what' s so difficult? let people dress however they like. if they don't want to cover up, it's their choice. and if they want to cover up, it's their choice too. what's the big deal? people live their own lives afterall
I can understand covering up for modesty to an extent. I mean, i wouldn't ever wear a hijab (for one, it's not my religion) but I can understand that. The neqab, I honestly can't understand. You don't look like a woman, or a person for that matter with it on. It removes all human characteristics and become something else. A hidden diamond - a thing, not a person, to be kept by someone without rights to her own body. It makes me think she's ashamed to be what she was born when I see it. Sad to me
@SalmanBari86 Yes, but generally if you have a diamond, you wear it, not hide it. Otherwise, what's the point in having it? The whole neqab thing... i just don't get it. It's like they're afraid of being female, like it's something that has to be hidden. It's not bad, dirty, or wrong to be female - so why hide it? Maybe don't flaunt it, fine, but what's wrong with showing a face, hands, maybe having curves? And besides, I don't see the men so concerned over THEIR modesty.
@wrsda (continued) I saw a woman in a neqab, with her assumed husband who was in shorts and a t-shirt. If she has to cover up and hide everything that she is, he should too.
@wrsda in islam there is no restriction of showing ur face, hand and feet!!! the only thing why women wear full veil to cover up the face is due to their husband or their own likings! no one forces them to wear such things except for their husbands! you should study Islam not by analyzing each and every women but by its contexts in the Quran...!
@SalmanBari86 Because their husbands force them too? They husbands should have to wear it too if that's the reasoning - because their wives might be worried other women would think they're too sexy, in their shorts and t-shirt. I have nothing against just showing hand, face, feet and stuff. I don't understand the idea of covering up so completely that you don't look human anymore. That's beyond modesty. And, there's no need to be angry at me. I'm not commenting on Islam, just female oppression.
"when i was young i used to play tennis... oh, i'd better not talk about piano and music!" wow... so when you go to the niqab end of the spectrum, you can't play tennis or piano or listen to music...wonderful.
ho and there is no such thing as heaven or hell by the way. NO SUCH THING! When you will die, you will realise that there is NOTHING (or rather you won't realise) and the people have oppressed millions in the name of a cult which did not exist.
i can accept but I completely disagree. And as a man seeing someone with Niqab makes me very uncomfortable, communication and human contact is very difficult. Just like if someone wearing a helmet enters a shop and does not remove it and talk to you. So fine wear it, but I don't feel comfortable (but you probably do not care).
Someone just said grow up be logical? she has likened the veil to nuns wearing head dress...very different...the nuns give up all thoughts of marrage children eating in public, all sorts of things...be logical? the woman wearing the black cover pics up her baby in that black cover? no real contact with the baby? our men dont go around assuming we are all available and we have to somehow explain we are respectable? most men would be surprised if we werent respectable
I wouldn't be preaching Islam if I were you. Maybe you shouldn't be leaving racist comments on people's channels. Didn't Allah say that all men are equal and that Islam frowns on racist comments?
@TheAngiejolie Dude seriously? I'm Muslim. I choose not to cover up. Covering up is a CHOICE. If you feel that YOU too out there, and YOU are aroused by men; then you my dear, wear the hijab and dress more conservative.
And whereabouts in the Quran does it say that you will burn in hell for showing your hair?
You see, this is why we are being stereotyped into religious monsters.
@DawnOfRandomness23other than face n hand is called 'aurat".i think u should learn more about our religion.if u follow our religion correctly.then there will be no rape.or other stupid things happen to women because of her sexyness
@TheAngiejolie Being Covered to the hilt does not stop men from having impure thoughts and acting them out, lay the blame or fault with the mans inability to control himself, or to act in the correct manner. Not the victum, of a crime. If you want to live in a community that strictly follows your religous beliefs, where every person is veiled then the countries Iran or Saudi, are options for you to migrate to.
These headpieces are not hijab. Hijab should cover the neck and bosom. It also should not be a bright color . And, the clothing must be loose and not define the form. Also, "no make-up".
You can see the difference between fashion and hijab. These inovations will not make the mullahs happy....Do I care? No !!!!
somw catholic/christian women wear scares evenr out of church. a friend of mine as worn one since she was 15. she as lovely long hair but keeps it covered. she looks lovely. buddist nuns shave they head. jewish women wear wigs/scaves. i think it is up 2 that person it should never b imposed on them. u c cheryl cole advertising hair products when she as extension. people sell they hair in poverty and rich vain women buy it 2 look beautiful but who for? inner beauty wil outshine vanity.
@smp236520 ....Are you endorsing hijab--covering the hair and modest clothing?
Do you also think that concealing one's identity with a niqab and burqa is also acceptable? Do you want to ride on airplanes, etc. with people who can not be identified?
There's a big difference between "hijab" and completely concealing one's identity! France, Belgium and northern Italy have decided that niqab and burkqa are a security risk.
@BoudiccaBlanc You can't speak for everyone. I know girls who CHOOSE to wear niqab. You don't know how every woman is treated. Yes, there are some societies in the middle east that force women to dress a certain way, and that is awful. This isn't the case for all. Not even close. Maybe if everyone in the west was educated, they would understand why these ladies cover their faces. And, btw, I am an American.
@BoudiccaBlanc Also... Think about how women are treated here in the West. You must be thin to be beautiful, you must wear the right clothes, you must have the right hair. There's treatment of women all over the world that's unfair. Every society is unfair to women.
If the discrimination/bias is enforced by a combination of chruch and state; it is almost impossible to overcome! Sharia law is an excellent example of the religion-based bias....reinforced by "tradition" and "culture."
The West does not need "creeping" Sharia law; as is happening in many cities and countries in Europe. It is incumbent upon immigrants to adapt to the customs of the host country!
3-3 @Briwyn.....We are not discussing a "fashion choice". We are discussing a vile totalitarian cult that is pressuring women to not only wear hijab...but also forcing them to the niqab and burka, subjecting them to FGM, and denying them basic medical care and an elementary school level education!
It's not the "culture" in Af-Pak...It's ISLAM...They justify marriage of children by their prophet's example, as well as the murder, rape and kidnapping of non-Muslims in Pakistan (and India)!.
@BoudiccaBlanc Scare tactics, like.. Accept Jesus or you're going to hell? You can't force someone to believe as you do. The thing is the only common customs you'll accept are yours. Unless you are willing to give up your beliefs to make someone else comfortable, get over it.
I have no intention of forcing anyone to embrace by values. However.....I refuse to condone people going around with their faces covered...if someone wearing a motrocyle helmet (with face mask), a balaclava or a stocking would be stopped by the authorities !!!
The world has seen the "fruits" of Islam. The true face of Islam is that of it's prophet,
A lying, robbing, raping, enslaving, murdering, paedophile warlord?
