I thought the thread had been closed and sealed, because we have settled the problem of veiling women in Islam with the help of our Muslim women...

Hemavich, are you not satisfied with the answer of the women of your religion& Or you don't respect them at all?

Hi Forbes, In Islam women should lower their gaze.It seems that Christians here don't want to reply my question about Veiling Women in Christianity. Or some may not know indeed. But we all know one thing that a nun has all freedom to be veiled and she is respected for devoting herself to GOD.

A good point.

And how much of women's feeling of a need to cover themselves the reaction to male attitudes and behaviour on the street?

I think that women veiled is a kind of humiliation of women. In this case I sympathise with the Muslim women.

I won't say that it is not your business. but this is a discussion and u have not to speak like that. By using the word "Humiliation" you insult Islam as a religion. And Muslim women sympathise the unveiled women. however there are some don't veil their body. the significance of this veil is to defend her the seduction of Satan and not to fall in evil deeds we all know well.

Now

Can anybody tell us about this matter in Christianity and the BIBLE !!! Cuz i guess it is (or was) the same. The fact we all know is that only pricey thing is to be covered. U have the freedom to unveil it but let the other do whatever they want to do and believe.

Please , Dew, U r welcome as a friend of any Muslim.But take care it is religion of others u r talking about. at last don't misunderstand me.

Dear Kabayan,

I've already settled the matter with Dew. I believe the way you do. He's really a considerate man and I fully respect him and you as well. I just want to make some points considering me and Muslim women seeking for much understanding from others.

I am going to repeat a plea I've already stated when first posting this topic: whenever you deal with a veiled women, don't concentrate on the veil and deal with the human and brain behind it.

Long Live Peace and Friendship!

Kabayan, I am really grateful to you for the post. And I am sure that being friends regardless of the religious or cultural misunderstandings is the very thing for our planet to be peaceful.

Perhaps something in your culture may seem "strange" or even "unacceptable" to the people of other beliefs. But in fact I think that by the end of the year I'll be able to understand You and Your culture better, as well as you will be able to do the same.

I even think that I'll have much more muslim friends all around the world.

Long Live Peace and Friendship!

Dear Mythical lady,

Assalamu alaikum,

Our friend Dew wrote what he wrote because he has social awareness. Regardless that he doesn't know Islamic teachings in details, or the difference between Islamic teachings and The culture of Muslim majority country, I'm so sure that he is a very good guy. He is such a nice gentleman. We muslims should be thankful because we have an opportunity to make friends with him.

Wassalam,

Mythical Lady, I think your post has settled all the arguments of us, men, ignorant of the feelings of a real muslim woman wearing a veil.

I believe you and trust your opinion. I think it must be the end of discussion.

Long Live Peace!

It's funny when you hear somebody spoke of the others (who in reality are meant to speak) and talked about their feelings while they are not what they say. Being a Muslim woman who is proud to wear the veil, I feel no humilation, neither I feel male dominance over me, neither I follow rules with blind faith.

A few days age, a poll presented on a T.V show to ask women in my country ( Saudi Arabia) whether they like to wear the veil or not. Surprisingly to others, expected by me, 97% of the voters prefer to wear the veil. I believe they feel the way I do. No humiliation, No male dominance because of the veil, No following the rules with blind faith.

Then what? do you still feel sympathy and pity over veiled women? then I should tell you to STOP. We are having our life the way we prefer exactly as you have your life the way you prefer.

In this topic, each speaks his/her mind and I'm glad to hear others' opinions and see different veiws. In return, I expect others as well to see the other way around which is in most cases opposite to what they thought.

Long Live Peace!

Kabayan, I am really sorry.

I must have misunderstood your point. Then the question remains for the others who think it normal to veil women. I really meant no offence.

Kabayan — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 10:45:19 GMT

Dew,

Will you proof your statement that Islam really teaches that women are property of their husband ? Will you show Billions of Muslims all over the world the verse in Qur'an that says so ?

Re: Islam:veiling women!

Kabayan — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 08:14:07 GMT

Dew,

I don't know ! Why do you ask me ? I'm not the person who think that a married woman should cover her face.

You better ask yourself ! Why do you use your outfits right now ?

I'm really carefull with what I wrote. It is better to understand every issues from it's two or more extrme points.

Good Luck !

Re: Islam:veiling women!

Dew 2007 — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 07:49:11 GMT

Then why noone but the husband (and the relatives) can see the face a married woman?

Why veil the beautiful nudity (as you say it)?

But we should be careful about everything! Let's not jump from one extreme point to another..
