non muslim women dress up as muslims

[7ai_3la_Alsalah]

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.

Ummm, you said Most Christians!!!, I thought that there is no problem for them to wear what they want, rarely if I would see a Christian cares to wear an acceptable clothes except Nuns and some Christian women in suburbs, the case is better with Jewish who cares to cover up their women, but your post are very interesting, you also said that some Amish and Mennonites have more stricter way of dressing than Muslims, so could you explain it more, also if you please have links "website" for those sects of Christians I'd be glad.

Peace

Luckily, here in the Muslim world, we don't either

The boy shouted I want to see whether she has a tail.

Was the little boy Goku?? ;D

Abby,

1/4 Women don't go out because the think they're ugly, and 1/6 are scared about what men will think of them when they go out. That's because if you aren't dressed up and aren't all 'hot and sexy', there's huge pressure.

If that's not torture, I don't know what is LOL!

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.

Well it's a huge source of tension in the Western world... Heck, Dove's even running a campaign against women being objectified ahah

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!

Well, thats not true. There are quite a lot of Muslims in Denmark, in cities they are a very large minority, and perhaps even a majority in some neighborhoods.

You'd really have to live in the country side and never go to the city to not see Muslims all the time.

Edit: bah, only just now saw the thread is almost a year old!

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

Have any of you people considered that maybe europeans are simply not interested in teaching about islam, because they have better things to do in their life ^o)

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.

u have probaly never even visited a Muslim country so dont talk garbage! there are several western women dressed up in tight tops, skirts in Muslim countries, such as UAE, DUBAI, KUWAIT, LEBANON, TURKEY, INDONESIA, TUNIS, MORROCO, EGYPT and i could go on forever so dont talk with ignorance next time, face the reality your culture and people are rude racists thats it you can only pick on Muslim women then later say we want to free Muslim women!

my sister said people act less rude/racist wiv her wen im around hehe :brother: :brother: :coolbro:

thats true like when it just me and my sis who go out we always get looks and comments thrown at us but we dont care but when im with my dad i dont get any, people just walk pass with their heads down its like, WAT!

Good point. Hijab is freedom from all that

 

[Neelam92]

without my hijab i dont think i would be free

HIJAB=FREE
What is exactly going through ur mind?
As ur standing there staring at me?

You call me oppressed,
simply because of the way I'm dressed.

But don’t u see under the hijab that I wear I do care,
My head is not bare.

But remember I’m wearing my hijab,
And I know that makes me strong,
Even though they think its all wrong.

They don’t know it's kind of tough,
Especially when times like this comes which makes it rough.

They think that I do not have opinions or voice,
they think that being hooded isn't my choice.

I have a voice so I will be heard,
for in my heart I carry His word.

Now it’s my time to turn and say,
‘But don’t u see that I am truly free,
This piece of cloth I wear so proudly,
To preserve my dignity,
All I wanted is equality
Why can’t u just accept me for who I am?

I walk away with a smile and say,
‘I’m the one who is free’

Do you see someone limited?
Or someone free?

The only responsible for the so called "islamophobia" are muslim terrorists. There are some reasons why europeans are fear of muslims, not hindus, chinese or buddhists.

WHAT???:grumbling

 

[Cognescenti]

Intolerance goes both ways. Do you think the ridiculous demands from the Muslim world about a stupid cartoon may have influenced Danish opinion?

I have not seen Abby answer this. I am a little familiar with Amish, Mennonites and Quakers. they do dress very modest and most only dress in black.

Here are some typical pictures.

I've meet couple Christian women who do not wear trousers or tight fitted cloths due to the faith but they are very rare.

Even living in a country that prides them self on multi-culturalism and being open minded people would be suprised at the back lash that alot of muslims get here in canada, its good in alot of ways ive seen fights in the street due to religious issues ive heard alot of bad things from people who did not know i was muslim, espically people who do not know alot of muslim men or woman. ive seen people scared of me, had people say they cant be friends with me due to the fact i was muslim, and have people scared of me just because of what they see on the media. altho i have made friends of some people like that- that are now more open minded and not so judgmental anymore

in a way it seems bad a non muslim put themself in a muslims dress however its almost good that people see how it is to be in our shoes.

personally i think that some islamic groups are doing very non islamic things and over reacting but you know its pasted down to them from generation to generation its a circle of hate that im afraid to say may never end...its very sad

 

[zarhad]

altho i was very upset personally by the danish cartoon even though i wasnt out in the streets like alot of people they should have known that our religion is a lot less liberal then others

Is there a country on this planet in which a Muslim minority feel completely at ease?

I think most multicultural countries have some level of tension and known some unease between different groups. And Muslims are a very proud people with a strong sense of identity. This only makes it harder, especially if the majority is somewhat intolerant and demands assimilation.

I believe that it is difficult for the member of a minority, Religous, Ethnic or Race, in any country.

However, I find Austin to be very accepting and understanding of minorities. Possibly because Austin is very diverse and it is difficult to see any particular group as being a clear majority. Austin is like a conglomerate of minorities.

Perhaps the secret to end discrimination is to recognize the fact that each person is unique and a minority of one.
