42. wait a minute, my first post was removed?
And here I was about to add something to it. This:

It's wrong to characterize a group of people so broadly and negatively, and I should have qualified what I said to apply to religious fanatics, which is certainly not unique to Islam. I just have a problem with the role of women in the Islamic faith particularly because it seems most pronounced that men have automatic authority over women, and I see that as hateful. I see it as an evil, truth be told. It makes me very angry. I don't think anyone should have to hide their face from the sun for any reason, save for a personal reason. I remember seeing pictures of the women's bruised and misshapen faces, under the veils, and the stories of abuse, and my attitude is hopelessly skewed.

I let my bias against religion cloud my judgement of people, but what a bunch of nonsense to characterize as women-hating homophobic religious fanatics. I have to take it back. That was rude, and wrong, and I'm sorry.

But wow. Well, I guess its true then. Can't criticize?

Good luck with that.

N a k b a.
