Freedom of choice is funny if you ask me, I want to cover myself but it’s not under the title freedom.. I’m not mentally unstable, I have a high IQ thank you very much, and I need to underline the point, I WAS NEVER EVER told or hit etc to wear a niqaab. Yet I wanted to do it. Why? The same reason people want to get Gucci or whatever, because they want to copy something they LIKE.
And no, we do not cover for men, we do not believe we have to cover because men will get sins, we do it for ourselves and for our Lord.
Please don’t bring out stories about Imaams and such forcing girls to cover, that is not what Muslims should be doing at any rate and it is not right to use examples like that. There’s always some new news about some priest somewhere doing just what you mentioned..but it would be childish of me to use that to counter-argue.. Please use proper arguments =)
You know, it’s been a looooong time that we’ve been debating! I’m thinking we’re going to have to agree to disagree!
]]>I wear the Niqab/Burqa. I don’t really feel that hot in it during summer
Well, whatever you say… 🙄
I am a convert so I’ve been on both sides of the street and really it’s the same feeling as if I wasn’t wearing one in regards to heat/sweat.
Whatever you say… 🙄
As for Vit D , When I was pregnant my doctor said to me it’s very common for women covered or not to have Vit D deficiancy, and anyway we have backyards, we do take them off and we go get sun. We do not live in the garment 24/7.
Well, in Jordan, a study has actually discovered that:
A Jordanian study published this week asserted that 87% of women between the ages of 18 and 70 in Jordan suffer from a lack of Vitamin D as a result of insufficient sun exposure and not enough milk consumption.
87% suffer from lack of Vitamin D for insufficient sun exposure and not enough milk consumption. That is the result of wearing that “practical” and very “comfortable” robe specially in hot weathers. I’m not saying it: a JORDAN study has found that.
Regards to ‘feeling liberated’ I actually do, because I do not have pesky random men come up and try hit on me, ask my name /number-of course not all men are like this but I had a hard time when I was a Christian and also when I just started Islam and wearing only the Hijab.
Well, who are you? Britney Spears? Or Rihanna? Because I’m sure that if you dress in a normal way (no mini-mini-mini-skirts, no high-high-high-heels, normal make-up, normal haircut, etc), you’re not followed throught the streets by herds of men wanting your phone number. Do be serious, please. 😆
As for men, they have their ‘hijab’s too they need to wear a long dress/thobe and a hat , have a beard and have pants that finish above the ankles. And many other things too.
As if that was the same as having a blank blanket over you, with which you’re unable to have a normal vision, that doesn’t let you even run if you lose the bus and that makes you feel like you’re a walking tent. Those guys who dress like that are call here “taliban”, because those items are tipically displayed by guys in Afghanistan.
Anyway, last year I was at the beach, There comes a Muslim family, she was TOTALLY COVERED, not even she got her shoes off. But the husband was on his swimsuit, like any other men in the beach. She didn’t get on the water, but he did. Yeah, I’m sure it’s the same… 🙄
]]>Hello, Cnvn. Thanks for your kind words. Whatever the reasons they always express about their “free will” to wear that, I just can’t understand them.
In Lérida (a Spanish town located in Catalonia), the imam kicks the girls who are 6 or 7 years old because they are not covered by hijab or because they wear T-shirts that let their shoulders nude. Their parents protested but he told them that they were provoking the men. In that case, those men are paedophiles, so the danger are those men, not the little girls.
It’s disgusting (and sad, very sad), but hey, look at them, they are actually defending that kind of practice… 😦

In an effort to improve awareness about these human rights violations and to solicit support for that cause, the following site provides further details:

We do get breeze through the garment, it’s just a piece of cloth tied to the face, so wind comes under to the mouth/nose/cheeks, and the dress (abaya) is like a normal dress so as normal long dresses wind goes up them , down the sleeves. Wind goes under the Hijab (scarf) also, how many times I have to hold my Hijab down when the wind blows.
A lot of us choose to wear it, I wore it before I married and I come from a family who are non practicing Christians.
