Hey i want to introduce a new topic inspired by a channel 4 programme which is called 'make me a muslim' I don't know if anyone watched it but the idea of the show is to challenge non muslims to live as muslims for 3 weeks.With this in mind they were encouraging British women to wear the Hijab.
I found this really interesting wearing the hijab myself sometimes when family situations demand it and i don't have a problem with it in fact i like it i find it does stop some of the staring and helps to show the respect for him that i don't want anyone else appreciating me except him.I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this or the wider issues of clothing,modesty etc in western secular society as opposed to more eastern muslim countries.I would also like to ask where does Turkey fit into all this? Any thoughts?

I find for myself that modesty is the best policy. I did not see the program that you mentioned but I am wondering....does wearing hijab make you muslim?

No of course wearing the hijab won't make you a muslim just as much as wearing a cross won't make you a christian.On my part anyway it is mearly an expression to my partner that i understand,respect and often enjoy experiencing his culture and religion.

This program sounds strange. With all the problems with muslims in europe, they are encouraging Brits to become muslims and wear hijab, not the other way round . I wonder who's behind it! I bet it's the Saudi royal family.

Its never a wrong idea to introduce people to each others customs, because this can lead to understanding and toleration. However, since Im already against the concept of hijab anyway, and since it goes against the basic ideas of equality between men and women, I am very surprised it is encouraged.
Sera, do you really need to put on a scarf to show your man that you are only for him? Because saying this implies you think that when not covering your head, you 'offer' yourself to other men.
I will never put on a headscarf (well I do but just when it rains and is too windy for umbrella or when I forget ), nor will I ever offer myself to any other than the one I love. And the fact that I love, carries the so called meaning of hijab in it.

Lol i doubt it.It was on a british TV channel which goes through seasons of different programmes this particular one is under the 'umbrella' of belief.They have all sorts of different things like a talent seasons about music and some about history etc plus showing lots of other programmes.Its very mainstream and i am sure any of my fellow Brits would agree.It was like a challenge to get a group of Brits to understand,learn and live as Muslims for 3 weeks.

I totally understand your points and so much for bringing them up.Firstly your comment about me wearing a scarf.This is something i do out of respect for him,he doesnt force me to do it i simply want to.To address what you said about me offering myself to men when i am not covered is one i understand but do not agree with.I am obviously never offering myself to anyone other than my fiance however i find there are alot less looks from people when i am covered.perhaps because it is more difficult to see that i am foreign and to be honest that probably gets just as many looks as anything else.I think you are missing the point about dressing modestly. The Quran states that both men and women should dress modestly and in womens case this involves them covering their hair.It is not about opression as so many western people think.It is in fact the opposite,it is liberation! Women who wear the hijab are covering themselves in order to be freed from the sexual looks and thoughts of men.
I know that wearing the costume won't stop men thinking what they want but it will certainly help them to think about something else.However saying that i do take your points and agree to an extent that a woman should not have to wear something just to stop men thinking sexual thoughts because they shouldnt be thinking things like that in the beginning.Women are not just pieces of meat to be salivated over,we are people too! But i also agree with the idea that dressing modestly creates an atmosphere where sexual thoughts are less likely to be thought and therefore one is less likely to be seen as a sexual object.

I guess I have a problem with the title "make me a muslim", which really suggests nothing about understanding how muslims live, but has a clear message of trying to convert people to Islam.

Btw I later saw that you do it just sometimes as a sign of respect for his culture and religion, so Im just stating these in general and they have nothign to do with you. I think it is good to make small signs that though you are different you can see from their point of view too.
But by acknowledging the fact it is worn to cast off mens looks, and then still putting on a scarf, to me it means you silently agree that its your fault you are beautiful and that it is your fault that men HAVE to look at you.
I wear rather modest clothes and will never 'exhibit' goods that are not for sale. And then again, its their loss, they can only look

It is a hidden form of oppression because it subjugates women in insidious ways. It asks women to cover themselves up as something innocent and noble, but in effect creating a system of social oppression where men get the message that it's ok for them to treat women as rape-meat and it's women's responsibility to try to avoid that.

