    I stopped watching it when she introduced the concept of "invading our land".
    Because it makes her hypocritical.

    I will illustrate why:

    If "their land" is being invaded, it implies that there is a part of planet Earth that is "their land" and another part that is "not their land".
    It also means that she is assuming that such "Muslim land" is somehow under her and every other Muslim's property and responsibility.

    But, then, we know that "their land" (using her own generalization by her own assumption) is not exactly tolerant about blatant display of other religious symbols and attires.
    Do not look directly at the operational end of the device.

    Ugh I hate the way she talks about muslim women wearing the niqab for their lord blah blah blah. NO! Alot of muslim women are fucking forced into wearing shitty clothes like that and just because you happen to come from a background where you had the choice or deluded yourself to think it's ok, and you are less than men so should obey them etc doesnt mean eveyone did and just because you, one little missy, with no authoraty decide it is the word of allah and probably don't give a shit about those being force to wear it, doesn't mean the women who are suffering because of your shitty islam agree.

    What 'Plan'? That is the talk of a person of 'us verses them' mentaility, there is no 'plan' to kill islam, it's just people, each individual, have become sick of islam this and islam that, what authority does islam think it has in a country where even the church has been over decades been pushed away by the people! not by the priminister and their 'plan'. People who don't want religion shuved down their throats and into their faces.

    She was trying to link porn, rape etc to westernism, a pathetic attempt as you could see.

    Victory? Just go back to the 'islamic' lands if you're so against the laws here, why should a secular nation bow down to islam?

    Well there are several different aspects to think of about this clip

    1.  How do I feel about the speaker as a person?  She is probably well educated, she is well spoken and seems to have good intent.  She probably is a decent person.  

    2.  What do I feel about the arguments she is making?  Well there are almost word for word from the memeplex of islamic "griefs" and "complaints" about European culture, and I don't know if she has had a thoughtful discussion with anyone who challenges her concepts on women's oppression, sexuality, ect.  From the strict rereading of the exact same memes I would assume that she is simply parroting her remarks and haven't actually thought them out.  In this sense I see that inspite of being personable and well spoken, she hasn't applied any real kind of reasoning to her topics.  Give me someone who has thought out her position instead of parroting.  

    3.  What do I think of the presentation as a whole?  It is more of the same "Everyone is against Islam" meme  that tries to ensnare it's adherence.  People can't reject a piece of religious dogma based on pragmatism or logical reasoning they can only be evil sinful people hell bent on destroying Islam.   This gets spun into every aspect of life until Muslims see themselves as being completely oppressed in every aspect of life and that is where the Islamic victim/aggressor attitude comes in.

    They say it's oppression to women in the west (who actually choose to reveal how much they want) that they become almost naked, no it isn't oppression because it's NATURAL to be naked, yes, shocking, but humans invented clothes....

    There are tribes who are naked, maybe a cloth covering their private parts but that's it, men, women and children, the reason things become sexualised is due to covering for generations and all of a sudden even a little bit of showing like arms or legs are seen as sexual.

    These days a girl with a skirt on, showing he legs from knees down, and arms showing isn't immodest. A western guy wouldn't start thinking sexual thoughts and become aroused because of that, that is a fairly normal wear for women here and trousers, the whole western women are practically naked etc are exagerations.

    Modesty is also about how you conduct yourself, I've known hijabi's who are more immodest than a non-muslim woman.

    This whole 'war against the west' is about ego I think, it's about islamic power, they feel the west is powerful and they don't like it. Muslims want to feel big.

    Most Islamic critiques come from other more intellectually rigorous lines of reasoning.  For instance the idea of pornography as being "oppressive" comes from some  hard core feminist's line of reasoning who see the hyper sexual nature of society as oppressing a woman's ability to be perceived as a person and not a sexual object.  Religious policy makers ( the ones who comes up with these arguments) usually just lift the arguments and apply it as Islam's complaints about society.  The problem is that they haven't thought out the line of reasoning completely so we get arguments that sound retarded like Porn is Oppression! Let's force all women to except for their palms! I see a lot of Islamic apologists use Noam Chomsky for their complaints about "Western imperialism" but then turn around and advocate the exact same thing that Noam Chomsky was complaining about.

    Well the problem is the definition of "oppressive".  On the Islamic side of things oppressive means anything but Sharia law, so we are all being oppressed. To the normal person oppressed means being forced to do or not to do something against one's will.  In other words if it is voluntary is usually isn't oppressive.  Porn isn't oppressive because those women choose to do it.  They could work at McDonalds, or be a clerk but the choose to do porn of their own will.  Same thing with billboards, tv ads etc.

    It is more of the extreme feminist side, one opinion I heard was that dresses were oppressive too because they served to differenciate between men and women without reason  dance.  Like you said there are women who enjoy being a sexual object once in a while and even women who enjoy sex all the time and wouldn't mind killing two birds with one stone and get paid while doing it.  That's why I was talking about choice too, an option that the Islamic position of " Porn is oppressive" conveniently forget to mention.  the "porn and sexualized women = oppression" meme is really shallow when it comes  from a religious standpoint.

    It's about having the liberty to express ones sexuality, to repress it if one wants, and essentially to be able to have the freedom to choose whatever it is one wants to do and not be opressed from doing that.
