Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 With ISIS now on the run, I wish we could somehow eliminate the little prick in North Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn06 76 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I get it, they were persecuted...etc by this terror group but I just don't see burning veils and shaving as a constructive rebellion. The commandment to wear a veil or have a beard is from God...not this terror group. Doing that is more of an insult to God. I am against people forcing religious practices on others. If you force someone to pray, for example, that person gets no reward, they prayed because you forced them to, not because it was in their heart or "something they wanted to do".

I have a similar feeling about certain protests. Albeit not religious but football players taking a knee instead of respecting the flag during the anthem. I recognize the right to do it. Just don't agree with the strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Women would get slapped (among other punishments) if their face were showing in public...by their own civilian police in traditionalist areas. What does ISIS have to do with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So forcing people to do something against their will is okay if there is a passage of scripture supporting it? You do realize that some of these folks were never really believers right? No community is ever going to be 100% anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be rebellion at all. It may just be going back to normality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the acts of burning veils and shaving were meant to be a "constructive rebellion." It sounds like it was more of a celebratory act.
