Lol
Does a liberal thinking woman who choses not wear head scarf or a long dress automatically qualify for the post of "one who wears slutty dresses(in your lexicon)"??
You are the one who suggested it...No where had I started with the provocative shit...(anyway feel free to change the hairstyles of any of the ladies to anything ugly lets see how attractive she still is) All I had said was that we dont stutter around fully clad in gold down a dangerous street....Why cant women give themselves that much respect?
But no that was too tough to digest I guess...
And who asked woman to wear cave-women dresses here??
Oh I am sorry like a typical Indian you talk about 1 locations (i.e. indians in India think that is the world and you in Dubai think that is the world) sorry my bad...
I support dressing modestly and according to the occasion. (Wearing crocs and jeans to a marriage party would look as galoot-ish as wearing a fully covered dress at the pool).
Purely based on opinion and whatever is in...Human race is a sneeze away from making a wedding a pool party
But I've yet to understand why do ppl have to wear gloves, and abayas longer than themselves and at the same time apply heavy mascara and eye shadow to their eyes, the only part of the body which is visible from the abayas??
How many years have you been there and you still havent figured out?
That has to be a new or you just dont mingle with enough people
Gloves are not part of the Islamic covering....some just do extra without realizing they are going over board....
Those who apply think mascara and makeup on their eyes are obviously cladding an abaya to please the culture not the religion coz anything excessive is not part of religion....while explaining that the eyes are the only thing that is visible so just like common girls who need to wear the latest fashion be it half naked or be it Anarkali likewise Arab women need to have their eyes on display (coz the verse has this portion: not expose their adornment
except that which [necessarily] appears)
Other than grabbing eyeballs those heavy eyeshadows,mascara,artificial eyelashes , and tight fitting abayas with long slits serve no other purpose. And who doesn't know of Arab women's penchant for beauty products??
I am sorry in your circle you ONLY see these women and are only capable of comparing them while I talk about women in hijab in general ....not limited to Middle East!
Arabs purchase everything not just beauty products...So I am not sure why that is your concern does it surpass your budget that it annoyed you?
And no, those hairstyles which you've posted are definitely not provocative. I mean just how??? how do you rate 'em provocative??
They arent you are the one who brought that BS so I asked you are they?
But as 1 member already answered:
You obviously are not into poetry
Those are smart hairstyles which most of the women try these days (like hair straightening and curling). Every other girl carries a hairstyler nowadays, a few regressive women might not be using it though.
Sometimes I really have to wonder if you are naive or just dumb....Sorry but yea...
In fact all you can change about yourself is your hairstyle. All the other features on your body 're permanent. So what's wrong if someone wants to change their hairstyle???
Now this is what a Muslim woman has to say about wearing a head scarf, and why she doesn't wear one.
Typical of a human always never satisfied...Nothing wrong with changing hairstyles but as per my posts question arises WHY SHOW IT TO PUBLIC...Hijab has nothing to do with what you do to yourself but more to do with this:
WHY PUT YOURSELF AS A DISPLAY?
Why I as a Muslim Woman Don't Wear a Headscarf
1stly she isnt a
scholar of Islam as stated by the article...She has a doctorate in
ʿIlm al-Kalām (
Arabic: علم الكلام, literally "science of discourse"
[1]), often foreshortened to
kalām, is an Islamic science born out of the
need to establish and defend the tenets of Islamic faith against doubters and detractors. A scholar of
kalām is referred to as a
mutakallim (plural
mutakallimūn) as distinguished from philosophers, jurists and scientists. There are many possible interpretations as to why this discipline was originally called "kalām"; one is that the widest controversy in this discipline has been about whether the Word of
God, as revealed in the
Qur'an, can be considered part of God's essence and therefore not created, or whether it was made into words in the normal sense of
speech, and is therefore created.
I see where she is taking the verse but sadly she is only using 1 verse nothing before and after it....
fulfils its original purpose of protecting women from male desire.
Has harassment, rape and viewing women as a woman changed in Germany? Or does she just wanna fit in and be accepted just like everyone who puts themselves on display? What is wrong in being different?
A free state based on the rule of law protects a woman, for example by punishing attacks on her person
So she is gonna wait until she gets attacked? Wise people go by this rule: better safe than sorry...
What would still initially remain is the khimâr the head covering that was part of women's clothing at that time. The Koran neither speaks against nor in any way emphasises that form of covering. God uses the word only once in the Koran (24:31). That occurs in passing in connection with a call for moral behaviour. So there is no Koranic emphasis on such head covering.
This is reference to what she claimed and how far off she was
and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and
not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
And so on...it is sad you find people who read the quran on face value and not the words and their meanings why do I say so....coz of her ignorant reply...God didnt use the word only once....He used it in other places (at least the root word) and also the seriousness of it....The Quran is not a book where you hold 1 verse and ignore the other verse...Being a Molecular Biologist we as molecular biologists have understood the need to learn a whole system as oppose to individual genes....Sequencing genes is not hard but showing how they work in the system is....likewise that word has been in the Quran more than once and she was blind to it shows how much she can understand Quran and how good of a quote she can give ...Good job to post ignorant people as good examples....
