I detest burqhas, no matter in which country they are worn. As far as I'm concerned they are a symbol of female oppression. Strange how so many Arabian women in particular will dress in a Western fashion when in the West, and change back to burqhas before their flight arrives back into their home countries - for fear of the beatings or worse they will get if seen "immodest." Disappointed that this has turned into a "I've got more Muslim pals than you contest." If you believe that, you are deluded - my wealth has been derived from the Muslim community. Among the many weddings and other celebrations, I've also had the privilege of burying Muslim friends by hand, as is tradition. Anyone that's traveled extensively in the south knows that the community has fractured into ghettos a la Northern Ireland. Nan is only one visible example of the type of resentment that has erupted in many smaller Thai communities in regards to the influx of Muslims. Whether or not they are fleeing the southern troubles - they are not welcome and treated with suspicion. Not so bad in the bigger cities, resented in the smaller communities. Sounds like you are the one with the problem, do you feel the same way about the burquas seen in Glasgow, what do your Muslim/Pakistani friends say about that? Again, as far as you are concerned, strange how no one wants to talk about FGM or in breeding for fear of be called anti XXXXX or racist, the same mentallity that gave rise to places such as Rotherham. Nothing to do with I've got more pals or not, its the people I live amongst every day. Far from deluded. Ask your Muslim friends if they would give you their daughters hand, no need for you to revert to Islam, how would they mind if the kids were raised as Christains? Who is selling the land to these Muslims? I see the same resentment in Bkk, these people are loaded, land worth millions of $$$$$. They have similair views and outlook on life as I do, hard work, childrens education, proactive, plan for tomorrow, save for a rainy day, sometimes referred to as protestant work ethic, the sabai sabai mai pen rai hammock swingers are the ones with the problem, instead of resenting, copy. Strange I should come half way round the world to meet people with similair values, very much like the Chinese. Not welcome, same could be said for bargirls bringing the buffalo home to the village, farang macmansion complete with 3 metre high gates installed, same farangs that are resented because they wont buy the hammock swingers drink and give out money willy nilly. Yes I do feel the same way about Burqhas in Glasgow - and none of my Glasgwegian Pakistani friends wear them, encourage them, or support them. In fact, they revile burqhas as much as I do. You see burqhas in Glasgow, and they are almost always worn by new immigrants from the Middle East. To answer your question - no, none of my Pakistani/Muslim friends would tolerate their grandkids being raised as Christian. Every one I have spoken to about interfaith marriage who has accepted the idea ( most don't ) would only accept it of the offspring were Muslim. |

That's not exactly true blether. Having worked in Brunei, Malay, Qatar, Dubai, Abu Dhabi with breaks in most surrounding places, you're talking about Saudi, which is hard core Islam. I have many friends in the South of Thai.They don't resent Muslims, they resent the army, nobody gives a rat's a who is goring who's gawd as long as there is peace. I wore a baju kurong in Brunei, burka in M.E. who cares. I see Cantonese women wearing the gear, nobody cares. I've been in Thai villages in the south that are segregated along the lines of religion. Having been a guest of Buddhists, I have heard them say that its not safe to travel the roads at night due to gangs of young Muslims acting as police. They have also said that there are no-go areas for them after dark in the Muslim dominated villages. This real life experience does not chime with your post. It could be as simple as your experience not being the same as my experience. |

ps - I have also seen Muslim youths shout abuse at, and threaten Westerners during daylight hours. That's off topic, though.
The topic is Buddhist resentment at the Muslim community. I have posted that I do a lot of work with Muslim colleagues, and I am a welcome guest at their various functions. Give it a rest with any indication that I am anti-Muslim, far from it.
I am anti-Burqha, and I will be until someone can convince me its not used as a weapon to suppress women ( not much chance of that ).

Tell me a burkha is not sexy. I wore nothing but underwear beneath mine. As you stated, different experiences, different geography perhaps.  |

Any comment on the topic of anti-Muslim sentiment being fanned by a Buddhist monk? |
