Re: 'Remove full veils' urges Straw
Assalamu Alaikum
sexual frustration of some sort?
Please we should not accord that it could be possible to be such. Rather deny any such possiblity in the open so as not to become causal to.
I think it is rather that many European Nobility types regard that it is their right to access the vanity of any person they please through looking at their hair. Many wealthy and powerful Europeans are quite accustomed to assessing any person at immediate sight by what mental imagery comes into their mind about hair. They regard that as a sign of what is real unfortunately since hair can also accord any image of known disease. So all the more reason for us to cover. Also reason to express that our own accounts are only held in knowledge among other Muslims. This is an important issue that I am particularly sensitive to as a person with family whom are not Muslim, and also in that I have obligation within Aboriginal Kinship to action of many Prayer of the Muslim among and in ancestry, but that Kinship system includes many non-Muslim Aborigines, and that accords a danger. So I am thereby often assumed wrongfully to be not meeting any obligation within Aboriginal Kinship, but only by, in entering the Ummah by preference to the Aboriginal system (since it is faulted by modern circumstance), having not so frequently been attuned with Aboriginal kinship.
I think the media blew it out of proportion if you ask me, they just want to highlight the veil rather then what Straw said. It's just another potryal by the media about how Muslims are and how they don't follow society...
The Pope's comments didn't quite get the riots going and the Muslims didn't react so maybe this story might trigger something.
Muslims needed to be far more careful about the Pope as he could readily have been baiting us into giving false proof of allegations against us; but as we do not know, we can only know never to trust the motivation of the assertions of any persons receiving benefit from the fact that many Catholic Churches still today assault congregations with presenting Father, Son and Holy Ghost as through individual men, rather than as three manifestations of matter which in Allah alone combine as one. However, even without knowing what kind of person Straw is, it seems that his comment could trigger a more useful opposition of the right wing dislike of Islam.
I reckon that particularly given that France legislated against children schooling with any expression of Religious beleif apparent, and knowing that such could (and by now has) discriminate against Muslim girls receiving adequate education; Hijab is most probably that issue around which many ideological battles are most safely able to be conducted.
I would like to make the point that in many cultures it is regarded as wrong for any eye contact between man and women whom are not family or preparing to become married. Here is another example: in New Zealand (Aoteora) Maori (a people) culture for a child to look into an adults eye that is not immediate family is the height of vulgarity. Maori school children in the past were condemed for not looking teachers in the eye but when they had been made appropirately afraid to by culture. I often feel that I would prefer to be able to keep my eyes covered to keeping all but my hair covered with veil; but of course in modest clothing also.
Perhaps if the issue of Hijab is likely to become a larger manifested argument then we should begin to be more openly analytical among persons in the west whom enquire as to why is Hijab and what is Hijab as well as what they guess of how is Hijab. In fact the "how" may then be able to be better proven when we can remove wrong perception of whys and whats. Many in the west may already be accessing the Muslim teaching of how Hijab is manifest in mind. For example the genetic of red/orange hair is already an embodiment of.
What fools they will be proven for an assault to the worth of Hijab. But in that we also will be better enabled to condition women in the west into better modesty.
Perhaps the total answer should be some sort of equation. For every one Muslim woman, whom upon one day, felt that in Allah her work that day needed not be under a veil: how many many women in the west must be enabled to consider Islam to accomodate the expense?
Assalamu Alaikum
