I am a Muslim but I live in the Caribbean and I am freaked out by people in burkas. It's just too hot to wear them here so it's kind of weird if you are wearing one and how do I know that you are really a woman and not a man with a gun?
thats why burkas are forbidden in Holland, I think its okay for people to wear them, but if a headscarf is enough, why put yourself in so much strain...?
Because that's what they were born and raised with. If you were taught to wear one thing for your entire life, how could you just change that one day? Don't say such stupid things without thinking about where these women were raised and putting yourself in their shoes.
I can say as an Afghan girl that the girls I have seen in Afghanistan, Saudi and a lot of European countries are raised a bit different than you think. You see, they arent that oppressed and grown into thinking Niqaab is the must-do. Even in the countryside, they wear a headscarf loose on their heads, ofcourse there are families where all girls wear those out of love of God and stuff, and some just inherited the face veil (they wear it because everyone does)....
Irs not obligatory to wear them in Islam, so I find it unneccesary (but thats my opinion :)
Yeah I know, I'm from Iran. But a lot of women who are older prefer to wear more traditional things because their government and religion has forced them to for so long, that they can't live any other way.
there are good people then there are bad people. same as there are good muslims and then there are the bad muslims who terrorize. even good muslims are afraid of bad muslims. like good citizens are afraid of criminals. theyre all people. and so are muslims. please. not all muslims are terrorists. just so we're clear.
