The report continues by saying that women wearing the hijab are being harassed especially in the big cities; that they are encountering difficulties getting jobs and being subject to embarrassing situations in public areas and transportation. The situation has gotten to the point that even educational institutions, including universities, have issued decrees banning the wearing of the hijab altogether.

No it isn’t, the subject was Russian elections and you compared it to the U.S. elections, as the same it seemed like, as you posted and in the context.

Well what the heck was your point when you posted that question in regards to Russian elections and America, if the point wasn’t what it appears to be and that seems so obvious?

Sorry, ansell, my question "Oh, you mean like we heve (sic) here?" was not meant as equivalancy to Russian election corruption, but as as a reminder thar our own electoral process is, indeed, corrupt. In fact, the entire federal government is corrupt.

It came off as a defense for the dictators of Russia against the poor saps in Russia.
Frankly it still comes off as that.
