How To Tie A Double Upper Converse

Hijab and suicide bomber's belt

I generally agree with the moderate right-wing columnist ( and editor " Time " ) and a specialist on the Middle East Fareed Zacharia, but in one recent article was something that just "knocked me out of the saddle": " Asking women to wear veils is different from making men wear suicide belts ". - "To demand from the women wearing the hijab is not the same thing that causes men to wear" suicide bomber's belt "".

course, formally Zachariah rights. And would not be less than human if said human slaughter is not the same as the shot, or that the antitank grenade not the same as that anti.

I'm surprised that Zachary suddenly ceased to notice that wearing the hijab and the suicide bomber's belt makes the same militant Islam for the sake of some and the same purpose - the triumph of Islamic ideas and the victory of dar al-Islam of the dar al-harb. can be interpreted jihad as war, but can also as a victory over itself, as a spiritual asceticism. However, the second interpretation is the only addition to the first.

If women are forced to wear hijab, then Islamic values dominate over all others. As a consequence, highly valued martyrdom - martyrdom. And in the modern sense of producing suicide bombers, rather than the old, which includes death during the plague or childbirth .

Suicides rise to the same conditions that require women to wear hijab.

In light of the above should analyze the available statistics on the views of the Egyptians on moral and social issues. In the article referred to Zachariah The following figures 2010:
82% support stoning for adultery,
84% of the death penalty for Muslims, who had replaced faith,
59% characterize themselves as "fundamentalists" in matters of Islam
.
There also is data, 2007: 90% support the freedom of religion, 88% - an independent court, 80% - freedom of speech and 75% against censorship.

Zacharias istolovyvaet contradiction between the data as a moderate Egyptians. However, even if you do not pay attention to the difference in the 3 years between surveys, which could mean a sharp shift society in the direction of fundamentalism, the contradiction requires more attention than a naive belief in the "happy ending".

When people are asked something abstract, they are much more confused about the issues and give more stereotyped responses than during the interviews that people understand well. Bruised stones unfaithful wife - this is where as a concrete and meaningful action, but all sorts of freedom and democracy, give great scope for interpretation and the words are taken and are separated by almost everyone in the world today, including the despots and tyrants.

Freedom of religion for the majority of Egyptians are far more likely may mean impunity, support for the "Muslim brothers" and not what is at this freedom is understood by Americans. Similarly, "an independent court - court justified by Islamic militants and to base decisions on Sharia ( way, the majority just to support the introduction of Sharia, because they realize that it is ), and censorship, from which you want to get rid of - one that does not allow to promote the idea of jihad.

human nature to assume that other people invest the same meaning as it is in words. Alas, cultural and religious differences make the possibility of not speaking, but an understanding between the parties значительном проценте случаев иллюзорной.

Когда эксперты надевают "розовые очки", политики особо скорыми шагами маршируют в пропасть, т.к. ошибочными are axioms, on the basis of which were based theories and models of behavior.
particularly strong desire to see the light ensures that the light they see. Even in the pitch darkness and with eyes closed. I'm afraid that it is involved in this Western Islamists.
