 I hope I haven´t been too hateful... but I don´t like people to force me neither to cover up nor open up....

 

Freedom is for everyone.

 

 It seems you are unable to rationally discuss this - you are comparing a burka to a bikini, instead of everyday clothes that people wear - the majority of which would satisfy the Quran´s requirement!  As this muslim group in Canada are saying, the burka has nothing to do with the Quran and more to do with men´s jealousy.

 

If you live in an arab country, then you must be aware that such "rules" create extremes.  It is common to see women shopping in their burkas for their tiny mini skirts, sexy tops and lingerie (much of which would be too tarty even for the west!! lol ) and going home to play the slut for their demanding husbands.  If you support this hypocracy then fine, but please dont call it "freedom for everyone"

I don´t care what those people say in Canada, but I know a lot of woman who choose to wear it.  And for those women in Canada,

the system is so great, the government will protect those women in case they call the authorities for such a push, why nobody asks for help? 

Because this is what they want.

 

Of course I am not talking about Saudi, Iran or Afghanistan, where you are forced to.

 

But why can´t your minds understand that some people believe in Islam, and do as their religion requires.

 

Well, I see lots of westerners as well here in Dubai..... you wouldn´t  believe what they are wearing.  And why can´t a women in an Abbaya (it is a long, very expensive black lose dress, comes with a matching black head scarf) shops for lingerie and shares fantasies with her husband?  Why would you call her a slut?  Don´t you do with your husband or boyfriend?

 

Is the only way to exist as a not humiliated woman is to open up?

 

And I was not comparing bikini with the normal clothes, but actually comparing it with a burquini - which is an Islamic swimwear - that was banned in France??????????

Could you tell me why you can go to the pool half naked, but not allowed if you are covered???

 

And why doesn´t anybody get bothered about nuns? the clothes are very similar, are you going to strip them off in Canada too?  I don´t think so.

 

This is what is called hypocracy.

 Of course the government protects women in Burkas - the west is far to busy being "politically correct".  It is MUSLIMS who have called for this ban!

 Again  - it is the MUSLIM COMMUNITY in Canada who are calling for this ban.  Where did I say that I don´t understand that people believe in Islam?   A burka has nothing to do with Islam - just men´s jealousy taking "covering your ornaments" to mean COVERING YOURSELF COMPLETELY because they are so insanely insecure that they cannot bear the thought of men looking at their "property".

And why doesn´t anybody get bothered about nuns? the clothes are very similar, are you going to strip them off in Canada too?  I don´t think so.

 

 Haha you are very naive if you compare Nun´s habit with Burka.  A nun wears those clothes out of her own personal choice, lives with other women, and NEVER changes out of those clothes into sexy ones as soon as the doors are closed.  She is doing it solely for her belief and her clothes do not hinder her movement - her face is not covered. 

 

As to your objection of my word "slut" - the hypocracy of the change in dress smacks of it.  But perhaps I was a bit harsh - there is a big difference between natural, mutual sexuality and enforced sexuality.  Anything that is expected and demanded of a woman sexually is not a mutual thing between husband and wife, as you so romantically put it, but verges on rape and dominance.

 

Don´t use your "islam" card to defend this issue - muslims all over the word disagree with the burka.

Just a quickie, the woman in France was not allowed to a swimming pool just as I wouldn´t be allowed there in jeans and turtle-neck. Whould you support my right to bathe in those?

 

"So you think a women is humiliated when she doesn´t show her body shape, and her beauty to every man possible on earth, and they are great when they flirt with everyone, show their body to everyone, and satisfy your eyes.

You know what, people like you have turned the women into a piece of meat, and if you are telling me that you don´t notice a womens mini skirt at work, or her breasts in a very generous top  and choose a more beautiful women rather than a fat one to employ, YOU ARE A LIAR MY FRIEND".