Unfortunately, Mohammadeans (Muslims) consider Mohammad to be the most perfect example of behavior and a model to emulate! Therefore we have the Tailiban who emulate him to perfection!
see why we have absent minded arabs! even high educated arabs.
I like to use arabic word which call people that seemed to contradict themselves(ha-ram-ailik)extremism used in brainwashing young people not to think for themselves and be a driving force for change,instead we have selective fools who educated themselves on expense of others,like young lady is bringing past primitive practice to silence the women's rights which majority of them confronting and defending it progress...arab!
@philnoll The first woman was talking about hijab, not the niqab, which is why she started to wear the hijab. Also, she said she would wear the veil more out of LIKE than DUTY. 6:20 - 6:30
oh poor poor baby ! He can't see his mothers face so can't interact with her.
Poor poor sad ignorant (is ignorance wicked?) woman .
She is abusing her baby by denying him the chance to interact with her properly. She abuses herself by denying herself the chance of a proper relationship with her baby.
She's only wearing the niqab (face covering) in her home because of the TV cameras... and the baby doesn't look so abused by her niqab... Her baby was giggling and cooing and reaching for her mother (around 08:36). What is "ridiculous" is that you call her CHOICE to wear niqab "ignorant" when you obviously have NO understanding of the veil or it's impacts on a child's development!
obviously she doesnt wear the face veil at home.she is wearing it at front of the camera. some woestyman have modesty and are not traped with fashion. some of them are beauty full but its only for the husbands eyes.
she only covers up in public and her baby perhaps can see her face 22 hours of 24/day while she is not on the streets, but at home or with family and friends...
@FR0STYF0X You really shouldn't judge poeple based on what your LIMITED to see in this programme. If she was at home she wouldn't be wearing the niqab. The niqab is only for when in public, so what you've seen is when she is with her child in public, NO WOMAN under islamic shari'ah has to cover herself for her child.
@FR0STYF0X Even if they brought a camera crew to her home she would still be covered up because she is covering herself from the public, so if there were no cameras around when she's at home she wouldn't be wearing the niqab.
@SkittlezAddict4Eva May Allah forgive you for you have brought dishonour upon islam. Cover yourself my sister. You must wear a burqua with a mesh covering your eyes otherwise you will be tempting the infidel kaffir amongst us. The prophet (pbuh) commands you to do this and to be respectable. Show the honor of islam by covering completely. Live the way of the true belivers, the Taliban. Allahu ackbar. Mashallah. Assalamu Aleikum, sister. Asalam Mualiekum..Inshalla.
ok, i understand wearing hijab and niqab but my question is: why does it concern only women? I wouldnt like other women to stare at my man so let him wear hijab too! and my other question: dont you think that hijab(i mean the headscarf) doesnt make any sense?Niqab does-it covers the entire body, but hijab? it covers only woman's head, while you can see her face and body. I dont get that
its not just women, its men to read surah 2:30-31, men are actually mentioned to observe modesty first!! men/women bodies are different so the parts to cover are different, if you say the men and women's bodies are the same then i strongly urge you to read biology and pschology and human sexuality, niqab cover the entire/lower portion of the face, NOT THE ENTIRE BODY. She can wear clothes that is lose fitting not sheer, overly colorful, gaudy, etc patterning after the ANOREXIC CK1 models.
i never said men and women are the same, dont put words in my mouth and dont be agressive-i'm just asking. what i meant was that if you ask women to cover their heads(along with faces) i say that men should do the same, cos i dont like when other women look at my man how handsome he is and may have dirty thoughts about him.
and why the quran lets you to beat your wives if they cheat on you?
P.S. dont treat it as an agression towards islam- i just dont agree with some parts of it
as for men/women research psychology/biology/attraction.
..and why the quran lets you to beat your wives if they cheat on you?... it NEVER SAID THAT? what book are you reading? seriously? where did you get this from? Its not in the quran I read surah 4:34! LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR: in islam if a men/women commit ADULTERY, THEY GET CAPITAL PUNISHMENT as narrated in the hadiths,(altthough repentence and amending is POSSIBLE), SO THERE IS NO " beat your wives" for cheating, This is LEGAL ISSUE.
the punishment for adulyrt in islam is the same for men and women it is those who carry out the punishment that are incorrect, islam values that sanctity of marriage and family. the ppl who are baised in punishments of any crime are who to blame not islam the punishment for crimes in islam is equal
thanks but tell that to the ones who keep mixing up culture with islam and i am not talking about those overseas either, its the ignorant westerners who keep this misunderstanding, they even made movie "stoning" to show look! this is islam sharia law!! we are going back 2000 years, like ALL MUSLIMS ARE LIKE THIS ANOMOLY IN A REMOTE RURAL VILLIAGE, WHICH IS LIKE SAYING ALL MAINSTREAM AMERICANS ARE LIKE HILLBILLIES OR MOUNTAIN PEOPLE!
i really don;t see the point of using this type of dress to make yourself look invisible when you go outside. how can completely hiding your identity be progressive? if the men cause problems their sexist beliefs and behaviour needs to be changed,. the answer isn't for the women to cover up and try to make themselves disappear.
its not about completely hiding your identity its being modest. You are not supposed to hide your identiy, however, women VOLUNTARILY WEAR THE NIQAB FOR EXTRA REWARDS, she is not trying to flaunt her body to get negative attention, we are not here on earth " to have it flaunt it" certainly jesus would never teach that, its vanity and it causes women to complete for attention trying to look more "sexy' than the next to get attention from men who dont even respect them as human beings.
so if a woman goes outside she is automatically 'flaunting' herself? i go outside to go to work. i incidentally pass men in the street, on the bus etc. if you want to take it to extremes you shouldn't use facial moisturiser, shampoo or soap, because that'll make you more attractive by preventing you're skin from drying out and getting blemishes and keep your hair in a nice condition (i forgot about conditioner!).
no, she is not flaunting herself, but what you do in the mirror and choice of clothes you wear while you to to work is a different story, you are not going to work dressed in a lingeree, or similar style clothing that women UNFORTUNATELY DO WEAR IN THE STREETS. As for shamboo, soap, etc. The quran is clear on that saying its permissible what appears there of, implying you can use all of that, surprizingly you say this while MUSLIMS ARE THE ONES SELLING THESE CREAMS, LOTIONS, COSMETICS!!!!!!!!!!
i can't go to work dressed in lingerie because it would violate the dress code. also, i've never seen anyone in the street dressed in lingerie which is the term used for undergarments. whilst some may dress quite skimpily, they are nevertheless wearing outer garments. and yes, muslims are involved in the international beauty trade to make money. what's your point?
I said that to make a point, you are not automatically trying to lure men when you leave your house, but someone do over do it to try to get attention, some companies have dress codes because some women do over do it especially in the summer, and if you are women you should feel ashame to see these women try to do this, all competing for attention and many of these so-called sexy outfits are disgusting, where is the comfort, it sucks, its horrible. so dont think beauty is a sin either.
