Has anyone left their spouse over GC views / pro-Islam stance

being critical of Islam/the wearing of a niquab/hijab etc isn’t islamophobic. It’s almost impossible to have this discussion, especially with the hard left ,without being accused of islamophobia. Calling someone islamophobic carries the same weight as being called transphobic these days. Ie. it’s utterly meaningless. It’s a protected space. You can criticise christianity or hinduism as much as you like, but woe betide the person who takes issue with islam.

Get a grip, love. Im muslim and we dont call women who dnt wear hijab haram, come on. Its important in our faith yes, but doesn't mean that because my non Muslim family and friends dont wear then I then think they're utter scum.

Women have rights in islam.and men and women are equal.
Women were given the right to vote 1400 years avo and great Britain only allowed the women of this country to vote only what 80/90 years ago because we didn't have the same brain to vote as a man and we're arrested for wanting to vote

Whatever pigs in Afghanistan or wherever view woman as less and prohibit them from getting a job or education has nothing to do with the rest of us. They are slimeballs and thats a fact.

OP doesn't speak for all of us, I just see people when I see women wearing hijabs, they cover their hair, I don't. I don't automatically think that they must be being forced either.
Also no idea what a sanctuary city is 😕

You sound Islamophobia

I think the OP is getting a raw deal here. Personally I see a difference between Islam (the religion) and Islamism (the political ideology) But also, in terms of women, a Christian woman can stop being a Christian. You can’t say that for all faiths. It would mean death for some women.

OP I couldn’t be with someone gullible enough to swallow all the current ‘trendy’ ideology without questioning it.

I am in this position. I dont engage. I wouldn't divorce over this but I would if he tried to force his views on me. He's a member of the Green Party ( for Palestine etc issues, not particularly deep into environmentalist) not bothered about gender issues . I have said I'd never vote Green because of this. He hasnt pushed it because I think he just doesn't care enough about it. It does chip away though when someone is so deeply entrenched in this stuff when you have different views.

I agree with OP. I couldn’t live with a misogynist or someone who condoned misogyny.

I’m more leftwing than DH, who is more of a liberal. But I had nothing against liberals until they all lost the plot and started spouting TWAW.

Even more perplexingly, my former leftie comrades have largely gone the same way. (Why? How can you espouse socialism while supporting such an antisocial creed? How can you call for collective action while supporting individuals who insist that society has to centre their personal demands?)

Luckily my DH recognises biological reality and supports women’s rights. I suspect a lot of my friends are cautious about challenging the trans creed, or Islamism, because their children would be shocked.

Well I live in a community with a high Jewish population. Many of my neighbours wear head coverings and the girls from a young age are dressed in long skirts and long sleeved tops. They might live their lives by misogynistic rules but we still chit chat and we still look out for each other (and I note you still say nothing about how you feel about Jewish men).

Their different faith and way of life does not affect me and we can still be neighbourly.

Looks like the issue isn’t your Muslim neighbours but rather you deciding you know what your neighbours believe just because someone wears the hijab.

They don't care.

You misunderstand.
Her daughter isn't getting an abortion this very moment or even pregnant. but as she's in a red state, if she did get pregnant, abortion is illegal except in certain circumstances. My point was that there are plenty of people of every religion who hate women too. And certainly in the US, evangelical Christians are way more powerful.

And your lumping in of palestine here- yeah, okay. Nice try babes.

Its not ironic, its the truth. She's getting worked up over imaginary scenarios and generalising the people who live in her neighborhood.

Like I said, people have more going on in their brains than what their neighbors wear or do not wear.

I would struggle with someone who couldn’t understand my fears for women and what the leads to in terms of my stance on religion or culture. I would think they are ignorant and disinterested.

It’s also unclear to me why being pro-Palestine is taken as being pro-Islam. You can be against the indiscriminate killing of people regardless of what faith they are.

This seems an ironic post

Why would none of the boys in OPs neighbour 'want' her daughter? Why not?

As a muslim hijabi woman (who like all muslims has relatives who do not wear hijab) this thread is hilarious. Don't worry, none of the boys in your neighborhood want your darling daughter or have time to think about any of your heads.

You are the one assuming we hold prejudices when nobody gives a toss about your hair.

All of the Omnicause is an import from the USA, and what starts in the US will inevitably be copied by our braindead lefties.

Fair enough. I do think it is worth seeking more info though, about more general politics or single issue.

My sister lives in the US and currently it's old white men with 'western values' standing in the way of her daughter getting an abortion, not women in hijabs.

I dont agree because OP seems to be asking specifically about misogynistic views within a cultural setting in which she lives rather than a political system itself. So it makes no odds where in the world that is.