I think that you have raised some important issues.I think some people hold that women who wear sexy clothes and show lots of flesh are openly inviting rape and assault.I could not disagree with this more and find this statement disgusting and offensive.
I totally support a womens right to wear what ever she wants however i am simply saying that for me and many other women i sometimes like to cover my hair just out of respect for example when i am going to visit his grandparents or going to a family grave for example as well as some days when i feel like it.I know many of my young 'modern' turkish female friends tell me i am crazy and they don't wear it because its too traditional and religious.Yet they still find themselves helping their mothers make dinner and doing most if not all of the chores.Hmm seems they are willing to do some things and not others.

Out of respect for me, my husband supports my refusal to ever set foot in a mosque. I love my husband and respect his culture, but I don't feel like I have to demean myself so that he knows I respect him. To cover yourself because of some insane idea that you give a man sexual thoughts is outrageous! NOBODY can control the thoughts and feelings of another human being.

Just a shame you will never see a programme inside the islamic regions of the UK, making a three week programme asking them to live like an English person/Christian or Jew. I agree with understanding each other cultures, but where is the balance these days?

I don't see wearing the scarf as demeaning.Quite the opposite,i know he likes me to dress modestly which doesnt bother me at all because i do anyway.However if i wanted to wear something he didnt 100% approve of i would! He would never tell me how to dress just as i don't tell him how to.However i do believe in a little compromise for example if he was to point out to me that we were attending an occasion which he and his family felt demanded that i wear a scarf then i would of course.I am not saying that one can control the thoughts of another human being however whats the harm in dressing so decrease the liklihood that sexual thoughts will be in the mind.I want to be taken seriously just as much as the next person does, not to have someone staring at my boobs because i choose to display them like a pair of prize melons.However as i have said previously i fully support a woman who wishes to dress in that way as it is her choice.

If you want to wear a scarf, Sera, that is your business. I will never put a scarf on to be taken seriously. If a place or occasion demanded that I wear one, I would not go. If my husbands family does not understand that, that's just to bad. I respect their right to wear one...I would never ask them not to. They are invited to functions in my family regardless of how they dress. If they feel uncomfortable, they can certainly decline. I do understand what your saying Sera, but I have lived long enough in this world to know that there are somethings I can never compromise...I can compromise about not having pork in my house and how strong the coffee is but I will never ever compromise on hijab. If I am not welcome as I am...I will not go.

If you are insinuating that the Islamic culture or religion is in any way promoting violence or having anything to do with viewing terrorism in a positive light then you are totally incorrect and acting in a very irresponsible and offensive way.Islam means peace.Its only the view of ignorant western people that suggest it is anything otherwise.Oh and just incase anyone didnt know terrorism started long before 9/11.

I am very surprised to hear this Sera from you. What you are saying is just wishful thinking... Tell me, do you think that Christianity in Middle Ages was in any way responsible for the crusades or burning people on stocks for "heretic ideas" and "witchcraft"? I hope you say yes... The situation with Islam these days is EXACTLY the same.
Sera, have you watched the video foamy posted? How in a world do you explain this situation then? A little tiny reason to think that islam IS responsible for the barbaric behavior of muslim immigrants in Europe would be the fact that THEY SAY IT IS!

I was not or will ever give you shit,as you put it.I was simply pointing out that the opinion that Islam is a faith with is in support of terrorist activities and believes in such terrible things is just not factually correct.Islam is a peaceful religion.There are however a small minority of extremists who wish to corrupt the religion and take part in negative/illegal activities in its name thus making many think that this behaviour is representative of the whole religion when it is not.I may be western but by no means am i ignorant.

I don't view this selective quoting business as conclusive proof of anything.Anyone can find a quote from somewhere take it out of context and make it fit what they want to say.There are so many things in all the holy texts which could be used in support or defence of these actions and many other moral situations such as abortion etc which i am sure we all remember talking about a while ago.

That is true, you can find barbaric verses in all scriptures. Unfortunately in the case of Islam, many people take those verses seriously and act based on them.

Be yourself...or risk being a poor substitution for a Turkish bride. Don't try to be one of them. Be yourself and be proud...at least you will sleep well at night and never worry if you are good enough.

Look at it like this. Please take the time to actually THINK about it.
The dominant culture that is now in power is Polynesian, or some African Nubian culture where hardly any garments are worn. How would you feel bare breasts, belly exposed and more?
Different cultures have different degrees of bodily exposure they are comfortable with. To some women in the Islamic cultures, exposing their hair, neck and other bodily parts is tantamount to being naked.
Would you like to HAVE to bare your breasts? It's a matter of personal privacy for many.