u should dress how you feel comfortable without having to reveal everything you've got but also covering up with hijab and burkha doesn't stop men from staring and making comments. asian men especially have been brought up to believe women are inferior, made to serve men as wives etc and so they have a sense of power over the female gender. patriarchal cultures are like this. hiding behind veils doesn't help to confront this behaviour, it encourages it.
Its not to stop men, its to express who you are pious, religious, and trying to be sexy but to ONLY YOUR SPOUSE (husband as to be modest of his wife LIKE WISE)you probably think clothes is just clothes but its not, it is a form of communication, it non-verbally tells people something about you, your opinion of yourself, if you dress flashing you think flashing, a nun is not going to dress as a porn star or dominitrix. As for women inferior that is not islam so dont assoicate that with islam.
but if that's how you feel comfortable that's your choice because there are no laws (for the present anyway) in the uk to prevent you from wearing hijab and once you've worn it you may become used to it, but not all women will be happy dressing like that. also appreciating female beauty doesn't have to equate with lust, it can just be admiration from a distance so there's no need to feel threatened. if someone is rude however, they just need to be put in their place.
the majority who wear it are, because they are not forced to do it, however, you make it hard for them to trying to stop them from wearing it, discrimination, etc. As for beauty we are not beautiful so to go around dilberately showing yourself off is not logical what happens is that women compare their bodies competting for attention and they lose focus of their real perpose, to serve god, this is why many religious women dress conservative.
materialistic items such as diamonds. How do you ever expect to gain any sort of equality when youre arguments are based on irrational comparisons to man made materials objects?? Come on muslim women I am sure that you can do far better than just being an expensive material item. Just being an intelligent woman able to think independently and choose the dress you are most comfortable with should be a strong enough argument. Dont demean yourselves and reduce womankind to material items. God bless
can you honesty say that the contemporary styles are comfortable? just look at the trash the run way models wear!! the clothes that is "sexy" is not about comfort its about looks ONLY, TOTAL PARTS OF THE BODY EXPOSED, WOMEN NOTICE MEN SEE THESE AREAS EXPOSED (some fashions dont require underwear), so its an embarassing journey until you get home, and you though it made you look good, because the ad says it makes you look hot!
atoms than a monkey. I am far closer to a monkey than some precious stone that society has deemed to be important. Women please educate yourselves, travel the world, learn about history, arts, languages,etc. I dont believe that an accomplished educated woman would ever compare herself or any other woman to a stone. This is the kind of argument that an ignorant man would use when he is not aware of a womans vast capabilities. Let us remember that a true muslim would not place such high value on
The comments on these videos by muslim women are absolutely disgusting you should be extremely ashamed of yourselves. How dare you compare another human being, a woman, and reduce her to crystallized bonded carbon atoms? This is the problem with muslim women they need to go back and read the quran WOMEN and MEN are human beings with human feelings and experiences. I dont believe my ancestors were monkeys but I will be damned if another human beings deems me to be closer to crystallized carbon
Bismillah.After reading some of the comments, i like to add, that for those who do not understand the teaching of islam it's gd that u learn them thoroughly before giving comment. 4 those muslima wgh still does not hv e courage to put them on seek Allah guidance. Only the Creator know the weakness of his creation. 4 those who already wearing the niqab 4 e sake of Allah inshaallah paradise will be urs.May Allah grant me the courage to follow the pious muslima footsteps.
They used Germany school system then took off married chub bluub and he is laughing all the way to the brainwash bed and bank. Equal eh? Yea right! Miss using religion because she wants to be a part sof something. GERMANY got robbed by terorisers. Refuheese comming to save us is a myth. Look at the facts. Dual citizen ship with those cancerous cocaroaches cheapens being German, American, British, or Canadian. Even a giraf can get a visa on a one way con artist scam false pretence trip.
This is a really interesting discussion and i completely understand why many muslim women want to cover up, especially as a means of resistance to the west just as the sister in the niqab was saying that she vauled her culture and didn't want to be changed. but her philosophy of "i'm a shining pearl" and "i want to be protected" seems inconsistent. why doesn't this apply to men to? are they not "pearls" to be valued and desirable to others as well? this is just one of the many questions i had...
I do not wear hijab mainly because I am a new Muslim and I'm taking it one step at a time. But I wanted to say that I see a huge difference in how men treat me based on my appearance. Example-Ihad a flat tire early morning, wearing sweat pants, pony tail, no make up. Tons of cars passed me by, no one helped me. Another time my car died, I was dressed up, high heels, hair done, make up, red lips, within 2-3 mins I had 4 guys in 4 cars stop to help me. 2 of them asked for dates.
Come on grow up...if you can accept women for NOT wearing any cloth, why cant you accept women wearing one...If you can accept nun for wearing that dress why cant you accept them for wearing veil? grow up...be logical.
the only thing is, some women that wear hijab have to work to support their families or themselves, getting a job with hijab is sometimes challenging enough, and nicaab really sets you back altogether.
let them believe what they believe in. it doesn't affect anyone but themselves. this program was made to just educate people about their beliefs, culture and religion. if you don't agree to it, then so be it. everyone is entitled to have their own opinion but it doesn't mean you should criticise the whole population of the race and religion. trust me, there are so many different muslims out there. and just because they believe in wearing the hijab, it doesn't mean they are primitive.
wearing a hijab and covering themselves up is part of the muslim culture and the religion. i don't see why people are hating them because of what they believe in?
some women like to wear skanky clothes and whatnot, and they are everywhere in the media. no one says anything. do you think this was acceptable beforehand? of course not. but no one has said anything.
just because it's not normal for some people, it doesn't mean it's not acceptable.
lol you are completely right! i am even a little offended for her that she compared herself to a commodified rock to begin with... i am not a feminist by any means but her philosophy seemed so warped! though i admired her resistance to the western culture her arguments don't make any sense.
If that is so, then why are Egyptian women more likely to suffer from sexual harassment?
Covering up simply doesn't work. I have been harassed even when covered from head to toe in baggy clothing and a hat. You cannot say that how you dress makes men behave. Some men are harassers and some men wouldn't be rude if you were naked.
Face it, the hijab does nothing to curtail the advances of men.
that is like watching a video about the middle ages - what in the world is he using to style her hair? I would want to wear a hijabi to, before I let him touch me - by the way I am kidding, I think this stuff is demeaning to women! Grow up!
I like the niqabi the best.....she's way more articulate than the Hijabi. The first girl was kinda wishy washy. The Niqabi seemed to have more confidence.
Hahahahahha yeah right that's what the muslim men brainwash the women to do it's not cause there so call diamonds. Especially since the men in those countries. Don't look to the women to be equal as them.
