[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's lots of breathable fabric to wear in summer, for those who chose to cover themselves. I haven't heard Muslim women died due to heat because of they covered themselves.

As to why, they are believers, no matter at what stage, beginner or pious. Their choices and why are between them and God.

Not all coverage are bad. We'll make our own choices. Some believe they are too precious to be shared with others.  [b]Ex: I choose to buy unopened packages of Oreo, rather than the open packages, because I want the best Oreos in the store. [/b]

This is a terrible analogy.  [b]You are basically equating women to cookies, that is, something to be consumed by other people, not a human being who exists for herself.[/b]

That's terribly sad, and what upsets me most about the hijab.

You are also saying that women who DON'T wear the hijab are not "the best."  This is in exact opposition to the argument that hijab is a personal choice and reflects no opinion on non-hijab wearers or their piety or their goodness.

Mona Eltahawy, an Egyptian commentator, stopped wearing hijab after a woman on a bus told her that she was not covered enough wearing just a headscarf, because no one wants a half-wrapped piece of candy.  Her response was "I am not candy."  And then she stopped wearing the hijab.

this.  The pp's post almost makes me think that this is how all Muslim men view women.  That we are simply somethings to be had, an object.  We are similar to a food and if someone has had us before then we aren't worth anything.  I can't imagine being part of a religion or culture that views women this way. [b] It's just as bad as objectifying women for sex.  It's pretty much the same thing.[/b]  What's the different between a man who wants his wife covered up and a pervert predator who sexually assaults women?  Pretty much nothing.  They are both women who don't value women and see them as objects.  [/quote]

It's just two sides of the same coin- women are an object, meant for men's pleasure or use.[/quote]
