That makes me recall comments that were made back when the war first started and people here were outraged that women had to be covered like that. The women there weren't outraged, that's just the way it's done there, that's their culture.
You guys are so naïve! Aussie is the only one who makes sense to me because she made the experience, but like Duch saying "That's just the way it's done there" is pretty much like saying it's ok when a nigger get's crucified in the South because that's just the way it's done there.
Let's go back just 50 years ago. Right now we are in the Muslim year of 1434. So that makes it 1384.
Forget 50, let's just do 30. 30 years ago the women here, in Iran, or as it was called Persia, as well as Afghanistan, were wearing .... mini skirts. Smoking, drinking, pretty much doing what every other woman apart from Jessie the last Aboriginie of Tasmania was doing on a daily basis.
So what happened?
America put the Shah into Iran after a nasty coup by the CIA, one of its most brilliant moves, to secure that area. The guy enjoyed his power, leaving many victims along his way. Obviously those victims didn't like being tortured, so did their families.
Iraq? Saddam was a close friend of America. America placed him there and gave him all the power. For oil. Then Saddam got fed up and came up with the idea to sell his oil for Euros and not only Dollars. Which would be a total disaster for America. Can't have that, Saddam must die! Even so just a few years back all of America giving him a big hand shake.
Then comes France. America can't have all the oil on the planet, just ask Total, so Europe must also secure some areas, which means stir up some shit. In comes Khomeini.
Living in a nice apartment provided by France, but now the American sponsored Shah of Iran must go, so Khomeini comes back to Iran, and all those mini skirts turn into burkas, and all of Islam becomes the equivalent of all of America following the KKK.
Coming back to the Muslim Calendar. Amazingly out Witch Hunts were about the same time in the Christian Calendar. Why do you try to put women down? Because it takes care of half the population, or in another way, it shuts up half the population. It is about political control.
Amazingly the people, just like with Gadaffi, who were the first and most commited to that very cause when it happened, were .... women.
So now go and try to make sense of that.
