You apparently paint all Muslims in one broad brush depending on what they wear. You must not know any Muslims or you are masquerading here as the Donald.
50+ Muslim countries do not even allow Gay Pride Parades. It's definitely not "all Muslims" that are bigots, but the vast majority of them are.

Same with choice for a woman to wear what she wants in a Muslim country.

Not true at all. The Dems I've seen posting here, including myself, are object to a) people who want to force women to wear OR remove hijab as if they were children who cannot make their own decisions and b) people who paint an entire religious or ethnic group with a broad brush.

I can say from personal experience that the number one complaint my girlfriends and I had with our high school volleyball uniforms were the bloomers, which were basically bikini bottoms. Given the choice, the majority of the girls would have chosen to wear shorts.

I think it is great that women's sports are becoming a bit more in tuned to what female athletes feel comfortable wearing, and are slightly less concerned about giving their male audiences a show. The Egyptian team's uniform doesn't change the level of play in any way. Let them wear it.
Yeah...I'm no fan of Islam but I like that women are no longer forced to wear a bikini in order to play beach volleyball.

Polygamy is seen as oppressive to women.

In India, Muslims are the only communicate that can legally have upto 4 wives and brides below the legal age limit. Muhammad had like 9 wives at any one time, multiple sex slaves and a 9 year old child bride. A good Muslim follows the example of Muhammad.

Don't. They choose to live that way.

What? We aren't talking about sex slaves or forcing children to marry, which is already illegal. We are talking about polygamy within consenting adults. Please don't muddy the water.

What consenting adults do is none of the business of other people or the government. That's called freedom, which we don't have.

Not all.
Many are forced and are fighting back. Unfortunately the Democrats don't even acknowledge their existence.

So are we!

Unless they sign an agreement to acknowledge your definition of freedom, you are just imposing your view onto them.
