In a sudden and shocking move, Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai has authorized a ban on wearing full veils in public places. This revolutionary action makes Afghanistan...
first you break it then you fix it, then you plunge yourself back 4000 yrs... then you pretend to fix it again... Hmmm, this should be interesting... rated up.
This sounds as if it were something from the satirical magazine Onion rather than reality! No doubt many women will be forced to wear the burka by their husbands. Will they charge the husband! Probably not but the woman will be thrown in jail. There could be violent protests over this. Thanks for this report. We will see how fast Karzai flip flops.
Dude, a woman is made beautiful for her man, not for all to watch and get aroused. I bet you like it when people look at your wife or sister thinking in their minds "wow, what a piece. I'd love bangin that hot piece of ass" and picturing their sex positions with her or other immoral stuff. Do you know the cause of rape? it is because a woman arouses a man by exposing her to him. look at the west with all its modern shit. how many rapes are reported everyday? how many sexual assaults happen each day?
Really? I highly doubt that is what goes through every man's head when they see a pretty woman. And so what if it does? You are taking away women's freedom for that? Why don't you try to wear a chadari for a while to see how it feels?
Dude, first, I suggest you go and get some info about what Islam says regarding Hijab. A woman can reveal her face, hands and feet only; rest of the body should be covered with Hijab. Second, If you ask every real Muslim woman, she is very much comfortable wearing a hijab. Hijab is an immunity, not an imposition and abduction of freedom. If you were wise enough, you should have gotten the point from my first comment. Peace!
April Fools, but interestingly, the Niqab and Burka are banned in Syria, which is one reason the Saudi Wahhabis want to overthrow the government there.
Firstly, A Muslim woman does not cover her face or wear hijab due to fear of her husband, the society or Karzai. She wears it only to please her Creator Allah alone. But unfortunately this is misunderstood by many people around the world including Karzai. If a women has the right to show her face, she has equally rights to cover it. It is oneself property not public or Karzi's. If Karzai really wants to protect women's rights, he should implement complete Islamic laws. In Islam women's and Human's rights has been already explained in a very detailed manner.Any one can refer to it through Quran and Sunnah. Second, Karzi should concentrate on many other essential economic and development activities of Afghanistan rather than banning face covering. He has already has disagreement of Afghans. If he is keen to protect Human's right, he should empower security in Afghanistan. How he protect Afghan right in Afghanistan is already know to people through week's back incidents in Kandahar province in which 17 civilians were killed by a US solider, and burning of Holy Quran. So better to protect a nation's religion and it people rather than quoting a foolish law without any proper reason and justification.
I agree with rzassad, thank you for your wonderful comment. I am a proud Muslim American women who covers her hair for the sake of God alone. I lived in Afghanistan for a year and learned that the majority of people there follow their Afghan culture more than the actual teachings of Islam. Islam elevated the rights and status of women, during a time when they were buried alive as babies. Islam ended this horrific practice.
You obviously live in a country where you choose how to dress. Most of the women in Afghanistan don't have the freedom to do so. They have been robbed of their rights and freedom over and over for political reasons. Please don't be such a snob and feel entitled to tell them what they should do that works for you.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but religion and traditions developed due to reasons such as taking over a country and controlling the people. Afghans originally had a beautiful Persian culture that has been destroyed over centuries. Just because Arabic culture has spread due to Islam taking over other countries, doesn't mean it is a better way of living. Why do you think Arabic garb is supposed to be the right way to dress? Why are you supposed to learn Arabic in order to read Quran. Could it be that Arabs were hoping to take over the world?
I appreciate your kind and supportive response.Loved the way ur expressed your positive view.Very few people understand that. We all Muslim are proud to me Muslim and do everything only to please our creator not the creation.
Thanks rzassad--you were the one who inspired me to write my post--yes being a Muslim is really all about remembering and serving God/Allah the best we can.
