I hadn't heard of the term Awrah before and googled a little. Guess it depends on whom you ask:

  Something tells me you'd still throw a shitfit if I said all Christians are threats to children like your average priest.
  
  Can you honestly claim not to have recognized the long, ongoing conservative Christian effort to reach a similar state?
  
  Maybe, but most Republicans in the US are republican
Where are the ML to condemn this? Oh, they don’t care
- Still better than us rule. More importantly MLs are against this like were against all far right authoritarian religious nonsense. This is no different than the median US policy.
2025 is going to add this to the addendum
