A banned Islamist militant group blamed for a series of bombings in Bangladesh has threatened to kill women, including non-Muslims, if they do not wear the veil, a statement said The group, which wants the introduction of sharia laws in mainly-Muslim Bangladesh, also ordered women students at Dhaka University not to step out after sunset, prompting police to increase security around the campus. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

I'm waiting for Adnan Siddiqi to say the US does the same thing by "making" nuns wear a headdress.
And I'm waiting for you to extrapolate this to say that Muslim women throughout the world don't wear the headscarf out of conviction rather because they were forced and threatened.

:wtf: Did you read the article? They want to FORCE ALL WOMEN. Musilum and Non-Muslium. I'm sure in free countries, like the US, Britian, Turkey, that women do wear it out of conviction only. But that has nothing to do with the article.
Ya I read the article, and what I said still stands.

I dunno. A.A: "And I'm waiting for you to extrapolate this to say that Muslim women throughout the world don't wear the headscarf out of conviction rather because they were forced and threatened. " You: "Did you read the article? They want to FORCE ALL WOMEN. Musilum and Non-Muslium. I'm sure in free countries, like the US, Britian, Turkey, that women do wear it out of conviction only. But that has nothing to do with the article." -- Pictures[^] from my Japan trip.

If you are going to argue successfully, don't fall into the strawman trap. It may work against your opponent, as they are likely to be emotional. For the observers however, the strawman will not look too impressive. Since A.A.'s remark was clearly an ad hominem attack (unfounded or not), you should've defended yourself by saying "why are you attacking me, instead of my arguments?". Then you would definately have "won points" in the eyes of the observers, and you would also have made the opponent aware of his mistake, which gives you a psychological advantage. :) -- Pictures[^] from my Japan trip.

The real test will be how the Bangladesh government responds to these ultimatums. Posting additional security guards only, seems a bit defeatist. If theses pieces of human flotsam are threatening the lives of private citizens then immediate action should be taken. Round up every one of the jackasses that you know about; go on the offensive and not wait for them murder somebody. Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that? - Jack Burton

Actually, I believe that a good number of them are socially forced to wear it.

Not necessary. I believe that even in the US, UK etc. there are Muslim women who have to wear it even if they don't really want to.

Perhaps they should ask Military help from India.

Please forgive my ignorance. But, do you think that will stand well with the people of Bangladesh? Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that? - Jack Burton

You are wrong. Most, I repeat, most women wear Islamic headscarfs because they choose to. Farhan Noor Qureshi if (this == this) thow this;

I guess we'll just have to wait for a few headscarf-wearing women to reply and clear things up... :rolleyes:

Or Martians? Nishant, do you think that the subcontinent can handle another military-based "solution"? Farhan Noor Qureshi if (this == this) thow this;
