I'm not Muslim but this shit is beautiful and so true. "Sexually liberated" women are misguided IMO. It's also a sad state of affairs that I felt this is most appropriate for Pandora's Box. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opm1JlzDOgk&feature=related]To A Non-Muslim Woman - YouTube[/ame]
From time to time I see a woman at the grocery store wearing a white or light blue head~scarf along with western clothing I can tell she feels like she attracts attention....but to me it's just her religion It's not a bad thing And I just keep going about my businness when I see her.......while some seem to stare
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB3LqkvUpvc]I am Free - YouTube[/ame] Marry a man who your parents chose. Sit in an inferior place at your place of worship because you're a woman. Cook and clean your house everyday and remember; If guests come over you must impress them so they think you're the 'good' wife. Wear a garment that covers your body/hair, a part of the body that men also have, but they don't need to cover. Make up is a no no, those westernized girls are harlots anyway. Teach your kids that this right and wrong. Now repeat after me; I am free, I am free, I am free..
Its funny how both sides see the other as oppressed and subjugated by the male society, when in reality, neither are.
Oh sweetie. There is a lot of propaganda on the internet, what you are spewing is one among the many, you are also borderline racist. I am Arabic and my family members are all Catholic but most don't even practice the religion yet they still participate in arranged marriages..however it's not a requirement. This is part of the culture. Allah tells men to cover themselves before he even mentions women. It's part of the reason they grow their beards out. Make up is one of many tools used to objectify women. When you wear short shorts, low-cut tops, plaster your face with makeup, you become a piece of meat. Like a toy. You become free for men, every single one of us (regardless of what they tell you), think of you (not saying you literally) as.....things that will not comfort you at night. God help the women of this earth.
I have seen some women wear the Hijab with revealing westernized clothing. It's like, woman, I can already x-ray your body. I can already visually fuck you. You are not pleasing God. Just stop fooling yourself and take off that silly scarf. We men are not lusting after your hair.
Well, this woman is in her 40's and is covered up by her western clothing ~ shirt buttoned except the top button with long pants on...but I see what you're saying. AT that point, take the scarf off, you aren't respecting it by wearing revealing clothing!!! I hear what you're saying about make~up. I think women should recognize their natural beauty instead of relying on make~up to feel pretty
/facepalm I give up. I am in no way racist. I was simply demonstrating what my understanding of muslim women is.. which is probably the same for most young Irish women. And I just LOVE the fact you assume I wear low cut tops, short skirts and plaster myself in make up. Cheers for that. Nice to see you have a high regard for western women.
Sounds like you dress yourself appropriately. I am talking about women who wear nothing but their bra, underwear and some flip flops (oh you mean that's not underwear? Could've fooled me) And yeah, make up is fine to wear if one feels they must...produced by men... for women...for men. Freeedom I wish I could inject self-confidence into every woman who doesn't naturally possess it. Oh and those cosmo magazines some girls are addicted to, yeah, produced by men....scientifically formulated to deplete your self-confidence...like a vampire....
Bottom line: Women are bitches because thats what they do. They bitch. And somehow its always the mans fault.
I didn't mean you literally... Not all Western women are made equally though. You might not be a racist at heart but your comments did come off that way. I understand it stemmed from ignorance which is not your fault considering how much our media victimizes these women.. It's fucking lies.
No, money is the single worst idea man has ever come up with. They wouldn't have made up a phrase about it being the root of all evil if it weren't the worst... Religion has inspired people to fantastic acts of creativity, charity, knowlege...as well as some great evil too, misguidedly usually; but at least there are some positives.
Money is a tool, it can be used for good ideas, or profoundly stupid ones. Religion, on the other hand, is a total fraud and worthless. The inspiration that you talk about is within the human mind, and is not connected with some hocus-pocus spiritual powers that the priests say exists - with no evidence other than their claim that it does. Religions use their influence to create war, poverty, and the subjugation of their followers. The less religion there is in a society, the better off it's citizens are.
I suppose I misused the quote, I forgot that it isn't necessarilly money; but the love of money...Whatever, its late; and i'm thinking none too clearly. I just dislike seeing religion itself being bashed. It isn't without its uses, like money. Just as you've pointed out bashing on money is as pointless as bashing on religions...
Muslim women in Ireland often play the victim. My arguments were not out of ignorance, they were out of experience. I do not think it was fair that when I was in hospital at Christmas time, a muslim woman on the ward complained that I had a small crib next to my bed and hospital management requested I get rid of it because it's a religious icon or whatever. Yet, she was wearing a hijab/had special hospital robes. The hijab was obviously a religious symbol but management said nothing to her for whatever reason. Who is the victim here? Really now.. come on. That was taking the piss. No wonder people are so hostile towards the muslim community. I'm not saying some people aren't ignorant but the muslim community are just quite often digging themselves into a hole.
