Learning music is haram?!? How on earth is there so much Middle Eastern music what
While I dont know how more moderate groups handle it, instruments other than the traditional hand-drum called the 'daf' is forbidden.
That rant was not very coherent, I had some bad family experiences that were fresh, I will delete it.
Im angry something regressive like the burka gets representation. People should be aware of how incredibly degrading the rhetoric that is used to justify women covering everything except their eyes is.
It's not about accepting the terrible thing that it represents. It's about accepting the person who wears it. That's a person under there. And yeah, you might be rightly mad for them that they have to wear it, but a lot of people take that emotion and use it to attack people who look different than them (it's a very human thing).
So, we show people who wear them because they want to so that people stop taking the anger at the thing and directing it at those wearing them. Or, at least, that's the theory.

Yeah we tried that sweetheart, we got called racists 😂
To be clear I am very much against burka bans, anything similar that would limit them, or treating them differently.
I am just against it in principle because of the ideas behind it and against it being seen and represented as something ok. The two are different, I don't think the latter would get you called racist.
Also, a lot of opposition to the burka comes from a place of xenophobia. So much by groups that would otherwise be against many things that benefit women and whod have aneurysm at the mention of feminism.
