Muslim majority Tajikistan bans Hijab.

You're assuming the woman will go to the police in the first place, and that the police will take her report seriously if she does.

I wonder why you think any of that at all: given how little police care when a woman is being stalked by an ex who's threatening to kill her, why would you think they're going to get involved in a "minor" domestic??

AGS have a very proactive response to domestic violence in this country. It is taken very seriously, there are regional domestic violence and sexual assault units in every Garda district. Every single report or call is logged and followed up on.

Plenty, of victims of domestic abuse do not go to Gardai, it is not reliant on their religion.

the police do everything they can.

That is not what you see in real communitiees (the ones I have lived in). Some young people may become more religious just like some young Christians go fundi, but that is not the majority.

It doesn't need an official state religion. The President is a strong Christian and his anti- homosexuality Bill has been strongly supported by other strong Christians in the country.

"In the government, I was the 1st person and on the church side, my daughter, now a priest. So, I thank Patience for introducing our family to that line."

He described the book as a masterpiece that links the Christian principles to those of the ruling party, the National Resistance Movement.

THE Archbishop of Uganda, Dr Stephen Kaziimba, has expressed his Church’s gratitude for a hardline anti-homosexuality law in the country, approved this week.

Dr Kaziimba’s comments come in a statement released by the Church of Uganda communications office, headed: “Church of Uganda grateful for Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023”, and beginning: “The Church of Uganda welcomes the diligent work of Parliament and His Excellency, the President, in crafting the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023.”

He reiterates his belief, expressed previously in his Easter message, that homosexuality is “currently a challenge in Uganda because it is being forced on us by outside, foreign actors against our will, against our culture, and against our religious beliefs."

Go on, tell how Uganda fits the criteria of a failed State and how the Muslin countries that also ban homosexuality don't fit the same criteria as failed States.

No, not everyone. Just people who want to ban others from practicing their religion. Like Adolf Hitler.

Can you cite an example of this Christian terrorism in America please?

There were many elements but primarily it was a sectarian conflict between Catholics and Protestants. To quote the big fella (Ian Paisley) "To everything there is a season..a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."

I joke, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

You could say it was just about the British conquest of Ireland but essentially it brought with it religious conflict and persecution.

Chortle.

If you believe that argument best of luck to you.

Who knows! But I remember all the older women in my area covering their heads to go to church.

Religions are weird

Wondering how many could pick Tajikistan out on a map!

Tbf having travelled quite a bit in Tajikistan my contribution is mostly that they practice Islam very differently to how it's practiced in Middle East it is not as strict as what you might think at all (this is true for most of the Stans - totally different to the practice is Turkey or anywhere in Middle East which are far stricter) in the main cities men go to mosque for evening prayers (but rarely for prayers several times a day) but not in the countryside a lot, and a lot of people were persecuted for their faith during communism and don't practice - but they had trouble with extremists in the Fergana Valley in the past 20 years and have since had really strong rules on cutting long beards etc for men which includes religious leaders - they clamp down on a lot of religious aspects - they are quite afraid of their southern neighbours and potential extremism coming over the border (and it's hard to blame them). Plus there is a huge push from the top for more embracing of national culture and clothing which has headdresses for women.

Would like to say though - an incredible country and possibly the kindest most genuine people I've met - book your holiday

How to show you know the square root of feck all about the Six Counties and the conflicts.

feel free to educate us

to put it crudely and simply it’s got to do with Muslim men being afraid that someone might run off/have sex with their women. I understand also that women are ‘sewn up” when Muslim men go off to war . When they come back they can then check if the wife has been faithful. Pls correct me If there is no truth in the above

No it was absolutely NOT "primarily" a religious conflict.

Protestants were involved in the early civil rights movement (Ivan Cooper was one of its founders).

Even the IRA had protestant members. In fact the IRA in the 70s if anything were mostly leftwing Marxists, hence their contacts with Libya and similar. They also had a number of prominent protestants in their ranks, in the early days at least.

Sean MacStiofain, for example, was actually John Stephenson, an Englishman with an English father and whose mother was an Ulster protestant. She was the one who taught him that he was Irish - because until the troubles, most NI protestants considered they were Irish, just the Scottish and Welsh can be their nationality and British.

Ronnie Bunting, the son of an associate of Ian Paisley, was one of the founders of the INLA.

Get out of that with your "It was all religious" nonsense. It's nearly as ignorant as your racist "It takes Muslims two generations to become as secular as us in one" generaisation.

Rubbish, it was about protestants fighting Catholics over the right to freedom of political expression and rights to resources and jobs.

I come from a northern Irish protestant family so to say that religion wasn't the primary cause of the conflict is risable. An argument to far from a desperate character trying to convince us that Muslims are the only evil guys out there.
