what does the taliban have to do with muslims and Islam ?
Super shot, sir !
Burqa have nothing to do with Islam yes. But the purpose it serves ( I mean parda) have everything to do with Islam. Jewish religion is abrahmic religion just like Islam. So the concept exist in Islam too. Just like prohibition from drugs, alcohol etc.
But the question is the extent of Parda.
The rest of your post I will answer at length in a few days but I must say I did not expect some of that from you.
What is wrong with being pious and Islamic
Why should we be so defensive?
Muslims should live their lives for the sake of Islam and not to please non-Muslims.
Nothing wrong in being pious and Islamic but the question is the definition of those two.
What is the obsession of many Muslims of the past twenty years - male and female - to connect being Islamic with a certain oppressive and in-your-face dress code ?
While non-Muslims are building capability to be on Mars by the mid-2030s Muslim men are engaging in competition about how many foot-long the beard is and Muslim women are competing over how big is their veil. Especially in India. Is this what Islam all about ?
Of course beards are not automatic indicators of regressive thought because, if you read this thread of mine ( an article by Nadeem Paracha of Dawn ), Muslim men with beards were engaged in progressive thought in the years after the Russian revolution of 1917. Sad that the face of the active and practicing Muslim man today is not one with progressive thought with grounding in the progressive socio-economic thought of Islam but one who is obsessed with filling his neighborhood mosque 10 times a day for prayer.
