Killarney is right about female compliance. And no man chooses to wear a neck tie and they choose to wear them.

A burqa is an assault like nuns are, service-women in camouflage military uniform at supermarkets and a bishop with mitre and crozier.
Boys in hoodies make me clutch my bankcard.

Personally I could not care what women wear on their head. Women getting around almost naked is more disrespectful and damaging. What I and many others object to is the idiotic regressive response to Hanson having an opinion that many share. She is entitled to express it without every Islamic apologist like Brandis and the ABC displaying their bigotry and denials.

I wonder what Najla thinks of the British Labour party woman tweeting that Rotherham sex abuse victims to ‘shut their mouths for the good of diversity’.

Dear Najla,

Thank You for responding to our comments.

Full face veils are the most backward and
repressive examples of modesty culture forced
on women. And this is the comments that I
hear from many Muslim women. There are other
ways to express one's modesty in clothing
without having to resort in a full face veil.

They tell me that one may disagree with imposing
a ban on the burqa, but to defend or celebrate
the burqa is a betrayal of the women yearning to
be free of its oppression.

Najla, I asked for references from hadith or Quran that show good conduct, social interaction, justice and kindness by your prophet, and I get a silly unsubstantiated statement saying that he was “reknown for leadership qualities and a role model for social interaction, justice, kindness etc. “ Is the word “references” too difficult?

I have read the primary sources of Islam. Obviously you have not. Let me provide references:

Narrated Anas: Whenever Allah's Apostle attacked some people, he would never attack them till it was dawn. If he heard the Adhan (call for prayer) he would delay the fight, and if he did not hear the Adhan, he would attack them immediately after dawn (Bukhari Volume4, Book52, Number193)

Or you can do a Google search “expeditions of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)” Maybe these were to deliver flowers…

Don’t like the hadith? Lets try a verse from Allah’s perfect scripture, Quran 7:4 - How many a township have We destroyed! As a raid by night, or while they slept at noon, Our terror came unto them (Pickthall)

The ahadith tell some good stories about your prophet. Mohammad was obviously a smart person, skilled in warfare. However there are many more stories of brutal, sadistic attacks on peaceful people with looting, murder, enslavement of men, women and children, torture and rape. Remember, the ahadeeth were not written by Islam’s enemies, but by Muslims.
