There's nothing more radical to these types than women with a choice -- not women with choices made for them. Whether those choices are made for them by a repressive society or by a federal government.
I've never expected this statment to come out from the person who i consider the most mature and the wisest member in Juventuz.
Greg,don't women and even men in every society in the globe have choices made for them what to wear and what not to?!!!! Isn't exposing nipples in most places in US considerd illegal? so don't the american nudists have undesired choices made for them?
No. I direct them to the right way. I know women who are approved of their men marrying as many women as they want. They think this is a right given to men by Islam so they have to obey. And I'm all for a law which forbids this even if those women, who are supposedly the victims of this stupid law, are approved of it. You must stop wrong things to happen and Burqa is wrong Fred.
Secondly, for those women who are forced to wear Burqa, NOTHING but a law preventing women from wearing it would help. Do you know what I mean? This time lets see this as a humane issue. Those women who are willingly wearing Burqa will lose nothing by not wearing it (not to mention that the whole concept behind this hijab is way too sexist). I'd much rather a case when 1000 women are forced to not wear Burqa while 10 other are now not forced to wear it against their will to the situation when 1000 women are wearing Burqa willingly and 10 other are forced to wear it.
Do you know that this law indeed exists in Islam (atleast in our Sunni teachings,i don't know about shia)?
I don't know if u're talking about Islamic law or Iranian government,but i'm just telling you to know.
I'm not bitter, there has not been any man in my life forcing me to do anything. I'm talking about the past. Women USED TO be considered as men's belongings, it's not an opinion, it's a fact. Are you a Muslim? I can then refer you to Qoran if so. Men used to bury their daughters alive in the Jaheliyyah era. Even now, in the 21st century, there are still women only in the Middle East who can't vote. Men still can marry four women at the same time. The history of women fighting for their rights in extremely masculine societies of the past and the present is not the stuff I've made up. It's only that you need to read/study more.
Women are not considered as men's belongings in Quran.Please mention the verses,I know the entire Quran by heart,and i don't know what verses you are talking about? maybe your Imams tell that but Quran no way.
Women not voting is completely sick,and everybody here agrees .Yes that exists in Mideast but that has nothing to do with Islam.
Women fighting for their rights are everywhere.Even in Europe which is the most liberal place there are feminists fighting against the heavy prostitution and pornography in Europe.
As for you not agreeing with Islam allowing men to merry 4 wives,i can tell you that,in Europe men are allowed to have affairs with many women at the same time,now will you please criticize Europeans for allowing men to do that?
And Finally,i want to remind you something Hoori.When you speak here in such religious thread especially with Sunni memebers you should keep in mind that what they taught you is Shia teachings not Sunni and here comes why sometimes Sunni memebers find what you say is strange.Surely in many things Sunni and shia are the same but in many other things there are diffrences.So whenever you want to say something regarding laws in Islam,plz mention that it's a shia point of view not the mainstream view of the muslims,also non-muslims members won't count what you say on us,if you don't know what things are different from Sunni and what are same then you are excused.