Wow the lady completely covered was wearing gloves! That must of been great in 100 degree weather! So why aren't the men covered for Allah too? So that just proves that the women are NOT equal and will never be equal! I don't understand why covering your hair with the hi jab shows that your showing your goods when your body is completely covered in clothes.
Veil is a pure nature of the muslim women. It means respect and love of society. <<< And otherwise is the opposite<<<!!!
This is such a BS comment! They are forced to wear it!. They say if a women doesn't wear it on her head it WILL be her head! If it wasn't a law then None of those women would where it. Stray dogs are treated better here then those women there!
every woman WANTS to show off NOT hide away her beautiful diamonds - that's wrong idea! - maybe another eg more suitable to drive her point across!
Ifbikers have to remove their full helmets before entering a bank, shouldn't these banks have the rights to deny them entry for the safety of others- just in case. very impractical to communicate with a masked person- kinda at disadvantage talking to them. still I love them as humans anyway...
hye..im 22 n muslim girl..i started wearing hijab few months b4..shaima has same feeling n thoughts with me..i really want 2 chat with her..i got same test too after wearing hijab..but i wish 2 b strong..
At one point Myriam started to talk about playing the piano, then she stopped herself, asked her husband's opinion in Egyptian, & they both decided she shouldn't discuss playing music. Is music bad?
are you sure you actually watched the segments??? All three women talked about their choices whether to cover up or not...and the third girl who didn't cover up said that she used to wear the veil then took it off. Yes there are actually women who CHOOSE to cover up and others who CHOOSE not to cover up
This was a great story. It is really well done to show the connection between eastern and western cultures. I think people from either culture would completely understand this video. Westerners have many misconceptions about the veil thinking it is something eastern men use to control their wives, and take away freedoms. no rudeness intended, but it seems more like the veil is a woman choosing to dress up like a ninja to strengthen her connection to her God. :)
I feel sorry for those women oppressed by Fashsion and Media, telling women how to dress and how to look, we Muslim Women wear what we wear for the One Above.
I am Christian, and i do respect and revere this reason behind Muslim women being on veils. Even Christianity teaches this. Something admirable really.
thank you !! hijab is NOT merely a scarf..and especially one which u 'fashion' hijab is the entire body. There are specific regulations of hijab...right down to 'clicky' shoes that draw attention.may allah guide u
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
My good God!!!I truly fell sorry for all the muslims womem of the world.They think they`re doing God a service in covering themselves up.A true value of a woman is in what she realy is inside and not for what she wears.Unfortunately the closed mentality of men washed brained the women to think that they`re just worth anything if they wear these veils.And instead of fight for their rights the womem simply gave up.I hope that you all muslim womem could wake up before is to late!!!
We dont need your sympathy Elaine. The Hijab is nothing new, the Christian faith also used to implement it for their righteous Women, but sadly they got rid of it slowly in time, whereas uss Muslim Women we are obidient to God Almight and stuck to the belief. Wearing hijab has nothing to do with MAN, it is to do with GOD. My father would rather me not wear it, but I wear it for my Creator. something many nowadays women who follow FASHION dictated by men (funnily enought) will not understand.
I feel sorry for those women oppressed by Fashsion and Media, telling women how to dress and how to look, we Muslim Women wear what we wear for the One Above.
Women diamonds? What's this about? We are just what we are, human being. We can, we have to protect ourselves promoting our rights, fighting for equal treatment and educating men to respect us. Why don't men cover up and hide their faces? We are not tempted by them? How comes... But we have to help them out not tempting them and protecting ourselves. Let's learn to help ourselves in a different way. And I really hope God will judge us for what we are not what we wear ...
happen because it often comes out years later by which time it is too late to help the person involved. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is sick of seeing the isssue of rape being used in debates on whose culture is better. We should be trying to eradicate rape in all cultures not using the suffering of raped women to argue with each other!
Regulate112, are you for real? Just because you don't hear of rape occurences in muslim countries you take this as absolute undeniable evidence that it thus doesn't happen? Rape is a violation of humanity, it has nothing to do with anyone's religion or culture and to try to use the issue in defending your religion and culture (even if you are right to defend them!) is wrong. There are plenty of things that happen to people behind closed doors everywhere in the world, they happen and we know they
i agree, also it's totally untrue that rape doesn't happen in muslim countries. I read that this person stated that the last rape in saudi arabia was in 1992. How ridiculous to believe such a thing (and as if all rapes are reported). Egypt, for instance is known for its sexual harassment and this happens to both veiled and non-veiled women.
Stupid. I cant believe you guys say "women are diamonds" and also "wear a black cape so that beauty is not admired". Sure your husband can see you, and you better hope that's all the fulfillment you'll ever want to be looking for. ever.
I'm not blaming Islam whatsoever, it's normal for Christianity and Islam to dehumanize. As far as I'm concerned the only real religion on the planet is Krshna
Akeed i agree women are DIAMONDS... the niqab/burka is a protection from evils around us. Alhumdulillah i love this topic & promote wearing hijab and niqab/burqa.
No,it is moral if I cover her up to prove my masculinity oh and contribute to universal morality on the side.How smart is that!
I have stated "a" rape in Saudi as the LATEST incident which happened last week,and I made that clear.Please read what is written,NOT what u want to see written.But that's over now.You can call me a coward,cool.
I thought I was having a dialogue here, but obviously u r one-track-minded.You strike me as a memorizer, not a thinker.
Seeking moral reassurance out of a certain dress-code implies sensing obvious deficiency in inner morality that then has to be compensated for by something tangible, if that's at all possible. What shocks me most is that the second girl seems to be a well-educated person, yet does not seem to have spent any time asking "why?", let alone knowing a single thing about hermeneutics. I believe that being settled with easy answers is the most unpardonable sin of mankind. I wish you curiosity..
why do you assume they have "moral defeciancy"?Is it not sufficient to simply cover your hear because your Lord has commanded you to do so?
The results of Women being treated as objects is very easy to observe in the West. Rampant Pornography,Women being sold behind windows like meat in a butchery in Amsterdam, exploding STD rates (1 in 4 american women having an STD now),divorce,cheating etc..
We don't see this things in Islamic Societies, at least not to the same degree.
Q: why do you assume they have "moral deficiency"?
A: I did not, they did.
Q:Is it not sufficient[...]?
A: No it is not. The 1st Aya in the Quran was "read".What do u think this means?It means that life is an ongoing process of discovery..not 1 which is spoon fed from cradle to grave.What have YOU contributed to humanity then?
And about the last sentence, we do see these things in "Islamic" societies an awful LOT.What about the endless child molestation and rape incidents in Saudi? What about..
