Any government. Just name one that is secular. Please. There aren't any are there as none of them are "spearate from religion"? It's just a matter of degree which ones are more rabid.
CJ. You accept that Bahrain does indeed subjugate women in the name of Islam. What's different about how Muslim women are treated in any country? Again, it's just a matter of degree. Name me one Australian woman who would choose to wear what Muslim men try to make them wear? Yes many say they love it but women do not love having their hair covered, or wearing drab robes. Historical fact.
If Islam doesn't subjugate women why do they have one rule for men and one for women? It really is just a matter of how extreme a society let's these people be. In some countries stoning to death is practised. In Australia Muslims say everything is hunky dory. Again, one rule for men who dress and do what they like. And another for women.
Mind you I see little difference between Islam and the Catholics here today. Match Pell's outbursts with Hillaly's. They are startiong to sound identical aren't they?
The whole Christian faith uses Eve as the bad one as she bit the apple. Given that stuff is fiction why is it that a woman is the evil one? No coincidence she was name Eve is there? Evil. Eve. Blatantly obvious.
Secular, smechular. Doesn't exist.
And yet another item referring to "the left". It's gone people. Left and right are 50's terms. Today there are simply rich and poor. Nothing else counts if you follow politics ar all.
