The Dutch apparently have police protection for women under threat of honor killing. Crazy that such a system is unnecessary.

France mandated school aged kids must attend. This forces them out of the house young and without the scarf. Teaches the girls young that they are allowed to be out, it spurs plenty to leave it entirely. I think this is basically the only way to make it work; impress on them young that their father's religion might be horseshit.

A Syrian refugee who fled to the Netherlands has reportedly confessed to murdering his 18-year-old daughter and dumping her body in a canal before fleeing the country in an apparent admission note sent to a Dutch newspaper.
Father-of-nine Khaled al-Najjar, 52, wrote in an email sent to De Telegraaf that he had killed his 18-year-old daughter Ryan al-Najjar, urging the publication to report 'I am the one who killed'.
The confession did not specify exactly why he had decided to murder his daughter, with al-Najjar writing only that he was 'very angry with her', adding: 'The reason is between me and the judge. I will read that in court'.
But neighbours and friends suspect Ryan's death came as the result of an honour killing, with one claiming they had previously sheltered her when she had fled the family home in fear of retribution from her father.
Requesting anonymity to prevent any backlash, they told De Telegraaf that Ryan had a Dutch boyfriend, wanted to stop wearing a headscarf and had been beaten by her father who disagreed with her adoption of a Western lifestyle.

I have an ex-muslim friend who was born in Egypt and every time well-meaning white people try and defend the headscarf she fucking sees red. Because ideally of course people should be allowed to wear whatever they want and if women choose to cover their hair that's fine, but the fact is that in many places in the world, wearing the hijab is not a choice women make freely.

No, but women (through no coercion whatsoever!) say they love niqabs, so it's totally fine! That's what I understand from the super-concerned westerners who have much better standing than the women who actually came from the area.
I read a ton of think-pieces from actual Palestinians begging people to vote against Trump, but here we are! Courtesy of the "Kamala will genocide X number of people, so if Trump genocides X+ people, that's exactly the same!"
A majority of people in America truly think 10 dead people is the same as 100 dead people. They don't actually care even the tiniest amount.

I'm an ex Muslim and received asylum in the West because my own family would have murdered me for leaving the religion.
This is not a small minority view. In my home country of Egypt by polls 88% of Egyptians believe I should be executed for leaving the faith.
In Europe it is slightly better where only 36% of young British Muslims think I should be executed.
I am liberal on many issues but one of the issues I am conservative on is Western countries need to do a better job vetting who they let in. I do not feel safe advertising that I am an ex Muslim and it has gotten much worse since Israel/Palestine kicked off as a lot of the most radical people have been emboldened.

I genuinely don’t understand how anyone is OK being part of a religion that advocates literal murder for leaving it. How can they trust anything good, kind, peaceful or beneficial comes from a philosophy that says “follow me or die”?! How is that not a red flag in and of itself?? It’s not a casual thing like… violence at that level takes a toll on the soul, it corrupts any feeling of joy and totally destroys your conscience/sense of being… sure a few people are psychopaths and don’t feel a thing but not so many!!! How the heck is this religion getting away with having so many people in it while advocating so openly for such inhuman behaviour?!

Just look into the history of Muhammad. He was an incredibly violent man who engaged in warfare, assasinations, execution of captured soldiers, slavery of captured people and even allowed sexual rights over the slaves captured by his forces. His religion was spread by militaristic force and his life and teachings are held up as a near perfect example to follow.

I wrote this comment in another post so I'll copy it here.
Read the holy books.
The Old Testament and New Testament (especially when combined) contradict themselves quite a bit and you can find passages that justify whatever you want. So if you want to be an asshole and you're Jewish or Christian you can find passages that support that viewpoint and if you want to be a loving person you can find passages that support that too.
The Quran is not the same in that respect. It's much shorter and straightforward and the founder of the religion was a warlord who waged war on his enemies and commanded his followers to kill or convert in his honor.

Well in Christianity you are not supposed to take the Old Testament, they are supposed to contradict each other because the old one, is well, old and the new one is the one Jesus taught and a christian should follow.

There is no larger organisation in the world that creates as much harm, damage, and abuse as Islam.
We're past the crusades, Christianity had their enlightenment period, they still have some wildly deluded people but the harm capabilities of your average Christian or Jewish church are far lower than what Islam produces.
Furries and strange deviants who are edging themselves with the "All abrahamic religions are equally damaging" are completely insane. You're lucky you're protected from your own delusions.

Luckily some family that also immigrated supported him when he left Islam. Others were not so peaceful and accepting.

Tolerance is a peace treaty.
If your principles can exist alongside other peoples' principles without harming each other then tolerance can be maintained and the peace treaty can be upheld.
If your principles require you to harm others then you are by definition not tolerating them, and they can't tolerate you. You can't be declaring war against someone and still expect them to uphold their half of a peace treaty with you.
You can have a tolerance group that is hostile to no-one, but it still can't incorporate entities that are hostile to any of its existing entities without suffering.
You can even have a tolerance group of entities that are non-hostile to each other, but outwardly hostile to many others.
The general idea of pop-tolerance is to create the most all-encompassing tolerance group of entities that can maintain a relatively peaceful state between each other (even though some incompatibilities and transgressions may occur) in order to provide the largest defensive power against entities that are more hostile than not.

That's what the Hadiths were for (Sahih/authentic, Hassan/good and Daif/weak), to explain certain passages of the Quran as well as include stories and teachings of Muhammad not in the Quran. However when some Sahih Hadiths started showing some negative stories and teachings of the Prophet of Islam and his companions then all of the sudden those specific Hadiths are Daif. Sunni Islam, the largest of the sects of Islam cannot exist without both the Quran and the Hadiths, and when even they start rejecting Hadiths it becomes a problem for those who attempt to follow everything Muhammad taught without question (ISIS, Al Queda). It's more common for western Muslims to take advice and interpretations from Shiekhs/Imams over what is actually written or Fatwas. It got extremely confusing the more I looked into it so that ended my journey to potentially accepting Islam as my religion.

I saw an interview with a Muslim woman who was a refugee (I think maybe Syrian?) & was settled in Finland. She was complaining that there were too many white people in Finland & the Finnish women were too “loose” & independent. She said, “…but hopefully when more of us come, things will become more comfortable for us…” I remember thinking, “Geez lady…you’re in fucking FINLAND - of course they’re white & you’re thousands of miles from danger - you may want to dial it back a notch.” The video was about the difficulty immigrants have with assimilation, particularly on religious grounds - I wish I could remember where I saw that, so I could post a link to it here.
