[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Covering (and its many levels) is due to a bastardized interpretation of the Quran.

So I ask this - Who - MALE or FEMALE - interpreted the Quran in this manner, forcing women to cover from head to toe?

I think we have an answer and it certainly won't receive approval from Gloria Steinem.  [/quote]
Sure. Whatever you say, o the mufti of DCUM.[/quote]

Please enlighten us then.

The Quran discusses modesty.  It encourages women to cover their heads and necks and to only show "flashy" accessories to their husbands and close family members.  still ridiculous, as it's "wisdom" from some ancient text

But do tell us how it went from head to full body armor.

This about says it all.  What a twisted view.

^^ What a distorted, effed up quote that woman has in her sign. I do not believe hijab is inherently a relic of patriarchy, or about religion (for many it definitely is just cultural), but the above message absolutely conveys that a covered women is like covered candy - an object, with value measured in her appearance.

And also hypocritical - she's wearing makeup to spruce herself up. It boggles my mind when someone says they wear hijab for religious reasons, yet wear skinny jeans, or heals, or makeup, or drawing attention to their face or body with clothes & accessories yet still proclaim to be a hijabi for "modesty" reasons.

Wear hijab - that's fine. It's like an accessory and it means nothing in terms of morals or religiosity. If you like it, wear it. But comparing yourself to a wrapped piece of candy just highlights the effed-up-ness of why some people wear hijab.

[fwiw I come from a Muslim background, so this is certainly something I've seen and discussed a lot with others][/quote]
