Huju: “Some of the commenters who consider Muslims to be “animals” or “subhumans” should weigh in on the question presented by the opening poster. And don’t make me name names, because I can (but I am lazy).”
I’m not exactly sure what your point is, Huju. Can you clarify? Are you trying to say that if they care about tznius, they can’t be animals?
Or are you trying to say that if are animals, they can’t care about tznius?
Regarding the first point, I don’t think that one point has to do with the others. Someone can have one good middah and another bad middah.
Also, the fact that many or most of them are animals doesn’t necessarily mean that they all are. Personally, if I ever said anything about muslims being animals, I certainly did not mean it that way – I was referring to those that are terrorists or support terrorism which is not 100% of the population. I certainly would not assume that a little girl in Switzerland is a terrorist. But even if she is, that is a separate issue, and does not give the authorities the right to force her to do something against her tznius sensitivities.
Regarding the second point, the truth is that a lot of the so-called “tznius” amongst Arabs is coming from the wrong place and is actually very twisted and is coming from pritzus not from tznius. However, that is regarding the men and not the women, and in any case, does not necessarily apply to every person in every case. It is very possible that the girls really are uncomfortable going mixed swimming and if that is what they claim, they should be believed and it should be respected.
