If they want to dress that way that is fine. If they are forced to by abusive husbands, then it isn't.
I don't imagine it's black and white one way or the other... if you're raised in that habit (!) then you'd possibly feel exposed without it and therefore being told you're forbidden to go outside without your face on display would be stressful.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

It's black and white for me. It doesn't fit with Western liberal values. I wouldn't want my wife or daughter subjected to this nor, I suspect, do you.Comment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostThere was a BBC4 program a few months ago about the history of the veil. It has been used in all Abrahamic religions over the centuries to control women. The program pointed out women have happily gone along with this because in many cultures and religions when it was fashionable - the more covered you were the richer you were. Then it became a point in each society that if you weren't covered as a woman you were a slave or prostitute.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition.

My family travelled a lot when I was young, I went to international schools etc. in different countries hardly any young Muslims covered their head?
Now it seems to be the norm, or increasing in popularity, therefore there must be a reason for itThe Chunt of Chunts.Comment
