I need to look again at definitions.
Easier to refer myself as a CBC (either it's a Canadian Broadcasting Corp., that is funded in part by federal Canadian govn't and with partial Canadian content or Canadian-born Chinese).
In the U.S., it's ABC (same parallels).
I'm not that negative about fundamentalism for Islam occurring in North America nor European. Simply because the next generation in order to survive, does end up assimilating over time, if their parents/older generations do not. Which several generations later...alot is forgotten for good, unfortunately. Every culture/language has good stuff worth keeping.
Assimilation forces are quite strong. And applicable for some (not all) women who might appear confined in a very patriarchical, fundamentalist family situation, but living in Europe or North America. At least the chances of her being heard for help outside of her community, are greater with less societal ostracization. It does take enormous personal courage and perseverance for these women to break free from tradition.
So for now, promoting exercise, if it includes cycling, for Muslim women in traditional garb, is still a good idea.![]()
For papaver, would still lodge a complaint with local police...even if they do nothing it's on paper in their log. If they don't have the data over time, there's less evidence for them to be proactive.
