First of all, welcome to the forums. Just so you know, i wasn't serious at all, i was just being sarcastic. If you read this thread from the beginning, you would notice that many Muslim women members have defended their choice of wearing the hijab. They defended their choice just like you have defended yours. Then what did they get in here? Some people accused them of being brainwashed just for choosing to wear the hijab. I respect both, those who wear the hijab and those who don't. I just hate it when some people claim they are teaching us how to be civilized through doing a copy/paste for their culture, norms, and values. I respect the strong sense of human rights and equality voiced by many informed western societies but they seem to forget that other people have the right to make their own choices in life as well and that they can be free and civilized as well without having to imatate the west, without *wearing* like the west, without behaving like the west. I'm proud of those women who don't only fight injustice being done to them, but also to other women from different backgrounds and values as well.
