Holier than thou Muslims ...

I thought the cow thing was quite sweet really. Absolutely barking mad, but sweet.

Especially once curried.

demanding the right to dress like a star wars extra when they had spent all their lives trying to stop impersonating Jawa's!

Dont follow. Why would anyone want to impersonate an old Czech motorcycle?

Been to the canteen for lunch, some hijabed Muslim bint (born here judging by her accent) was talking to her mate about how she used to be all western and wore miniskirts and drank and how she was so much happier now she had removed all these influences from her life and how she felt guilty when she missed one of the obligatory prayer times etc etc ad nauseum.
What a load of utter bullcrap. The fact is any ultra-religious types are self-deluded idiots.

That's not nice. Maybe she has progressed spiritually?

Each to their own. I mean, let the woman be happy. She might be a nice lady for all you know. Each to their own.

So let me get this straight, just because she was wearing a hijab you didnt like it?
It seems to me that its you that has the problem not her. How is this situation any different to any other female sat chatting to her friend about anything?

If she feels better now for her actions then whats your problem with it?

It sounds to me that you've got a problem with her removing social influences from her life.

Just live and let and lets move forward not backward which you clearly are.

"The fact is any ultra-religious types are self-deluded idiots."

Looks like this is a generalisation on your part. Seems you me that you think all people who follow a religion are idiots. Well, that would be BILLIONs of people then. Infact i would go as far as saying that atleast 50% of the worlds population follow a religion. And, 50% of the entire population on earth is ALOT of people. Clearly they are all self-deluded idiots then......?

Are you drunk? I objected to a holier-than-thou attitude and not stopping rabbiting about it. Coudn't care less what people wear.
And yes at least 50% of the population in the world are idiots. Can't you tell by watching the news?