The point that you seem to be missing is that in every culture except Islam, nobody HAS to wear anything. You can cover up or not, but it is YOUR CHOICE.
You just provided an imaginary example of a culture where you HAVE to dress a particular way.
Easterners talk about western women as if they are walking around in mini skirts and bikinis all the time! Most of the time, women are equally covered up - but they are wearing exactly what they want to, for no other reason than because it pleases them.

I think the fundamental difference would be that I would not assume that these Polynesian woman are a bunch of whores for bearing there breasts. I feel like there is a tendency for Islamic people to think that Western woman are a bunch of evil sex maniacs because we don't cover up.

The only similarity is that we have finally abolished our ancient, sexist ideas about how a women should behave and dress. Go back far enough in history of any country and you will find a time when we all had to wear veils, headscarfs and long clothes.

Also many covered women wear make-up. And many covered women are completely covered and what is covering them is sooo tight we get to see exactly what they are covering.
I see covered women smoking, holding hands with their boyfriends, making out in public parks and all the other things that uncovered women do.
So what is the point of covering? I feel that women should cover if they want. But this notion that they are invisible to the world and sexual fantasy of men is totally ridiculous!

You are Soooooooooo right! I've seen "working ladies" quite veiled. They were conducting "brisk business" as well. One can be covered with cloth and be naked, or not covered and be covered.
I would draw the line at functionality. If your skirt or sleeves are so long it causes hazards I would seriously question it. If your face is covered in such a manner you are like the The Lone Ranger or Zorro I'd question that too.

Why nuns wears clothes as muslims? You know they wear a headscarf and clothes which covers the whole body and something like that.

It IS obligatory to women to wear hijab or burka in Islamic states Umut. It is also obligatory to at least "cover your adnornments" if you are a muslim woman.
With regard to Nuns it is completely different! Nuns CHOOSE to devote their lives to God and are "married" to Jesus. They choose to never have a relationship with a man and to devote their lives to God completely. They do not HAVE to live their lives this way, they choose to.

So there is no difference dear. If you are muslim it means its your choose as the nuns ha. If you choose islam, you should obey its rules. Nuns choose to be a candidate and they are doing what they should. And muslim women choose islam and they are doing what they should. There is no difference ha.

You may not care about Islamic states, but a high percentage of Islam is represented by them. I am well aware that Turkey do not consider hijab or burka as compulsory (and that other Islamic countries regard Turkish as bad muslims!!). However, headscarf represents exactly the same thing - a woman having to cover herself.
Umut you may like to believe that most people have CHOSEN their religion, but in fact 99% of people do not chose their religion. They are born into a culture or country of that religion and are raised to believe in that "god".
The most devout muslim, if born in the UK for example, would most certainly now be a christian or atheist. Religion is about culture 99% of the time, and people, like sheep, follow the crowd and never explore other possibilities.
Now - let me explain about nuns! The reason they cover themselves is because it teaches them to lose all vanity and concentrate on God rather than themselves. It has absolutely nothing to do with men (or their passions!). They have to shave their heads (or cut hair very short) and cover everything except the face. This is very similar to Budhist monks' reasons for shaving their heads and wearing simple robes.

Umut, it is very rare for someone to move away from their culture and upbringing (especially in a religious society) to change their religion. They will always believe that the "god" they knew as a child is the only true one.
I also have respect for other people's religion, when it is of free will, personal choice and does not involve trying to persuade others to join, or include sexism, hypocracy, harm to another person or creature and war.
...which unfortunately means I have little respect.
With regards to nuns, as I tried to explain they are not covering their heads because they are waiting for Jesus. It may be HARD for you to understand, but they are NOT covering themselves because of men. They are covering themselves to remove their personal vanity and to free their minds to concentrate solely on God. They are actually a very liberated, self-sufficient group of women.

Yes you do - but don't expect to learn about Christianity from reading the Bible.
Unfortunately, like Islam and the Quran, MEN have interpreted and created their own religion, to their own benefit, which has little to do with the original teachings of the bible.
As an example, read the Bible again and then tell me what it has to do with Catholicism?

Just so you know...nuns are NOT required to wear coverings. Many choose to because they have voluntarily sacrificed having a husband and children to devote themselves to God. They choose the veil as an outward symbol of that choice. I have a cousin who is a nun and she wears regular conservative street clothes.

