Re: Hijaab equals Oppression
^agree Red Velvet! The responses in this thread are a kind of sad testament here. The pro-hijaabi's are every bit (or more) as judgemental as those opposed. Heres my take:
Hijaab can be a lovely thing and all the more power to those in this category.
Hijaab can be practiced in a manner that oppresses the woman in some cases.
Hijaab can be improperly used in some cases to make a statement rather than for its intended purpose of modesty.
non-hijaabis are not necessarily immodest, nor are they necessarily "bad Muslims".
I dont see how any of these points can be argued, I think we all at some point have met people belonging to each one of the above categories.
