How 'going down'?

Hi lava
Study is going good thanks. I'm sat in front of the computer know trying to get a report finished, but I'm having a little writers block hence I'm in and out of here.
How's Turkey? I see you have our President visiting at the moment

Yes I understand what you are saying. Although this is where we will disagree because although I do believe in covering up, I wouldn't support any legal action against someone being naked, atleast not in a "designated naked area" like a Nudist beach or whatever, or in one's own house.

I think Governments shouldn't have too much power to enforce whether people can display their own skin, however I do believe that genitals should be covered atleast. Not only for hygiene reasons but also because I simply don't believe our Males are mature enough and controlled enough to be able to resist "tempation" like that, let alone actually socially respect a Woman's decision to be naked and not just call her a "****" or whatever.

Besides, in the UK people would never undress too much anyways - it's simply too damn cold LOL!

Yes that is a good way of putting it. It's as if we're "divine creations" but our own skin and bodies must be hiddden from each other because of our inferior levels of self-control. It appears to be mostly a Male problem, and there are many double-standards in the West too about stuff like this.

Say for example, if it's a sunny day and a Man takes his top off 'cause he's too hot, no one objects. No sexual organs are displayed either since it's only his chest.

But if a Woman here was hot and took off her top to cool down, she'd be called negative things and would probably get attention from the Police and be made to cover up, even though she's not displaying sexual organs either since breast are not sexual organs.

How can a Male chest be considered okay but not a Woman's? It must be because of our culture and how we're raised - we're raised with a lot of values that makes Women very sexualized unfortunately.

Wow you replied fast!

Anyways, yeah, I see what you mean. However to many non-Muslims the mandatory requirement for face covering in some Muslim countries is seen as a sign that the Woman cannot be free to display her own "ID" to herself, and is thus, repressed.

Not all Muslim communities, but some. But anyways, you get what I mean

I see. That is what I understood. And yes, I too have been told that in the Koran/Hadith there is no mention of actual requirements for covering Women's faces, just to cover hands, limbs and the chest if I remember correctly.

The only real controversy surrounding the Niqab is the facial section, other than that, it is nothing than another dress or piece of clothing.

Hey .lava, do you mean by that, that the Burka face cover only is not "correct" and therefore is repressive of ones ability to display their sexuality (again that doesn't mean having sex in Public etc)?

May Allah protect you habibte , and may HE unite us in al firdaws ameen.

Love you fillah

May Allah reward you immensly ukhtee lava , but please try not to praise me as my nafs will be filled of joy and I'll start believing that Im a real wonderful and good person, and that will be my end

Barakallahu feeki wa shakaralaki . Kissees

I'm pretty egscited. :danana:

Nope. In order to be a teacher, I have to do a sort of practicing teaching called "student teaching." That is that I am still a university student but I am acting like a teacher and teaching actual lessons(but I won't get paid). Usually people do that somewhere near their university, but I'm doing mine as a sort of study abroad thing. "student teaching" is sort of a class for my Elementary Education major at my university, so by doing study abroad, I can do my practice teaching while also getting the experience of a different culture and different ways of teaching in different places.

Thank you so much .lava. You're one of the kindest and most interesting people I've met here.

so what type of killing do you view as humane? they are all the same to me.

ok i'm sorry .lava. i won't say that again in any post or message directed at you.
but the prophet killed the betrayers though. the jews of medina is one example.