When i talked about people coming up with their own opinions i was not refering to you Fem,you misunderstood my post. In my opinion there is nothing immodest about the photos on my profile.I don't see anything wrong with them,just because i am not wearing a veil doesnt mean that i am not modest.
When i refered to muslim dress in the wider sense i was talking about male/female coverings and from country to country e.g. how clothes are worn,what is exceptable in which parts of the world.For example i am aware that Asian,African dress etc is practiced in the Diasphora rather than the country or continent of origin.Also as this thread demonstrates it varies widly depending upon who is interpreting the teachings and what the exisiting culture,dress code etc is of the country in which a person may be living.For example a muslim woman living in the UK or U.S may wear the veil but also wear western clothes such as jeans etc rather than the full muslim dress.

Iran: Top cleric says women without veils must die
Tehran, 19 Dec. (AKI) - A top Muslim cleric in Iran, Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani said on Wednesday that women in Iran who do not wear the hijab or Muslim headscarf, should die.
'Women who do not respect the hijab and their husbands deserve to die,' said Hassani, who leads Friday prayers in the city of Urumieh, in Iranian Azerbaijan.
'I do not understand how these women who do not respect the hijab, 28 years after the birth of the Islamic Republic, are still alive,' he said.
'These women and their husbands and their fathers must die,' said Hassani, who is the representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in eastern Azerbaijan.
Hassani's statements came after two Kurdish feminists in Iran were accused of being members of an armed rebel group and of carrying out subversive activities threatening the security of the state.
It is believed that his statements and the arrests could spark a fresh crackdown on women who do not repect the Islamic dress code in Iran.
Thousands of women in Iran have already been warned this year for their 'un-Islamic dress' such as wearing tight, short coats and skimpy headscarves.

I thought the programme was really interesting,as a regualar viewer of the network this show was aired on i know the kind of stuff they make and they tend to like performing social experiments are someone else called it.They also did a 'God' season in which a professor in Britian spent about 6 or 8 programmes trying to disprove God,the Bible and everything else connected with it.Very interesting also.I did think the tile of the show is question 'make me a Muslim' was perhaps choosen in bad taste however i suppose they did it to get viewers.Hmm there are two sides to everything.

Yes they do portray a very strict way of practicing Islam.So in that way it is distorted because not everyone practices in that way.The public view is Islam is not wonderful yes (in my experience anyway and i would not include myself in that obviously) but i would like to think that the programme makers were trying to educate people of tell them something about Islam even if it not exactly as everyone practices/interprets it.
If you watch all 3 programmes you will see that one of the people who takes part has quite negative views of Islam at the start and by the end he is much more accepting of it because he understands what its about to an extent.In that way it can be a useful tool for educating but only when taken with a lot of other sources and awareness that perhaps not everything you are being shown is exactly what goes on in actual Muslim's lives because obviously the situation they find themselves in is very artificial and won't be the same as actually being a person of that faith.

The main "guide" or what it is they call him doesn't seem to live according to islam even and I don't think any devoted muslims would approve of much they are doing in the program. What they do is just focus on the stuff everyone knows like no alcohol, no pork, when showing prayer it's the sujud position...there are so many signs that it's not a serious program. It doesn't look like they actually want to teach people anything about the essence of islam. At the beginning of the clip one of the participants may be wearing a cloth around her head but it's certaintly not hijab...so many things. I doubt the guide person is an actual imam.
It's great that oen of the participants changed their view a little but they are still showing a false imge of islam.

This program sounds strange. With all the problems with muslims in europe, they are encouraging Brits to become muslims and wear hijab, not the other way round . I wonder who's behind it! I bet it's the Saudi royal family. |

the tv programme didnt show islam as a terrorist religion, but opposite it shwoed it a very soft version.
the imam tried to show it more westernised way, you sure know that muslims arent that soft and patient in real.
the british convert has shown her "great" patience toward the new comers.
the true islam is in saudi arabia

I wonder if Femme has ever met a 'REAL Muslim' or a person who practices the religion at all. Bashing a religion as a whole is just stupid. To understand another religion you have to be willing to suspend your current beliefs, see the culture(s) from which the religion came and REally study it like you would study anything else. Religions get messed up by humans. People read their own agendas into the text and can justify just about anything by skewing the words. This is an unfortunate human problem. To come here to a Turkish forum where there are no doubt Muslims and bash the religion, that is rude. Femme doesn't care she is a very rude person with no regard for others beliefs or feelings.

