Buddy, its in a sentence, take it in entirety and then add the context it was written. "I see it all the time, the wife covered up like ugly statue that must be hidden, and the guy wearing shorts and a tank top.... kids in tow." ... as a proportion of seeing muslim wives fully dressed up face coverings and all, which is the context it is said in. You can assert it wasn't, but news flash... as the author I can tell you what I meant. I've seen it more then not when seeing the women fully dressed over. If you dont want to believe it that just makes you wrong, LOL. The other 'second' part is in a different post about a different aspect, them being the population of muslim women (second part's context). Confusing those contexts is confusing you, and your just trying to say I'm confused because you like picking on me because I disagree with you. Dont confuse them and then you wont be confused, or choose to lie and continue misrepresenting what others are saying, its up to you how good or badly you want to post.
Oh I believe you, why wouldn't I. I just put your two post together, if it was out of context, I am sorry. What do others think? Oh and I am not your buddy, maybe sometime if we knew each other you may be a friend, I do not put politics above friendship, a buddy however we would never be while your wearing those blinkers.
I had some collegues at work, when I worked in Kuwait, the Emirates and maybe some in Egypt. Because Egypt was long time ago, women at a workplace were not that common. In Kuwait I had some I had a good relationship to and enjoyed the conversation with them. I still have skype contact. But nevertheless it was a no go there to meet a women there alone at my or her home for a tea. I never had contact with a woman wearing a Burka. Niqab yes, Burka no! Where did you meet all these women wearing Burkas?
Maybe I misunderstood your argument there. I will see, if I can still find it. I dont see a link to the question if there is to wear Burka or not. Anyway, whats your suggestion how to deal with the IS? Let the IS operate freely in Australia? An organization which commits genocide in Syria and Iraq? How can you possibly reconcile it with Australia's relationship to the Islamic community? There are muslims horribly killed in masses by this terrorist organization!
In Arabia they call the burka Abaya.. I have met many over the years since I was a teen. (I am female) The most fun I had was at a pot luck for the Al Nadha Society. The most senior royal princess was there with two of her daughters.. She was the youngest daughter of Abdul Aziz and spoke only French and Arabic.. We talked late into the night about religion, women's rights, continuing education, historic preservation, women owned and operated businesses, men, and kids who smoke pot.. It could have been the junior league. In addition to several other American women, there was a red-headed slip of an American girl in jeans who was in Arabia as a student.
They call the Abaya Abaya. I have never seen a Burka in that region after all. Burka and Abaya are different clothes afaik. Burka: View attachment 30717 Abaya:
Few Westerners know that the Burka and the Abaya are different.. as is the Chador.. The point is they are covered up.
One used to see this a lot in the Yugoslav (especially Macedonian), Greek and occasionally Italian communities in Australia.
I've yet to see a woman wearing a burqa in Australia. Hijabs and niqabs (not all that often) yes, but never burqas.
