Stop sarcasm about Niqab, start dialog

You might be aware that the UK is puzzled as to how it should react, forbid or authorize the Niqab. I, myself, am not sure wether the Niqab is only a matter of faith, and I do believe that many women, especially in the UK, wear it by choice. It is a significant choice, an eloquent choice. What is it saying? What is it calling for ? -- if ever you agree to consider that it might be calling for something. This video calls for sarcasms to stop and for dialog to start, apparently there is a lot to be said, especially when you hear Mrs Al Shaikh, a Nigabi interviewed by the Herald Tribune, saying:
"For me it not just a piece of clothing, it is an act of faith and solidarity". Another anonymous woman said : "It is a frontal expression of Islamic Identity, which I have embraced since Sept.11 2001, as a form of rebellion against the policies in Iraq and at home".

Whoever made this video needs to do some research before posting, in a couple of cities in Saudi Arabia(Maqqa and Madina) it is forbidden for any non-muslims to enter and trespassing will lead to direct execution.

This video calls for sarcasm about Niqab to stop. Is that an indication that there is no place for humor in Jizzlam?

Wearing black hefty bags in desert regions is more than just a fashion statement; it is also extremely practical. The women are slowly cooked by clean solar energy. They are usually tender, juicy and ready to serve by late afternoon. They are delicious when accompanied by chilled camel urine.

@MiketheHawk u cnt enter..because the creator forbid the holy land for bon muslims..those who claim he has associates and son. when u take ur shahada..ur welcome to come in. BUT UR ALLOWED TO GO OTHER BESIDE MAKKA AND MADINA. but still no filth is allowed.

@sophizzy ur own bible asks you to cover..if u dont gospel of john says shave her head...how do jew dress? and nans? EXACTLY. well if u like nude pics on magz. than thats not allowed. ur Gospel even says '' ur making adultery by lookn at the women parts'' So we muslims follow our religion..if sum muslims dont then thats their issue..same with christians who like filth...than all d best. if u say freedom is in d west..then let them wear how they please

[amine140685]

@AhmadSherif u dont sound like a muslim....islam is to surrender to the law of ur creator..and fear him..not surrender to the law of society and fear creation. U said muslims who dont follow lettr by letter?? never heard of that. in quran..says 'says ''obey me and obey the prophet'' if ur a shame than u explain to Allah swt. not to us.

Then it's a conflict between two cultures , one calling for nudity and treat women as a product and a sex tool and another calling for covering up , respect and sex only after marriage. choose ur side.

No you aren't! I lived in Saudi Arabia where my father worked. The religious police are everywhere. You aren't even allowed to bring in women's magazines with models on the front - they are taken out or your luggage.

Having said that, I would never disobey the rules of any country I live in. If you don't like it don't live there! The West is secular with Christian roots where women and men are equal. If you are a Muslim and you can't accept that, don't live there.

technically she is allowed not to wear hijab. but you will stick out, so most people just wear it when they are there.
