Hijab as a form of oppression

You obviously haven't been around the Amish very much.

and as usualy you completely missed the POINT - there is no AMISH Vice Police

So you are saying all of these pictures were taken IN Saudi Arabia ?

I have no idea where the pics were taken. But each one of those women is a Muslim living in the country cited, where the majority of the population is Muslim.

Founding Pakistan's Pageant Industry

Founded in 2002 by Pakistani-Canadian entrepreneur Sonia Ahmed, and in its first year called "Miss Canada Pakistan[1]", the contest is held in Canada because beauty pageants are highly controversial in Pakistan and if it were held there, security for contestants would be too problematic.[2] According to Ahmed, "Pakistan's slow changing movement to liberate its women forbids such events from taking place on its soil."[3] The name of the pageant was changed to Miss Pakistan World, when contestants from around the world started applying for the title. It is the only pageant existing for single Pakistani women in the world.[4] The first Miss Pakistan World to be crowned was Zehra Sheerazi on the 1st of February 2003 in Ottawa, Canada.

Back in my younger days --pretty long ago--I dated an Amish girl.
You see they don't join the Church until they are ready and are free to do as they please until they join.
No one forces them to join, they aren't beheaded if they don't.
She eventually joined the Church , but we had stopped dating long before.

So if they join the Church and abide by their tenets that is their choice.
It's not a threat of death.

Let me make sure I understand: You dated an Amish girl during her Rumspringa and after you "romanced" her, she decided to go Amish?

That's a great story!