yes, I agree, it is morally deficient for women to go around walking half naked.
Secondly, I don't understand what reading and the Hijab/Niqab have anything to do with each other? Most of the Women in this video are highlt educated and lead careers.
Finally, you made a claim about "endless child molestation and rape in Saudi" ..please provide Sources and Evidence..as the last known execution for rape in Saudi was in 1992!
I did not understand the 1st line coz u said u agree, but to the opposite of what I said!Morality has nothing to do with dress codes.
I am not talking about academic education,I am talking about reading in the general sense,being sincere in the search of truth which seems very blurry in the horrible times we live in nowadays.
Finally,it seems that u have stopped reading the news since 1992, because I read about a Saudi rape incident in Alarabiya News. I hope Alarabiya is credible enough for you.
Dress codes have a lot to do with Morality. Do you think it is Moral for your Mother to go around walking through the streets with a G-string?
I think you would agree it is not Moral, so why apply different moral standards to other woman who are not your mother? don't you believe in the moral truisim of UNIVERSALITY?
don't you think it is a tad bit hypocritical?
You stated yourself you read about "a" rape in Saudi? what gives you the right to say there is "endless rape" based on "a" incident?
..the massive sexual harassment incidents in downtown, Egypt in 1 post-Ramadan feast, in which any female regardless of dress codes (that includes Niqab girls) were harassed.Islamic societies tend to neglect and avoid facing the roots of a problem, and tend to use desperate measures (i.e. some dress code) to deal with them. The issues of hermeneutics and how Quran is interpreted are areas of endless debate.This means that one should always be critical, not submissive and off-the-shelf minded.
Firstly, I keep hearing about these Phantom cases of "endless rape" and "molestation" in Muslim Countries. Can you please provide at least ONE source or evidence? I live in the middle east part time, and your claims, it seems to me, are simply rubbish!
Every few seconds a Woman is raped in the USA. Every few seconds a Woman is beaten in the USA.
1 in 4 American Women has an STD.
50%+ of Women in the West have been divorced at least once.
Well the sources are too many to just cite one. AlJazeera,Alarabiya,all news agencies that have a Middleeast section, but excuse me if I don't have the time to get all the URLs for someone who lives in denial since 1992.You seem to be awfully digressing since u keep speaking about the US,while I am talking about the issue of using morality patches in the form of some cloth,instead of doing some intellectual effort to help overcome the Islamic societies' problems.I know it's not through a veil...
I never denied Muslim societies have problems. Only God is perfect. However you are comparing the moral ABYSS in the West were every few seconds a woman is being raped with a few anomalies in Saudi. This is ridiculous and makes no sense.
FACT: USA has 4% of the Worlds population, but 24% of the Worlds prisoners..I think this speaks for itself!
I read Al-Jazeera every day. Rarely,very,very rarely do I hear about rape cases in Muslim Countries. Why do we hear about them? because they are RARE!
Although I am not speaking about single incidents at all,let alone being a side-issue, here is a link for an article from Alarabiya dated May 17th 2008:
"alarabiya net/articles/2008/05/17/49979 html"
I couldn't find the English article.
The title:"He raped her and mugged her before leaving her without clothes in the open."
The Subtitle: "Saudi:The 'Haraba' verdict for a man who woman raper who mugged her and photographed her naked."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
In Saudi Arabia, they'd just cut off their hands and be done with it. Seriously, middle eastern countries need to suck it up and join the modern world.
so she tries to prove 'decency' by what she wears. i thought decency in its genuinity is a virtue that comes from within; not dictated by what cloth someone happens to decide to wear for all eyes to see. Trying to prove your virtue esp. from outside-in sounds pretty superficial.
This whole choice of hijab or the full veil is just a bit wierdly ironic. So she wants to keep herself covered as a precious diamond, esp. after marriage...but would this still make a husband faithful; just think how many Arab men could be using the Intenet this minute in looking for taboo outside of marriage. Western women: at least think twice when you get offered the terms 'friendship, cultural exchange'
You're right, it IS about what comes from within..that is why the hijab/niqab ensures that we are judged for WHO we are and not WHAT we look like. We do it for God and only God...if the husbands that you speak of (mostly ones you would know) are on the net looking at women...they most likely would be NON-Muslim women who do not respect their bodies. Muslim women cover b/c we know for a fact that women are viewed more as sex objects than men. Look around you...naked women sell everything!
but your judgment has hindsight in not recognizing, that the case where a middle-eastern man who seeks outside of marriage on the internet, has indeed a wife wearing a headscarf. of course these are the cases i personally know, because men that do such are secretive about their actions. it is hypocritical, where a western women is used or misled by men who pretend to be righteous infront of their veiled wives, and also in pretending that they are interested in us as human beings.
The Arabs men control the women by covering them Women are not even allowed to vote in many Arab Countries. The oppression on Women in Arab Muslim Culture is widespread.
I'm an American who reverted to Islam, who also observes hijab and niqab and my husband is NOT Arab nor does he oppress me. This is my choice and it is quite liberating. So speak from experience not judgment!
As long as you can stop wearing the hijab if you wish tha tis all that matters. But outside the US (and some families in the US) it is very dangerous if you stop wearing hijab. In Egypt a lot of women about 20 years ago started wearing the hijab because of one simple reason: ACID. Always remember that. And strangely, in some parts of the Moslem world, Moslem men are trying to force non-Moslem women to wear the veil. And that is wrong.
This is not Hijab!!!! Hijab should COVER your neck and you should cover your whole body For God's sake. And style hijab? You're only satisfying yourself.
You may not think you're doing it for them, but they sure are happy every generation here in American when they get you to show them more and more of your bodies and have you calling it liberation. Feminism as we know it today began in the 60s. Free love! You bet it was free love, love without responsibility or respect.Women really got duped on that one. Along with bra burning. Its really sad that the legitimate hopes and aspirations of women were usurped by this horible situation we are in now.
What you say is true. But it is not the reverse for those women who do not with to be Moslem. Even in the US with freedom of religion (totally different from toleration) there have been killings when some Muslim women decided to convert to a religion other than Islam. It is 100% wrong to demand the right to convert to Islam but to use the power of the state and mob for those Moslems who wish not to be Moslem.
2nd of all, it seems to me that in our world today that if a minority misbehaves and breaks our laws we jump to blaming their RACE, CULTURE, and or RELIGION
Need an example? Just watch a youtube video of a crazy man who happens to be black, and read the RACIST comments people leave,if it's a caucasian we just brush it off as a SOLITARY LUNATIC
If a person wants to change thats fine, I was raised as Christian,became athiest, and now muslim
what' s so difficult? let people dress however they like. if they don't want to cover up, it's their choice. and if they want to cover up, it's their choice too. what's the big deal? people live their own lives afterall

