Wrong, no where does it say women can't travel alone. That's a KSA thing, mind you.



Actually believe it or not, under Islamic law (And I mean if the state law is Sharia) women are not forced to wear head scarves. That's part of personal law, which may be implemented by husbands or parents, not the gov. or official law.

Are you 100% sure. A muslim women who doesn't wear a headscarf would be sinning so I'm still skeptical but would love to be proven wrong.

Then again I hear different things from other muslims so I guess I need to do some thorough research...

She's sinning according to Islam, yes, but the punishment for sins comes in the hereafter, remember?

Yeah, but Abaya and Khimar are not 'Islamic' exactly, more Arabian than anything. Islam law tells women to cover their heads,their chests all the way down to their legs (included) and their arms.
Of course, that could be archieved by simply wearing an 'Abaya' or by wearing Shalwar Kameez, or Shirts and Trousers/Pants (as long as their not see through or tight)

Your chauvinist mentality is what's holding us back. If someone calls us Pakistanis an insult like caveman or backwards, and if they give your example, it's gonna be hard to reply :P
 
Yea, but did she wear tank tops and short skirt along with her hijab????

So you are "assuming" that all Muslim women are forced to wear hijabs? That's where you're wrong buddy :lol:

Try again.

May be not all muslim countries...But the ODDS of a woman being forcibly burqua-ed is far greater in muslim countries than any woman being forcibly bikini-ed in the secular West. That is true and you know it.
 
Excellent article...

Why Do They Hate Us? - By Mona Eltahawy | Foreign Policy
In "Distant View of a Minaret," the late and much-neglected Egyptian writer Alifa Rifaat begins her short story with a woman so unmoved by sex with her husband that as he focuses solely on his pleasure, she notices a spider web she must sweep off the ceiling and has time to ruminate on her husband's repeated refusal to prolong intercourse until she too climaxes, "as though purposely to deprive her." Just as her husband denies her an orgasm, the call to prayer interrupts his, and the man leaves. After washing up, she loses herself in prayer -- so much more satisfying that she can't wait until the next prayer -- and looks out onto the street from her balcony. She interrupts her reverie to make coffee dutifully for her husband to drink after his nap. Taking it to their bedroom to pour it in front of him as he prefers, she notices he is dead. She instructs their son to go and get a doctor. "She returned to the living room and poured out the coffee for herself. She was surprised at how calm she was," Rifaat writes.

When more than 90 percent of ever-married women in Egypt -- including my mother and all but one of her six sisters -- have had their genitals cut in the name of modesty, then surely we must all blaspheme.

Yet it's the men who can't control themselves on the streets, where from Morocco to Yemen, sexual harassment is endemic and it's for the men's sake that so many women are encouraged to cover up. Cairo has a women-only subway car to protect us from wandering hands and worse; countless Saudi malls are for families only, barring single men from entry unless they produce a requisite female to accompany them.

Then -- the 1980s and 1990s -- as now, clerics on Saudi TV were obsessed with women and their orifices, especially what came out of them. I'll never forget hearing that if a baby boy urinated on you, you could go ahead and pray in the same clothes, yet if a baby girl peed on you, you had to change. What on Earth in the girl's urine made you impure? I wondered.
Enjoy the hate...
