I think you can only argue this commercial portrays cultural appropriation to a very limited extent, because the way the burqa is being used here is as a tool of objectification and sexual control (the woman welcomes him and allows him to unveil himself, and it is implied that she desires him to be veiled because he…

Thank you! Literally every country with a predominantly muslim population has a different interpretations of what constitutes "appropriate" clothing. People would be surprised if they knew how many muslims think that burqas are terrible.

Satire so absurd only an idiot could be offended! 10/10!

Um, I'm grown and I was thinking I would rather fucking die than see my mom's lady bits with wee little me popping out.

That was my main takeaway from this letter too - that Kat's mom could have done better by her child if she had worked from home on her laptop and brought home over $20k a month!!!1!

As an Austrian (who lives in the US), I am sooo happy right now!

I can absolutely recommend going. I got to see a semi final this year. I come from Australia (where Eurovision is HUGE) and I decided to move to Europe last year so I could see a Eurovision concert (also, because my boyfriend lives here but people who know me understand the move was 80% to go to Eurovision)

Or he needs une douche?

It has to be said, even if it's been said a thousand times before. Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman.

This reminds me of the time when two American exchange students made fun of me for saying 'holiday'. 'Oh, you hear that, she says ho-li-day. She means vacation, haha lolz.' This is when we were all studying at an English college, in England, where the proper English word is holiday.
We also had a 'film society' on…

"Do people really talk/write like this?"

The Eurovision Song Contest has always been about the gays, and that's why everyone loves it. Imagine an explosion of Dolly Parton, Cher and Elton John, the Olympian ice skating team, topped with an insane amount of glitter and feathers.
My personal favourite: Dana International, who was the Israelian winner many…

Yikes. Saying she did this to herself so she's going to "do it right"? Way to just imply that a woman choosing to have an epidural is doing it "wrong".

Oh yes, and I said exactly as much the last time I wrote about this.

He then shot her multiple times.

Oh please, enlightened one, do educate me on my own religion. I've been waiting my whole life, as have most Muslims, for someone like you to teach us about our religion. Because we don't have the capacity to learn about it in any other way. Please do tell me what "ummah" and "deen" mean. Please.

frequently see calls right here for the white community to denounce racism, for men to denounce sexism

You said "rest of the Muslim Community".

Right....at our next meeting I'll mention it to the other 1.6 billion Muslims. Though, if you could kindly suggest a good venue for our 1.6 billion people meeting it would be appreciated. It can get kinda hard to fit us all into one room sometimes.

They did that 10 years go as well, when that Iraqi dude was beheading westerners and posting videos of it. They were like "too gruesome bro - your making us look like savages - be more civilized and blow up a marketplace"
