You see videos like this: A woman in a hijab blocks the path of a woman with her hair uncovered and asks her to try on a headscarf. Because the woman facing her is well-intentioned, empathetic, civilized, and courteous, she does not want to hurt the veiled woman's feelings and does as she asks—smiling, happy, and cheerful, feeling the peace that comes from making the other person happy. Alright. Now let's reverse it: For instance, if an unveiled woman were to block the path of a veiled woman and ask her to try uncovering her head, could the veiled woman behave with the same good intentions, empathy, civility, and courtesy? Would she fulfill her request without offending her, wrapped in the peace of making the other person happy? Or would she savagely attack her? Surely it is the latter, isn't it? If you were to ask the veiled woman, she would say: "I cover myself because it is God's command; by not covering yourself, you are rebelling against God, you are an infidel, you are a sinner." Now, the question is this: How on earth is it that such a criminal veiled woman can walk around so freely on the streets of a free and democratic country and shamelessly exploit that society's capacity for empathy, good intentions, and tradition of civilized and courteous behavior? How can a democracy and a libertarian political regime afford vandalism and radicalism—whose sole purpose is to destroy it—the opportunity to self-destruct? - @IronicXtweet
