Hijab is oppressive, it is repressive, and backwards. Okay...what is parading in a tank top and mini skirt then? Freedom?
Is it really freedom that a woman shows her body for the pleasure of her male counterparts, that is, she is debased for exposing herself while men go on a joy ride with her display of shamelessness?
Is it really freedom that women are compelled to conform to a certain body size and image in order to be acceptable in society?
Is it really freedom when a woman's entire worth as a person and as a female is based on her appearance?
Is it really freedom that men see women only as a collection of body parts to exploit?
Is it really freedom that a man cheats on his wife because he saw someone else more pretty than her at the office or on the street?
Is it really freedom when violence against women thrives?
Is it really oppressive that Muslim women do not give men anything to ogle and grope when they cover?
Is it really unjust that Muslims allow women to be comfortable the way they are, whatever size and colour?
Is it really backwards that Muslims value women for their intelligence and good deeds and NOT their bodies?
Is it really tyrannical that men leave Muslim women alone because they cover and that Muslim women are not fantacized about and assaulted?
Is it really wrong that Muslim women fall in love once and have strong, faithful long lasting marital relationships because they do not expose themselves to other men?
So you decide if you are REALLY free.
This blog is collage of memories and lessons captured from world events and my experiences. I am sharing my thoughts on an array of topics mostly addressing contemporary Muslims in North America. My goal is to connect myself and everything in my life with the Qur'an and the Ahadith, to inspire goodness and closeness to Allah. I do not claim to be an expert in any of the things I write. My opinions are subject to change and open for discussion. I look forward to your comments and suggestions.
