I am sure it is a big deal to some people and I am not making light of what happened at the site of ground zero. But what Im saying is that there is so much more going on in this country, like the economy.
And I am going to be politically incorrect to say that I do not like the Muslim religion. No, I don't think all Muslims are extremists and terrorists and I that they are not good people. A lot of good people are in with screwy religions.
I don't like the whole burka thing. It angers me as a woman. Now I know, that probably as many Muslims dont do the burka thing as Catholics dont do the abstain from birth control pills thing. But the religion has a deep down bias against women, as do many religions. Most of them dont wear it on their sle....I mean heads though. Now the Catholic church as well as many Christian sects are male supremists as well. However I believe there is hope for evolution there. Catholic nuns fighting to be ordained priests, etc. They have a lot of good things too but the priests should be allowed to be women and in light of all the issues they have had marriage should be a *requirement*
Can Muslims evolve into a more female friendly religion? I don't know. But the burka will always give me that knee jerk repulsion to it.
And hey, lots of troops came home from Iraq!!!! Its a start, now we need them back from Afghanistan.
But I am sure a lot of people are happy and celebrating. Obama fulfilled a promise!! Maybe there is hope for an evolution of this presidency as well