I can understand covering up for modesty to an extent. I mean, i wouldn't ever wear a hijab (for one, it's not my religion) but I can understand that. The neqab, I honestly can't understand. You don't look like a woman, or a person for that matter with it on. It removes all human characteristics and become something else. A hidden diamond - a thing, not a person, to be kept by someone without rights to her own body. It makes me think she's ashamed to be what she was born when I see it. Sad to me

SalmanBari86 8 months ago
@SalmanBari86 Yes, but generally if you have a diamond, you wear it, not hide it. Otherwise, what's the point in having it? The whole neqab thing... i just don't get it. It's like they're afraid of being female, like it's something that has to be hidden. It's not bad, dirty, or wrong to be female - so why hide it? Maybe don't flaunt it, fine, but what's wrong with showing a face, hands, maybe having curves? And besides, I don't see the men so concerned over THEIR modesty.

@wrsda (continued) I saw a woman in a neqab, with her assumed husband who was in shorts and a t-shirt. If she has to cover up and hide everything that she is, he should too.
wrsda 8 months ago
@wrsda in islam there is no restriction of showing ur face, hand and feet!!! the only thing why women wear full veil to cover up the face is due to their husband or their own likings! no one forces them to wear such things except for their husbands! you should study Islam not by analyzing each and every women but by its contexts in the Quran...!
SalmanBari86 8 months ago
@SalmanBari86 Because their husbands force them too? They husbands should have to wear it too if that's the reasoning - because their wives might be worried other women would think they're too sexy, in their shorts and t-shirt. I have nothing against just showing hand, face, feet and stuff. I don't understand the idea of covering up so completely that you don't look human anymore. That's beyond modesty. And, there's no need to be angry at me. I'm not commenting on Islam, just female oppression.

