Kerala is pretty progressive. I guess it's more symbolic

r/srilanka removed my crosspost today. Seems like that sub has few fragile muslim men from Sri Lanka.

Muslims are such a tiny minority in Sri Lanka, I doubt there are many on that sub. The Buddhist weirdos are the real religious threat over there

Ok and who was responsible for inciting all the ethic hatred towards Tamils over the course of the last 60 years and empowering a fascist government that just collapsed on itself this year?

Sorry but we're dealing with things in two different magnitudes

My point was that Buddhist extremism is the real religious problem in Sri Lanka. The Easter attacks just got a disproportionate amount of attention because Islamic terrorism is crack to the Western media.

A girl was killed for not taking hijab properly, I think we can safely assume she was forced and the ones who are doing it for solidarity obviously are also either forced to wear it or don't care enough to keep defending it. What's so hard about understanding it? Not every woman consented to forced hijab even during revolution. A woman could say one day "plz force me to wear hijab" and could still next day change her mind. Unless each and every woman of each iranian generation explicitly affirms everyday that they want laws so government teams come and force them to take hijab and harrass them, beat them, murder them for not taking it, they are being forced.

Did you miss the last few months of news? Please educate yourself about what's occuring in the world right now. People are being shot in the streets and beaten to death to remove an archaic symbol of oppression.

The way you speak invites ridicule. You are choosing to support the upholding of a tyrannical system forced upon people who never chose to partake in that religion. They were unlucky enough to live in a country that began to implement the religious laws in their region and then their rights and means to move away were removed.

If someone wants to wear a hijab because they chose to partake in the religion, that is not an issue. These women and girls never chose this life. The people in the picture burning hijabs? They chose, of their own volition, to do so.

The fact that you appear to think otherwise either means you are uneducated, or malicious. It's fair for people to feel as if you would be willing to suck shiekh cock. Just like yo mama did.

Fuck religion, all of them. Religion stole the "why" from humanity. Religion only knows how to tell you that you are an evil failure of a human when you are not.

Honestly who cares of it was was an "educated" decision or not. It's a headcovering, whether a woman wears one or not shouldn't have any real impact in the world. The reason to wear a hijab in the first place is a ridiculous one anyway, if men have such trouble controlling themselves it should be they who should wear an eye covering, maybe cuff their hands too if y'all are so worried.

The only reason to put on head wear should be if you want to or need one as the weather dictates. Not because of religion.

I know, but what I meant to say is everybody is just expecting everyone else to be just like them and if they might be a little weaker/ different they might be treated differently as well which isn't right. They might also be expected to behave like "normal" people but that IS the normal for them. And what does that have to do with the subject? I'll answer you, nowadays most people I feel are atheists/Christians and they reject Islam as being the "wrong" religion and even say that not following its rules is being progressive. I honestly don't see that being said or done about any other religions and I don't think it's a coincidence either. What I do think is most people, when confronted with the truth aren't prepared to handle it and they just don't want to face it. I feel that this is true in life.

The thing we are arguing for is to have a choice in whether or not you have to wear the hijab, funny enough since there aren't federally laws on a hijab in the US there are actually plenty of women who wear hijab out here

You don't see people rejecting Christian rules because you probably live in a majority Muslim country, people are trying to make laws in the United States based off the Bible and plenty of people do not want that, get out of your bubble

No, just that religious freedom in kerela is huge. It's a communist state mostly in terms of economy, and free in whatever you want to practice. It also has a huge Christian base, compared to other parts of India. I find that part of India very live and let live, compared to the rest. I'm conservatively Muslim and I like that, live and let live. Their burning of the hijab has nothing to do with Kerela.
