They would need to find a coroner.
800 acres and if someone sees me, they had to work for it.


There are no laws against going topless in the county I live in. The SC actually ruled it is discriminatory based upon gender, to allow a man but not a woman go topless.... Barton Springs Pool, was the first to test it in the 1970's.

I would confine that question to non-assimilated Muslims. My next door neighbors from India and my tennis partner from Turkey are just fine.

But turning to the hijabed woman the benefits are better here. And they can get our idiot politicians to allow them to recreate their hell on earth here in our country.

I personally encourage Muslims from overseas to move here all the time, just because it pisses off the people who are complaining in this thread.

So many delusional people in this country. Someone needs to move here and dilute the crazy.

Yet I'm certain any of the gentlemen (and I use the term loosely) would dare rip the prayer caps & bonnets from their heads, just as they would not dare to touch a nun's white coif. Let's not mince words here. It's not about protecting women's rights. It's about Islam. The ironic part is that the removal of of the passenger's hijab without the wearer's permission was a man deciding what's appropriate dress for a woman, which is exactly what the men who have defended this behavior accuse Muslim men of doing.
Excellent post. The bolded part sums up the situation in a nutshell. Some dirtbag thinking he knows what's best for women assaulted a woman while trying to impose his own ideologies upon her.

Well, 99% men who do not like jihabs will never do that to a woman.

Tashfeen Malik was not "masquerading" as a Muslim, she was a Muslim.

So were the 9/11 hijackers.

It's amazing, the lengths to which some will go to excuse Islam.

The word "Islam" means "submission," and Islam demands the murder or subjugation of all who do not "submit."

It is the religion of Islam itself that is the problem.

But of course, few people know anything about its history, or want to know.

Few know that Muslims attacked Christian Europe for 300 years before Christians finally responded by launching the Crusades.

Islam has been a violent, aggressive system of oppression ever since its founding 1400 years ago.

That will have to be changed.

The passenger's behavior was deplorable and shows a profound disregard for the dignity of other people.
The person targeted was a Muslim, not a Jew or a Christian.

Jews and Christians are not the problem, Muslims are.

Exactly.

Maybe if nobody had resisted Hitler, Hitler would have stopped his naughty behavior.

Yeah, right.

Islam is a "religion" of murder and oppression and it needs to be eliminated -- not just here but throughout the world.

Islam does not believe in freedom and democracy, and therefore does not belong in this country.

Those who practice Islam are fundamentally un-American.

True, but that hasn't stopped many of the 99% who dislike hijabs from approving and defending the actions of the dirtbag who did do it. So ..... their approval and defense of the dirtbag doesn't speak very well for their character either.

Then in that case, continue to let the media spoon feed you the lies you are eating up, you seem to believe in all of them.....

You're the one who's drinking the Kool Aid, not me.

I actually read history books.

You should try that some time. It's obvious that you know nothing about the history of Islam.
