Is Modesty Empowerment?

[JayhawkSD]

5. Why do we not let them speak for themselves?

"They say that their choice to wear a Hijab is empowering to them."

We cite that statement and set out to prove it untrue. If they say it is, then it is. What business is it of ours how other societies live? Who appointed us to determine how people halfway across the world should conduct themselves?

We condemn the "Muslim extremists" because they are judgemental of the way we live, and they believe that they have the right to demand that we live in the manner that they do. They are wrong to be critical of us, we say, and have no right to tell us that our way of life is wrong. And then we are critical of them, tell them that they are living the wrong way and that they should live the way we do.