Yes, I think it´s humiliating for a woman to be forced to wear a bag for the comfort of men. Are you saying burka is for the protection of women? Not to make men with low self-esteem more assured that their women (I used the possessive pronoun here on purpose) remain theirs? Why it´s bad for women to show their face? Why men shouldn´t be veiled?


Oh, so freedom to decide whether to show your legs or your cleavage or not is what turns women into a piece of meat? I thought that considering them nothing but a stimulus for men´s sins does.


How can you be so blind to see that women who dress inappropriately in your view do so of choice, there is no huband/society/father behind it to tell them a woman must look slutty. They wear what they want, nobody is forced to do so. A lot of burka-wearing ladies suffer consequences if they dare  not to wrap themselves up like a present that they owner can unwrap only.


I´d be perfectly fine with headscarf - it´s not dangerous in terms of public safety - if only worn by choice. Burkas (or niqabs) are nothing but a yore men put on women because it´s more convenient for them this way.


true, I don´t know what women in NY wear and it sure is hard for me to imagine somebody would come out wearing just a thingy on his genitals. In Europe (and I have seen quite a part of it) I have never seen bikini-wearing or nude people in the streets. Sure, many girls wear tiny tops and tiny skirts but that´s what they choose to wear and I don´t see how it´s wrong? I imagine you´ll give me the media argument. But it´s not an obligation, is it?

 

What is wrong with wearing a mini skirt at work? Although, I don´t think all jobs allow it. Most have dress codes. And the idea that only the beautiful and slutty get jobs is ridiculous. As a matter of fact a lot of beautiful women with brains suffer because people like you focus only on the outside and put their success down to their looks not their brains...You are full of prejudice my friend


Thanks for calling me a lier, in your mouth it is a compliment. Burka is freedom, freedom to wear what you choose is not. Right Roll eyes

First of all:

  Burqa - does not cover the face, niqab or pardah covers the face.

"Violance against woman, Australia says no"

This is valid in Australia, and if I were to call the hotline provided, they would help me, provide me a space, provide food, and money / a job until I am well off. No matter if I am Muslim or not. No matter if I am wearing an Abaya / Burqa or not.

 

Quoting Merih

 

 But why can´t your minds understand that some people believe in Islam, and do as their religion requires.

 

 Again  - it is the MUSLIM COMMUNITY in Canada who are calling for this ban.  Where did I say that I don´t understand that people believe in Islam?   A burka has nothing to do with Islam - just men´s jealousy taking "covering your ornaments" to mean COVERING YOURSELF COMPLETELY because they are so insanely insecure that they cannot bear the thought of men looking at their "property".

 

So people can only believe in Islam according to your terms and rules, and there is no way they can believe and wear an Abaya / Burqa because they want to.

Very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 So a nun can do it only because of her believes, but when a Muslim women does it, it is because she is forced, and she is a slut in bed, 

For you information, Islam does not call any women or men not to marry if they are going to follow Islam strictly.  It allows you to maintain a normal life with belief.  And believe me if it did, they would not be married and living with other women like nuns.

As to your objection of my word "slut" - the hypocracy of the change in dress smacks of it.  But perhaps I was a bit harsh - there is a big difference between natural, mutual sexuality and enforced sexuality.  Anything that is expected and demanded of a woman sexually is not a mutual thing between husband and wife, as you so romantically put it, but verges on rape and dominance.

I think you have been wandering in the bedrooms of these women so that you know it is not normal sex but a rape and dominance every single tim.  What you don´t understand is, a women is allowed to show her beauties and share her fantasies with her husband, so she can wear mini skirts or any kind of lingerie.

You are not the one to set the rules what a Muslim women can wear in her bedroom. 

Don´t use your "islam" card to defend this issue - muslims all over the word disagree with the burka.

Like I said before, the burqa does not cover the face.  The niqab or pardah does.  And what the Muslims are against is the veil on the face, not the Abaya/ Burqa.. and if all the Muslims were against it, then who would be wearing it and why would you be worried?