Hmmm.... the point is, at least in my case, that I don't care about the religion per se. I care only about what actually happens because of this religion/in the name of it/in the group of people who practice this religion. It doesn't really matter what a REAL islam is, who cares? Nobody even knows what it is! What matters is what ACTUALLY happens in islamic countries and in islamic ghettos in europe and around the world. THIS is what we are criticizing here.
As to Turkish muslims here - if they are decent people, they should also stand up against the radicalism and hatred that is being preached by their religion.
BTW, it is a rather funny argument to say that "foamy probably never met real muslims". What if she did??? in that case, all you said would be invalid... I'm afraid

Yes, what about the expectations for men in the religion? Why is there so much attention on what the women are doing? From what I have read of the Quoran it says how men are to behave as well. I was reading pages 2 and 3 of this thread, very interesting points were made. BTW. Rape is about power more than sex, disregard for the other persons feelings and domination. You all were also talking about Objectification, which is quite common thinking among sex-offenders (at least in the United States). Staring at/regarding women as objects rather than sentient beings. I was confused in Turkey in "practical application' Islam when we were driving from my fiance's home to a bellydance class I had on full coverage excercise pants and he said other men would be staring at my crotch and I should change. WTF? I guess in the United States in big cities no one cares if people look at you or not. In small towns it is different, especially the south, I could see a man saying the same thing. SOCIAL VS RELIGION RULES...very interesting.

So living in a country with a religion gives you the right to bash the people who practice it??? You can bash rape or subjugation of women or women as 2nd class citizens, these issues are cross-cultural and across religions.
By the way. I have studied Oriental Dance long before I went to Turkey. LONG before I met my fiance. True, I did mock some dancers I saw in Turkey in 2 of my videos. I consider it really rooted in Egypt anyway in Raks Sharqi, where I first went to study.

What are you talking about Badia??? I am NOT talking about some philosophical set of religious rules, what it's "supposed" to mean, all that metaphysical crap, what the "books say"... Let's stop that conversation right now, I don't care about it. We are talking and criticizing here what the religion actually does IN PRACTICE, in real life, what actually happens!!!! Yeah, maybe the Koran does say that men should be decent, but if you look at how men actually behave - then you'll see that it's anything but!!!!
Religion vs culture - religion is a product of culture, therefore it is related to it. However, if you continuously brainwash people with certain ideas, they will remain in the past, backward culture. Sure there are perverts in europe and US, but because they aren't brainwashed with stupid ideas like "women can be raped if they aren't with a man", and instead they are being punished for such behavior, then they are forced to evolve!!!

Yes, we can bash religions, customs, people... whatever we want. This is called freedom of speech, freedom to offend.
However, we don't like to bash people for no reason or for a bad reason. I think it's low and wrong and unfair. I only bash people for what they do - rape, discrimination, objectification, denying opportunities to women, people of color, minorities... Yes, I bash people for this kind of behavior. It's time they owned their attitudes and took responsibility for it. I have NOTHING against people having religions and believing in whatever they want, but when that religion sanctions rape, abuse, killings... then I have all the rights in the world to BASH THAT RELIGION and I believe that every decent person would do the same. I don't bash decent muslims, I believe that if they are decent people, this religion can give them some sort of spirituality, but they shouldn't be blindly defending other muslims just because they have the same religion. That is sick.

Thank you Badia, I appreciate your effort to make it a decent conversation.
I completely agree with you that it's not specific to Islam. I would never say it is. But then we need to point it out in other places as well and we have the right and obligation to do that.
I just really can't understand decent and intelligent muslims like Azade who defend islam as a whole and can't accept the fact that there are horrible acts of terror done in the name of her religion.

One specific example that comes to my mind is in this video: Beneath the veil - describes the religious laws in afghanistan. Another could be this: Murderer of Theo van Gogh. This is an example of what I'm talking about.. Don't get me wrong, there are also good muslims, I know those as well, but I'm afraid that radical islam is on the rise which will also discriminate against modern muslims. That is why it's so important that modern muslims don't stand for radical islam just out of loyalty.

Badia, if you look at Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, African countries... and all other places wehre Islam is practiced in the most strict way, you'll see exactly the same thing. It's not just about Taliban. You will see the same thing even in Europe these days. For example look at Belgium: Islamic madness in Belgium. This is what islam looks like in practice... quite different from the beautiful sermons you may hear about islam.
