Hijab and Oppression of Women in Islam

Head covering is part of faith in God. Nuns cover their heads, Mary (mother of Christ) covered her head. These are religious women, and if you ask them, they will tell you its THEIR choice. Go ahead and ask them.

1) 2-12 million of women are beaten in America
2) close to 1/3 of married women in the US will be beaten by their husband at least once.
3) Oppression is a result of male dominated societies and not faith. We as males need to learn not to be so controlling and to treat our women well.

Holy Quran (2:228):
And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women.

A good video im impressed. If a women chooses to wear a nijab shes not oppressed, but I think if women are made to then they are.

I guess there is a lot of sexism in the world, especially towards women but i think its largely affected by social attitudes and beliefs and what people are usually brought up to be influenced by.

i agree 100%. The beauty pageants always have a swimsuit part because society has decided that a woman's beauty is judged by removal of her clothes. Its not right impressing the youth that its not about how intelligent/successful you are, but instead making sure you have your fat deposits in the right areas of the body.

lol im no muslim but im very happy u stood up for them!

nice job

let god always be with you.

uh, you are basing it on their 'hijab law' i'm assuming? you are confusing religion with cultural politics.

like how in america, its wrong to have more than one wife, yet its okay to have girlfriends while married. whats the difference? one is illegal, the other isnt. cultural politics.

peace be with you.

@Florencethomas405 Thank you for actually coming to a logical conclusion! I respect people like you. Also sometimes even culture is only just half of it. Most importantly it's just: bad people are bad people. good people are good people. Regardless of culture or religion bad will be bad and good will be good unless they decide to change on their own.

Men commit suicide 5 times more than women. I think that's quite the obvious indication that the oppression of men is a much bigger problem than the oppression of women.

[tpstrat14]

Women are not objects to be acted upon. They are rational human beings that can choose for themselves, just like men. To say that "women are victims of men in the modern family" is to support this objectified view of women.

CONTD

When Prophet , pbuh, sent her invitation, she said,"I am an old woman (Not worthy for you),I have many children (Will be a burden for you )and I am a jealous woman (As you have other wives too )

The Prophet pbuh, said,"If u r old, I am older than u,Children belong to Allah's Prophet, and Allah will remove jealousy from yr heart"

Then she agreed.All his marriages were for political reasons or for strengthening the ties with friends.

Islam was invented by Allah.(God)

Unfortunetly i have met 3 muslim men who have treated as if im worthless because Im a women. I wont blame the religion as such, but their beliefs of me being inferior to them are wrong. I think its to do with the culture they were brought up in and influenced by.

[Florencethomas405]

Brunettehoney, it is wrong to blame a woman for being raped when the responsibility of the rapist would be 100% not 90%. no rape victim should be made responsible for what happened, not even by 10%

All religions were invented by men and all religions hold women to be inferior. When I was a girl, I was raised as a Catholic. I was forced to cover my head when I went to church. It wasn't a choice by girls and women. It was imposed by the men who ran the church. Religion= male domination.
