You're on your own and mohammed is coming . “good men and women” needed to stand up decades ago and did nothing. They will never do anything because they care more about looking good and having money than being independent and free from needing others to do the dirty work. good men and women have been shouting from the rooftops.. libtards and the braindead (same thing) did not listen and will not. |

What this is, is a BRILLIANT TRIGGER OF THE LEFT. It's brilliant because it forces the Left, especially women, to consider at least 2 statements: That Islam is Right about Women means that they actually have to react to how they perceive women are treated in Islam. If they feel it's badly, then they have a negative reaction to the sentence. but they don't know what to do about that because then they're bigots against Islam. If they feel the sentence is correct....then they support abusing and oppressing women. That's the brilliance of this 5 word sentence. It forces the Left to confront the reality of what they just spew unthinkingly most of the time. I think we need MORE of these posters but with statements like Islam is right about GAYS. For example. And these should be on every college campus in the country. Heads WILL explode. Also, notice how quickly women throw over freedom of speech when they perceive it as "offensive".

No wonder you're wrong about the other question and think men are going to defend women other than their own out of some out of date "chivalry" that we've spit out like spoiled meat. Pretty sure you have me confused with somebody else ffs You said that men would defend you when the chips are down or agreed with that idea, right? There are plenty of good men. We don't do that stuff any more except for someone in our family or a good friend. Well, that's kind of what is wrong. Men are supposed to UNITE to protect their nation- and that includes defending it from subversives within. I'll defend the nation my own way. I basically expect women to defend themselves now, after all they've asserted independence. I won't defend women who dress provocatively and bring problems on themselves, unless they're my family members probably, but then my women in my family wouldn't dress that way. Muslim traditions are based on a lot of the same things as Jewish traditions, but the Muslims have twisted them. Or, if you go to Tel Aviv, the gay capital of the world, you can see some Jws have twisted them just as badly. But that's not the problem we're discussing right now. .

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63409234 the feminazis destroyed those types of men y'all demand the man roles, responsibilities, protections, etc. but give no room for the man to do those things because any man who does is accused of toxic masculinity etc. no men left. ok. oh I've tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried ... and all I ever get is ridicule, attacked, cut down, accused, etc. too much media propaganda spewing the idea that the man is "idiotic, incapable, insufficient, etc." and must be ridiculed and abused for this combined with media propaganda spewing the unachievable, impossible idealistic standards of perfection for what a man should be and be capable of. case in point chick up the road drove her car with a bungee cord holding her rear shock in place, that she rigged up to hold it there because the rear wheel well rusted out and it poked through but won't ride in my car because I did my own brakes and replaced my own shocks but haven't replaced the worn watts link yet and the clunk scares her fuck off OK, the watts link is not gonna explode and cause the car to go out of control and crash How did conservative Christian men with majorities in Canada and the US up until a couple of decades ago let communists and other subversives get ahold of media and education? It didn't happen overnight, but gradually over decades. There was a big movement of man hating "feminists" in the 1960s- it's not new, and that's when women really flooded the work force- mostly doing menial jobs and lowered wages. Men seemed to be all for the immoral- free love/orgy/if it feels good-do it movement and now are fine with women being called sluts for living with the fallout of it. they haven't really been the majority since the parents of the boomers generation the majority of boomers and onward are atheists or some other form of "unbeliever" |

Nobody would get to ask him, or if they shouted that question at him, the cops would probably get them. The reason for the inconsistency is that they're weakening us with leftist morality, then using the vacuum to bring in a foreign traditional society. The foreign society is supposed to win, because they retain the strength of their traditional morality -- even if most of them aren't too bright. This poster highlights both sides at once. You're not supposed to think of that, as you're displaced. And so I think it's brilliant to pose the question. .

