[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 166507, member: 2709"] [b]Re: Why hijab in Islam??????[/b] Naben ji, some Muslim women do not wear a headscarf, yet some others feel everything should be covered except the eyes (niqab) and yet others want everything covered except [B]one eye[/B], and others again say they woman shouldn't be seen at all and so we have the burqa with the screen over the eyes. Sikh women should not wear a veil over their faces and are prohibited from veiling their faces in Darbar Sahib, Waheguru! Dhan Dhan Guru Amar Das Ji wouldn't hold audience with a woman wearing a veil. If being veiled should remove the threat to personal safety, why is Afghanistan, famous for burqas, also famous for violence against women? Arguments as you have presented here do a disservice to Muslim men by giving the impression they cannot control their lust in any way. That a mere glimpse of a woman will send them into a lusty rage. It says nothing from the woman's perspective - it is all about the men, men, men and it is a bit patronizing when you say women are but for the adornment of men (yet women can't have any adornment themselves, not even a pretty headscarf, according to the information you presented). When I was a member of a Muslimah forum, many of the women there were very fond of their headscarves, abayas, and even niqab. It was for them a connection to Allah, they felt they were obeying Allah, and in Sikh terms I think they felt their hijab was a curtain between them and the Maya in the outside world. I think it's wonderful that they read for themselves and make educated decisions about what they want to wear without some men saying 'If you don't cover yourself up I'm going to rape you!' which is kinda how it sounds when men try to tell women that hijab is so necessary for them. I find myself thinking, perhaps men should be taking a little bit more responsibility for themselves... Unfortunately, hijab doesn't protect women for abuse and assault. The only thing that will protect women is proper education of everyone - men and women. And even then, a bad apple is not going to think twice about abusing a woman just because she's wearing some kind of covering. And Western society has problems, and so does the Arab world Naben. The Arab world is not perfect (as much as you'd like to believe it is). However, the root of all evil in Western civilisation is not because women don't cover up everything except their face and palms. Also, I've done my learning on Islamic websites, watching Islamic da'wah shows on TV, and speaking with actual Muslims and hearing their life experiences and referring to their sources. This is a much better way than one person bringing their views to me on my own turf, so to speak, where I am more inclined to give a response from the Sikh perspective and not give the subject proper consideration or further investigation.
