To Lawajab, You think that women are objects for fulfullment of desire in the west, yet you go on to compare women with cars. Women are not posessions like cars, they are people just like you are a person. We are not posessions we do not have to be hidden away from the general population in order to keep us safe because men here know how to act in a civilized manner. I have yet to meet a woman such as you describe who "likes" to be called the names you mention - have you ever been to the west? If you have, you certainly have a knack for locating the seediest of places to meet women!

Yes, there are good people and bad people both men and women in any society and there are also modest and immodest women in any society. The vast majority of women are modest no matter where they live, its just a matter of degree. In the west, women dont cover their heads but they dont go out half naked either.

The discussion here was not intended as an invitation to bash women of the west. I have no problem with modesty, it is indeed a quality every woman should have. However, I see something wrong with a society where women have to be hidden away from the general population in order to keep them safe. If women have to be hidden away to keep them safe, then there must be something wrong with the general population. That means that the men of that general population have no ability to act in a responsible, civilized manner.

Well put. I agree.

..I’ve often wondered about this - many women complain about having to go out covered or wear shalwaar kameez and about being kept so separate from their male peers but how do you guys feel about it?

It’s extremely insulting and disgusting to say that all men are so helplessly seduced by a woman’s appearance. Just as it is for every woman to assume every guy who shows her respect wants her.

I too find it interesting that it’s the men for the most part who want to enforce all the restriction and ‘freedoms’ on women to suit their own needs and pleasures the most!

And so sad when women buy into all this BS and willingly brainwash themselves into believing they gotta go to either
extreme to either be respected or be desireable.

Part of the fault in a woman’s very nature to be very nurturing and self sacrificing when it comes to those she loves and
hence she leans more towards her emotional side instead of the practical one.

And women don’t have the same urges!? yeah bull… how many guys have you seen crying and lusting over the New Kids On the Block (lol), Nsync,
Ricky Martin, 50 cent , Puffy Daddy, Ben Affleck and the list of pretty boys goes on an on.

Notice how I don’t pick on the Beatles & Brad Pitt lol at least they are pretty cool and at least appear to have a spine.. lol

When the Koran was written, there was little or no law and order and women were posessions so they needed protection. But
havent we come any further than that over these past hundreds of years?

While the Prophet was still alive women were held in high regard, had a voice and the freedom to express themselves.. who did he often go to for advice and comfort?

What changed pretty much right after he died and has gotten so much worse over the years? Who really changed it?

Men are still insecure, controling and horny lol just now they had a new weapon to pervert to suit their own twisted agendas.

and ‘ladies’ like Pamela Anderson and other walking freaks of nature lol are not respected by anyone.. they’ve become a
joke and disgrace to women everywhere.
remember ‘Showgirls’?

huh? what ?

exactly!

Ever notice how almost all the women who were of legal age won an Oscar after doing a movie which required them to take it
all off and often play the part of a whore ..often quite literally?

Yeah either way you’re being, used,abused and exploited! Maybe if they got payed as much as the people making the money off
them did it would at least be fair!

Just wondering what the “other side” thinks of this issue…

Some of us think too much! lol

why are quotations blindly taken from the Quran and hadith always brought up and twisted by everyone to justify their own views?

I kinda remember the concept of freedom of thought, choice and importance of seeking true knowledge and thinking for
yourself also being a very huge part of not only Islam but all religions..at least in their original purest forms.

I mean think about it - what does this imply about you men - that if you see the hair on a woman’s head or a woman dressed in western clothing you will be so completely overcome with animal lust that you will be driven to rape?!! I’d be
pretty insulted if I were a guy. I mean you’re even kept away from female relatives like you’d even take sexual advantage of a family member?!! It seems to be a pretty lowly opinion of men when you have to go to these extremes

basically ‘religous’ people have a wonderful habit of perverting everything.

What is it ? 3 witnesses to a rape? Something about a woman’s testimony not being equal to that of a man? A man can divorce a woman on the spot without warning or reason?

is the Islam enforced today really the same religion Prophet Mohammad tried to share with the people of his time?

I wish I was just another idiot that just goes on spouting quotes and ‘facts’ without reason or experiences to back them all up!

Sadly this not the case!

Oks I think I covered the main topic and managed to reply to some of the really stupid irrelevant comments brought up here as well lol