So if you open your hair, men will go nuts? Maybe Muslim men have less self control, that is certainly being implied.
Now if she was covered would you react the same? If you say yes you are clearly lying....Coz even science tells us you would! Coz the eyes perceive and it is an important stimuli!
By your logic, that hijab is perfect also implies that women can be protected by building walls. So please consider keeping them in jails, including yourself and keep men out by electric fence. No man will even come close. Pure chastity guaranteed.
Wow so you agree with taliban
I see the extremism in you growing
On a serious note, if you wish to wear it, do so. But if you consider those not wearing it slutty, then you should be locked up or deported to some Islamic hellhole. For good.
Mind you it was
@levina who declared them to be provocative without it....I never said it so I asked is it provocative by posting those pix...Apparently both of you are such big trolls you cant even see what you did to each other
Don't mind but do you mean women's hairstyles are an erotic stimulus???
When you walk down a street then no one turns to look at you because of your hair. Only if you dress provocatively or in a particular way, and behave accordingly, do you attract some attention.
You think that men dont turn attention when women do these:
Each are wearing decently
Tell me why is a head scarf worn??
Hijab is not restricted to the headscarf it is about body, mind and soul....
Donning a colorful scarf over her neck and hair, Kate Watkins, freshman in international studies at North Carolina State University, walked into her yoga class and quickly drew the attention of peers. As a participant in Behind the Veil, an educational event sponsored by the Muslim Student Association, Watkins and other non-Muslim students wore the
hijab for a day.
"I think it's important to understand people who are different than me by walking in their shoes before I make any judgments," Watkins said.
The cultural exchange of wearing the
hijab extends past the realm of apparel and covers the aspect of hijab as a lifestyle choice. As a requirement for women in the Koran, the hijab carries a spiritual significance for many young women.
A cloud of controversy has surrounded this Muslim garment and event organizers said they chose to do this exchange to demonstrate the true meaning of the hijab and to clarify common misconceptions.
"This isn't a symbol of oppression," Fatima Fareed, a freshman in elementary education, said. "
As a woman I feel liberated while wearing the hijab, and there is no contradiction. It's a sign of modesty and respect and I feel empowered to do so."
The event included a panel discussion with three Muslim women-two who chose to wear the headdress and one woman who chose not to wear it yet.
"Never had I been ashamed of being Muslim," Sameen Mujtaba, a junior in polymer color chemistry said while telling her narrative of when she started wearing the hijab. "
When I was younger I used to wear capris but one day I met a girl who converted to Islam wearing the hijab. It made a lasting impression on me."
There is a recommended age in Islam, at around puberty, when it's appropriate to don the hijab, which is only the headscarf-not to be confused with the burqa, which is a full-body covering. However,
many young women are encouraged to take their time when considering when to put on the hijab.
"Of course,
if it's forced upon you, you won't understand its importance and coercion is counterproductive," Doaa Dorgham, a junior in psychology, said. As event organizer and fellow hijabi (one who wears the hijab), Dorgham said Muslim women should only wear the hijab when they are most comfortable doing so.
"It's not worth it just going through the motions. Islam doesn't just consider your actions, but also your intentions."
The theme of modesty reappeared throughout the panel discussion, and the panelists described their perspectives of modesty not just regarding physical appearance, but also decent behavior.
"When I was thinking about modesty," Mujtaba said, "
I thought that someone who isn't modest is someone who's trying too hard-trying too hard to impress someone. A lot of the stuff I'm inclined to do is probably more geared to impressing someone, and I'm guilty for that. But wearing the hijab reminds me to be sincere and be myself."
Dorgham said that the hijab doesn't define her, but she rather defines herself and her hijabi lifestyle.
"I worked it to that the hijab being a part of me," Dorgham said between mediating the panel.
"If someone wears a scarf, it doesn't mean that they are better than those who don't."
Iqra Chhotani, a senior in biological sciences, is of Pakistani descent and sat on the discussion panel as the non-Hijabi. Although she recounted personal conflict and self-debate about her role as a Muslim, she said she will eventually wear the scarf.
"I don't feel that I'm ready," Chhotani said. "Coming to college, and despite being a senior, I don't know everything about who I am or who I want to be. I'm taking the steps to being a better person and Muslim.
When I feel like I can look at myself in the mirror and say, 'Wow, I can carry the name of being a Muslim,' and be proud about it more than I already am, that's when I can wear it."
The conversation of the significance of the hijab continued for nearly two hours. At the end the discussion was opened to broader questions not just regarding the hijab but Muslim practices and culture as well. The non-Muslim women who chose to take part in the social experiment recounted their experiences and Watkins said her view of the hijab and Islam changed.
"I think that many people get bogged down on one side of the argument," Watkins said.
"It's a very beautiful expression of faith and I have learned lessons that I can apply to my Christian beliefs."

Hijab is an Arabic word meaning barrier or partition.
In Islam, however, it has a
broader meaning. It is the principle of modesty and includes behaviour as well as dress
for both males and females.
