Considering the fact that we are suppose to respect one another religious believe. Why is christian woman more concern for the liberation of the muslim woman, when the muslim women herself does not feel oppressed?
Why is the society so critical about the way a muslim woman dresses if it is acceptable for the non-muslim to dress anyhow she likes.
why is it that if a muslim woman stays at home to take care of my family, she is considered to be enslaved and when a non muslim woman does the same she is considered to be making sacrifice for the family?
Why is it that christians makes so much noise on the islamic legal system when the laws are only applicable to the muslims?
Could it not have been better if the pope addressed the issues of gay ordinations/ same sex marriages and other vices that have direct effect to the church than going back to archieves to dung out journals that are considered imflammatory to the muslims?

I agree with you, and for the women stuff I think it's jealousy to some extent... If we'll call Muslim women (easterners) and Non-Muslim women (westerners) for example... the westeners see pornography, smoking, pre-marrital sex, working, kissing... etc. as normal stuff. When they see that easterners are not doing the same, and actually easterners are a description of how the Bible as well described women (covering hair, not talking loud, covering the body...etc.) so this will make the westerners jealous and they want the easterners to be like them.
Remember in the past, real past, when the bad girl who lose her virginity at an early age wants to make her clean friends harlots as well.... it's much the same but on a very big scale and religion involvement.
Many non-Catholic Christians believe that the Pope is the antichrist and no better cover for the antichrist than the Church.

Yes you are right when you said we should respect each other religion. Religion is a right of an individual, his choice, whether it be right or wrong. In every society there is always a civil laws to follows either good or bad, accepted or not it has to be imposed and followed blindly.
I was really surprised when all the while christian are blamed for the misdoing of another. Christian became a shock absorber to anothers fault!
Who is making noice on Islamic legal system? Is it the Christian? No!
You said Islamic legal system is only applicable to Muslim, how come you imposed it to non-muslim people living in the muslim invironment. Does the non-muslim countries imposed dressing code to Muslim? No!
Christian dress decently in public, that's what our Bible says. and to cover their heads (not their face) to symbolize men rulership.
Christian leaders are in heaven, religious leader is still on earth. Christian leader (Jesus, Yeshua)will soon come and judge the nations of the world including his people and all religious sect.
Christian are not concern with the affairs of other nations, neither thier religious beliefs, christian are concerned about their affairs with God. Have you seen a christian terrorist, christian are only terrorist to Satan not to man who was created in the image and likeness of God.

The following is from islamfortoday (http://www.islamfortoday.com/womensrights2.htm) which is written by muslims: "At the beginning Islam was the most revolutionary liberalization of women's rights the civilized world has ever seen. But afterwards Muslims became ignorant of this and now Muslim countries are the scene of some of the worst abuses of women's rights. .... I have noticed in forums over and over that if Muslims call attention to systemic injustice against women in Muslim countries, they are likely to get attacked"

Many Christan convert to Islam, this scare the Pope. The best way to prevent Christan converting to Islam is by saying bad things about Islam and Muslims. If you read history, you will discover that Pops are the one who spark Crusade wars. Hitler was catholic. In dark ages, these Pops used to Burn scientist if they say the Earth is not Flat, etc...! Pops and his church have a lot of money and they influence lot of people around the world, they will try to stop the catholic from leaking to Islam.

If I'm reading you right. You're more concerned of what the pope had to say. Now I'm a Christian but the pope has nothing to do with me. So you're grouping all Christians together; get it?
All women should be able to choose their own path.
I have a big problem with any (notice I said any) group that takes a religion and twists it to meet their agenda.

actually if carefully read all the religions and Holy Books, u will see that a woman is held in high esteem. but since all countries and continents on earth are in the hands of ALPHA MALES since the beginning of time, we are always pushed down. be it Eve, Mary Magdalene, Joan of Arc, Boudica, Indhra Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, u and me and many women like us.
if people of the west still defend their freedom, then they better check these out.

or if they are still unsatisfied, then better watch Oprah Winfrey Show or much better Discovery Crime cases.
the societies and cultures were mere puppets in the hands of men since the beginning of time. and WOMEN ABUSE has become a GLOBAL PHENOMENON , unrestricting itself to cultures, religion, socities and continents. so i feel that all women in the world should make their stand.
they have diverted us a lot by speaking about Liberalism and Freedom and that is being taking in a path of Beauty and Fashion. we women should realise that we are more than just a pretty face and should tear it down. afterall, how many women today do u find as -- Presidents of countries or as Scientists and Researchers.
we have many Paris Hiltons but how many Oprahs do we have.? we have many aspiring Aishwarya Rai but how many Kiran Bedis could we find? we have many Yasmin Ghauris but how many Sania Mirza can we spot.? we need more Madam Curie, we need many more Lakhshmi Bai, and we need many more Sania Mirza and Benazir Butto in this world today.

Because they fear dominance by the Religion of Nature. Because Islam will not allow them free sex resulting in many Bastered being born and the poor lady (single mum) can not even protest. Islam will prevail in the whole world. This is not my wish, this is God's will because He has chosen ISLAM as the ultimate religion.

I am an American. I don't "make noise" on the issues you have stated. I have my personal opinions about those issues, but they are privately held.
But I also am a Christian. I will make noise about Islamic beliefs as it pertains to spirituality...The Q"ran is false...Allah is false...And you need to repent, and seek the mercy, and grace of Christ...Good day to you

They aren't pushing for freedom of religion. They are only pushing for freedom of people to join Christianity. If they were truly concerned with freedom of religion, they wouldn't be pushing for government promotion of their beliefs.
