Young Muslims add glam to their hijabs

[Spring Onion]

Come on now Jana, no one in his right mind is asking you show anything so why should have a problem is beyond me - UBU jana, cover that up, Pleez

lolz because you were saying hijabi girls are not normal lolzzz

Muse i dont know why you guys are linking it faith always because this is just an attire and these days fashionable accessories are also available like pins for fixing the scarfs. These pins are so beautiful stars, diamonds studded.

The scarfs these days available are in different attractive designs and all.


The bottom line is let us decided what suites us. Dont give neo-liberal and mullah fatwas telling us what makes us normal or otherwise.

hijabi girls are not normal

^That definitely is not a normal comment lol.

So i suppose a well educated western life style living woman who reverted back to Islam (tony blair's sister in law) is not normal because she has started to wear Hijab?

Even orthodox Jewish women wear head covering.

Leh, bhalai ka zamana nahi raha.

Pop culturally speaking traditionally all Muslim men are blamed for their women wearing Hijabs (yes I mean the scarf). By default it is assumed that the men have forced their women into wearing the Hijab - now if a woman chooses to wear it on her own, men have a right to understand and of course debate upon her choice as well. Of course I would agree with you that men don't have the right to dictate the choice, neither do other women, its an individuals choice

Oh yara Asim look at Muse he is speaking about his own choices.

Just look at this topic here its understandably women are following a fashion in between some conception that they are at the same time adhering to the Islamic values of covering the body.

But here Muse/some are questioning this combination. NOW if the Same was advocated by West, US etc etc then it would have been called presenting "Moderate Islam". But if it comes from women in Islamic countries it has become a un-digestible thing for many

Now tell me where should we go. If women wear scarf or hijab as a fashion men have problem. If we wear it due to our obligation to our Islamic values then such men have a problem.


I do wear scarf/hijab where i consider it needed to have. I have to take care of cultural sensitivities of different areas. And above i dont have to reject different societies just to show that i am modern and they are not. They are more moderate than us its only that we have to take off our colour glasses.


I really am disappointed with Muse notion/criteria of declaring someone normal on the basis of dress code.

Hijabi beauty contest..

I'm not gone for 5 minutes and you're talking behind my back - you say:

Muse i dont know why you guys are linking it faith always because this is just an attire and these days fashionable accessories are also available like pins for fixing the scarfs. These pins are so beautiful stars, diamonds studded

that's the point I was making, that this scarf hijab has nothung to do with religion and is instead a fashion choice -- now do I think girls, any kind even jewish, covering themselves up is abnormal, yes I do - now of course it's a individual choice, I wouldn't want ot stop someone from their fashion choice, but I will be busting them for insisting that it's a religious obligation for Muslims.

If you have a problem with that, what can I say, you just have to deal with it - anyway jana, like I said nobody, absolutely nobody in their right mind is asking you to show anything, so why are you getting hot and bothered about it?

OK so you wear this scarf/Hijab not as a fashion choice but because of the unique culture you seek to appease -- I don't have a problem with your practical choice, why should you object to my sensibility? Who died and said you could in the first place?

You live in a heavy Talib infested area and you seek to appease them because of your profession, journalist I mean, fine but why ride a high horse for your practical choice?

In any case given the unique cultural context you live in, it's not girls who have to as concerned as young boys, right?

 

[BATMAN]

Why can't we leave the people around us to be free in their beliefs and practices, as long they do no harm!

I see nothing unethical or ill-cultured in Hijab.

Hijab is being followed by Muslim girls all over the world from decades.... before it use to be floral and now with advancing textile its texture is also getting innovative so their is nothing strange to discuss.

I start to have a feeling people on this forum have either seen it first time or are just trolling.

It is just a normal scene in the street... in all over Islamic world.
In 70's scarf and long coat in winter was common dress for Pakistani women and it was commonly available in Pakistan. I remember women from my family and girls in my school using it regularly.....in past.

I even have pictures of my family from mid 70's wearing scarf and long warm coats in winter. one can even see it in videos clips from that time.

I think in 80's due to advent of VCR, Indian culture started to dominate through Hindi movies and our identity lost some where in between 80's and 90's.

I understand the element of jealousy among non Muslims but i'm fine to live among women who wish to be innovative about their scarfs.
Even a hood is an innovative scarf! and is a copy from Moroccan scarf.

To be honest, it is burqa which look more funny.... but i would not insult some one for wearing it but discourage it by promoting innovative alternates.

 

[muse]

I like Miss hijab Morocco - I just think Moroccan girls are really pretty and friendly - I do recommend Morocco as a vaction spot - by the way great contest, I'm sure Jana would approve.

 

[ironman]

And i see men going in circles speaking their own mindset pouring some crap wrapped in so-called "intelligent modern talk"

bwahahaha


One word Get a Life guys.


Let the women wear whatever this is to us.

