Well said shaakira,
Hope someone is listening. usually i get confused why the west consider the lady with cover in islam as being oppressed and forced to do so, or that it is unjust for her, while in the church the sisters do the same in addition to being "married to the christ" and they don't question or object to that.
shaakira Wrote:Ofcourse the drinking and smoking part are abhorent, downright disgusting (no offence to the non muslims!)
We have fem only parties where we dress /dance and just have fun,
but as soon as we leave, we 'coverup'.
The best of both worlds, but within the ' law'. :wink:
Alcoholic Wrote:have to agree with Mayflower, Nun's choose their way of life and take their vows and orders, just as the Monks do who also wear traditional robes. It's a totally different thing.
Mayflower Wrote:if a woman does wear burqa by choice i agree with it totally. why would anyone say anything against it ... only when the factor of compulsion comes in, i feel pity for them ...
Alcoholic Wrote:It does not say in the Koran that a woman must be covered from head to toe - so why do it? As you said there is a certain requirement.According to my knowledge (might be right or wrong) but i'm 99% sure. The Muslim scholars agreed on 3 requirments for the dress 1) doesn't reveal, 2) not transparent (show what is under) 3) not tight to give inWakerleyation of what is under it (tight)
Alcoholic Wrote:And please don't generalise by saying 'The West'! As there are many nations, cultures, tribes whatever who have no religion, choose not to believe in anything or have never heard of any.Sorry for not being accurate, i assumed when i say the west, i ment the (western media) or the American society, which is still vast with different beliefs, Aslo the western europe countries, still very vast.
Alcoholic Wrote:But I always think it's a bit odd when you go to the beach or where ever and the guy parades around in swimming trunks staring at all the other girls, but the woman is all covered up etc etc. I actually find this very disrespectful to the woman.Disrespecful to which women?? the one with bikini the guys staring at, or the ones in burqa? If the guys with the lady in burqa' it is not disrespectful to her, nor the lady in bikini, but to the man himself who is looking, cause he got a jewel and still looking for another. That is greed
