I have had the privilege of reading
the thread authored by @tweetsfromstar but I
differ on following reasonings & add some observations on
the maintainability of my standpoint.
#Integration is a subjective matter. Every society & religion has their own integration standards.
You can't integrate a #Woman wearing a #bikini ๐Ÿ‘™ in #Afghanistan๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ or #Pakistan๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ?
Attaching sufferance to #Hijab while pressing #burka or #niqab as an oppression is a sanctimony towards hijab on your part.
It's the same to assert that #Kalashnikov can be integrated but the #G3 cannot be integrated despite the fact that both are destructive and pose threat.
Neither #Hijab nor #burka is a choice, both are enforced through coercion, fear or at least to say childhood indoctrination.

This month marks a decade since I completed medical #internship. I thought then that I had achieved my goal, that I would find joy in my work. Little did I know where life would lead me. My #reminisces & #reflections - too long for a tweet & too short for a blog - hence, a ๐Ÿงต
As the first & only #medical student in the extended family, I was in #unfamiliar waters. Moving to uncle's house in another city was a not-too-comfortable but not-wholly-unpleasant change. I'm privileged to be part of a family who did all they could to keep me happy
The pedagogy was #authoritative & #oppressive; seemed to be designed to #humiliate, not teach. I couldn't learn by rote, didn't know of any better ways (pre- ubiquitous smartphone era) Expected to address #seniors using honorifics, I felt they were as unapproachable as teachers

It's surprisingly easy to picture how UK journalists would behave under a military dictatorship.

A thread about the regime of Britain's ruler, General Killmore, being fearlessly held to account by the British press.
Kuenssberg: after months of speculation, the leader of the Opposition was today found buried in an unmarked grave.

Opposition MPs blamed agents of General Killmore. But when I asked him, he seemed reluctant to agree.
Marr: General Killmore - several of your critics, in exile, have suggested that the recent wave of indefinite detentions,
which you had ordered, may have worrying implications for democracy.

How do you respond to that?
