scrapking said: Let me get this straight... we're worried that men are making women wear veils, so we make them not wear them? How is that any kind of a solution? All these people saying to ban them, do you live in North Korea or something? Or aspire to that kind of government? Be careful what you wish for, you just might get a government that starts telling you what YOU can and can't do about inconsequential things too. Not a precedent I'm excited to set. |
If you knew anything about the backwardiness of the culture who would realize it more then just men forcing thier wife to wear a veil.

the problem is that we're basically holding a tug-of-war match with the hijabis in the middle.
We have one side which wants them gone, with the other wanting them to be enforced on all women. Which side is better? None! Any side which is extremely pro or anti hijab will typically have a viewpoint which is hypocritical or flat out wrong.
Women should be able to wear it if they desire(as many do prefer the modest route). That isn't to say you're a slut or some devil for not wearing it. Many women choose to not wear it. Obsessing over such a dumb issue just makes us lose focus on actual problems such as people being forced to wear the veil, child marriage, child pornography, etc. All issues many poor females must deal with.
either way, women will get bad looks. You'll get bad looks from extreme muslims for not wearing the hijab, and you'll get bad looks from xenophobes had you chosen to wear the veil. You simply cannot win. I understand one disliking the niqab/burqa, but the hijab doesn't bring any sort of trouble. Not only that, but it allows her to easily be checked for ID without any sort of problems.
Forcing the veil? Horrible. Not allowing women to wear it? Horrible as well.
