It's hard to pick the highlight of this thread.
Is it the:
A. wildly false equivalency?
B. Islamophobia
TM displayed in refuting that equivalency
C. those who ignore the refutations to reinforce the false equivalency

PIC: Nun vs. Muslim girl--what's the diff?
To answer my own question, the Muslim girl might be cute, the nun, meh.

3. One becomes a nun by choice; one does not become a woman by choice..
and in those places where headscarves are *mandatory* it isn't about religious devotion.
A hater's gotta hate.

5. I'm guessing that very few nuns would be murdered by their relatives if they left the order?
Not all Muslim "girls" are so lucky.
Islamophobe much?

6. I don't know any Nun that was forced into her vows or service. Not to mention no honor-killings at
the Convent.
Who are all these people? Former guards at Abu Ghraib?

8. Are all Catholic women nuns?
Are Catholic women forced to become nuns?
That might be the difference.
Man, what sort of hate-fest is Richard Skinner running over there?
