why not anti christian?

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

You know, I don't see the hijab as repressive - burqa totally so, hijab no.

I will say though that the Blessed Mother didn't dress that way for any particular reason except that it was the cultural norm, and as I pointed out in the thread the other day, it is still the norm in many MENA countries. So, would Mary feel comfortable taking off her veil, probably not...she'd probably feel naked without it, as I'm sure that most MENA women who do cover would feel.

is it me, or did they all have really white faces? they must use the same cream women in MENA use! :(

The hijab is not oppressive. I believe it can become oppressive but a lot of women wear it without a problem. But as I've stated in my big "VJ re-debute" post: I believe it is cultural more than anything.

Btw... I need a couch. My back hurts SOOOO much.

What's wrong with you people. Why are we talking about Hijab why is it a target lately by a lot of people. We shouldn't talk about this because is not bad at all to cover your head. It's everyone choice you can be a good person or a bad person with hijab or not. Or you can be a good christian or a bad christian. Not only the muslim wears a scarf a lot of people cover their hair around the world. We are here to help but not to judge people/ Do not forget we are in VISA JOURNEY!!!!!!!! :bonk::bonk::bonk::bonk::bonk::bonk::bonk::bonk::bonk:

Why can't we talk about it? The point is to let everyone voice their opinions on something so we can see different sides and perspectives. That is what free speech and debate are for. Some people feel offended by the hijab, then there are those of us who don't. If we don't talk about the good thing about the hijab then those who don't like it will never know or learn. Don't be offended by the discussion because its not something to take personal. The goal is to say why you think the hijab is good and acceptable so others will understand your side.

Some people lead very boring lives and enjoy watching others get upset. The best thing to do is ignore the question/post and just call them out for what they are doing....

But some fish always bite.
