Re: Hijaab equals Oppression
Didn't we have such discussion a gazillion time?
Many in religious section.
Samb and people like samb just argue for argument sake and those who are defending just being dragged in to a fruitless argument.
The word oppression is used to make a powerful negative impact despite the woman herself may deny being oppressed by any means.
This is one of the way people try to make others start doubting on their actions and some do fall for this trap.
In essence:
1- What we call a burqa or a full clothes attire is not such an unusual thing. It is not just related to muslims.
Can muslim say Nuns are also oppressed?
Nuns are oppressed not to be allowed to have sex?
Christian religious leaders are oppressed not to be allowed to marry or have sex?
strict Jews women also wear similar attire like counterpart Christians and like Muslims.
So in the end, with same analogy all followers of christianty, judaism and muslims (even many hindu women who cover their bodies, face or head) are oppressed!
The problem with Samb like people is they have absolutely no clue what they talk about and the basis, but full of rhetoric and debates.
Burqa is not necessary, *face covering is not needed and not found in islam anywhere. *
Loose clothing with simple scarf like cover is absolutely fine.
