Quoting alameda: Quoting thehandsom:
well.
That is what I am against 100% about Islam.
My sister wears skirts for example.
According to what it is saying that she is immoral and not modest.
And I know, most of these strict muslims think the same way.
Then how can Islamic women and men can cry for sympathy when they are treating all other women, who are not like them, like prostitutes?
Annoying, primitive and intolerant!!

Gee handsome, is that what you think Islam is about? From my experience the wearing of covering does not equate to an automatic "good woman". There are also actions. I was amazed to see many prostitutes in Morocco who were totally veiled. They were quite able to get their message over even with nothing but eyes showing.
Actually, I have met many Muslims who were quite tolerant to uncovered women. As I said, it's not the cloth as much as the attitude. |
Alameda, why don`t you go to Fatih or Sultanbeyli wearing a skirt (let alone miniskirt, that would be an invitation to lynch) and without headscarf. I`m wondering how long will you be able to survive. Have you ever heard of these places? They are in Istanbul, not somewhere close to the Iraq border.

Quoting Roswitha: Islam teaches Inner Beauty….
A covered woman in Islam is a sign of purity and dignity. It highlights the Muslim woman as a pure, chaste woman and sets her apart from the immoral behavior associated with women who dress immodestly.
It is a sort of screen between the chaste Muslim woman and the evil that exists in this world. When a woman covers herself, she is less likely to be exploited for her beauty and femininity.
The cover cuts down on competition among women. How many people in the West sacrifice financial savings and health in order to have plastic surgery - in a desperate attempt to meet up to an unrealistic standard of beauty?
IN ISLAM, WOMEN ARE APPRECIATED FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE, FAITHFULLNESS AND CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY
Islam teaches us that the most beautiful women are not necessarily the most popular. Rather, she is assessed for her mind, and not just her outer beauty…

Really? It's like that there? If so, I'm really sad to hear it. Turkey has been famous for it's tolerance. Maybe I should check these places out in the future.

or maybe you shouldn`t check these places out. Belive me you won`t miss anything.
But Alameda let me tell you something; there is no tolerance or peace in religion no matter what religion it is. Sultanbeyli is not different from a Christian monastery in this respect.

Well with the world getting smaller, we are going have to learn to get along. I do believe that t the root or heart of all the worlds great religions tolerance is taught. I think that when politicians get hold of it, things change.
Certainly there are many examples, like, Yunus Emre was very tolerant.

just to clear it up, Yunus Emre had nothing to do with religion but philosophy and poetry. He was a Bektasi, and Bektasizm is not a religion.

It shouldn't matter whether a woman is covered or not, but it won't be achieved until women have the right (not only legally but socially) to unveil. If you can be as safe wearing burka as not wearing it, it's a sign of tolerance. If taking it off makes you prone to being treated like immoral and results in hostility then it's not tolerance.
Many times people refer to burkas as personal choice or show photos of happy women swimming in a sack. I wonder if their husbands would be ok with them wearing bikini instead. It is not a free choice if you choose to wear a cover because it's socially advisable.
I loved the mixture of cultures in Turkey, covered women walking step by step with women in mini skirts. That is a sign of tolerance. Yet, Turks say that Turkish women are not so free to show too much body, so I guess there's still lots to change in people's mentality.