And being women, you know that a covering is just another thing to fix up and fancify - ribbons, bows, lace, spangles, etc, LOL. When I was a child, raised as a Catholic, we were supposed to cover our heads in church. I never really understood that, but....what the hell. The reality was, we covered our heads a lot OUTSIDE of church too, LOL. I wore kerchiefs quite a bit when it was windy or the weather was cold but not cold enough for a hat. Kerchiefs were very common. But as the 60s when on, people stopped wearing all kinds of hats or scarfs, etc, and with Islam kerchiefs went completely out of fashion as you didn't want to be thought of as one of them. I still love kerchiefs and scarves, but I won't wear them anymore because of that. |

Quoting: MissCleo The verbiage is designed to take target at you specifically who would easily dismiss the language. It's illegal to post Religious signs on State signs, CRIME. But in Islamic language (different than 1st Person Narrative) the meaning of the signs is entirely different than what you think. In Islamic language the signs represent something entirely different. Do you know what the signs represent? The posters are alluding to Sharia Law, but at their core, the posters are trolling. They're trying to get people up in arms and offended. It worked. Of course. Instead LAW ENFORCEMENT should take the posters seriously and enforce the US LAW. We cannot allow Sharia inside the US, it's a foot in the door under the guise of "religion". Islam is not a "religion". Islam is a GOVERNMENT. A non-secular Totalitarian Dictatorship GOVERNMENT. Talk about not getting the point. Relax. So first it's against the law to post RELIGIOUS signs on street posts as mscleo claims...then 2 posts later mscleo says 'Islam is not a RELIGION'.....so which is it guy? I'm with everyone else.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78022260 Slovenia 09/24/2019 01:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why Women Wear Mantillas In Church Chapel veils, or mantillas (which comes from the word manta, meaning cape) are typically circular or triangular shaped pieces of black or white lace that are draped over a woman’s head when attending Mass, or in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Traditionally, the black veils were worn by married or widowed women, while the white veils were worn by young girls, or unmarried women, but there are no hard and fast rules about this. “Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.” (1 Corinthians 11:10) St. Paul reminds us that as Christ did the will, and sought the honour of God the Father, so the Christian should avow his subjection to Christ, doing His will and seeking His glory. We should seek a fitting demeanour in our dress and habit, avoiding everything that may be dishonourable before the Throne of God. By covering her head with a veil (or mantilla) the woman is agreeing to her beautiful and unique feminine status. She is showing respect and reverence for the holy angels too, always invisibly present before the Blessed Sacrament, who will come to her side in love and protection. This veiling of the woman before the Lord Our God, may also be a humble imitation of the angels’ behaviour, who when they sang the praises of God, and adored and glorified his perfections, covered their faces and their feet with their wings. (Isaiah 6:2) From the very earliest days of Christianity, wearing chapel veils as head coverings when entering a Church to pray and adore God, was a common practice among faithful women. Since the Second Vatican Council this practice has no longer been requisite for women attending the Novus Ordo Mass, yet contrary to what many believe, it is still very much supported and encouraged by the Church. Many Catholic women of all ages are now rediscovering this beautiful, age-old tradition. At Latin Masses, and in particular at the celebration of the Tridentine Mass, generally all the women in the congregation can be seen with their heads veiled as a sign of reverence, modesty and piety in their recognition that they are praying in the Sacramental Presence of God. This act of partially concealing a woman’s physical beauty (especially her lovely hair) is so that the beauty of God may be glorified instead. A veil is both a symbol and a mystical sacrifice that invites the woman wearing it to ascend the ladder of sanctity. It is also a way of emulating the Blessed Virgin Mary, in her humility, purity and submissiveness. Moreover, the mantilla, or chapel veil, signifies the role of women as a life-bearing vessel. The chalice holding the blood of Christ is veiled until the Preparation of the Gifts, and the tabernacle veiled between Masses. Both of these vessels hold the Eucharist – the very life of Christ. In a similar fashion, woman was endowed with the gift of bearing human life. “This is why the female body should be veiled, because everything which is sacred calls for veiling. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, he veiled his face. Why did he veil his face? Because he had spoken to God, and at that very moment there was a sacredness that called for veiling. Now… feminists after Vatican II suddenly discovered that when women go to Church veiled, it is a sign of their inferiority. The man takes off his hat and woman puts on a veil. My goodness, how they have lost the sense of the supernatural! Veiling indicates sacredness and it is a special privilege of the woman that she enters church veiled.” Dr. Alice Von Hildebrand [link to catholicismpure.wordpress.com (secure)] |
