Sorry, I couldn't view the video.

From the Independent article:

http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/lets-face-it--the-niqab-is-ridiculous-and-the-ideology-behind-it-weird-8831691.html

The niqab is a ridiculous garment, adopted by a small (but growing) number of women and rejected by many mainstream Muslims. When I see someone wearing it, I'm torn between laughing at the absurdity and irritation with the ideology it represents. In secular countries, the notion that women have to cover their faces whenever they leave the house is rightly seen as weird, and runs counter to the principle of gender equality. Many brave women in the Middle East and Asia have died for the much more important right not to cover their faces, and I have little patience with women in this country who make a mockery of that struggle by trying to pretend they're the ones suffering oppression.[/quote]

She's not required to have patience with anything.  This is just her opinion. Everybody's got one.

When I see someone wearing shortie shorts, an exposed butt crack or too much cleavage, I am torn between laughing at the absurdity and irritation with the ideology it represents. [/quote]

Are you equally as disturbed when men walk around with no shirts or wear Speedos at the beach or  expose their underwear b/c it's the "cool" thing to do?

Although you may find a miniskirt offensive, at least there's the choice to dress freely - which is offered to both men and women.

Muslim men, however, can walk around freely w/o having to cover their heads. Now, I'll give Muslims props for at least forcing men to cover their chests in front of non-mahram women.

But good Lord - These rules for women are never-ending!

Covering of Women

:shock:

[quote]A Woman must cover her entire body, with the exception of her face and hands from non-Mahram men; and in the event that there is any zinat on her face or hands, such as a ring or if she has shaped her eyebrows, or she has applied Surma to her eyes, even if these things are common among old women, it is not wajib to cover them. In other than these scenarios, a woman must cover her zinat from non-Mahram men. However, according to Ihtiyat Mustahab, a woman should cover her face and hands from a non-Mahram, even if there is no zinat on them[/quote][/quote]
I ask, again -what's it to you how adult, consenting members of a particular community decide to dress? No one is asking you to live by these rules. [/quote]

damn right
b/c that's only b/c I was lucky enough to be born into a culture that gives freedom to women

Again, some may think Daisy Duke shorts are for "whores."  fine
But there are men who run in fairly skimpy shorts, too, and who walk around with no shirts (both flabby and toned)

But we have choices.

The quran doesn't offer choices now, does it?  And even if it's been misinterpreted to some extent, it's been used purposely to subjugate women.

bunch of bull written by MEN
