Here is a, I think, fantastic set of three videos about the issue of Islamic veil. I am posting this not to create an argument, but to hear people's opinion about the veil. (If you are planning to post derogatory messages, please do not post at all). My opinion correlates with what is said in the videos:
Islamic Veil, part 1
Islamic Veil, part 2
Islamic Veil, part 3

Quoting Rocco Siffredi: why don't you wear veil on your head, catwoman? you are very curious with these kinda topics. just try yourself, and share your experiences. |
Rocco, this is none of your business, ok? If you don't have anything intelligent to say, please spare the space for other people. I am not going to tolerate your primitive personal attacks on me.

Good to see how you are helping in making it a civilized conversation. And then you will go and start another thread about how badly you are treated!

Although I do sometimes find Catwoman's email a bit hard myself sometimes (as I do with many peoples posts here), on this occasion, she has simple asked for opinions.
Surprisingly no "opinions" are given, but immediate digs to Cat.
Shame!
I can't add a comment about the videos because unfortunately, last time I looked, youtube was still banned in Turkey - so much for freedom !

I propose a veil burning. Clearly women are oppressed by being forced and see no other option to wear these. It makes me sick, that I have everyday stresses about work, maintaining my car, paying my bills and deciding when to go grocery shopping.
But my god... my stress puts things in a whole new perspective after listening to these women. I can't fathom the thought of feeling forced to cover myself and what the consequences would be if I did not obey. My father or brother killing me? These people are indeed sick.
Even if it's their own choice, I do find the message they send to be degrading to women who have fought so hard for our society to treat women as equals. If there are other valid reasons that I'm not aware please let me know, what the purpose is for the veil then?
