 Why is a Muslim wearing a Turban? Unsure

 

Actually a lot of Muslims wear turbans Libralady....didn´t you notice all the turbans in the Ottoman graves in Turkey?  However, in this case it looks more like a costume from kitch casting to me than an authentic Islamic turban.  I have met more than a few of these people dressed up like super Muslims, and have found more often than not, their actual knowledge of Islam to be very lacking.  It annoys me that they run around calling themself Muslim and dressing like clowns in outfits that evolved for a particular purpose of which they have no knowledge of.

 

I would not say they are not Muslim, only Allah knows the secrets in their hearts, but they don´t have much of an knowledge regarding the a terbiye of Islam.

This point is not even slightly true, totally wrong, especially the bolded part. The ones who think kurdish fascism and terrorism will come to an end by this government´s initiative are just dreaming. Its not the initiative of Turkey but US, orders are from there. Its just a step of BOP to secure US´s Kurdish watchdogs.  As i said before they cleaned the area from Turks and from the control of Turkish authorities by terrorism, now the process is legalizing terrorism, PKK terrorists were told either to join Barzani or to cave in Turkish authorities(of course they were granted to be free) and remaining ones will continue to smuggle drugs and to terrorize Turkey under the control of big boys.

 

Btw what is that special treatment?  Do we need to provide feeding bottle as well? In Spain Basks are still not happy Wink...

2. The US government has done a huge job to make amends and provide equal opportunities

and

Turkish government is going in the right direction but is not even half way as close to provide special treatment for Kurds as the US is in case of black people

Actually, in the Ottoman Empire, only the important and rich people wore what you call "turban", and those decorated tombs again belonged to the rich and important people as the poor couldn`t even have afforded it. I think those turban figures on tomb stones are also a sign of statute. as for the turban worn today, I`ve never seen a muslim wearing it in Turkey or America. The sikh hear wear something like a turban but it`s much different. it looks more like a black panthose wrapped on the head Ninja

I am sure you are most probably correct regarding the turban as a status symbol in the Ottoman empire, however......there are quite a few Islamic groups who wore, and still wear, turbans today.....

 

Have you not seen the many photographs of men in Afghanistan? Have you seen photos from the Bedu of Arabia? Have you ever seen the Tuareg of North Africa?

 

The Sikh turban has very stringent guides....and is mandatory for them to wear. The black panthose you mentioned is for the style for a youth, not a man.
