Poor women, women there can't think for themselves!! They have to expose their bodies so that men can enjoy themselves.
We shouldn't stand silent in front of this brainwashing, TashaN!!

Oh no! I feel so helpless because I'm wearing some shorts and a t-shirt right now! I need someone to rescue me by covering every inch of my body except for my hands and face with material!

Boo-h!
Notice that this is a debate's area WW.
He -obviously- isn't forcing any ideas on you, and definitely not being "controlling".
You are free to do whatever you like, and we are just debating our thoughts in here.

Maybe I answered a little hastily without thinking about what I was saying. Sorry. I just think that insisting that women must cover their bodies as they do in his culture, and saying thing like western women souls are degraded, our bodies are exploited and that we are deprived of our honor, that comes off a little harsh to me and makes me question his intentions of his posting. I just don't appreciate it when people think that we have to live exactly how they do or we are doomed. And I know he is not necessarily forcing his ideas on me but he is making it clear how badly he thinks of people who don't do things his way. I mean he said that the only way for us to be civilized is if we wear a hijab. Really? That sounds crazy to me.

I am going out on a limb here, TashaN, but I am going to come out and say you are not actually serious and that you are simply "having one over" on us. Is this correct?

ahh please stop calling each other 'brainwashed'. as not all Western women are volunteer to show off their bodies just because they do not wear hijab, not all Muslim women would be a saint simply by wearing hijab.
we Muslims believe in Qur'an and wearing modesty is a command of Allah. here, that's the only thing you can not be OK with. it is not going to change just because you do not like it. because it is none of your business so deal with it internally.

psst...
Hey, what did you cover her with? {wink wink}
I don't know, my friend, why those arrogant fanatic Muslims think if you don't think, act and wear like them you're not civilized, and you must be oppressed and brainwashed!!
It indeed sounds crazy...
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.
If I'm right I think what Tashan was trying to do was point out how ridiculous it is to assume someone is automatically oppressed because they wear a hijab. I really am not sure what the argument is about, no one here thinks the hijab should be forced on people and surely if we want to promote freedom and stuff the freedom to wear a hijab should be allowed?

I was hoping he wasn't being serious.
I even paused a couple times before I hit the submit button.
Then I come to realize that, serious or not, BS is BS.

If one chooses to wear the hijab, or any other attire that is prescribed by religion or tradition (habit, full length dress, head scarf etc.) so be it. It is a choice.
When forced to do so, it becomes a different matter.

No one disagrees with this. Both .lava and not4me stated this earlier that it should be a choice.
This is what maro, Sajdah, Peace, lava, me said many times here. I thank you really for these words.
