[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]So, after Islam was practiced for over 1000 years in Afghanistan, women were forced to dress a certain way but Islam is to blame? Good thought process, good throughout process!! People got it wrong for over 1000 years....[/quote]

Could you explain a little more? This makes no sense, from any point of view. Sounds like you're trying to be sarcastic about Islam requiring women to veil for 1000 years in Afghanistan. But you can't mean that, can you?[/quote]

The opposite. Islam was practiced for over 1000 years in Afghanistan when that picture posted by the PP was taken therefore you can not blame Islam for forcing women to veil as they would have been wearing their niqabs and hijabs from day 1. Same thing in Saudi Arabia  where women before the 70s dressed differently.[/quote]

Huh? I'm not the poster who put up that picture, but surely her point was the opposite. Whatever you think of the Shah (and like others here, I don't think much of him), one of his defining things was taking control away from the turbans so that women could dress as they wanted. Without a religious police to tell them to throw a chador over that miniskirt. Why do you think the mullahs hated the shah so much?[/quote]

Oops, just looked at the picture. It's Afghanistan. Still, the same point applies: Afghanistan had a modernizing -- Russian-backed socialist! - government that religious folks hated. We even supported the religious folks against the Russians, and now we have the Taliban. You can't argue that Islam provided freedoms that were actually provided by the Russian proxies.[/quote]
You still don't get it.  These miniskirted women you see in the picture - they all Muslim as can be. Afghanistan has been Muslim for hundreds of years.  That women were forced to cover their faces in the last several decades had nothing to do with Islam. Otherwise they would have had to cover for all these centuries. [/quote]
