[Cultural Jihad]

I do not consider those practicing the Catholic religious traditions to be repressed. Did I say that?

No, but then again the thread was about the use of the veil in Arabic cultures, and I offered the fact that the veil is not particular to Arabic cultures alone, and that furthermore Christian women were not always allowed to vote, to speak in public or in the houses of worship, to dress immodestly, to use their maiden names, and to own property. Should we condemn Christianity since for a thousand years a woman was considered little more than her father's or husband's chattel by the culture?

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Religions are often reflective of the culture and the times. Would you celebrate the abuse and mistreatment of anyone under any religion?

Not an odd question. God made the human body. Why are you ashamed of it?
