It seems we have a new one in the news making absurd comments. I'm not sure if this really is a case of cultures clashing, or whether things really are taken out of context.

This guy does have a point. He's sexist, he's absurd, but you can't help but understand his point when you really think about it. I don't agree with it personally, but I don't think he's a horrible, horrible man who we ought to condem.
I personally disapprove of the way Islam is portrayed within the news. There are people from other religions who are just as bad. I mean, Islamic men are featured as quaint or oppressive for saying that women should be covered... but Christianity actually demands the same on an orthodox level, but no one speaks against that in the news now, do they? Come on, stereotypes are not cool anymore, guys .
In other news... I just got called a bibot. Gabby is so fucking weird.
