Quoting AEnigma III: Quoting azade: Maybe you wouldn't be so cocky if you came with me one time. You really need to open your eyes. |
You think Femme has not experienced other cultures or "lived" in the big wide world? You think she needs to see how your life in Denmark is so different when you visit your boyfriend's family in Turkey and dress up in their clothes and play at being a muslim girl?  |
But Aenigma isn't she entitled to doing whatever she wants with her life just like we do. What she does is the best thing for her. It is not up to us to criticize her decisions.

Actually we are perfectly entitled to criticise opinions on this forum
However, I have noticed that it is considered unacceptable to criticise anyone who praises Islam. However, it is considered perfectly acceptable for people to criticise feminism.

No there is a mistake, you are not criticizing opinions but the fundamental decisions an individual makes in her life.
We are free to criticize opinions but we have no authority to criticize private decisions unless of course they are made by our very close friends.

So if somebody makes a fundemental decision in life to become a terrorist, I should not criticise either?

Such fundemental decisions are already punishable by law, so nothing is left uncovered. Our ancestors must have thought about that already. Terrorists are either shot down in mountains or apprehended by the police.

I completely disagree!!! We are free to criticise who we like. Thank God, in MOST countries, we are NOT free to punish people for those private decisions, but in my country criticism is considered healthy

Ok you are welcome to completely disagree with me. You will however say good bye to the possibility of having any sort of agreements with those whose private decisions you criticize. As the word suggests, a private decision concerns someone's own life. If it does not it is not a private decision, if it is and if some other person pokes her nose into her decision than we have more problems than when we started.
Congratulations on your country then but I prefer my country...

There are also levels of criticism, ways of delivering it, etc.
See if what you really wanted to do was to teach me something about life, you would need to do it in a different manner. Oha has this backfired. Empathy is supposed to be learnt as a teen as far as I remember....

Well, in that case, I should apologise to people here who may sometimes feel offended that I find their personal decision to ignore cruelty, oppression, murder in the name of honour, abuse and rape abhorrent! I realise that it is not a crime to ignore such things and therefore you may not be shot or arrested by police for taking this decision. (Vineyards' definition of the only things I may critcise)
I would hate to offend their feelings!
What a selfish world this is..

Yes you look very pretty Azade. I can see that this makes you an authority on cultural issues