i can accept but I completely disagree. And as a man seeing someone with Niqab makes me very uncomfortable, communication and human contact is very difficult. Just like if someone wearing a helmet enters a shop and does not remove it and talk to you. So fine wear it, but I don't feel comfortable (but you probably do not care).

There's a big difference between "hijab" and completely concealing one's identity! France, Belgium and northern Italy have decided that niqab and burkqa are a security risk.

If the discrimination/bias is enforced by a combination of chruch and state; it is almost impossible to overcome! Sharia law is an excellent example of the religion-based bias....reinforced by "tradition" and "culture."

I dont get that

its not just women, its men to read surah 2:30-31, men are actually mentioned to observe modesty first!! men/women bodies are different so the parts to cover are different, if you say the men and women's bodies are the same then i strongly urge you to read biology and pschology and human sexuality, niqab cover the entire/lower portion of the face, NOT THE ENTIRE BODY. She can wear clothes that is lose fitting not sheer, overly colorful, gaudy, etc patterning after the ANOREXIC CK1 models.

i really don;t see the point of using this type of dress to make yourself look invisible when you go outside. how can completely hiding your identity be progressive? if the men cause problems their sexist beliefs and behaviour needs to be changed,. the answer isn't for the women to cover up and try to make themselves disappear.
5678253 2 years ago
its not about completely hiding your identity its being modest. You are not supposed to hide your identiy, however, women VOLUNTARILY WEAR THE NIQAB FOR EXTRA REWARDS, she is not trying to flaunt her body to get negative attention, we are not here on earth " to have it flaunt it" certainly jesus would never teach that, its vanity and it causes women to complete for attention trying to look more "sexy' than the next to get attention from men who dont even respect them as human beings.
moorejr1400 2 years ago
so if a woman goes outside she is automatically 'flaunting' herself? i go outside to go to work. i incidentally pass men in the street, on the bus etc. if you want to take it to extremes you shouldn't use facial moisturiser, shampoo or soap, because that'll make you more attractive by preventing you're skin from drying out and getting blemishes and keep your hair in a nice condition (i forgot about conditioner!).
5678253 2 years ago
no, she is not flaunting herself, but what you do in the mirror and choice of clothes you wear while you to to work is a different story, you are not going to work dressed in a lingeree, or similar style clothing that women UNFORTUNATELY DO WEAR IN THE STREETS. As for shamboo, soap, etc. The quran is clear on that saying its permissible what appears there of, implying you can use all of that, surprizingly you say this while MUSLIMS ARE THE ONES SELLING THESE CREAMS, LOTIONS, COSMETICS!!!!!!!!!!
moorejr1400 2 years ago
i can't go to work dressed in lingerie because it would violate the dress code. also, i've never seen anyone in the street dressed in lingerie which is the term used for undergarments. whilst some may dress quite skimpily, they are nevertheless wearing outer garments. and yes, muslims are involved in the international beauty trade to make money. what's your point?
5678253 2 years ago
I said that to make a point, you are not automatically trying to lure men when you leave your house, but someone do over do it to try to get attention, some companies have dress codes because some women do over do it especially in the summer, and if you are women you should feel ashame to see these women try to do this, all competing for attention and many of these so-called sexy outfits are disgusting, where is the comfort, it sucks, its horrible. so dont think beauty is a sin either.
moorejr1400 2 years ago
u should dress how you feel comfortable without having to reveal everything you've got but also covering up with hijab and burkha doesn't stop men from staring and making comments. asian men especially have been brought up to believe women are inferior, made to serve men as wives etc and so they have a sense of power over the female gender. patriarchal cultures are like this. hiding behind veils doesn't help to confront this behaviour, it encourages it.
5678253 2 years ago
Its not to stop men, its to express who you are pious, religious, and trying to be sexy but to ONLY YOUR SPOUSE (husband as to be modest of his wife LIKE WISE)you probably think clothes is just clothes but its not, it is a form of communication, it non-verbally tells people something about you, your opinion of yourself, if you dress flashing you think flashing, a nun is not going to dress as a porn star or dominitrix. As for women inferior that is not islam so dont assoicate that with islam.
moorejr1400 2 years ago
but if that's how you feel comfortable that's your choice because there are no laws (for the present anyway) in the uk to prevent you from wearing hijab and once you've worn it you may become used to it, but not all women will be happy dressing like that. also appreciating female beauty doesn't have to equate with lust, it can just be admiration from a distance so there's no need to feel threatened. if someone is rude however, they just need to be put in their place.
5678253 2 years ago
the majority who wear it are, because they are not forced to do it, however, you make it hard for them to trying to stop them from wearing it, discrimination, etc. As for beauty we are not beautiful so to go around dilberately showing yourself off is not logical what happens is that women compare their bodies competting for attention and they lose focus of their real perpose, to serve god, this is why many religious women dress conservative.

Only the Creator know the weakness of his creation. 4 those who already wearing the niqab 4 e sake of Allah inshaallah paradise will be urs.May Allah grant me the courage to follow the pious muslima footsteps.

