hahahah this guy is so funny (not!)..i used to wear short skirts etc, and i was degraded by nearly every man (including married men)-then i found islam..and realised hijab (veil) is a protection for women. I no longer feel demoralised, degraded, objectified..i feel honoured, respected, and i never have to put up with men flirting with me..alhamdulillah.

what a pitiful and stupid man. I commend my dear Muslim sister for standing up for her rights as a MUSLIM WOMAN MASHALLAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@FatihMedia I'm glad you do :))

[FatihMedia]

@ZolotoeSolnce I agree highly with you :D

[ZolotoeSolnce]

@FatihMedia I agree that many young women want to be seen by men, because they are proud in their appearance and feel their power of freedom and choice. It does not always go right, but that is a matter of finding the right orientiers in life. Maybe some lessons in Ethics at school would help.. but I think it's better than being constantly indulgant as a woman. I bet it's not only unnatural for us, even for a raised gentleman that must be boring..

@ZolotoeSolnce It's hard to see or tell, but women here want to be seen by man. That's why men start to hunt at them and you get broken families. Children who grow up without a father and then they do the same thing like their father did with their mom. That's the big downside of freedom, but I'm sure there can be done something against it as I'm a libertarian myself.

@FatihMedia That is true, but in the west women are not expected to adjust themselves to the need and will of the man or protect themselves from it. I guess that's the difference..

[FatihMedia]

@ZolotoeSolnce Western man can't control their sexual energy too.

[ZolotoeSolnce]

Could anyone please explain me why a woman should wear a hijab before she can be seen as worthy and treated with dignity by the man? I have the feeling that the muslim man is stated as a creature incompetent of controling his sexual energy and that a woman needs to protect herself from him. Is it not possible for a woman to be as she is, beautiful and strong in her natural appearance as the man is, without hiding herself and protecting of being degraded?  Was a woman not created equal to a man?

AHHHHHHHHHHHH I WANT MUSLIM WOMEN WHO CAN FIND ANOTHER WOMEN FOR MR NEEDS

[glower125]

@IbnUthmani YOU TRULY BLESSED WITH A GOOD WIFE BROTHER. MY WIFE IS JUST LIKE THAT, SHE IS EDUCATED, HAS A LAW DEGREE FROM NYU YET SHE DECIDED TO STAY HOME AND TAKE CARE OF CHILDREN. I DON'T THINK THERE IS A MAN ALIVE ON THIS PLANET THAT CAN WALK OVER HER OR MATCH HER WIT. MUSLIM WOMEN ARE THE STRONGEST I HAVE EVER SEEN. WITH ALL THE RACISM OUT THERE ARE THEY WEAR HIJAB GO TO SCHOOLS AND WORK RIDE IN THE TRAIN WHILE EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT THEM..NOT EVEN MEN ARE THAT STRONG.

THESE WESTERNERS THINK A WOMAN OWN HER MAN OR VICE VERSA. THIS IS MATERIALISTIC IDEOLOGY.
