Quoting ozglobal (Thread starter): We have got to draw a line and stop cowering to Islamo-facisim. |
"I think I should be able to wear my swim shorts in the Vatican; I am tired of their Cathlo-facisim."
"I think I should be allowed to go shirtless in at Angkor Wat; I won't put up with Buddo-fascisim."
There is no reason why these arguments shouldn't be any different from wearing a scarf in Iran. Most people would understand the needs to respect the norms of the society, whenever they visit . Putting on a head scarf is hardly an act of surrender; it is an act of cultural respect. Recklessly banding-about the word "facisim" shows just how obsessive you are. Grow up and get over it.
Quoting LAXintl (Reply 7): Making such comments and espousing one society is somehow better than the other is exactly part of the problem. How about simply learn to accept and respect other cultures and customs? |
Quoting guyanam (Reply 39): I think that European attitudes have bred a backlash among some alienated Euro Muslims. |
Some of those attitudes are clearly on display in this topic.
Quoting ozglobal (Reply 11): Those who would like to pretend there is not a culture war in flight and that everything will somehow 'be all right' if we just cave and be 'respectful' of Islamic wishes have a huge shock coming |
Your selective outrage and obsessive concerns need to be addressed somewhere other than on a forum about airlines and their people. Get help. Really.
There is no such thing as a "healthy obsession".