This is a really interesting discussion and i completely understand why many muslim women want to cover up, especially as a means of resistance to the west just as the sister in the niqab was saying that she vauled her culture and didn't want to be changed. but her philosophy of "i'm a shining pearl" and "i want to be protected" seems inconsistent. why doesn't this apply to men to? are they not "pearls" to be valued and desirable to others as well? this is just one of the many questions i had...

I do not wear hijab mainly because I am a new Muslim and I'm taking it one step at a time. But I wanted to say that I see a huge difference in how men treat me based on my appearance. Example-Ihad a flat tire early morning, wearing sweat pants, pony tail, no make up. Tons of cars passed me by, no one helped me. Another time my car died, I was dressed up, high heels, hair done, make up, red lips, within 2-3 mins I had 4 guys in 4 cars stop to help me. 2 of them asked for dates.

let them believe what they believe in. it doesn't affect anyone but themselves. this program was made to just educate people about their beliefs, culture and religion. if you don't agree to it, then so be it. everyone is entitled to have their own opinion but it doesn't mean you should criticise the whole population of the race and religion. trust me, there are so many different muslims out there. and just because they believe in wearing the hijab, it doesn't mean they are primitive.

wearing a hijab and covering themselves up is part of the muslim culture and the religion. i don't see why people are hating them because of what they believe in?
some women like to wear skanky clothes and whatnot, and they are everywhere in the media. no one says anything. do you think this was acceptable beforehand? of course not. but no one has said anything.
just because it's not normal for some people, it doesn't mean it's not acceptable.

If that is so, then why are Egyptian women more likely to suffer from sexual harassment?
Covering up simply doesn't work. I have been harassed even when covered from head to toe in baggy clothing and a hat. You cannot say that how you dress makes men behave. Some men are harassers and some men wouldn't be rude if you were naked.
Face it, the hijab does nothing to curtail the advances of men.

This was a great story. It is really well done to show the connection between eastern and western cultures. I think people from either culture would completely understand this video. Westerners have many misconceptions about the veil thinking it is something eastern men use to control their wives, and take away freedoms. no rudeness intended, but it seems more like the veil is a woman choosing to dress up like a ninja to strengthen her connection to her God. :)

We dont need your sympathy Elaine. The Hijab is nothing new, the Christian faith also used to implement it for their righteous Women, but sadly they got rid of it slowly in time, whereas uss Muslim Women we are obidient to God Almight and stuck to the belief. Wearing hijab has nothing to do with MAN, it is to do with GOD. My father would rather me not wear it, but I wear it for my Creator. something many nowadays women who follow FASHION dictated by men (funnily enought) will not understand.

Regulate112, are you for real? Just because you don't hear of rape occurences in muslim countries you take this as absolute undeniable evidence that it thus doesn't happen? Rape is a violation of humanity, it has nothing to do with anyone's religion or culture and to try to use the issue in defending your religion and culture (even if you are right to defend them!) is wrong. There are plenty of things that happen to people behind closed doors everywhere in the world, they happen and we know they
Starlightsixty 3 years ago 2
i agree, also it's totally untrue that rape doesn't happen in muslim countries. I read that this person stated that the last rape in saudi arabia was in 1992. How ridiculous to believe such a thing (and as if all rapes are reported). Egypt, for instance is known for its sexual harassment and this happens to both veiled and non-veiled women.

Seeking moral reassurance out of a certain dress-code implies sensing obvious deficiency in inner morality that then has to be compensated for by something tangible, if that's at all possible. What shocks me most is that the second girl seems to be a well-educated person, yet does not seem to have spent any time asking "why?", let alone knowing a single thing about hermeneutics. I believe that being settled with easy answers is the most unpardonable sin of mankind. I wish you curiosity..

Dress codes have a lot to do with Morality. Do you think it is Moral for your Mother to go around walking through the streets with a G-string?

don't you think it is a tad bit hypocritical?
You stated yourself you read about "a" rape in Saudi? what gives you the right to say there is "endless rape" based on "a" incident?
regulate112 3 years ago
..the massive sexual harassment incidents in downtown, Egypt in 1 post-Ramadan feast, in which any female regardless of dress codes (that includes Niqab girls) were harassed.Islamic societies tend to neglect and avoid facing the roots of a problem, and tend to use desperate measures (i.e. some dress code) to deal with them. The issues of hermeneutics and how Quran is interpreted are areas of endless debate.This means that one should always be critical, not submissive and off-the-shelf minded.

This whole choice of hijab or the full veil is just a bit wierdly ironic. So she wants to keep herself covered as a precious diamond, esp. after marriage...but would this still make a husband faithful; just think how many Arab men could be using the Intenet this minute in looking for taboo outside of marriage. Western women: at least think twice when you get offered the terms 'friendship, cultural exchange'
segits 3 years ago
You're right, it IS about what comes from within..that is why the hijab/niqab ensures that we are judged for WHO we are and not WHAT we look like. We do it for God and only God...if the husbands that you speak of (mostly ones you would know) are on the net looking at women...they most likely would be NON-Muslim women who do not respect their bodies. Muslim women cover b/c we know for a fact that women are viewed more as sex objects than men. Look around you...naked women sell everything!

Dear Member,
As long as you can stop wearing the hijab if you wish tha tis all that matters. But outside the US (and some families in the US) it is very dangerous if you stop wearing hijab. In Egypt a lot of women about 20 years ago started wearing the hijab because of one simple reason: ACID. Always remember that. And strangely, in some parts of the Moslem world, Moslem men are trying to force non-Moslem women to wear the veil. And that is wrong.

What you say is true. But it is not the reverse for those women who do not with to be Moslem. Even in the US with freedom of religion (totally different from toleration) there have been killings when some Muslim women decided to convert to a religion other than Islam. It is 100% wrong to demand the right to convert to Islam but to use the power of the state and mob for those Moslems who wish not to be Moslem.
