First of all, let me say that I am not qualified to communicate orthodoxy--particularly Catholic orthodoxy. That is not my intent here. Nor is it my intent to challenge your Faith.

However, i do with you would reconsider your thoroughly Marxist/Feminist pschyoanalysis of Muslim culture. My reason is quite simple: our true enemies are the Militant Atheists who have rejected the entire Abrahamic heritage and covenantal tradition AND who in many case openly seek to destroy that tradition. These people use precisely the same methods you are using against the Muslims against us Christians. When they get Christians to parrot their worldview (everything being one form of repression or another, the material liberation of the body being the summum bonnum of Man's (and Woman's) existence), then they have won.

Besides, if we're going to fight a holy war of liberation, why not direct it against the Chinese Leninists who forcibly abort millions of human souls every year? Or, for that matter, why not fight it against our own elites who instruct our young women that they should do the same? How much greater are these crime than the wearing of the Hijab?

I am not Marxist or Feminist. I don't know where you are getting this crap. You are projecting things onto me that aren't there.

The full hijab is not a religious statement. It is more a statement of the persecution, rape, and murder of women under the guise of religion. There is nothing Godly about the way these women live or the way they are treated. They are denied basic medical care because "a male doctor cannot touch or look upon them." BS. The culture hates women. Their corruption of religion borders on evil. No, it doesn't border on evil, it IS evil! Go to Afghanistan and feed this stuff to the women there. Tell them the horror they undergo is 'willed by Allah'.

In my "liberal" state, I frequently see Muslim women out fully covered except for their faces. Fine, if that's what they want. BUT, and read my words carefully, when a woman is BEATEN OR KILLED in a foreign country for not wearing this tarp (which is nearly impossible to function safely in), it's no longer religious. It's an evil act of hatred perpetuated by very sick human beings.

Be careful who your calling Marxist/Feminist. Your broad critique of Western culture on this thread could just as easily fit the Marxist/Feminist Mold. They reduce Western culture in the same way. (Western culture is more than just the late sliver of modernism)
