If African cultures and Arabian cultures live under an ethos different from the modern, western European culture, it's really no different than being judgmental of a European country for having a public nudity ordinance.

Is there some sort of "right" that people have to dress the way they want? If the government has determined that the public good is served by adherence to these cultural norms, then who are ya'll to call them names for it? By criticizing these cultures, you are actually taking the side of the awful alt-right-ies, and fomenting racism.
Saudi Arabia has no culture that I can discern. Just a set of draconian and oppressive laws drawn from religious fuck-wittery and a penchant for cruel punishments.
Are you seriously comparing their legal system to ours? :think:

You do actually have a point. Try telling a SJW nutter that Islam is oppressive to women and you'll get shit like this in return. I've had arguments with radical lefties who assert that Islamic culture is no more oppressive of women than western culture is. Try suggesting that the Burka is a tool of oppression and you'll really fucking regret it.. :/

From experience you need waders when debating Islam just to get past the right-wing racists and christian dominionists
It's no wonder liberals don't want to be associated with the sort of in-breeds (delicious irony ) that attack Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists while waving a flag and shouting about freedumb .
It's apparent even here.
The simple factual statement that ALL muslims consider a slave- trading, dishonest, paedophile "the best of men" is met with quiet murmurs about racism and the sound of the door closing.
Sadly most (A)theists don't want to confront Islam and I'm certain it is because they don't want ignorant racists hitchens a ride (dyswidt)

It is very tricky, Feck, because so many of the vehement anti-Islam mob in Oz, the ones that demonstrate about stopping a mosque being built for example, are right-wing buffoons whose veneer of being against Islam for rational reasons covers a racist red-neck mentality. The left, in trying to oppose these guys, are far too lenient in their views on Islam.
