Cosmopolitan new Afghan first lady backs French veil ban

[AbidM]

If a woman chooses to cover her face than no one (man or woman) has any right to tell her to remove the veil.

I agree, but I'm pretty sure most women are wearing a head scarf that covers the face is because of the taliban and the rule of law set by them, I'm pretty sure if things where stable, young women of afghanistan would not cover up themselves as much as they do.

Based on what specific instinct?

Thing is, Afghanistan is a very Islamic country; the first lady coming up with such radical secular statements will only give the Mullahs material to go against the new government. In other words, this statement was a very stupid one, in PR terms.

On their own - How many would like themselves to be akin to a walking ghost or a black Ninja in a 21st century?
Why don't Non Muslim women do that?
Traditions/cultures are changing...

Oh yes. The nation police and security can. You do not have the right to cover your faces all the time. And the ones who cover the faces must not talk to one who does not cover the face.

Err...Mullahs in Afghanistan?

Well, first of all, why these Mullahs are silent when their own country is a Numero Uno Opium producer in the world?
Is it not unislamic?

If they can digest that, why not their own women with their own choice?
Does Islam preach that you grow Poppy fields?
And Mullahs are getting their cut, while being silent!

Its hardly feasible there.
Morality hardly works in dirt poor nations, they are archaically religious and highly corrupt.

I hope Ashraf Ghani is as practical as his wife. Otherwise it will be no different than having Taliban who made a modern Afghanistan of 70s into a medieval hell.

No it's not understand what she's trying to say, she's saying no women should have to cover her head fully, however they can wear scarves. It's not shameful at all, what's shameful is the way some Islamic countries are authoritative. In the quaran

Educate women and their community will prosper. Deny them education and the world will suffer

Yes I admit I strongly say my mother sister to wear hijab veil. But they strongly oppose. Nothing I can do here.
Again there are women who follow this by themselves. It depends on different culture teachings etc.

Who are you to strongly suggest to someone to wear something? I strongly suggest you wear a miniskirt.
