@vibarva not, women still have the right to wear the scarf. The issue is not about whether or not ISLAM is good or bad. I could think of a bunch of other religions which are more tolerated, that are ten folds worse than islam. And what if I left Islam, but decided to keep the scarf? Will I still be forced by law to take it off? So long as me wearing it does not infringe upon others' personal freedoms I am allowed to wear it... it's my human right.

@vibarva ... 4 months! If you had read the chapter from the beginning (which is not hard since the chapter begins a couple of lines before that verse, you would have not had such a misconception. But I take that from the very moment you opened the book you had one intention and had already formulated an opinion about it. By the way... this verse wasn't EVEN about Jews and christians... the prophet married a jew and a christian. We can go on forever with this topic, but islam being the truth or..

@vibarva Where are you getting your numbers? I'm starting to wonder if you've even read the quraan. the verse you so mis-quote is actually taken out of context. It speaks of the peagans from whom the muslims fleed (because they were being persecuted). First God told the muslims to seek refuge else where and to commit to passive resistance, then when the peagans attacked them again (violating the truce), God ordered muslims to kill those who violate the treaty and kill muslims, but AFTER...

When it comes to the regulation against veils and crosses in France it is not a law that encourages freedom of thought or a law against religious symbols. It is a law that in itself neglect freedom of interpretation of symbols-freedom of thought! To get into society women must submit to a western cultural view of modesty. And muslims do show their hair to other women, so it is a law for them to submit and show it to france men really. No more freedom than to submit to muslim men and covering it.

And muslim women who think it must symbolise submission.. Alredy thousands of years before Islam women wore it as a symbol of their freedom. Ironic now. And no western political woman can tell me veiling can not be compatible with freedom of thought. For I belong to no religiousgroup, brought up and live in the society of sexualization -and I choose to wear the veil (and modest clothes). And I´ve never known anyone who encouriaged me! I have my own thoughts.

It is not a religious symbol, it is a religious requirement. There is a difference! Muslims wear veils because they have a clothing-style where they only show their face and hands when they have hit puberty. To tell a veiled muslim woman to take off her veil is like telling a Westernized woman to take off her bra.. Meaning she would feel immodest. That is just cruel!

This is just wrong, I'm a christian and I cover, though my veil is a bit different, and I wear a cross also. So glad I don't live in France. The degree to which a woman takes her own modesty is in my opinion a measure of her espect for herself and for God. More importantly it's a matter of personal concience and that some people, even some governments, refuse to accept us (those of us who veil) is disgusting

It's disturbing to think humans accept a more sexually revealing person than a person who is more self respecting and covered up. I wish we could seriously ditch our instinct to judge people by their appearance and sexual attractiveness and accept a person based on who they are as a person, not physically. But the fact that laws in western countries are going AGAINST that is scary. In my country (Canada) they recently made it illegal to wear Niqab at citizenship ceremony. It makes me furious. |
