A Mufti (muslim scholar) sat next to a Reverend on a flight.
The Rev asked the Mufti, What is your occupation?
Mufti: I'm into big business
Rev: But what business exactly?
Mufti: I deal with God
Rev: Ah, so you're a Muslim religious leader. I have one problem with you Muslims: you oppress your women.
Mufti: How do we oppress women?
Rev: You make your women cover up completely and you keep them in the homes.
Mufti: Ah. I have a problem with you people: you oppress MONEY.
Rev: What? How can one oppress money?
Mufti: You keep your money hidden away, in wallets, banks and safes.. You keep it covered up. Why don't you display it in public if it's a beautiful thing?
Rev: It will get stolen, obviously.
Mufti: You keep your money hidden because it is so valuable. We value the true worth of women far, far more. Therefore, these precious jewels are not on display to one and all. They are kept in honour and dignity....

Hey wilber. I think this is a point that most westernerz dont understand. Its not ur fualt. When i get married i will treat my wife like the way a diomond merchant treats a diomond. I will keep her close 2 me i will not allow other men to think nasty things about her due 2 the clothing she wearz. And i will protect her dignity, modesty n freedom. Is that oppression and if she wishes 2 da same to me, than she can.
Our preperation continued, with our efforts and the efforts of our brothers, for years and years. Through out that time we gathered, observed and waited until the moment to move arrived.

The example ignores the fact that money is material possession with no will to speak of. This cannot be compared to the advocation of keeping women behind closed doors. Women are autonomous and are able to make conscious decisions. Granting them the ability to dress how they wish and valuing their own autonomy is a method of granting them dignity and respect.

We know this, our sisterz hav the freedom 2 do wat they want. So long as it complies with islam. Iam jus glad a rapist wud much rather choose a lady who is wearing a skirt rather than a sister who is wearing a jilbab. Coz u c the parts that a rapist desires r visable 4 him, so he choses the easy target. Not 2 say all rape victims wanted 2 get raped. It is men who Commit these sins, and this type of clothing is protection i the sisterz and protection 4 men who can not control their thoughts and actions.
