Loooool gladly looking at those two.

You would be a strict wife. I will start praying for your husband now. May Allah have mercy upon him and give him patience and above all courage for the battle of life that lies ahead.

I would not say " not a word " but i don't claim to be an expert.

What i do know that there is a great difference between woman choosing to wear hijab or that being forced upon them - which have no religious benefit what so ever.
I also know that the forcing of the Hijab has nothing to do with Islam , simply a tool by the mullahs to keep themselves in power.

Well its wrong on many level to say hijab has nothing to do with islam

I stand corrected -

Forcing people to wear a hijab has nothing to do with islam !

Does that sound better to you ?

What value any faith have if it forced upon people and not come from a true heart ?

There is always one ...

There is nothing in Islam that say that woman must cover their heads , kindly show us where anything like that is written.

The hijab has nothing to do with Islam.

It is simply a control devise by a dictatorship regime to oppress people and prevent them from lifting their heads.

But they will fail :

I am extremely sad to say it
but I will have to agree with the Israeli here

The woman in the first pictures is working for CIA. Look at her fake instagram profile. She has no Facebook account and somehow people "recognised" her from those low quality pictures.

Islam doesn't permit such acts. Can you quote any Quranic ruling?

Unfortunately this is the bitter Truth in the whole history of Islam where slave girls moved in the Islamic society without any Hijab and even with naked breasts and they were beaten by the government with sticks if they ever took Hijab by mistake.

I initially thought it was only in the Sunni Muslims, so I went to the Shias and I found the same Ahadith from Shia Imams regarding slave women.

You asked about Quran.

Are you Quranist?

Do you believe in Ahadith?

It is not my fault that these orders are not present in Quran but in Ahadith, which Muslims unanimously accepted (Ijma) and made it part of their Fiqh and acted upon it in whole of their history.

If you are a Shia, then I later found the Ahadith of Shia Imams too and I could share them with you.

Is there a faith that come with no value forced of people. Also don't forget if you live in a society there are social contracts that you most follow otherwise it'll be anarchy.

And in Quran nobody can argue that hijab is ordered for holy prophet family in verse 33 and 59 of Surat Al Ahzab
But you also must consider verse 31 from Surat Al Noor that some claim it ordered to wear hijab and some claim it suggested to wear it . I'm not a cleric or Islamic school at so i don't believe I can decide for others . but it shows Islam at least suggested women Must wear headscarf and if somebody says its not in Islam he is not aware of all the facts.

I have been where you're at currently. Let me tell you something....A lot of Hadith are pure fabrications or at best weak with severe flaws caused by some of the people in the chain of narrations.

Human factor, whether it is Mr. Bukhari or Mr. Majlisi, have always allowed extreme bias to creep in just in order to provide their particular point of view legitimacy.

You're probably an adult who can think for yourself, but I'll give you an advice anyway and that is; when approaching any problem...specifically regarding something as serious as religion...leave emotions out of it. Emotions lead to bias, prejudice, and deviation.

It is my understanding that the two highlighted parts have always led to deviations caused by personal opinions(rayy), consensus(ijma, qiyaas) and whatnot.

REASON FOR EDIT: I would like to mention a disclaimer that my mentioning of Mr. Bukhari and Mr. Majlisi is just a parallel for two different camps. My intention is not to highlight or pick on these two particular individuals.

Iranian women risk arrest as they remove their veils for #WhiteWednesdays

Women in Iran are waving white clothes on the end of sticks — but it is an act of defiance, not surrender.

During the protests that rocked Iran earlier this month, a powerful image emerged of an unveiled woman waving a white veil on the end of a stick.

Vida Movahed, 31, was arrested for this act of protest. According to reports, she was detained and only released last Sunday.

Hers is not an isolated protest; more and more women are removing their hijabs — and taking the risk of posting pictures online — as part of a movement called #WhiteWednesdays.

Masih Alinejad, the creator of the movement, grew up in Iran and wore the veil from the age of seven — as legally required.

"For almost four decades, we, the women of Iran, have been unhappy about compulsory hijab," she said, "And we had the fear inside our heart."

"But now... I think the government of Iran, they have the fear of these brave women."

Alinejad grew up in a religious family in a small village, where she was always jealous of the freedom her little brother and other boys enjoyed.
"[They were] free to ride a bicycle, free to sing, free to run, jump in a river," she told The Current's Anna Maria Tremonti.

He was "the symbol of freedom" that she envied.

In her teenage years, she found moments to remove her hijab in secret, but soon realised many women were doing the same thing in private.

Later in life, living in self-imposed exile in New York, she created the Facebook page My Stealthy Freedom, where she "asked women to publish their photos, to talk about it in public."

The page has been inundated with pictures, videos and personal stories.

Its success prompted her to start #WhiteWednesdays. Through both, Alinejad said she is giving a voice to women who are silenced in the Islamic Republic.

Ebb and flow of protest


Before the 1979 revolution, the hijab was banned in Iran.
Following the Ayatollah Khomeini's decree to cover up, 100,000 people marched bare-headed in the streets in protest.
Shahrzad Mojab, a professor at the women's studies department at the University of Toronto, was among those activists.

"I always mention in my teaching... that I am of the generation that my mother, who is in her early 80s, witnessed the forced unveiling of her mother, and also the forced veiling of her daughter."
She says that the control of a woman's body is an important part of the regime.
"When the regime calls itself an Islamic regime, women become the political cultural symbol of that regime," she said.
"And therefore monitoring, managing, punishing, disciplining a woman's body and their sexuality becomes a very important political policy."

She sees movements like #WhiteWednesdays and My Stealthy Freedom as part of "the continuous resistance of women which has started almost 40 years ago."

The economic unrest at the beginning of the year creates a new impetus, she said, with the women's protest now becoming a cultural symbol of resistance.

"There is no way to turn back," she said. "We are hoping to see more of this spontaneous — as well as creative — way of resisting and hopefully it will turn into a more organized way of resisting this regime."
