"The lame excuse that we are enslaved that we don't have the so-called freedom is such a false impression that even muslim women themselves decide to defend themselves to the maximum."

is there an epidemic of female molestation that i am unaware of?, is there a seedy underground which is waiting to pounce upon muslim women so that they purposely go to hell?

How are we as muslims are so ever enslaved if we continue to follow what Allah(swt) has told us to do?

when any man comes under the weight of ANY law then they are no longer in charge of their destiny, god takes full account of the thought not just the action, if you let the thought play out within then you will be able to move on, but if you prevent the thought in the first place then you are escaping a part of you which is inherent to being a human, and yes i believe that wrapping yourself in cotton wool is a form of slavery even if you are lead to believe it is for your protection. I used to be a part of amnesty international and for all the islami laws in iran to protect women, women are still one of the greatest number of criminals who are hanged for killing men because theydid not resist rape. Now i am sure youll find some fancy way to wriggle out of this fact but remember that when you shovel rape stats about the western world , they can easily be wriggled out of aswell. Simple fact: face each challenge as it comes, this world is a battlefield and women are expected to fight an equal battle not hide in a bunker.

If we are enslaved..we surely have the option to convert into another religion don't you think?

no cos i dont believe islam is as how you are brought up to believe it is, initially all religions start of the same and then because of feudalism, patriarchy and mysogynistic leaders the message goes astray. I bet if more women in isalm started to assert themselves in society as active equal participants men would initially be ashamed but ultimately consider updating their religious praxis.

If we are so oppressed..you wouldn't see a muslim woman wearing niquab for her own sake in the name of protection. As a a matter of fact, ask any niquabi you see why they wear niquab for? They will not tell you they are enslaved they will tell you its for the sake of protection hence a moral right

i never said you were opressed i believe islamic women are too subservient to men and the older women are equally aggressive to younger women because of the fear of men, i think muslim women should make an example of of macho men more this is the only way they can regain leadership and respect amongst all women in the ummah, once one is liberated that one will liberate many more. I dont believe all this stuff about muslim women wearing niqab for protection i think its sometimes a political message especially in the west, go to pakistan and you wouldnt think it was an islamic country, also its become cool and trendy to wear muslim fashion even non-muslims do it there even fashion cat-wals which i think is a good thing.
When i used to work in an office I used to always go to nandos with a muslim girl and she was a devout muslim she never had a problem yeah the blokes used to talk behing her back cos we used to go together but I and she and the staff at nandos all knew that nothing went on, just gossiping muslim men are trouble causers cos they got sad lives. well some of them anyways.