I dont know what is the problem with Muse if you think showing flesh girls are normal and those who wear a scarf (yes this is scarf and NOT Hijab) or cover their heads are not normal then you have some very confused ideas about normality

If someone sees an object with a blurred vision. The treatment needs for the eye not the object.

 

[Luftwaffe]

Geez its weird some people stare at women and take them as daily candy dose forgetting their wives daughters and sisters can be victim and prey of such eyes or do they approve such for other men.

I'm not gone for 5 minutes and you're talking behind my back

i am not Muse secondly i dont talk behind anybody's back neither i mince my words.

that's the point I was making, that this scarf hijab has nothung to do with religion and is instead a fashion choice -- now do I think girls, any kind even jewish, covering themselves up is abnormal, yes I do - now of course it's a individual choice, I wouldn't want ot stop someone from their fashion choice, but I will be busting them for insisting that it's a religious obligation for Muslims.

And i feel they have the right to bust you for telling them that removing or not wearing the scarf is sign of modernity.

If you have a problem with that, what can I say, you just have to deal with it - anyway jana, like I said nobody, absolutely nobody in their right mind is asking you to show anything, so why are you getting hot and bothered about it?

I have a problem with men speaking about attire of Women simple as that. be anti-religion extremists or religious extremists

OK so you wear this scarf/Hijab not as a fashion choice but because of the unique culture you seek to appease -- I don't have a problem with your practical choice, why should you object to my sensibility? Who died and said you could in the first place?

You live in a heavy Talib infested area and you seek to appease them because of your profession, journalist I mean, fine but why ride a high horse for your practical choice?

i smell frustration in your comment. Get out of your delusion and you may understand the world does not need your glasses to see everything the way you want to see it.

If i say people like you who adopt West, US for living and in return are appeasing the goras by choosing semi-nude dresses for their women what will you say ?

In any case given the unique cultural context you live in, it's not girls who have to as concerned as young boys, right?

Given the unique culture i live in i have seen our men having sound understanding and sane thinking than what you are saying here atleast

I am sure i dont need to participate here or in any activity using my vital assets rather brain which we have irrespective of whether we cover ourselves or not

 

[Awesome]

It's not like any of us here can or are forcing any one particular way of life. Most of us would advocate for things that we perceive as either a normal or good life.

Questions asked revolve around:

1. If you want modesty then why do you want to be good looking
2. If you don't want to be good looking, then thats not normal, why don't you want to be normal?

Personally, normalcy is overrated, and I won't take it too personally till the point ridiculous anti-freedom laws are passed under the guise of secularism or for that matter ridiculous theocratic laws.

Your choices in a free world are thus:

1) Don't care what the anti-Hijab folks thinks
2) Convince the anti-Hijab folks to jump on the bandwagon
3) Give up the hijab

Your choice can't be that they by default perceive your options as normal. Your normal, is yours, their normals is theirs.

Lol this is too much of a philosophical rant now.

sure and the treatment if anyone needs that are some Men.

They need to be admitted to hospitals for a long time

 

[Patriot]

One thing i don't understand.I have seen women who go to Pakistan wear modern dress but when return to Eruope wear Hijab??..what is that about?

 

[Spring Onion]

Questions asked revolve around:

1. If you want modesty then why do you want to be good looking

So according to male point of view Looking Good negates modesty?

How? do you think you look good only when you wear a skirt or bikni?

i dont think so. Because modesty does not mean looking ugly or resort to less amount of dress.

2. If you don't want to be good looking, then thats not normal, why don't you want to be normal?

And who says those who opt for scarf or all cover up means they dont want to look good?

It varies from woman to woman. All want to look good some show their looks to the chosen men and some want to show the good looks in public BUT without showing their skin. It does not mean they are abnormal.

Personally, normalcy is overrated, and I won't take it too personally till the point ridiculous anti-freedom laws are passed under the guise of secularism or for that matter ridiculous theocratic laws.

Agreed. Thats what i had been saying i dont think so any of the extremes is good. Both are nuts.

Your choices in a free world are thus:

1) Don't care what the anti-Hijab folks thinks
2) Convince the anti-Hijab folks to jump on the bandwagon
3) Give up the hijab

1. who cares for the moronic phobias as long as it is not getting worst

2. anti-hijabi folks can continue their rants as long as they dont step on my head i wont mind

3. Sorry giving up anything under pressure from people who somehow are wrong is the worst kind of defeat.

Your choice can't be that they by default perceive your options as normal. Your normal, is yours, their normals is theirs.

Lol this is too much of a philosophical rant now.

Is something is abnormal with their perception that is NOT my headache

 

[Awesome]

Zaki, check that out. Now that particular Burkini model was in an all bendy position caressing the water... Poetic images may come to mind, but normally it sort of meets the purpose of a more liberal minded Muslim

I think poses have a lot to do with how such pictures are viewed as well.

And behold, Burqini life guard!

I know you guys are focusing on the logic of things, but I'm more or less focusing on the increase in activity and exposure to the modern world for these women while maintaining whatever their person values are.
