non muslim women dress up as muslims

[julie sarri]

i read on the web yesterday that 2 non muslim danish women dressed up as muslim women in the full islamic dress went out in the street to see the reaction from the danish people and were horrified at the resonance they got being call disgusting names by the genial pubic most of it coming from the old the 2 women said that the danish pubic had know understanding or respect for muslim people or islam there were some young children on a bus they got on and they kept looking at us and seemed scared of us the 2 women said we couldent wait to get home and we still cant belive the way we were treated :sister:

 

[Rabi'ya]

well its nice to have something like this happen. I think all too often we(as Muslims) think that the whole world is against us, when ni actual fact the majority of people actually are in favour of us.

We generalise too much. Thats really nice of the danish women to do that and i pray that they raise awareness to their community inshAllah



Rabi'ya:rose:

So what?

Can you imaging the reaction if two muslim ladys dressed up in western clothing in a muslim country (short skirts, tight tops...etc) pretty sure they'd get a similer reaction. Pretty hypocritical.

Assalamu Alaikum

First off it is not hypocritical because when the Muslim women are treated that way it is because they are "Muslim". Nothing those women are doing went against their belief. It is not like for Christians or whatever religion it is a sin to wear a hijab and 3abaya.
Now if a woman walked in a street full of Muslims in a short skirt and tight top, she would be doing something AGAINST our religion. She would be violating the law too in some countries, and she would be disrespecting the Muslim people there. It is NOT the same thing.
Besides I live in the UAE and unfortunately there are plenty of short skirt tight top wearing women here and you dont see any heads getting chopped off do you.

 

[j4763]

Heads chopped off? I never said that! But you will get many disapproving looks; there are very few Muslims in Denmark so of course you’re going get people staring, just like you would if a white man walked through a remote African village!

 

[Cheb]

The head chopped off remark was just a point I was making...I know you didnt say it.
Anyway the point of the thread was to show that they were being treated in a disgusting way, not just being stared at. The fact that there are few Msulims in Denmark is not an excuse. Staring is one thing and being treated badly is another.

 

[j4763]

Staring is one thing and being treated badly is another.

Totally agree.

But many Danish don’t understand Muslims and little is being done by Muslim to help them. And try to remember Denmark is a Christian country so there will be conflicting views.

Islam came as soemthing strange, and it will go back as something strange. Blessed are the strangers (ghuraba) :happy:

But the fact that they are treating them badly because they are Muslim even though they do not know what Islam is about is ignorance. It is not like we are gonna go knock on every door and teach them about Islam. They should seek the answers for themselves. No true Muslim will turn down a person of another religion seeking knowlege about Islam, all they need to do is ask

Sure there are conflicting views, but it should not affect the way people are treated. No one has the right to do so.

its not a clash of eastern versus western clothing

if you recall Mary (peace be upon her) was a pure chaste woman who covered up, and nuns too cover up and even strict jews cover up and even strict hindus cover up and even strict sikhs cover up. :sister: so i say Alhumdulillah most muslims in muslim populated countries cover up. note i said most muslims because not all muslims cover up.

 

[j4763]

That’s the hole thing about people of religion, imo there all ignorant to others religions, don’t want to learn others religions (learn as in learn not follow).

Me I’m religion free and am loving the freedom of learning others ways. (That’s the main reason I’ve come to an Islamic forum )

As'salamu Alaikum

A boy around 7 saw a Muslim Sister dressed with full hijab and burka waiting in the departure lounge in an US airport. The boy could not control his curiosity ran to the sister and raised her dress. The unexpected event shocked the sister who screamed loud. The embarrassed mother quickly grabbed the boy. The boy shouted I want to see whether she has a tail. It happened two years ago. The boy has got to know in the school that Muslims are different creatures.

This was narrated by a lecturer who was an eye witness to the incident.

Then it is a clash of East versus West. All those examples are of pious Jews - Semitic speakers from Palestine. Except the nuns who wear alien clothes in the Middle Eastern style. Muslims have more in common with Jews than Western Europeans.

and even strict hindus cover up and even strict sikhs cover up.

Actually before the Muslim invasions the Hindus seemed to go about with very little on. The Muslim and Christian sources often mention it. The Sari is, by Islamic and Christian standards, very immodest.

It probably seems natural to you but it seems odd to me that the female body would become such a source of tension for Muslims and Jews.

In Malaysia, nobody would care whatever you're wearing, hijab or not, sleeveless or not, showing pierced navel - whatever. But if you dont take shower, or very smelly - People will cover their noses LITERALLY regardless your gender, religion, ethnic whatver.

For most Christians, it is a sin to wear tight clothing and short skirts. My parents are Pentecostal Christians. They also have very strict guidelines for how women can dress. They believe that women are only allowed to wear very long skirts or dresses, can not wear make-up or jewelry, and are not allowed to cut their hair. I now go to an Assembly of God church with the same basics beliefs, but with less rules for how you can dress. There are other types of Christianity like the Mennonites and the Amish Christians who have even stricter standards of dress than the standards that Muslims have. Luckily, here in the western world, we don't torture women for dressing out of character, and I don't believe that anyone should ever be tortured for what they wear. However, I think it's very innappropriate for women to wear skimpy, tight clothes. Classy educated women don't do it.
