    But nuns don't force others to wear a habit...women who are not Muslim are not bound by Muslim rules. I do not blame Le Pen for deciding not to meet with the Mufti...

    Really. Prove you know people from Lebanon, dated many from Lebanon. Show us the stats.

    How about those RC nuns forced to wear habit. How oppressed are they? You hate oppression of women.

    Yeah right. You want me to find picks and photos of the Lebanese girls that I have dated and of Lebanese friends that I had growing up. Please go and waste someone else's time.

    You need to stop complaining and deal with the fact that the far right populist made up this fantastic fake news, and you swallowed it.

    I have tried to understand why the left has embraced Muslims so much that they are unwilling to put a temporary stop of just a couple months from countries that only have about 15% of the Muslim population. I tried to understand why they are so critical of Israel when all they are trying to do is survive while being surrounded by hostile nations. There are plenty of other peoples in even worse condition than Arab muslims, but they don't seem to care so much about them. Their zealotry is in this regard is so over the top it's not possible that they care oh so much for these people, it has to be something else. The only thing I can come up with is the left hates Jews. Bringing in a Jew hating people is just the start.

    https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Muslim_Statistics_-_Antisemitism

    It's not just the fundamentalists, antisemitism is prevalent throughout the Muslim community. I worked with an Algerian, not religious at all. He once told me how much he despises Saudi Arabia for financing terrorism in his country. But when I mentioned Israel, he hated them just as much. The question is, why is the left so antisemitic?

    This is a case of retaliation, or humiliation, for her position on the issue in France. She did the right thing walking out. Eff em.

    According to the OP/story, she did. But didn't do it with the dignity of visiting and meeting another.
    She decided not to wear the burka, which then meant she was not allowed to meet. But did so anyways.

    And the other poster said any group that forces women to wear something they don't want to are oppressing women.
    I bet there have been a few women who wanted to be nuns and didn't want to wear the habit but did so for bigger reasons, and maybe some decided not to become a nun because of wearing a habit.

    And as others have said, in Lebanon, women aren't forced to wear any head gear if they choose not to.

    You're the one who claimed you only provide facts and stats. And when asked for some this is your response?^^^^

    It would seem you are the one wasting everyone's time.

    In another thread you talk about wanting to nuke the ME. So much for your friends and exgirlfriends, eh?

    Are you sure about that? I read she refused and walked out, got in her car and left. Or did she return later and meet the mufti?

    You have some sort of extreme complex where you think the good guys are on the Left and the bad guys are on the Right. The sooner you drop this black and white political BS, the sooner you will begin to see things more clearly. Until then, we have reached an impasse because this discussion is pointless if you don't want to explore the facts.

    Well nothing's technically impossible, but she's too low in the second round run off for it to be realistically possible. Not really something to hold out for.

    I do provide facts and statistics. What is it exactly that you want to know?

    I have had a personal relationship with a Lebanese girl when I was in my late teens and then in my early 20s. That I had probably 30 or 40 Lebanese friends throughout my schooling and working life.

    Facts isn't just your word. It needs to be corroborated.
    And you want to nuke the ME, so much for all those friends and exgirlfriends. At least those are the facts you posted in another thread.

    Not my idea to put FN in the far right. I sourced it even.
    But nooo... you had to go and make this personal.

    Really my personal relations with women have very little to do with this. You immaturity is being showcased with your continual attempt to discredit me based on an absurd request that has little to do with the main issue.

    You are either stupid or deliberately ignorant. I never said to go straight into nuking the ME. I said that Islam should reform, we should place a Muslim ban until they do, and if they don't reform we will have 2 options. 1 is convert and 2 is go to war. Now a war in the ME where nukes are used would be the absolute last resort if we choose not to convert. If nukes will not reduce coalition casualties, then we shouldn't use them.

    I think you prefer the conversion option.

    You are filled with so much hatred towards the USA and Europe and the West, I don't know why you live here.

    You are making this personal, not me.

    i think you need to look inwards, you'll find the hate there.
    The fact you need to attack shows this.

    I use what you say, you only post facts and stats. You give out this story about how you know so many lebonese people, dated them. And also will say nuke is an option in their world.
    Stats aren't adding up.

    I don't hate the west or the USA, I hate ignorants who throw out annihilation as a means to get another group to conform to their thinking.

    Margot has been everywhere, has had every Islamic experience, probably knows Saudi Kings...wouldn't doubt it.... and she has never seen a problem for women in Islamic states. You aren't credible because you have only been to Egypt.

    You are misappropriating my words in order to portray me as the bad guy. Sorry but it doesn't work with intelligent people. Please go and do some more research and study before you attempt to take on a discussion that is of this complexity. You are out of your depth which is why your ignorance is being reflected by the irrelevant absurd requests that you are making.

    Judging from our discussion so far, you wouldn't be able to digest the statistics anyway.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Well you listen to Margot then. I don't care who you believe as it won't make much difference anyway.

    It is you making wild claims. And at the same time say you only post facts and stats.
    Here is a recap, you claim you have many lebonese friends and dated some. You claim that islam needs to change, if they can't, we should nuke them. You're wanting to nuke your friends and exgirlfriends. Those stats don't add up.

    I am not attacking you, but you are making it personal. You are even attacking others in this thread. You want to annihilate a good portion of the world with nukes. Possibly starting a world nuclear war.
    I am only showing how your facts and stats don't add up.
