I am Angry.
Fire and Brimstone to be exact.
Today morning started off with a casual glance at the papers, and the top left headline carried a picture of a lady in a headscarf accompanied by the words, “
Firstly, Sarkozy’s remarks towards the Hijab being a “Sign of debasement/cut off from society/a life for women without identity” are open proof of his illiteracy of the term Hijab and the details into WHY Islam asks for it.
To cite a simple and oft cited example, place the Hijab alongside a catholic nun’s habit.
How many Sarkozy’s have gone forward and looked the Pope in the eye and said, “Mr. Pope, your nuns’ dresses are a symbol of denouncement to their gender, they live a life without identity and without social interaction like our “free” women in
Many would say, Hey a Woman who takes a nun’s vows does so of her own free will. Well helloooo, There are a majority of the women out there who don the hijab of their own free will as they know what their religion requires of them.
If you say that NO, the muslim women are FORCED into hijab, well ever considered the fact that maybe, Just maybe even the nuns are forced into a life of celibacy and dedication to the church??
It swings both ways people. There are differences between muslims regarding the importance of covering the face. But 99% of the sunni scholars accept the fact that wearing a headscarf is an uncontested issue. Shias are more strict with regards to hijab.
Anyway, the wearing of the scarf is not the issue here, the issue is Identity. Mr. Sarkozy says that the woman behind the veil lacks identity, FYI Mr. Sarkozy, A woman in hijab is distinctly identifiable as a Muslim lady. So that gives her an identity. She chooses to wear the Hijab as she understands who she is.
And please do not go on about how the civilized world has given the Woman a distinctive position in society.
Islam gave the rights to vote and rights for work and inheritance to women a long time before the western world woke to this. You still contest the rules because you fail to understand the wisdom behind which they are placed.
Come to the freedom of expression bit, so a woman can go dressed as she wills, even next to naked on the ramp walks of
And now this, the murder of Mrs. Marwa Al Sherbani. In the very “
Forgive me, but I belong to a nation which is not very advanced in its military and police, But aren’t you Europeans warriors since forever?? How difficult was it for a courtroom full of policemen to identify the man with the knife??
This legal system, which gives you immense pride, crumbled to bits in these few moments of anarchy. And it worsened when the governments chose to remain silent about this failure. I applaud the entire legal system of not only the country in question, but also the whole Democratic European world which has chosen to remain silent on the Broad daylight murder of Sister Marwa, or as she will henceforth be known, the Hijab Martyr.
I will not be surprised if the murderer is let off with a fine of a few thousand euros. I mean, even if he pays this lady’s weight in gold, her 3 year old son Mustafa will live through his life with one of his earliest memories being his mother being stabbed in a courtroom full of civilized people, and collapsing into a faded oblivion.