Not exactly.. burquini is a swimwear, that you only wear it for swimming, made of the same swim material as bikinis, only a covered one.  If you think it is the same thing as your turtle neck and jeans, you are wrong.   And are you saying that to be able to swim you have to get naked?  Come on, be fair to yourself at least.

 

 

"So you think a women is humiliated when she doesn´t show her body shape, and her beauty to every man possible on earth, and they are great when they flirt with everyone, show their body to everyone, and satisfy your eyes.

I agree if they are forced.  What if they are not?  And I am definiteley against the face veil by the way.


Oh, so freedom to decide whether to show your legs or your cleavage or not is what turns women into a piece of meat? I thought that considering them nothing but a stimulus for men´s sins does.

I am saying that today´s society is forcing today´s women´s clothes, body image, hair color, everything.  And believe me it is stronger than a husband, or a family.

How can you be so blind to see that women who dress inappropriately in your view do so of choice, there is no huband/society/father behind it to tell them a woman must look slutty. They wear what they want, nobody is forced to do so. A lot of burka-wearing ladies suffer consequences if they dare  not to wrap themselves up like a present that they owner can unwrap only.

And how do you know it?  Please, did you talk to every one of those women who are wearing Abayas?  Because I talked to, and I know lots of westerners in where I live, who were women like you, and married some very rich Arabs from here, (sometimes second wife), happily showing off their very expensive Abaya´s, and believe me they are as clever and educated as yourselves, but nobody is ever complaining.

 

I´d be perfectly fine with headscarf - it´s not dangerous in terms of public safety - if only worn by choice. Burkas (or niqabs) are nothing but a yore men put on women because it´s more convenient for them this way.

So, may be we should change Islam according to your views.  Please list how would you like the Muslim women to be dressed, and may be how to practice their religion too???  What would be more public safe?

 

true, I don´t know what women in NY wear and it sure is hard for me to imagine somebody would come out wearing just a thingy on his genitals.

I have no problems with women who wear tiny sexy clothes, and I have no problem who prefer not to wear them.  You have the problem.  You think they are allowed to choose, but the others are not public-safe.  Do you hear what you are saying?

 

What is wrong with wearing a mini skirt at work? Although, I don´t think all jobs allow it. Most have dress codes. And the idea that only the beautiful and slutty get jobs is ridiculous. As a matter of fact a lot of beautiful women with brains suffer because people like you focus only on the outside and put their success down to their looks not their brains...You are full of prejudice my friend

Well, no women suffer because they are only beautiful, they suffer when they show their privates to everyone in public and flirt with everyone instead of showing off their brains.


Thanks for calling me a lier, in your mouth it is a compliment. Burka is freedom, freedom to wear what you choose is not. Right Roll eyes

 

 I think freedom is freedom, it does not choose color, race and religion.  You want to wear a mini skirt, wear it, and allow the other one to wear what they want.  Live and let live...  You can´t have freedom one sided.

By the way, I am not a burqa wearing woman, I don´t cover my head, and I don´t wear Muslim clothings.  But I do think if I have a right not to wear, then there should exist the right to wear.

And you don´t have jealous husbands, pushy families in Europe, in US, in Canada or else where?  The women never get raped by their husbands???  The husbands never force you to wear in a particular way?? ETC..

 

There are bad people everywhere, and you can not group them only as the husbands or the father´s of burqa wearing women?

 

And the practice in a well known Arab country - is not correct, they are abusive and male oriented.  Women has no name,and I condemn them to encourage extremism of islam.

 The way you reply makes it impossible to quote you point by point - but I get the feeling it is a wasted exercise anyway.  Go on with your misguided belief that burkas are part of Islam if that makes you happy canim - you are not worth any more of my time

 Yes there are bad men everywhere - but to support a culture which persists in the degradation of women and regards them as possessions and second class citizens really does not help women does it? You crazy?
